Hi,
My power button still works but it has lost its "click", so when I press it there's no indication if its been pressed or not.
Of course the screen comes on/off if I press it hard enough, but the button itself seems faulty.
I've had the phone since launch. Is there a way to open it and replace the power button? The volume buttons are fine.
Thanks

Basically, my power button is screwed. It is constantly held down, so I cannot lock/unlock my phone and everything else you use the button for. I realised the other day that I don't press the optical sense button down...at all. So I wonder, is it possible to turn that button into my power button? and just disable the power button all together.
My htc desire is just over 2 years old. Out of warranty. Have not rooted or done anything else, just running the standard software.
A couple of months ago it got damp inside the pocket of my jacket. After turning it on it went to the hboot screen (the one where I can choose the options Fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock.) I dried the phone out and tried turning it on again.
Since then, whenever I have turned on my phone, it has had about a 50% chance of going to the hboot screen. Sometimes this screen would be unresponsive (ie. pressing the volume up/down buttons didn't do anything.) Sometimes I would be able to use the buttons to navigate around.
With a varied amount of removing the battery and mashing on the volume up/down buttons and power button when starting up the phone I could get it to start up. I think my success was related to half holding down volume up, so as to release the volume down button, and press power at the same time, but I'm not sure. This would sometimes happen after a couple of tries, but sometimes would take much longer, maybe half an hour of mashing.
Occasionally when running the phone would turn the volume all the way down to mute (as though the volume down button was being held, although I wasn't pressing anything.) Sometimes it would crash.
I took this to mean that my volume down button was busted, but things worked "ok" most of the time.
Today my phone will not respond to any amount of mushing the volume keys. I leapt into the deep end and disassembled my phone. I've pulled apart the volume button, removed the sticky black plastic that covers the circuitry of the button, removed the two small circular metal bits, removed the metal bar that is about 3cm long (1.5 in) and now the volume button is reduced to just a little bit plastic with copper bits printed on both sides.
I had hoped that this would be enough to completely disable my volume buttons and all would be well. Unfortunately... when I start the phone I am still at an unresponsive hboot screen
Does anyone have any advice that could help me? I could get the scissors out and start cutting stuff off but that seems like it would be unlikely to work...
Thanks in advance.
Wait...so you disabled the volume buttons, and you expect hboot to be responsive?
They were the only way to navigate through hboot.
What do you mean by "unresponsive"? Does the power button do something when pressing it?

Regularly, to get to hboot you hold volume down and the power button. My volume down button was permanently held down (I think,) so I hoped that by removing the volume buttons it would start normally.
By unresponsive I mean it goes to hboot but pressing the power button does nothing when I am there (ie. it doesn't select the highlighted option (fastboot))
How do you take a screenshot? I'm using a stock rom.
Hold power button and volume down at the same time
Or
Press and hold power button and then press the home button. This one is harder though because if you don't time it right you turn your screen off or make the power off menu pop up

The first method didn't work. Just makes the volume go down.
The second worked great!
You have to press them at pretty much the same time. If you press the power button first for like a millisecond too long and then press the volume down button the volume will go down. Neither option is my favorite, but they get the job done
Does anyone know how to force power down of the phone?
My phone is faulty and i need to mail it back to the seller. I cant use the screen but i need to turn it off before sending.
Pressing the power and volume down resets the phone, but does anyone know how to turn it off only?
Hold power + volume down to force the reboot, when the screen goes black keep the power button pressed and switch to volume up. This will reboot to the bootloader. Use the volume keys to navigate to power down and press the power button to confirm.
That should do it and all via physical buttons.
Hi Friends...:crying:
My Xperia Z1c Phone was good but dont know what happen to it "Power button Stopped Working" all of a sudden.
Phone Problem are:
1) Power Button Not Working
2) Power button function shifted to Volume up key
3) whenever i press volume up key.. volume increases but at the same time power button function activates...i mean it asks for power off, restart,profiles,screenshot... just like power button functions. both power button and volume up key runs when volume up key is pressed.
4) i am unable to turn off my phone... so i had to turn off my phone by pressing volume up key. even it gets turn off it restarts itself. i believe there is some Hardware problem.??
5) when i press and hold volume up key for 3 yo 4 sec it vibrates 3 times and gets turn off just like we do it by pressing the small button next to sim slot.
i think this is strange hardware problem... anybody got solution for this Problem or i need to take my phone to Local repair shop..?
Please help me.......:crying:
