Hey, i just replace my digitizer for my t-mobile hd2 and successful got it back together and thought that everything was work, but i could not get the volume button in. I got it in after putting the chassis on but the volume button still doesn't work. So if anybody could give me some input on this that would be very helpful.
Do you feel the button take action when you press it? If it does, then the contact is made with the button, the problem might be something else.
a guy from HTC repair said its better to change whole screen instead of replacing digitizer.
As mentioned, can you feel the button depressing when you add pressure to the rocker? Pull the case back off and press the button manually to see if it works when powered on. If it works then, realign the flex cable and retry. If it still doesn't work, then you most likely damaged the flex cable and need to replace it.

In addition to said above check housing screws, they must be tightened because if they are missing plastic volume keyboard will misalign with flex cable volume keys and it will be impossible to press them.

At first i forgot to put back the last 4 screws so the housing was not on tight enough but i now i did that and its still not working. So now im going to try look over the flex cables again and hope that will works.

Today I noticed that the Volume button is loose. Is this normal?
My Touch HD's Volume button is firmly in place.
How loose? Might has a little give in it but i wouldnt call it loose.
It's quite loose, I can move it with slightest touch .
My volume up button didn't work out of the box. There are a couple of threads about the problem but no solution that I saw other than take it back for a replacement which is what I did this week.

Thanks for your input. Anyway my volume button works fine, but it's just loose. I'm not sure I can get a replacement for this reason.
there is supposed to be a little "play" in all of the buttons. Its the same with PSP, DS and other portable gadgets. With a little give they won't break as quickly if they get snagged on clothing for example because they are not rigid and consequently have a little bit of "give". Hope that makes sense!
My first one had a solid volume button, the button on my replacement is very loose. Whether they will all get looser over time is another question...
For all you Repair guys,
How do you re-assemble the volume up down key without damaging the buttons on the flex board.
Do you attach the back housing then insert the volume key?
Or it has to be done with both back housing and volume key at time of assembly?
hints tips please
In for an answer
This is driving me crazy as well! Has anyone figured it out? I get it in there and som,etimes volume up will work, but not volume down. The official HTC video doesn't show how to do it exactly. It does show the volume key being in there when they put the chassis back in the plastic shell part though.
I just repaired another hd2 I installed both the volume key and housing at same time and worked, It didn't distroy the tiny buttons on flex this time.
JUst go slow and do not force it
use some tape to hold the volume button in the housing while you install the chassis / screen into it.
Vol keys button installs just before u put backside,put button and align,then CAREFULLY put backside and snap on.find best angle that buttton holds himself in normal position then snap....

The problem is difficult to diagnose from your description alone, there could be various factors involved, from faulty flexes, to digitizer and mainboard connectors.
I suggest if you are asking what you need to repair, you need to talk to a professional. And if you can potentially manage the assembly/disassembly, the volume key membrane is a part of a main flex that connects pretty much everything, it cannot be purchased separately or attached.
I have successfully replaced the screen on the HTC HD2 Leo, but after assembling the phone the volume button is not working. I am not sure if there can be something missing as I cannot feel the 'click' when it's pushed. (not sure if it was there before though)
As far as I remember the volume button consist of two parts: the printed circuit and the plastic button. Or is there maybe something that needs to be connected that I have missed?
Thanks for any hints

dismantle it again, it can be the plastic button its self, it acts like a spring under its own tension, when I re built mine the first time the lower button had stopped worked well, and it was simple because I hadn't put it back right, it was, and it looked right, but it wasn't quite right
I would a agree with dazza9075. Sometimes when putting the phone back together it may look right but sometimes its not. If i remember correctly there is a little spot it fits right into but you need to make sure it goes in in just the right way,
both on the top and the bottom. There is a complete how to guide to replace the lcd screen on the HD2. If i find it I will post the link. It may clear up just how you need to place the vol button back in place. Worse case you can always find a
cheap volume button for only a few dollars on ebay to see if maybe you broke this one when trying to replace the screen.
Hi, I did not manage to fix the button, but managed to get by without it.Till now. I was looking in google for a solution and found my own tread from ages ago...
Now, I would need to put the button together again. I looked into it and I guess I am missing a piece that the plastic button is supposed to be pushing. Before I order something, can anyone please confirm and possibly post a picture of what the button it should look like under the plastic part. Also if you know what the part I need is called, please let know. Please see below how my button "circuit" looks like.
Many thanks for any help
This is what you should have bellow the button

Thanks for your response. I could not find the buttons separately and have therefore ordered the button ribbon for the 5 hw keys for under $3, which hopefully will be possible to dissemble and transfer. I would rather not buy the whole flex cable, where's the button is attached to, as this is quite expensive $20+.
I let you know if I was lucky. If you know where I can buy only the small pieces I am missing, please let me know.
A pic of what I ordered is attached fyi
i can confirm that you can use buttons from that tape, I've had the same situation, just pick up the circle button and add it to volume tape.
Mine was damaged during assembly, you have to be very carefoul
You can actually do lcd & digi removal & refit without need to remove flex ribbon completely thus keep the volume button & cables running to mainboard all in place and those small button caps are safe still wrapped in original tape & it all goes back together factory style ...
Long story short my S5 got wet and I took it apart, but when I put it back together the volume keys aren't working. I'm not sure If I need to buy the midsection of this phone that houses the volume and power buttons or if I need to buy a new LCD glass. I think I may have cut the ribbon cable on the left side of the LCD screen. See the below image of how the two cables look like they should be connected but are disconnected. Every tear down and pics of this phone show these two cables being connected. Can someone please confirm if I did indeed cut this cable and if it does control the volume up and down buttons? I want to exhaust all my options before I break down and buy the midsection. If I did infact cut the cable then it will be a costly mistake. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Im not sure if you did but for now you can download a volume widget till you can have it looked at

I wish it were that simple as I have another problem with my phone, but in order to fix that problem I need to fix the volume button problem. My phone is stuck in boot loop from getting wet. It's unrooted and I could access the screen to wipe data when the volume buttons worked, but even after trying to wipe data it would still stay in boot loop. Now, If I help the volume down, home, and power button I could access the Downloading screen. This screen will give me hope of reloading a new OS, but I can't get to this screen till I can figure out my volume button issue. I"m hoping some one can shed some light to my question above. Thanks
