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.

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 guys,
recently i just replaced my i9000 super amoled with a new screen. when i was replacing my screen, i accidentally damaged the power button ribbon on the mobo. so while waiting for my ribbon to ship over. i have been using small piece of metal to short the two pin in the mobo( which are the two pins power button ribbon is connected to) to switch on my phone. however, one day that method cant work anymore no matter how long short the pins together my phone wont switch on. im afraid i might damaged the power button controller chip as well.
and now my new power button ribbon is here. soldered it on. still doesnt work
any idea guys!? ((
anyone

I have the same issue with my SXL and here is what I do ..
1. Use CWM Recovery (Search the forums) - it will switch on your phone on connecting it to with a charger/USB cable. This comes in handy if I remove the battery and since the power button does not work at all, I cannot power on the phone in any other way. Once I plug in my switched off SXL, CWM Recovery starts up the phone and I get to reboot it from Recovery.
2. USe a custom ROM (I would recommend CodeFireX from Anders if you like 4.2.2 or RunnyKitKat from Onejay for 4.4.2) and under settings get the volume to wake feature turned on. Now you can wake the phone screen using the volume buttons.
3. Get an app from the Play Store - "Reboot Menu widget", which becomes a soft menu button to reboot or shutdown, or take a screen shot or to simply close down the screen...
I couldn't get my power button fixed as the device was out of warranty and I did not want to spend the exorbitant prices these guys were asking. So that's what anyone with a broken power button can do.. Hope this helps

Hi
Power button and volume buttons are identical with buttons used for HD2.
HD2 buttons are attachable, there is 5 of them and they are very cheap.
Get them and find someone with soldering gun with thin tip (for smd) who could solder them for you.

Cool thanks for telling that, now i just got to find someone with an HD2 LOL.
90% of people i know have iphones, so thats going to be hard :fingers-crossed:
Search for some combination of these words on ebay and replace the main board. It's usually the little micro-switch that's gone so replacing the plastic button doesn't do anything.

Button is located (soldered) on the board and is covered with protective tape.
When broken usually only plastic body stays on board. Transparent cover (with black dot) and micro disk comes off and for that reason button does not work. Whole plastic button needs to be unsoldered and replaced.
I attached picture of HD2 buttons which you can buy i.e on ebay.
I did it twice (first time with volume then with power button) and it costs nothing.
Replacing whole board is quite expensive and unnecessary - in my opinion.
hello

Maybe the small interconnect board that the flex cable of the side buttons has problem? The connectors on that one are quite lousy. Try to wiggle the flex while the phone is on and see if at any moment the power button works at least once. Other than that, it might be the upper connector that connects this board to the mainboard.
