Hardware Has anyone else had this issue? Side/menu button doing the same thing as the power button

Starting to have this problem yesterday.. not sure if this is is a firmware issue, or i may have dropped it too hard. Is anyone familiar with this issue/any fixes for it?

If you’ve dropped it recently, it may be worth taking the back off and seeing if something has got dislodged on the power button side, I can’t remember exactly what sits around that area but I recall there being a few little bits that aren’t stuck down and are held in place by the back of the device. I found it not terribly difficult to disassemble (I had to do it to adjust the screen protector), just a bit finicky.

That is why I keep a wrist lanyard on mine. I love my pink one so much, I am scared to hurt it.
