Power button problem

Hi all,
I have accident on sea where one wave splashed a bag where my phone was. After small problems with "laggy" buttons everything went fine and my phone worked correctly except power button. It doesn't react. I couldn't even restart the phone. And when my battery was used I coudnt turn it on. I tried to press volume up + power button million times, or all 4 buttons, and somehow I manage to turn it on again while still I was on vacation. Few times I have entered Android recovery screen, and Power button worked perfectly there (I managed to press power button and select reboot device). And after the phone turn on power button would usually works few minutes and then it would died again.
I have installed software for simulation of power button and it worked ok. This morning somehow I decided to turn off my phone, and I couldn't even imagine what kind of problems I will have to turn it on again. Whole day I am trying to turn it on, but it doesn't react. When I pull in charger then it shows regularly battery status (70%). I am desperate :crying:
I am trying to google or find any solution how to bring it ON again without power button, but without success
Is there any way how could I turn Samsung galaxy S6 Edge Plus without power button?
And what you think, is this some kind of software problem, and maybe some factory reset or flashing might help? Or it is more likely hardware problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Can anyone help me?

I have just found this article which might help me:
How to turn ON Galaxy S6 without using the power button:
When the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge is turned off, press and hold the volume button for a few seconds.
While holding the volume button, connect the Galaxy to a computer using a USB cable.
Wait for your phone to boot to Download mode.
Then press down on the volume rocker to cancel the operation.
After the operation has canceled, the Galaxy will reboot and turn on.
You have successfully turned on the Galaxy S6 without using the power button.

But somehow this doesn't work for my phone? First I wasnt sure which volume button should be pressed, so I tried with both in all combinations and still cant get into Download mode.
But I am glad that samsung had created some workaround if power button is not working. THis used to work on older models I guess.
Is there anyone who might know the way how to turn on phone without power button?

Topway and any other unbranded Tonghai second gen recovery mode

Ok, apparently there is no recovery mode for the device or any other similar unbranded devices. The only way to fix firmware or any other issues is to flash it directly using the sequence below, especially if you don't have physical buttons. Make sure you have the firmware in a usb drive directly plugged in without extension cable, or using sd card slot.
Turn off the power to the HU, then press reset button, and keep it pressed. Then turn on the power, the illumination should remain dark at this moment due to the reset button is still pressed. After 3 secs, release the reset button, and immediately when the HU start to illuminates, turn off the power, then turn it back on in quick succession. The screen should show start update, and the progress will be shown on the screen.
You don't need to take the device out from your car. Just turn the key slightly, no need to turn on the ignition, to turn the power on.
Hope it helps somebody.
Hi guys,
Any idea how to enter recovery mode with this hu? It does not have physical buttons. Pressing reset button for few seconds did nothing. Thx in advance.
