I have tried to return the card and tried to resolder the pi to the board but none of them worked

Re: My start button is not working
Do you have continuity from the GPIO to the start pad on the button PCB?

Re: My start button is not working
Does the start button work when you have the PCB out of the tin and while you have continuity?

Re: My start button is not working
Awesome! So here's what's going on, you have a poor solder connection from the Pi to the button PCB. When you screw everything down the PCB and the Pi flex, which breaks your connection. Reflow the solder in the GPIO and that should resolve your issue.
Post back with your results!
