Power button fell out. Help!

I was disassembling my phone to change my audio jack and while taking out the frame, the plastic power button completely popped out (my fault, I know what I did wrong). So I tried pressing the actual flex cable to turn on the phone and that didn't even work, so I'm assuming I need to buy a new flex cable. Also how do I put the physical power button back in the phone? I can't find a way to make it stick.
Someone help, I really am lost

Anyone?

This may help:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (T889) Power Flex Installation Video.

That helps some, thanks!
But I also cant figure out how to put the power button itself back on onto the middle housing, or do I have to buy a new housing now?

i think you might need to remove the chrome frame and put the power button back the way it was or you can take a look at volume button on the other side seeing how it attached to the frame and also try to use super glue. btw does the power button work?

I never thought about comparing it to the volume side, good idea. And the power button doesn't work so I definitely need a new flex cable

if the power button doesnt work for now, you can use touchwake function in trickster if you have it in your rom

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?

Anyone have same problem or have any idea how I can solve it?

Hi,
I think it definitely bad connection between screen and motherboard:
badly installed (I mean someone who installed touched touchscreen connecting pins with fingers) ... or ... oxide on touchscreen connecting pins ... or ... possible water damaged used screen (seen one analog case).

It's any possibility to repair connection if screen it's OK?

Anyone know smoething about two types screens in G3?
It's similiar to that problem :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI64Bcf8OiE
which it's solved by: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52414185&postcount=122
Maybe changing kernel/soft will solve problem?

Hi,
Actually about software side I dont believe. I hope this used one was exactly same, what you had before. If I remember right, then LG didnt made different screens for G3 different models.
I remember that G2 had many problems with white lines after drop or screen change. Fix was easy, to add metal tape at display connector to antenna. To understand better about what ia talk you must read this link.
Anyway, I sill think your problem is hardware problem if on start it works normally.

In g3 it's any chance to solve that with metal tape? In g3 motherboard it's different so maybe tape can't help. Tomorrow I'll try one more time check lcd plug.

Need advice, change screen or ditch the phone?

Hey guys. I bought my Z5P on dec 23. It had a broken screen, i replaced the screen early in January and everything was great.
Then in early February the screen would get vertical lines at times, suddenly appearing then randomly disappear after 10 seconds all the way up to 8 hours later. The screen would randomly become quite warm/hot a couple of millimeters above the on screen buttons, aswell as heat up the entire phone randomly while in standby for some reason.
On Feb. 10 the lines came to stay, they are now constantly there in darker images as well as constantly sometimes in all scenarios. The 3.5mm port is also buggy and don't work if i move (I know about the software issue, this is hardware related).
So, i'm faced with exchanging the screen again for 60-70$ or change screen and frame in one for 90$ as well as the 3.5mm. Should i just throw in a new screen or will the problems likely reappear?
I did the previous swap myself, and cant find anything wrong with the install. The screen may sit a tad bit deeper in the frame now, the plastic edges rise above the screen on both sides. Screen appears to be OEM, same quality as original in all aspects until it failed. The phone has obviously been tampered with before i bought it, its missing 1 plastic cover over the charging port so i propped that up with a plastic piece as well.
Anyone with any experience with these kinds of problems on this or other Sony phones would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

For some reason i clicked the wrong button on log in and posted with my google user.
Here is a image showing my problem on a different phone.

since you bought it with broken screen, the scientific question for you to be asked back then was
1. how did it got broken? dropped from height ? heavy object dropped on it.... in either case....
2. what else may have had got damaged inside?
My sister had SAMSUNG s4 and she dropped it , it hit on the floor and lines/bar started appearing after a while! later the screen went blank... we replaced the screen and it worked only few hours and went blank again! ,,, finally the technician told us that processor or graphic chip may also got damaged or affected so replacing chip is not possible unless you change the mother board! (which will cost $400 with labour charges )
long story short! we gave up on that phone! when the market is saturated with variety of good hardware on competitive prices...

Questions for somebody who has already opened a Nexus 5X (or similar) before

Hello. Some weeks ago I sent my Nexus 5X to the technical assistance with the problem I described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/brick-apparently-reason-t3680715. Now they told me that they won't repair it under warranty because they found traces of liquid/oxide inside it, so they are sending it back to me unfixed. Now I find this odd because the only encounters it has made with water were in the form of small quantities dropped on the screen (the amount you can drop by moving a glass in the air too quickly) which I dried immediately and the symptoms seemed to point to a bad contact. Anyway the repair center provided an image in which seems that actually some liquid has made it inside the case, but I can't recognize which part of the phone it is. Here's the image:

}
So the questions are: which is the part in the photo? Do you have an idea about how could have a liquid made it inside the phone (I think that is unlikely that it was by dropping something on the screen)? Do you think that the problem I experienced is compatible with a water-induced short circuit or any other damage by liquid?
Thanks in advance for your answers and explanations

I actually thought that was a picture of the shipping box before I read your post. I took mine apart to where I could pull the motherboard off, and there definitely wasn't blue tape holding something down. The only thing I can think of is that is maybe the back of the screen. Which would be after pulling the metal frame off.
Check out these pictures. If you go all the way toward the end steps, you can see you get all the way until there is mostly the metal frame inside the plastic and stuck to the back of the display without seeing anything that looks like your picture.
Their picture honestly seems to be an entirely different phone. But of course they may have changed assembly and parts at some point. I would take it apart when you get it back, take pictures and if nothing looks like the picture they sent, see if you can appeal or whatever. Maybe you can just point to the 3rd party teardowns and ask them to point out where they claim the picture is from.

I think it's under the battery, the blue part looks like the battery adhesive but it's normally black,
It was was to get behind there it would of had to enter via the simcard
