Perhaps that is actually what is happening. I’m not saying you are pressing the button, but that there’s some sort of problem with the button that is making it turn on by itself. I had this problem with a tv remotes one time, caused it turned out by getting peanut butter on the key.

Oh, oh … Getting hungry for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich … lol …
