HTC Salsa Power button not working - HTC Salsa

Hi All,
I have HTC salsa, few months its Power button stop working on gentle press and now its totaly gone.
And if I left my phn switched off after 20 24 hrs. its starts automatically..if I remove its battery and re insert it, phone starts automatically.
I go to service center but he said that button is connected to mother board thus whole mother board will be replaced and it will cost some 90 $.
So is there anyone who can help me or faced any such issue?
one more consiquence of this problem is that if my phone's gone in sleep mode then its ring become active and the only way to get the screen is either I have to call on ,y number or plug in the charger.
So is there any app which can disble that ring.
Phone is running on Original rom nothing special treatment is provided to it and I cant do anything on it as I dont have PC connectivity for that mobile.
Please help me.
Thanks

Press the red button while holding down both Volume Keys until the white screen appears and follow the prompts. You will lose all of your data.

[Q] a strange problem with power button, PLS HELP!!!

Hi everyone,,
I hope I can tell my problem properly with my poor language!:crying:
my device got a problem in response of the power button, sometimes it does not work and I did use the volume buttons to wake up the screen instead of it!
then one time the device fall down from my hand and the battery pulled out so the phone turned off. I tried to switch it ON but no way because the button became totally not working
I tried every way to make it ON, I unscrewed the devise and I check that the button was not damaged and every thing looks fine.
I tried to use some ways that are mentioned in youtube like unplugging the battery several times and so on.. but still not working.
I took the phone to a service shop in my town and they made an electrical check for the button and it was working well electrically! but they could not doing more with the phone because they don't have spare parts for HTC devices!
after that I expected that this issue is a software problem, because I installed a custom rom recently!
finally I succeeded to make it ON using ADB commands and I changed the rom 2 times, but the power button still not working, then I changed the Kernel, and the problem remains :crying::crying::crying::crying:
so, do you advice me to try anything else?
Please heeeeeeeeelp
i have the same problem
i have the same problem here and i use cmd to reboot :'( but i have a big problem my mobiles keeps on shutting down alone and i restart it by adb but if i am out of home what can i do ? anyune help us
Instal script manager and write a script to do it.
And if you using custom rom write to the author mayby he will change a vendor key for you.

I was written what you need to make you life easier if you have power button broken. If you have shutdown problem write to developer of rom you're using. Or change it.

[Q] Power Button Not working. Plz help

Okay so my power button just randomly stopped working after some random time. it doesnt work ANYWHERE. to lock my screen, to unlcok my screen, in recovery mode i cant press anything cuase it doesnt WORK. i no its a hardware issue becuase of this. i did google this but found nothing. what can i do to fix it.
i tried a battery pull and putting it back and going to recovery to factory reset but as soon as i put my battery in my phone starts up. i can enter recovery but the power button doesnt work so i cant press anything.
my warranty is over by a long shot ( had it since it released) so cant return it.
any help would be appreciated. all i need is a way to turn my phone on and off nothing about the recovery and stuff. but if you do find someting for it that would be even more amazing.
and has this happened to anyone else, just wondering is all if this is common or rare.
thnx in advance.
it has happened to many captivates. search 'captivate power button' on xda.
What ROM are you running on your phone?
Answer to that question has a lot to do with your next steps for software workaround.
One approach; you could read up on ways to clean the power button and see if that works. Or send it off to mobiletechvideos.com and he will fix it for a reasonable fee.

i am running Aocp 5 android 4.2.1
hve been running it for a few weeks now and no problem till now
Okay, start by seeing if you can clean the power button, that may fix it for now. Again, search 'captivate power button' to find some threads about ways to clean it.
With the ROM you are running, I believe you have a version of CWM that allows to use the Cappy's dedicated menu keys, menu, home, back and search, to navigate and select recovery items.
Assuming your power key is stuck on, remove the battery, hold the up and down volume buttons and reinsert the battery to get into recovery. This will allow you to test keys, wipe, and any other function in CWM.
With the phone on and fully booted into JB, go find volume rocker wake in the system setting options and make sure it is active. Hitting the up/down key will wake the screen when it sleeps. Add the sleep/lock toggle to your notification bar menu and you have a way to instantly lock the screen without the power key.
If you still have a bad power button stuck in on position, then you will need to take out the battery to turn it off.
Hope this helps.

Thnx for the help but Which button does what?
Menu = Down. Home = Up. Back arrow = Back. Search = Select.

This is happening because your power button is stuck in the on position. Did you try to clean it as suggested earlier.
BWolf56, I'm not aware of an app or ROM that completely prevents power up on insertion of battery when the power button is stuck on. If there is such an app, I'd like to hear about it. I think maybe the power switch goes to the broadcom power management chip, so I don't understand how the app could work unless the phone never came on at all. SOD symptoms would be the result.

Oh that would be impossible, the OS isn't loaded so even less the apps
I was suggesting a app to turn off the phone/lock screen. There are widgets for that in the market.

I had a very similar problem with my Epic 4G Touch (Sprint S2) - my phone would randomly reboot, and it kept getting worse and worse. Thought it was the ROM, the overclock, etc. I flashed back to (almost) stock, went back to original clock speeds. Eventually, I noticed that even brushing past the power button would wake the screen, and about 10 seconds later the phone would reboot.
Long story short, I bought a replacement power switch, soldered it in place, and have had zero problems since!
Several eBay sellers offer the switch you'll need.
(They don't include the skills needed to solder it in place. It's a tiny switch - about 4mm x 2mm x 1.5mm, and you'll need a good quality fine-tipped soldering iron and a steady hand. Do you have a friend who's good at soldering?)

well thanks for the reply, but i dont need it anymore. my friend conveniently had a GNex (old) and gave it to me as a present. so i dont use my captivate that much anymore.

we should admit that our fb0 is nearing its 3years.. its too long for a smartphone so far it has done well
with physical components like powerbutton and volume button wear/tear is common. my suggestion is that you should visit customer care. no other option.

I guess you should call HTC and get a quote for the fix. I don't think there is another way to turn it back on.
is there no other way like to a computer.

I allready did that but thx and it didnt work. I also open the back cover for im desprate cause i thought maybe i can press the power button better this way but also that didnt work. I saw something in youtube but it was for the galaxy s2 and the you use a (JIG) to automatic booting the phone and also there was a way to flash the phone and that way it automatic turn on. My question is there something like a jig or a flash software that can do that for the htc one

last idea I got: old cyanogenmods booted the phone when an usb was plugged in (when usb debug was on)
Try holding the power button with the phone directly under a lamp until it boots. Sounds weird but it worked for me. I remember reading that somewhere...

it's pretty difficult to install anything on a phone that's turned off
thx everyone but it still doesnt work. And HTC indonesia dont want to take it back for repairs must send it to Holland. I know one thing i will never buy a htc anymore couple years ago i bought also a htc (desire) and that problem was it keep heating up and rebooting. With this one i got problems with the cam on low lights and then came the power button problem.
