Does anyone else have a lazy power button?

This has been a thing from day one with my device: when I press the power button, it generally doesn't boot on the first try. I feel the button going down, I hear a small click, but nothing happens. Sometimes I have to spend an entire minute clicking the finally hear the startup sound. I assume it's a contact-related hardware issue.

I'd like to know if this is a common problem? If so, how can I fix it and does the risk exist that it becomes worse if I don't fix it?

The thing is, pressing the power button to turn it off again generally works immediately.
