Help with mcetool to avoid Nexus 5 death
 

Question:

Using mcetool, is it possible to make Sailfish ignore the power button? Short press and long press.
The only issue I see is the very long press used to reboot the device when stuck/freezed.

Explanation:

I need some help to keep my nexus 5 alive. I already had the power button replaced one year ago, which was causing a boot loop. Since that day I rarely used that button, using instead the volume key to lock/unlock the screen. Combined with the sneak peek/LPM and double tap to unlock everything works quite well now.

Unfortunately it seems it is a crappy button, because now it starts to have the same problem without having used it much. Before it goes in a boot loop I would like to do something software wise, since the repair stores are closed and I don't have the tools to do it on my own.

Thanks to everyone in advance!
