These should help narrow it down

Sounds like a bad connection somewhere, probably going to be a royal pain to find.

RIBBON CABLE CLEANING
Unplug the unit
Open it up
Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board.
Clean the edge connector.
If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive.
Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here.
Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates.
Reconnect everything and give it a try.

I have done all of that using contact cleaner and the pencil eraser but later I swapped the power switch with another cycle one and it has worked so far
what bogels the mind is that power comes into a normaly closed switch yet by pressing it the unit turns on

Do not know what power switch you are referring to so cannot comment.

I guess don't argue with success applies!!!
