Hi guys,
i cant switch on my phone at all. 3 combo button cant work too. my phones dead except for charging.
history of my phone:
replaced screen.
power button ribbon was damaged while replacing screen.
so i bought a new ribbon to solder it on.
i was using the phone without the power button while waiting for the power button ribbon to arrive.
one day my phone just went to a black screen and thats that. i cant even power on my phone now.
just soldered the power button ribbon back. still not working.
any help guys???
Just read this....CLICK ME
Maybe it can help identify whether there is something else wrong with your phone or if your power button is still not working
Also there was a thread i believe in Q&A a while back where someone had broken his/her power button. So try the search again... GL

Hello Guys,
My nexus one's power button doesn't work after using a body protector,when i wanted to push the power button i had to push it hard and after 1 month i took it off from my nexus,and i could use power button but i had noticed that it needs to be pushed hard,and now it is not working at all,unfortunately in my country there is no google service for nexus,but hTC does some services here,i think it's the flat thing of my power button because when i push the buttton it reacts(the Spring of button reacts)but i don't get any digital reactions.
Please help me and show me a Way!
If you get tactile feedback then the plastic button itself is intact. Therefore it sounds like a problem with either the logic board or the flex/power button connection. Unfortunately it's much cheaper and easier to replace the plastic power button than the logic board (Assuming HTC chooses to replace the whole logic board and not just that one connection). You can replace it yourself but it will Void your warranty and can be a little tricky.
Ive got the same problem, i also can't get mine fixed by HTC in my country. And ive taken it to a few places in the city who can't fix it.
Right now im relying on trackball wake to turn the screen on, and screen off and lock app to turn it off. and hope they work until i upgrade.
And if you do run out of battery and need to turn the phone back on, plug it into usb power, and pull the battery a couple of times until the yellow LED turns off, and the phone will boot.
Thanks guys i found someone who had a TOTTALY broken nexus one and he was selling it's spare parts,an i bought the whole logic board from him and it cost me 95$ but think it worth it ! Because in my country you can't buy your cellphone with your simcard contract and i bought my nexus one 750$ and if i decided to throw my nexus away i had to forget 750$!,also i found anotherway for fixing an i think it's cool for you guys to know,you can bridge the your power button's broken logic place and your main logic board with a wire and then you can use your power button like before!
Hi guys,
recently i just replaced my i9000 super amoled with a new screen. when i was replacing my screen, i accidentally damaged the power button ribbon on the mobo. so while waiting for my ribbon to ship over. i have been using small piece of metal to short the two pin in the mobo( which are the two pins power button ribbon is connected to) to switch on my phone. however, one day that method cant work anymore no matter how long short the pins together my phone wont switch on. im afraid i might damaged the power button controller chip as well.
and now my new power button ribbon is here. soldered it on. still doesnt work
any idea guys!? ((
anyone
As the title reads I am quite sure that the power button is broke in some way or another on my HTC Desire C. I believe this since the phone is off and I cannot start it up with the power button. The reason I think that it is the power button that is broken and not something else is that when I plug it into the charger the battery shows up on the screen as always and says its charging.
Now, I wont be able to have it in for service in a couple of months and I really need the phone right now.
I could probably live with a broken power button if I just got it to boot up, which is the big problem here! I have googled for answers and found some saying for example that to charge it while popping out/in the battery in different ways will make it automatically boot up but nothing seems to work.
Is there any way to power it up without using the power button?
(Probably a good thing to say that I am not using any kind of custom rom or whatever, everything is stock)
Would be really awesome if someone could help!

I have the same issue with my SXL and here is what I do ..
1. Use CWM Recovery (Search the forums) - it will switch on your phone on connecting it to with a charger/USB cable. This comes in handy if I remove the battery and since the power button does not work at all, I cannot power on the phone in any other way. Once I plug in my switched off SXL, CWM Recovery starts up the phone and I get to reboot it from Recovery.
2. USe a custom ROM (I would recommend CodeFireX from Anders if you like 4.2.2 or RunnyKitKat from Onejay for 4.4.2) and under settings get the volume to wake feature turned on. Now you can wake the phone screen using the volume buttons.
3. Get an app from the Play Store - "Reboot Menu widget", which becomes a soft menu button to reboot or shutdown, or take a screen shot or to simply close down the screen...
I couldn't get my power button fixed as the device was out of warranty and I did not want to spend the exorbitant prices these guys were asking. So that's what anyone with a broken power button can do.. Hope this helps

Hi
Power button and volume buttons are identical with buttons used for HD2.
HD2 buttons are attachable, there is 5 of them and they are very cheap.
Get them and find someone with soldering gun with thin tip (for smd) who could solder them for you.

Cool thanks for telling that, now i just got to find someone with an HD2 LOL.
90% of people i know have iphones, so thats going to be hard :fingers-crossed:
Search for some combination of these words on ebay and replace the main board. It's usually the little micro-switch that's gone so replacing the plastic button doesn't do anything.

Button is located (soldered) on the board and is covered with protective tape.
When broken usually only plastic body stays on board. Transparent cover (with black dot) and micro disk comes off and for that reason button does not work. Whole plastic button needs to be unsoldered and replaced.
I attached picture of HD2 buttons which you can buy i.e on ebay.
I did it twice (first time with volume then with power button) and it costs nothing.
Replacing whole board is quite expensive and unnecessary - in my opinion.
Hello,
My name is Adrian and i have a problem with my HTC One Mini.
Two weeks ago i dropped the phone on the ground and the part where the power button is situated broke so i had the "smartest" idea to stick it back with super glue. When i did that i managed to glue my power button at is now was not working so i thought that i should try and separate the button from the sensors and i kinda broke it worse, now i brooked the sensors it's torn and i cannot power up the phone. Since then i managed to keep my phone charged so it could not lock, so that i should have not been forced to use the power button but yesterday my battery drained out so now the phone is dead. I managed to charger it and now it's says 100% .. but the cable is not recognized by the PC and i am not able to perform the actions that i have read above "volume down + home + USB cable in", etc... What do you recommend me to do please?
Thank you in advance!
Please someone, can help me????? Thank you!
