HP Pavilion power button

[Tredmon]

The Power button on my laptop is not working properly. I push the button and the light blinks then goes out and nothing happens. I noticed this yesterday and I finally got it work after many tries of holding the button down, leaving it alone for a few minutes then just abrubptly pushing the button once. Today I am having the same problems. 

Again, It it finally works after I try all of those things then leave it alone for 10 minutes, but I don’t understand why it is giving me problems. Maybe my power button is going out? 

I don’t know if this has to do with it, but my computer only charges when it is shut off. This issue happened about 3 weeks ago. The laptop is only 2 years old and I have already had to send it in once last year for hard drive issues.
