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

Hello Guys,
My nexus one's power button doesn't work after using a body protector,when i wanted to push the power button i had to push it hard and after 1 month i took it off from my nexus,and i could use power button but i had noticed that it needs to be pushed hard,and now it is not working at all,unfortunately in my country there is no google service for nexus,but hTC does some services here,i think it's the flat thing of my power button because when i push the buttton it reacts(the Spring of button reacts)but i don't get any digital reactions.
Please help me and show me a Way!
If you get tactile feedback then the plastic button itself is intact. Therefore it sounds like a problem with either the logic board or the flex/power button connection. Unfortunately it's much cheaper and easier to replace the plastic power button than the logic board (Assuming HTC chooses to replace the whole logic board and not just that one connection). You can replace it yourself but it will Void your warranty and can be a little tricky.
Ive got the same problem, i also can't get mine fixed by HTC in my country. And ive taken it to a few places in the city who can't fix it.
Right now im relying on trackball wake to turn the screen on, and screen off and lock app to turn it off. and hope they work until i upgrade.
And if you do run out of battery and need to turn the phone back on, plug it into usb power, and pull the battery a couple of times until the yellow LED turns off, and the phone will boot.
Thanks guys i found someone who had a TOTTALY broken nexus one and he was selling it's spare parts,an i bought the whole logic board from him and it cost me 95$ but think it worth it ! Because in my country you can't buy your cellphone with your simcard contract and i bought my nexus one 750$ and if i decided to throw my nexus away i had to forget 750$!,also i found anotherway for fixing an i think it's cool for you guys to know,you can bridge the your power button's broken logic place and your main logic board with a wire and then you can use your power button like before!
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:

power button ribbon was damaged while replacing screen.

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
I took apart my S5 and lost the power connector, volume rocker, flex cable (for home button) power button, volume rocker switch that connects to the board and the power button switch that connecs to the board
More or less, Ive basically lost about everything that you can deteach with the exception of the case lol
I used a razorbalde for some time then wore the connectors off the board and im unable to jump it
Wondering,
Were those pins used to send more than just an on/off response
for example were there four or more possible contact points for different purposes?
The way the pins are shaped (similar to the side of a OHMs symbol) make me wonder
Ive certainly bent the volume rocker receiver panel connectors and wasnt sure if them touching themselves would create a message to the phone of "button pressed"
If so Ill be needing to bend those into a different angle.. all of thats extra irrelevant info though
One more notation
I seen Power+Vol Down?+Home = ODIN Recovery mode... (and USB to PC)
I havent been able to try that (no home flex cable)
To be honest, I think your best bet would be to fork over ~120-140$ and purchase another used device. One center it comes in I would highly recommend either taking it to a professional to get internal hardware things worked on, or practice a more delicate approach. Turns out copper wires the size of a beard hair are a bit fragile. But as it is said a bought lesson is a taught lesson... right?
Due to a defect on a Galaxy S3 I have...I had to remove the power button and use an app called Button Savior. If you want the full lowdown on that...skip ahead to about the 11 minute mark on this youtube vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Glllc7bEJs
I verified on my GM900A that you can indeed turn the phone ON from an OFF state by plugging in a USB charger into the device and immediately press and hold the volume down and the home key.
Good luck to you at any rate.

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.
