Power button not working

Hi,

it seems my power button isn't working. I found someone had a similar problem a while ago here:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=209251

I used evtest and it similarly finds two power buttons:

/dev/input/event0:	Power Button
/dev/input/event1:	Sleep Button
/dev/input/event10:	ELAN0515:00 04F3:3142 Mouse
/dev/input/event11:	ELAN0515:00 04F3:3142 Touchpad
/dev/input/event12:	HD User Facing: HD User Facing
/dev/input/event13:	HD-Audio Generic HDMI/DP,pcm=3
/dev/input/event14:	Acer WMI hotkeys
/dev/input/event15:	HD-Audio Generic Front Headphone
/dev/input/event2:	Lid Switch
/dev/input/event3:	Power Button
/dev/input/event4:	AT Translated Set 2 keyboard
/dev/input/event5:	Kensington Expert Wireless TB Mouse
/dev/input/event6:	Kensington Expert Wireless TB Consumer Control
/dev/input/event7:	Acer Wireless Radio Control
/dev/input/event8:	Video Bus
/dev/input/event9:	PC Speaker

but when I run

sudo od -x /dev/input/event0

or

sudo od -x /dev/input/event3

and press the power button, it shows no reaction. Any ideas?
