The power button on my DSC-P150 has become VERY!!! sensitive. Is there a fix for this?

It is now turning on even when within the case. I am keeping it in 'PC download' mode so that the lens doesn't try to open. I am hoping that there is a software upgrade.

To me it sounds like the button gets stuck and short circuited.

If it is my camera, I would remove the batteries, put a tiny drop of alcohol at the edge of the button, let it seep inside and turn the camera upside down to prevent excess alcohol from getting into the camera body.

Wait for a few seconds and press the shutter a few times until it is loose. After that wipe dry the alcohol or use a tiny vacuum cleaner, used for computer repair, to suck out any traces of alcohol.

I am not sure whether you want to try because any mistake means excess alcohol will seep into the camera body and this will do more harm than good for the camera.

I had the same problem at one time. I think water got into the bottom of the camera through the usb connector. I had set it down in the snow to get a shot. After the camera dried out, it went back to normal operating.
