hi,
yesterday I disassembled my phone to fix a microp error that had occured when i had dropped my phone. i disconnected two cables (one for the keyboard, the other for the lcd screen). then i reconnected them both and then went about reassembling the phone. however I accidently ruined the power button of the phone when i was doing so. a little part of the power button came off (a black button with the black sticky tape).
when i connect my phone to a charger and the enter button shows a pulsing light indicating it is charging.
so i was wondering does anyone know how to fix the power button for the htc diamond, does it require any minor soldering? or is it possible to turn my phone on any other way so that i can assign a different key to act as the power button.
cheers.
You can turn the phone on by using the soft reset hole on the bottom with the stylus.

Hello,
It seems like power button cable (thin black one) got ripped from pcb in top part of phone is there some way to reconnect it ? or i am f....d ?
I disassembled my G1 today to replace the touch screen. The touch screen glass was broken, I took the device apart removed the damaged screen and installed the new one. When I got everything back together, I get very little response. I press and hold the power button after a few seconds the device vibrates momentarily then nothing. The LCD doesn't light up, the power LED doesn't light up when the device is plugged in. Any ideas?? I'm thinking that the LCD flex cable might have been damaged, but I'm unsure if that would effect the power/charging LED when plugged in.
Any help here would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi guys,
i cant switch on my phone at all. 3 combo button cant work too. my phones dead except for charging.
history of my phone:
replaced screen.
power button ribbon was damaged while replacing screen.
so i bought a new ribbon to solder it on.
i was using the phone without the power button while waiting for the power button ribbon to arrive.
one day my phone just went to a black screen and thats that. i cant even power on my phone now.
just soldered the power button ribbon back. still not working.
any help guys???
Just read this....CLICK ME
Maybe it can help identify whether there is something else wrong with your phone or if your power button is still not working
Also there was a thread i believe in Q&A a while back where someone had broken his/her power button. So try the search again... GL
Hi all!
My phone got water damaged (a little bit, the back cover wasn't properly put) and the phone now turns on only in safe-mode, even if I reboot, pull the battery or do a factory reset. My volume-down key doesn't work now, if that could be the problem.
Does anyone know what I could do?
Thank you
Mine was doing the exact same thing, except my volume-down key acted as if it was being pressed down constantly. I spilled water on it while on a cruise and it wasn't the same. My phone would constantly mute and the volume overlay was constantly visible on the screen. I had the safe-mode on reboot several times, I'm assuming holding the volume-down during boot is what activates it.
My fix was pretty brutal, I popped the volume button off with a thumb tack, then uses tweezers to rip the volume ribbon cable out of the phone. I now have to go into the settings menu to adjust volume, but at least the phone is usable. My hunch is that water damaged the ribbon cable via the volume button.
The actual fix would be to replace the frame/back housing bezel for the phone. It's only about $8 on Amazon (http://amzn.com/B00K458DUK), however it requires removing the screen. My phone has been dropped a few times so I'm worried the screen won't survive a transplant. A replacement screen is $150, so I've just been dealing with no volume control for now.
I see... thanks for your input! I'm guessing mine is having the same problem. I'm not comfortable doing the brutal fix myself, but I don't know where I could take it around here to get it fixed.
Hi! Hope all of you are well
My problem is that about the title, I had to change upper motherboard because dead Power and +/- Volume buttons. Between my brother and I did the job, we put all in the same way the old mobo was, the phone charges until charge LED goes green as normal, the new Power button works because when I press it the phone does the typical boot vibration, but screen dead, it doesn't show nothing, even after waiting a few minutes until it fully boots the OS the Home, Menu, Back and Search buttons doesn't vibrate after pressing them
Any help and suggestions will be well received and appreciated
Thanks in advance!
