Help! I've opened the power button cap to try to fix it, any ideas?

Hey all
After two months of treating my HD like a newborn puppy, I left it alone for one minute at a friend's house and someone spilt drink all over it
All is well (eventually...) except for the power button. It acts like it's permently pushed down, so I always have the pop-up 'Are you shure you want to shut down?" and I can't suspend/wake up/turn off the phone (apart from workarounds) or even leave the phone turned off without removing the battery.
I've read old posts on this, and was following some advice from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520702, but I yanked the button up waaayyyy high! (see pic!)

Anyway, I want to try any tips before pushing the button-cap back on. Has anyone seen the insides enough to suggest where to stick a pin/lever it back up etc etc?
If it makes a difference, the end nearest the 'white' bit is pushed down into the device a bit - is this its natural pose or is that my problem>
Cheers for any help, hopefully one of you beautiful XDA'ers will have some help, a beer if anyone performs me a miracle!

Shartered screen fixed!

So about 10 days ago I dropped my brand new HTC Magic, about a week old at that point. I was shocked when I picked it up that the glass screen was shattered! I've had a Tytn and Tytn II and dropped it from two floors up onto concrete and it was fine, this was a 5ft drop and it was screwed. Wasn't happy with that but anyway wasn't going to throw $400 out the window, found a screen on ebay and ordered it from Hong Kong, got it 5 days later and we are back up and running!!
Took about 45min to replace the screen, everything seems to be working fine.
The lesson is they don't make them like they used to but at least you can fix it pretty easily.

Crap can't edit the title after posting

Wow very nice, how long did it take you to replace the screen?

I'm looking to replace my screen as well. How easy/hard was it to dismantle the phone to get at the screen?

wow strange, I've dropped my phone too from about that same height, and it survived with small scratches at the top left and right corners. So I guess it depends on how it lands... Nice job fixing it, looks as new almost.

Glad to hear all was okay in the end.

don't ever continue using your phone that way, if you don't want to take a risk of having an expensive paperweight. Remove the battery cover and battery and put your phone in a jar completely full of rice. (phone should be completely submerged and you should also seal the jar) keep it that way until all the moisture is gone. (it can take a long time)

would that work? ive got it on the window seal at the moment in the sun. how long would you say it would take, days?

I would be careful leaving your phone in the sun, you don't want to cook it - literally!

Damn, mind posting pics? just more reason not to bring my Leo to partys!

N4 dropped in water. Battery drain after replacing daughterboard or software update

Phone: Nexus 4 running on CM 11 nighty 2014-12-12
Hi guys, the following happened to me and it's making me crazy:
- Dropped my N4 into the toilet ~10 days ago.
- After the drop my status LED was permanently on. I opened the phone and cleaned it: status LED running fine again.
- Recognize the microphone isn't working anymore
- Ordering new daughterboard and replace it
- Recognize everything is working fine BUT while calling someone I don't hear anything and the called person doesn't hear me.
- Thought to myself: ****, I destroyed the phone
- Doing another upgrade to CM with cache/dalvik wipe: stil no sound
- via web research I see that it's a bug and has nothing to do with me dipping the phone
So I was quite happy but now I have a ****in battery drain all the time as you can see on the screenshots that I took after leaving my phone pretty untouched over night:

Is this a software error? Or could it be a water damage issue somehow?

Screen softness?

I've had the phone for 24 hours now, and I've already noticed a lot of tiny scratches at the top of the display (by the camera/2nd screen). Several of these scratches go right across the camera, and they all seem to be going vertically up and down the glass right at the curve point. I truly haven't set this phone down screen side down, and the only thing I can think of is it getting scratched going in and out of my jeans. I keep it in my right front pocket all by itself. I'm super disappointed in the glass so far. Anyone else have this issue?
Edit: Photo's.

Mine did as well, I removed it first thing because it had 4 small bubbles in the middle of the display. I just figured it was for transport like every other phone comes with. I'll post photos in my original post.
