Home Button keeps clicking

I own a 4th generation iPod Touch and recently my home button decided to go mad.

It goes to the home screen and opens the task bar even if i'm not clicking it.
I try to listen to music and the Voice Control panel comes up.
When I press the button it goes all the way down and when I release it it comes all the way up again, nothing wrong with it.

I've put the assistive touch, but it's of no help.


Plus, it doesn't play music without the headphones anymore...


What can I do?


I already restored it and nothing happened.

iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 6.1
