I asked my dad to put in my new battery fro the zte axon 7 and after he was done he some how broke the power button. not the one on the back shell of the phone but the one on the strip and the screen. the small plastic sheet with the black thing in the middle is missing. I was wondering how can I fix it or turn it on without the power button working.
just plug in your charger and it will boot up just fined. im also had broken power button+volume
and been using it for 3 weeks already

if you can't just connect it to turn on, expose the buttons strip and take a look at the power button. If the small piece of metal is still soldered, take it out and use something metallic to connect the pads that are below (there should be 2, maybe 4 i don't remember). The phone should turn on.
You'll have to buy the strip off of Aliexpress or somewhere like that, someone else here broke the button the same way and had to buy one from China

Hey all, I'm new to the forums but I can't wait to get my 8125 working. I bought a replacement screen on ebay and a broken 8125.. on receipt all I got was a white screen, then last night I replaced with the new screen and got the cingular logo and the windows mobile "touch anywhere to set up.." message.
Well, touching it did nothing, and the keyboard didn't work, so i opened it up again.
Somehow when I opened it up, the power switch button circuit thing detached from the mainboard (and it looks like the owner before me had actually crazy glued it on!!) .. and now the thing won't power up, won't show a charge light... nothing at all when plugged in or attached to my PC. So I hope that detached power button is the culprit. Upon further inspection I saw that yet another had detached but I can't seem to find where it landed... this one for the little button next to the slider, I don't really know what it does yet.. .
.. so I guess first step is to solder that power button back on and see what happens. Does it sound like a missing power button circuit thing would cause the unit to no longer power on at all (even when soft reset when connected to PC, which used to power it on?)

Argh.. well, i'll give it a go with the power switch.... do you think it will affect the phone to be missing the comm manager switch off the mainboard too... or will the phone still function without this piece soldered on?

Yes, the power on/off button being broken is the reason why you had a white screen, and only getting the splash screen after replacing the touch screen. If you're a good assembly man, I'd suggest try to solder the button back ln place or replace the device. As for the button by the volume slider, that's the comm manager button. If you can ever get to the homescreen, the comm manager icon to activate the comm manager (bluetooth, WiFi, etc. is in the system tray at the bottom of the homescreen.
It sounds to me the new screen was replaced improperly, accounting for nothing happening when you tap it.Try re-installing the replacement screen.

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
Sent from my SM-G900W8 using XDA Free mobile app
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
The power button on my tablet is broken. I was having problems with the tablet, while fixing one thing, I managed to screw up the power button..the metal disc covering where the contact is, fell off. I was able to use a pair of metal tweezers to get the screen to turn on, but then the tablet died and to get it started, obviously you have to be able to hold down on the button to get it to power on, and nothing seems to be working. I guess the tweezer only cause a short jolt to make the screen come on. I emailed Samsung about getting a replacement or something, but they won't answer now that I said I don't want to ship the tablet to Samsung. What options do I have other than taking it to a repair shop?
Hey all,
So my dad dropped his phone and the screen appeared damaged. Tore apart his phone and it turned out the plug for the screen was just loose. Fastened the LCD plug down and put a tiny dab of super glue to keep it in place. Works great now! Cool, I thought
I cannot for the life of me put the case back on and the power button stay in place. I have no idea why, but it seems like I push on the edge of the power button and it goes into the phone, the other edge comes out, and the power button falls out.
I've watched multiple videos and the power button looks exactly the same. Anyone have experience with this or advice?
I don't know what I did but it seems to have worked. I still don't understand what went wrong the first dozen times I closed the phone up because the power button would not stay in
