Where do I get a new power button?
Not the part you push in the bezzel but inside the phone.
It was all moshy and soft and didnt work here one day so I opened it to discover that its craked .
So untik I get my hand on a new one I have to use a small screwdriver to short ths metal connectors to turn it on and off .
As I suspect this is warranty and will onky replave the swith with a new one and not replace the device for a new one I wont send it in hence it takes 3/5 weeks where I live.
Happy new year.

ok so i dropped my fone and the power button broke and fell into my fone. has anyone had this problem and im wondering if there is a way i can turn it on with maybe some program in windows while my fone is synced up. thx alot
Did the power button break in pieces or just slip into the housing? you can probably buy a new button. Go to You Tube they have a HOW TO change your broken LCD screen. it shows you how to open your housing.
thx for the reply i actually took it apart and not only did the button break off, but it broke the power switch off the motherboard so its dead now o well..
Bummer,m are you a T Mobile customer? Did you have insurance?
if it was broken off cleanly, and didnt damage the trace or the switch I can fix it for ya. Just pay postage to and from
Turns out I was gonna move my wireless charger to another desk I bought , and I knew that you have to hold it slowly on one of the corners and start pulling it , I already did it once, a couple of days after I bought it but this time it was GLUED to the table, no matter how I did it it wouldn't come off, so in the end I had to apply more force and bam , the sticky band broke :/ it was GLUED to the table, so what can I do know? I have a hard time believing they will replace my charger, they will say I broke like a crazy animal, maybe I can replace the sticky part myself or send it it to google , maybe they can fix it?
Has any of you had a similar experience? :crying:
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Yesterday, power button has stopped to work. Nothing was happened when I pushed it.
I tried to open the device (my mistake ) and I tried to see if there was a problem. By opening device, I have accidentally ripped the power button component. So, now it's not connected to the nappe.
Logically, it's impossible to start device now without that connection between power button and nappe.
My problem is that the internal storage of my device contains a lot of photos that I would like to save.
Do you know if there is a way to get these photos ?
Thanks by advance for your help.

boot
i had that problem with another phone....which had a work around
but you may not like it.
1. you may be able mess with the pins in micro usb to get it to "trick" itsleslf on (idk if itll work for this phone, dont really wanna risk frying the phone too)
2. buy a new ribbon online. i took mine apart to paint it . and luckily this phone has a ribbon that slides and locks onto the board instead of soldered on
3.idk what bootloader you have but yours may have an option to take the battery out. *button press comb.* then you can get into download mode(which wont help) but could bring you into the bootloader....unlocked of course.
otherwise....
~*option 2*~ is the best course to take...and they are cheap

assembly
When I put mine back together. The sticky back to the buttons wouldn't hold to put it back together.
I used a razor....clean it up and scrapped the sticky back to some Velcro I had.
I would hope they send it with the ?double sided tape? Needed to hold it on.
Hello Guys,
the G4 of my girlfriend fell into the toilet (only water, nothing else ). This was 8 weeks ago, so i think, no more damage will come.
But: The Volume-Down button is not working good. I need to press it very hard to work. The Flexcable for the Buttons (with led and IR) costs 17 €. Can i just change it, or is it not possible?
I already changed the lcds of many phones and don't have two left hands
Thanks!
Hello, if it's under warranty you can try to make it repaired (for free?).
Anyway, it's really easy to replace the button switch/power. Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6B4HQUSev0
For the external/visible part, you can get another one and change the color of volume/camera border.
I think there is no warranty for water dmg.
Thanks for the link. I will buy me a new flex cable
Hi , my galaxy s3's power was lose and was working after applying much more pressure than required.
Now, when i pressed it yesterday , it was went inside and didn't came out , i had to manually bring it back outside.
The power broke itself in the pocket and now it's just empty space out there.
Can I get it fixed?
How much will it cost approximately
P.s : I am from India. So , any indian users,suggest me the approximate cost.
I have it repaired months ago for 5-6$ , don't worry. A little soldering work involves in repair, therefore i strongly recommend to have it repaired by a professional workshop.
