[Q] Power button stuck pushed in

I was using my Galaxy today and I pressed the power button to unlock it and it got stuck pushed in. The phone is now stuck in a boot loop because the power button is "pressed". I'm under warranty with T-Mobile, but I have sensitive information on the phone, which I'd really like to remove off this phone, as well as put it onto my new phone.
Is there a way to unstick the power button? Or maybe a way to get the data off the phone somehow?
Any help is appreciated - thanks.

I just tore the whole thing down, nothing can be done for the button. Damn it.

did u try the toothpick trick? also remove the battery and SD card use a cotton swab soaked with isopropl alcohol on drip it right into the power button while its torn apart and press like crazy

Haven't tried the toothpick trick - what is it?
I'll go buy some at CVS tonight and try it.

I tore it apart and fiddled with the power button a little bit, I'm 100% sure that the spring on it is dead, as it just wobbled around and moved in and out freely without resistance, but there was no click to it when I pressed it. No gunk on it or anything. Here's a picture.

Pretty sure this is the part you are looking for.
If so, this is fairly inexpensive and ships from the U.S.
Here is the link
(unless of course, someone has one they will send you for free)

Cannot even locate that part on google 50H10210-02M-XF forget on ebay or any other site only other looks same as is verizon m7 daughter board

I would suggest trying to find a verizon m7 on ebay with a cracked screen and extracting the part. The sister board with the cdma antenna is just not for sale anywhere. I needed that part as well and found a very damaged htc one on ebay for 85.00 bucks the internal parts were all good. I wound up making my m7 red.

Teardown Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 SM-T705

I just couldn't stand to do that.
Still, the official purpose is one too long pin (marked with red on last photo), which deforming the back housing cover.
Has got to cut it down a bit.

Thanks for it.

Just to make sure; so you dont separate the white back cover between the from the bronze and the cover but between the bronze rim and the glass front?

OP, did you cut the long pin? Also, was it easy to pull off the screen from the back cover? I may try this because there seems to be a slight bump coming up from my T700.

It looks to me like the usb port is a separate module which is good news. In the past i've had to repair these by desoldering and replacing, which is not any easy task due to their minute size.

Hi, I've got some questions. Not precisely about the deformation, though. Hope its not an issue.
I've got this issue. Battery draining even while the tablet has been turned off (completely off - turned off via the software button that comes up via long press on the power button).
Amongst other things, I suspect that the power drain has something to do with the antenna's on the back cover. Anyone know what those antennas are for? They say stuff like LTE and WiFi however, I've taken off the back cover and its still connecting to mobile data and wifi etc. So these may be extra antenna's etc.

bluetooth and gps need antennas as well though some can share.

Hi the little white cord above the camera is missing from my tab. What is it?

Phone not booting after replacing rear camera and SD card reader.

I'm still not sure how it happened, but I somehow managed to crack my camera. Not just the lense like everyone else due to heat issues, but the actual camera.
So I figured I'd replace it myself instead of paying someone 100$+ to do it, and then have them charge me double for the part.
I made a pretty bad screw up the first time and broke the cable going to the power/volume buttons when initially opening the casing, and didnt realize until after I had replaced the camera.
I just got the new SD card reader/button cable in yesterday, and finished replacing it about 5 minutes ago. But the phone still will not boot.
I double checked all of the flex cables/signal cables to be 100% sure everything is plugged in properly, and not broken.
All of the flex cable protectors are back in place etc., but it just won't boot. the charge indicator won't even turn on when I plug it in.
I followed the video shown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RRJAHbnYmQ to take it apart initially, then followed it backwards to be 100% sure I wouldn't miss anything when putting it back together.
The only thought I have, is that Im having issues getting the case to snap back together completely.
That's when I noticed the pieces shown in the pictures below.

This is my first time actually working on a phone, but from what I assume, they look like some kind of spring based switches that will sever very important connections if the phone isn't completely put back together, with the case holding these raised parts down to complete a circuit.
I'm not sure if that's my problem, or if I somehow managed to screw up something a lot more important.
Can anyone at all shed some light on this?
Edit: Another thought just occurred, would I be able to use my UH-OH protection for this, even though technically speaking I'm the one that caused it to become completely non functional by opening it and attempting repairs on my own? Should I drop the thing in a bucket of water for a while first to claim UH-OH?

Broken Internal Power Button

I had problems with my SM-T800 whereas it would keep restarting all the time. *I took off the back cover to check the battery connections. * They were fine so I but the cover back on. * In doing so I must have damaged the Power button/connector (internally). * *I now cannot turn it on.
Does anybody know where I can purchase a Power button internal Flex cable? * I have googled it but cannot find anything. **
Thanks for any help you can provide.

That power button can't have any more than 3 terminals, so if the ribbon is damaged it should be easy to find the break. If not by eye with a multimeter.
I should think an easy repair with a thin piece of wire to bridge the break.

You cant. it is integrated with the speaker, if you want to change it you need to buy another left speaker. for exemple: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Samsung...192703?hash=item35f6b2ffbf:g:mG4AAOSwnH1WX2~m

I see, at least you've answered the question.

Thanks for the help!. I was looking for the wrong thing as I thought the power and volume board was separate from the speaker. I have ordered the replacement on ebay.
