I think I got some sort of sticky food substance in the power button. If I press the power button it feels stuck and takes a few seconds to depress itself. Has anyone experienced this before or know of a fix?
I started to take the back panel off but could see that power button is not accessible unless you completely take apart the circuit board and outer casing, which im not willing to do as of yet.
I was thinking about putting some rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab and rubbing it around the base of the button and maybe some could 'seep in' and breakup the sticky stuff thats in there.
Any suggestions ? Thanks for any help.
You need some sort of solvent that doesn't damage plastic such as Flux cleaner. Spray it around the button and hopefully it will remove it.

Hello All
I'm going to be replacing the mic on my blue angle so took the device apart have a quick look.
I've put it back together, but find the volume button/slider no longer works and is very loose, wobbling around. Obviously something has fallen out without me noticing. What is it which should be under the volume slider button?
Thanks for any help

hy y dont u try & reassemble it carefully
-------------------------------------------------
hop that helps
well i think you got the same case as mine, there's a little strip of plastic tab that connects itself to the push and pull button. Too bad its too small that upon reassembling, unnoticibly you will likely to bend it or cut it off. Mine's got cut so maybe you can replace the tab with a glued plastic tab of the same size.
Ok got pissed off and now my volume buttons do not work.
Two questions
1. Good place to get replacement for those buttons
2. Registry entry to edit and lock volume at max
button board repair
I had a volume button issue as well before and looked for a button replacement. But when I took out the actual button, it was an easy fix for me.
Taking it out is easy breezy. Remove your battery back, battery, SIM card and pry open the bottom cover (a bit of force.. or youtube it). Remove all the obvious torx screws (including the kickstand) and you have clean access to the volume button board.

All you have to do is disconnect the ribon cable (lift up the little plastic lock) and you can take out the whole button board. The board itself is a simple circuit. I pealed back the black tape (from both ends so I don't have to remove the tape completely) and cleaned the two silver button cones (the actual metallic cup thing that gives you the clicking) and the circuit board. When you put the tape back (check you alignment), just don't tighten the fabric so much the button is anchored too tightly to the board. Slip the puppy back in and you're good to go. Fixed my sticking/nonclicking/nonworking volume buttons.
Otherwise, last I checked, the button board is around $15 off the bay.
EDIT: might want to consider upgrading the microSD card too. I took open the buttom cover too much on one HD7 and the little clips eventually broke off. Just a thought.
Well I got pissed off with it changing volume up/town at will so a my one is broken now ...
Maybe I'll buy new one.
long story but i was trying to fix my rear camera lights and opened the phone up. when i popped off the volume/power ribbon from the mobo, it popped the part of the mobo the ribbon was attached to as well. i don't if i had a dud of a phone but there was literally no way in hell it was going to stay on the mobo because it was on the ribbon TIGHT and like connected to the mobo by a drop of glue. zero resistance when it came off.
anyway can i hook up my phone to my computer and boot it that way? surely there has to be a way to do this without the power button working.

There is a YouTube video on how to replace the power button and when he removed the power assembly you can see there is a small silver pressure button which is what the plastic hits. If you can touch and hold that with a pin it should start up. If it doesn't power up by depressing the silver button then you are going to need to replace the assembly itself as shown in the video. Keep the buttons though, I don't think they come with the power and volume assembly.

i put it on my qi charger and it booted right up, if anyone is curious
This tutorial also helped me, so if someone has the same problem, maybe it can help.
If a single button on the remote does not work or if you need to click stronger a button then follow the instructions.
There are several reasons why the button does not work:
The copper plate, which contains each remote, is, for some reason, rusty.
dirt accumulated below the button.
When the key is pressed, no contact is made with the board.
If it is the first case, then you need to open the remote control, be careful not to damage the casing.
You need to clean the whole board with alcohol, then you need to dry it as well.
Also, do not use strong alcohol to avoid further harm. You can use soap instead of alcohol, and wash it easily and quickly dry.
In addition, do not forget to look at the rubber part that can also be washed in the shampoo.
If the same problem persists after cleaning, then you still have the following. in the inner part of the rubber part for the button that does not work ypu put a piece of aluminum foil or something that is conductive.
Additionally, if your remote does not have a LED that signals the touch of a button, you can use your cell phone to check it out. turn on the camera and direct it to the camera, then press the keys and you should see the beam.
if unfortunately none of this helps, then you will have to buy a new remote.

As title says, my power button piece some how broke off and I haven't really found a solution for it.
You can still turn on/ turn off the phone by having a thin rod or something and pressing it against the small button inside of the frame.
Tried looking for "plastic pieces for moto g6 play" and couldn't really find anything.
Thanks.
EDIT: I've lost the plastic piece
