Switch Lite will turn on but power button is unresponsive

Hello!
I’ve tried to research my issue but have had no success.
I bought a switch lite listed as “does not turn on”. Opened it up and discovered corrosion damage. After a gentle scrub of all the components it turns on! However, the power button will not work. The volume buttons work, but not the power.
* I bought a new ribbon cable - same issue, volume works, not power
* I swapped the motherboard with a working switch with working power button, same new ribbon cable - same issue
* Swapped physical power button and the membrane with a known “working” lite - same issue
+
The ***only*** thing I can think of is a warped shell that’s not allowing proper contact with the ribbon cable. What are your thoughts? I’m stumped. Especially with the motherboard swap.
