My mate has been having issues over the past month or two powering on. It seems very temperamental. Now it won't power on at all. The phone does display the battery status when plugging it in though. I was thinking that it was probably the ribbon cable for the power button. I cannot enter recovery or anything. It seems the power button is just totally unresponsive. What do you think?

yes, as I said, power button is totally unresponsive. No worky
Well, I'm a noob myself.
I had a lot of trouble getting things done in windows xp, I think the drivers for the mate were troublesome all the time. Also, changing usb port and cable made a big difference.
But I found out that in linux things worked a lot easier. I now only use xp for rooting the mate, all other stuff I do on linux.
In the process of installing custom roms on my last two phones I found that you have to keep trying to find another way to get where you want, which is why I asked about what you have tried.
But is could very well be a hardware problem, in which case repair could be the only option.
If you are up for a bit of linux expolartion, you can install ubuntu on a usb stick and run it of of that, without installing it on a pc.
Use a 4 gb one and make sure that you alocate space to save stuff on the stick. Install adb and fastboot from the software center and I think you would be able to use adb and fastboot without the troublesome phone drivers for the mate.

Oops, my bad.
Well if its a hardware issue, its better to send it to SC.
It might be because of the buttons carbon thats getting thinner from usage.
I hapoen to hv a friend with the same problem and sending it to SC will solve it.
Without power button fully functional, it will be hard to do many things..

Remove the memory card then press and hold the volume up and insert the memory. Release the volume up when you see some light on screen.

if it's QHSUSB_DLOAD
then it's Dead Jim! and needs replacing
Have you tried holding power button for 10 seconds. I believe that way you can soft reset the phone. Check google, for the key combination for a hard reset as well. I believe it was volume up and the power button but I am not sure.
If these dont work, than you may need to go to service center.

DO NOT TRY THIS! Power button + Volume UP LEADS TO HARD BRICK
I cannot confirm as it has not happened to me but others have experienced and there is a thread dedicated to it.

I can confirm this. I bricked my phone this way (power button+ volume up) when I tried to get into bootloader mode.
Source: my own experience
If you get QHSUSB_DLOAD when you connect your phone with your pc, I believe its a deadly brick.

So I did a Root 101 No No... In a sleepy state I decided to flash my T-Mo galaxy S2 without doing a system wipe..... smh...smh. As a result I brick my phone. However, in a way I've never seen before. Is there anyone out there that can help???
Here the problem:
Phone does not turn on. (No sound, nothing on the screen)
Phone does not respond to 3 button press. (No vibrate and can't get into clockwork)
Phone does not connect to usb port. (it contently connects and disconnect)
As you can see this is a BIG problem and its left me stump. Before I declare this phone as a shiny paper weight I leave my hope in you guys.
Thanks for the help
What is the three button press? To get into recovery I hold power and volume down. Also check if you're in a boot loop
Edit: also what ROM did you flash

I meant the volume and power buttons. I don't think I'm in a loop because the phone give me no type of feedback. no light, sounds or vibration. When connected to power outlet there's no change. took out the battery for about an hour, no change. used a different usb cable, tried to load into Odin. Nothing.
The only thing the phone does to show that something is going on is when I plug it into my pc. At that point it shows a device has been connected but then disconnect right away. It keeps doing that as long as the phone is connected to the pc.
Also I was coming from CM 10.0.0 to aokp_d2tmo_jb-mr1_build-4

Probsbly you are trying to get in recovery mode in proper way, just to confirm, first you have to press vol low and up button, keep holding it and then press power button. few sec later it will vibrate, release power button but keep holding vol up/down. Samsung logo will come and then it'll enter in recovery mode.
Just wanted to make sure as sometime people get hard time to get screen shot by pressing keys.
so i accidentally went into download mode and had no clue how to get out of it, so i just left it. AFTER ABOUT A DAY, THE BATTERY RAN OUT AND DOWNLOAD MODE STOPPED. I THEN PLUGGED THE CHARGER IN AND TO MY SURPRISE IT BOOTED LIKE A NORMAL TABLET.

Yes, that strategy works, but it is not good for the battery. No battery should ever be discharged 100%. Even modern batteries could have issues when completely discharged. Batteries that are completely discharged could leak and cause damage to your device.
If you get stuck in download mode and cannot get out, then try and find out WHY you cannot get out. Something went terribly wrong like possibly the application is not compatible with your device.

Yes...I too accidently went into download mode and I discovered that long pressing the power button worked. I think holding volumn up plus power button will help as well. Or plug up to computer and run recovery using odin.

Really strange - got out from download mode several times by just holding power button for >10 sec.
I am not rooted, no custom rom installed. I was just using FACEBOOK and my phone's screen went black but my music was still playing in the background then all of a sudden it vibrated and turned off. Now it won't turn on again! it had 95% batter so I have no idea what the hell happened. It does not respond on my charger, does not turn on or vibrate. I plugged it on my PC and it only shows "MOOREFIELD NO DRIVERS AVAILABLE" help me

If you get no response at all pushing power while holding volume up it sounds to me like it is warranty return time, is there a service center near you?

I can't phone won't respond to volume up + power button it won't do anything. It crapped itself while I was on Facebook. The only thing I can do now is plug it on my PC with the "MOOREFIELD NO DRIVER DETECTED" on my monitor screen.
I am disappointed with the quality with ASUS. I like their PC parts but their smartphones now are utter rubbish. My god
1.Turn off your Zenfone 2
2.Hold Power button + Volume up
3.When the phone is vibrating release power button
4.You can select Normal Boot or recovery Boot by pressingVolume up/volume down. To enter recovery choose recovery mode
5.Then You will see sleep android robot, Press Power button + Volume down, release only volume down button and press volume up button. You'll enter recovery mode
6. Select wipe cache partition by volume down button and press power button
7. It'll take some time
8. Then select system reboot

yes and when I do I will sell it and go back to Samsung. This is my second replacement... the failure rate of ASUS phones are unbelievable.
So my power button hasnt been working for some time and i cant boot up. It wasn't that big of a problem for some time since i managed to double tap to wake and to put it on a charger and it would boot up after going over 5%. I've just installed a new ROM and it won't boot up its at 25%. Is there a way to boot it up somehow using a pc or something? I have usb debugging enabled and tried starting it up using adb but it doesn't recognize the phone.
When phone is turned off, hold volume up to go to download mode, then press volume down to abort it, he should reset and turn on then.
Or connect cable with volume - pressed to enter download mode.
If your power button is not working, try removing it, cleaning the dust, repairing it, if necressary, it will be easier to boot that way.
PS: If you try it, make a video, or photos, cause you need everything in its place.

In all seriousness though
I'm not sure if the power button is yourissue, you need to make your post a little clearer
My phone has a wearing button, so every time I press it it doesn't always work
You are saying your phone isn't recognized? Did it work before? Did this start happening recently?
I don't think your issue is power button related.
make sure USB debugging is turned on in developer options. That is necessary for adb to connect to device. Try that before the battery....your device should be listed when u type adb devices with USB debugging on. If not what does it list?
It sounds more like the battery. If the phone keeps looping and takes time to sit on charger to power up and battery percentages seem off......then you need to get a replacement battery. I suggest getting an extended battery, there are a lot of knockoff LG batteries online. I've bought one myself and yes its almost identical...but the ink is faded and the top plastic is slightly different. It just did the same thing you are describing
Powerbear, zerolemon are good. You get what u pay for.
Tip: heavier the battery the better quality it is. Your replacement battery should weigh same as the one you currently have if your going to get the LG one
