Help! Loose and unresponsive home button!

My home button on my ipod 5 slowly got more and more stuck, until it stopped working all together. Now I find that it is loose (it moves up and down when flipped over) and it also doesn't work. I tried blowing into it, using rubbing alcohol, and using hot glue and a stick to bring it foreward. It is still not working and I'm pretty sure it has no guarantee on it anymore. Someone please help this is my prized possesion and I just want it fixed!

iPod touch, iOS 7.0.3, Ipod 5
