Are all Samsung power buttons the same? The internal white one that is soldered to the board, not the button you actually touch. If they aren't all the same, are any of them the same as the n7000? Mine keeps messing up on me and restarting or bringing up the shutdown screen, and I can't find a place that officially has a n7000 power button and ships internationally to Chile, which is where I currently am.
My N7000 also started showing this behavior. I've reduced the display off timer so i don't have to push the power button all the time to get the screen off.. Are you sure that it is the button misbehaving? Maybe applying some air spray thingy would help. Haven't tried yet.

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.

did it fix the microp error? if so how?!
Hi Guys,
I have a frustrating situation whereby my Galaxy Note powers on but the screen appears to be in permanent sleep mode - I get nothing but black on the screen.
You can here the Samsung chime as the phone powers up, I can adjust the volume button and hear audible tones. I can also call the mobile from another phone so the underlying phone/OS is working fine.
I can also connect the device via Kies USB and copy images/music with no issues.
I have tried removing the battery and replacing, I have also tried giving the device a full charge however I still get nothing on the screen.
Does anyone know if it's possible to perform some kind of hardware reset to get the screen to power back on? If not I guess i'll need to return the unit
p.s. Stock Galaxy Note
Thanks v much
Jeremy
Same problem for me , i have test many ROM and kernel but i still get the black screen. it's generally when i haven't use my phone during a couple hours.
Same issue here. The screen remains black and not responsive to front button or power button. I still am able to hear notifications (e.g. calendar reminders, plug in power, etc.).
Long press of power button to reboot is the only solution I have found in order to clear.
First occurrence yesterday after owning note for 1 month.
Second occurrence today.
Stock device. No root. KL7.
No newly installed apps prior to first occurrence. I will cross-check to see if any apps updated yesterday.
I have also disabled Green Power.
guys i have been owning note since past 45 days
and suddenly i faced the same problem today
when phone is in sleep and i receive a notification and press the home button
to wake the phone
i see only a black screen with a minute pink dot at top right
and the phone wont respond
however pressing the power button it brings the menu to switch and etc
so i can select power off and then again switch on the phone
guys this is frustrating
please help

Hi guys,

history of my phone:

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
hello friends, today dropped my droid turbo, after that it seems that power button is little bit fell in, so it's harder to press on it, it's no more like volume button (no click effect), but it steel works, so is there some solution to fix it without disassembling whole device? thanks

I have a not-quite-so similar issue; I dropped mine a couple of weeks ago, with a Diztronic case on it, and it landed on a brick walkway directly on the power button completely disabling any function whatsoever to the power button. I thought about opening the back of the phone and trying to replace the button with one from a previous busted quark that I still have. But instead, I have gotten by without it by using Lock Screen Widget (free from Google Play, along with other similar apps), which can place a button on the screen, either permanently or on Home screen only, to turn the screen off.
Now, to turn the screen on, Ambient Display has proven to be invaluable, plus in the Button settings of the Bliss (@NepoRood) custom rom I'm using, there is a selection to wake the phone using the volume button and I have it set to wake when it's plugged into a charger / PC. If you're not using Bliss, I'm pretty sure other custom roms have these wake features; if you have unlocked bootloader and root access, the Xposed module Gravity Box may be able to enable this as well. However, if your phone isn't rooted, I'm not sure if this wake feature would be available.
I know this may not directly answer your question, it's just what I've been using to get by. I am curious though if anyone else has had success personally replacing or repairing the power button.

A few months after I got my original Droid Turbo the power button failed. Wouldn't turn it on or off. Physically had a problem. They told me that there is an issue with their power buttons and when it gets like that they have to replace the button.
However, perhaps you do have something as simple as a dented case/cover in the metal by the button which is restricting the button from functioning as normal. If you have something small and thin like an intricate pick tool, you might be able to get down in there a little bit and see if you can go all the way around the button. If it sticks or stops, that might be a dented area.
Tab s2 8.
Was using practically fully charged tablet one minute, went to use again and screen black.
Back and task switch buttons still light up when press power or home. Plus volume up/down makes the louder/quieter beeps.
Power and volume down gives me the quickest flash of the samsung and android boot logos and then screen black again. Makes the email received notifications you get when restarting the tablet.
Is basically on but just no screen. But screen still functional enough to briefly show boot logos.
Any thoughts?
Update. After about 30 mins of faffing, magically returns to life. Any thoughts on common issues that might have caused? Indicator of something about to go wrong for good?
Put down gently today and the right side of the screen displaying flickering dark/black stripes. Left side of screen perfectly fine. Touch still works over the whole display. Any ideas? Internal cable come loose? Or something more terminal? How easy to check/fix?
