Power button loose/no response

| Hi, |
| The power button on my 27" 2011 iMac is loose/non-responsive. Since I do not feel any pressure from it (it can actually slide behind the casing a bit and get stuck there), it seems to be broken. I am looking in how to replace it. A lot of info on replacing the power supply, but nothing on the button itself. |
