Power Button on SE no longer functional. I was able to turn off Using Settings/ Accessibility/ Assistive Touch but when i press Power Button to try and power it back up it just goes into a Loop with the Apple screen going on and Off and never boots up. I think the frame is slightly bent around the power button.
Questa è una buona domanda?

If your lucky, it could just be the power button flex. You can find the repair guide here (I've linked the 5S guide as there is no SE guide - they are essentially the same) and the replacement flex here.
I'm a little bit concerned about the bend in the housing. That may have caused damage to the logic board. I would start by ordering the flex and install it without removing everything else. Just plug it in where the old one was. Then try the button to see if it works before removing all the guts. If the replacement flex doesn't solve the issue and has the same problem, then you likely have a logic board issue.

I had this issue, although without the frame bend. When I plugged in my phone to my laptop while it was boot looping, powered on fully so I was able to get a backup. Everything else on that flex cable were working (mute volume and flash). I got impatient while waiting for the battery to drain because I couldn't power it off otherwise so I unscrewed the bottom, disconnected the home button and unclipped the display. The power button still wasn't working, but I used it for a bit when suddenly the screen turned off then on again before showing the power of confirmation. Cancelling that and trying again, it still wasn't working, but I wiggled it a bit and it began working perfectly and has kept going, even now after I've got the screen back on (and taken it back off, reconnected the home button and put it back on). I don't know if my luck will hold, but it seems like it was just a bad connection on the cable that worked itself out with a bit of help.
