iPhone 5 power button unresponsive, no longer under warranty.

My iPhone 5 started losing responsiveness in the power button (sleep/wake button) about 6 months into owning it. I put off taking it to the Apple Store, as the closest Apple Store is 4 hours away. Now, after my warranty has expired, I have an unresponsive power (sleep/wake) button, and I don't know where to go from here. Is it possible to get it replaced for free as before? Or must I pay?

Also, can I manually fix it? I have taken apart all other itterations of the iPhone, and replaced parts. If I can fix it manually, what must I replace?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Alright, so since my device is out of warranty, the best choice for getting fixed by Apple is to pay $249 for a replacement?
