Hi guys, I have a problem, since my 1 year old got hold of my hero - the accept call, menu and trackball centre buttons do not work,
I have taken the phone to bits, had a good look round the button pads and they are all dry and look fine.
Does anyone know where I could get spares or have had the same issue?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Guys,
I broke the volume / vibrate switch (top left corner) off the pcb when I was putting the phone back together last night
Does anyone happen to know where I might buy a new one. I can probably fine someone to fit it locally if I can just get hold of one!
Thanks guys
My Vogue took a swim the other day and after some emergency triage, I was able to salvage the device with the exception of one thing-- the power button. The device turns on when you put in the battery, but after it goes to sleep, there is no way to turn the screen back on (unless someone calls me!).
My side button still works. Has anyone has any experience remapping the "screen on" command to a side button? any other ideas?
Thanks!
WOW! my power button just broke yesterday too and i had the exact same question!! But i actually dropped mine and i know the power button is either jammed or broken because it doesnt spring back. I basically have the same question. Is there anyway we can change the side camera button 2 act as the power button?
Thanks (and sorry 4 asking the question twice)
Personally, I would get a new device, since that may not be the only side effect, hopefully you have insurance, you do right?
Anyways, try AEButton Plus, set the camera button to whatever function (i.e. triple tap) to switch display on/off.
Then goto Settings>System>Key Lock, and change the setting to "Do not lock buttons"
Also, this is NOT freeware.
PHM Screen saver...
I had same issue with Power button - I cloned a Telus I got on Kijiji for $80.00 - Once I get AAA Auth working all will be well...
I used to use something called PHM Screensaver... and Yes RESET works too...
BTW - Anyone know where to get parts like that (IE Power button?) - LCD is easy to find, and I don't need it...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I haven't opened it up... but usually it's part of the main circuit board. Unless you're good with soldering tiny little pins... you'll probably have to buy the board and swap it out.
In the case that you happen to have mad soldering skills... it's most likely a fairly common momentary switch. You could possibly rob one out of some other gadget or order one on ebay. The hardest part of that would be getting one that fits where the old one does.
Actually, you won't need AEButton Plus, just turn the lock off.
You could aslo disable "time out power off" type of stuff...
and use AE buttons to turn the screen on and off..
as far as the broken one, i'd dissasemble and see if tis' the
actual switch, or if ti's just the plastic button going to the switch.
Has anyone been succesfull in in repairing the power button? I've dropped my phone only twice in the last two years and both times the spring in the power button broke. I'm beginning to think this is the world's most fragile phone.
simple question for you folks I decided to replace the usb-jack in the wiz i had sitting around and there are a couple buttons not working the comms button, the internet button on the front the left menu key, the hangup button, and the left menu button on the keyboard.
any thoughts would be great.
Thanks,
yonu
I take it no thoughts
ok i got the com button working kinda if i lightly push a flat tip screwdriver thru the housing and move the board slightly it works the other buttons i guess are a problem in the button boards
so any ideas on the comms buttoin issue would be great?
not trying to sound like a jerk but thank for all the help guys I got it figured out
hello all im having a problem and wish to get some input on what the problem may be
my hd2 has been ****in up to say the least i installed a new miui rom on it after having touchscreen problems and the weird thing is i can get the touch screen to respond after holding the the green call button and the home button for one second making the flashlight turn on then holding the back and end buttons for one second waiting for the screen to turn off then turn back on
my question is does this have something to do with the kernel or power consumption it seems it might be the case but im no expert
what do you think?
Try to press once or twice the endcall (red) button. There is a common problem with the Leo's digitizer and it is located under the endcall button. So press it hard. It used to help me.
I suggest you to install button savior or any app with softkeys to preserve the physical buttons.
Greetz,
Dodi
damn that definitely helped it along
thanks
the problem still exist but at least i can use the phone
alas i think its time to move on
that sucks i really liked my phone
Not responding touch screen
Is the keypad fully connected with the touchscreen? Because my keypad flex cabel is broken, and my digitizer doesn't respond. Do i need to buy a new digitezer or just flex cabel? Can somebody help me? Thanks
i haven't checked the good thing is i have a spare digitizer but its a hassle still ill probably end up trying eventually
My dhd volume buttons stopped working a while ago (unless u press really hard). I ordered a new button and it arrived a month later, now even with the new button, they r not working .
Also pushing the buttons with a pencil tip (without the volume rocker) still doesn't make it respond easily...almost completely dead
What am I supposed to do to fix it? DIY possible? Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Hey look buddy. I had the same problem and I have resolved it by replacing, by myself, the mother board were the volume buttons were attached . It's a DIY thing. Just order from ebay or any local mobile service parts from your country, the upper main board ( upper mother board ) and then search on youtube, how to disassemble the phone. Just to be very careful when you open up your phone because it's a little tricky, and remember the order of your steps.
Good luck !
