Why does my Samsung Galaxy S6 screen keep turning on every time I try to lock it?

[AC Question]

Samsung Galaxy S6 screen keeps turning on every time I try to lock it.

Every the lock button is pressed the screen turns back on by itself after a few seconds. The same thing happens when the phone is left to timeout. This started occurring after I left my phone to charge overnight and it hasn't stopped since. I've tried running it in safe mode, but the problem still occurs. I have also tried factory resetting, clearing cache, and a simple restart. Does anyone know the solution to this?

A faulty power switch under the power button perhaps.

What power switch?

Under the Power button, there is a power switch. That one.

Is it on the left or the right of the power button?

No no, I mean 'under' in the sense that the Power button itself presses on a switch beneath it, which would normally only be accessible by a repairer. It may be that the switch has become faulty.
I'm sorry for any confusion.
