You still can. Just got to take a few more steps now.
Just as easy to push home and power. Easy peasy.

Or swipe your hand across the screen.

Take pen out, click on screen write, save without writing? BTW I'm unable to get screen capture using home/ power button, not sure what am I doing wrong, but screen write is all I need.

Best suggestion I can give you is to get root and use a ROM with trackball wake/unlock. This will reduce the use of the power button to almost nothing. You could also then use quick boot to allow reboot to recovery, bootloader or normal. All without touching the power button ever.
Some devices have faulty power button. Some don't.
I don't know how lucky you are with your device, and I don't know how gentle you are with the power button, so it's impossible to tell if your power button will fail or not.
In any case, as suggested above, using trackball wake can lower the chances of it failing.
U said some have some dont... that mean not all could possible became faulty.. usually how long the device became faulty? 4 month? 6 month? Or over 1 years? Currently im using widgetlocker to unlock via trackball...

I have had mine since about a week after release. My power button is still like new. I have never had to push it twice to do the same thing.
Mine broke about a month ago, i bought ti a couple of weeks after release.
I used quick boot to reboot it, screen off and lock app to turn the screen off, trackball wake to turn it on. And if you need to turn the phone back on, you can plug it into power and pull the battery a few times.
Power button is fine after a year. But I avoid it as much as possible by using Quick boot, Lock, & Trackball wake.
That mean all possible became faulty!!. Right now im avoid it using power button.. i use widgetlocker and screen off and lock free on market.it help me to turn off screen without touch ur power button

It's kinda strange, I keep hearing of these issues with the power button...
I had to have dropped my N1 at least 5 times straight on the power button. Almost split the device in half one time doing it. Power button never failed on me, nor did any other hardware come to think of it. And I still sold it. lol.

It IS a possibility that your power button will go bad. It is a possibility it may not. No one can say for sure that, yes your power button will quit working. The less you physically push it, the longer it will last, obviously.
Mines been fine and I've been using it regularly since April, I think the issue affected more of the early Nexuses than the later made ones.
My power button is starting to lose it's functionality and I am sad about it. It's still usable but my alternatives is using quickboot, trackball wake, and lock screen app. I barely use my power button now.

I recently broke my LCD and am currently in the process of either fixing or just flat out replacing my captivate. The question I want to possibly have answered is this:
Is there a way- and if so, how am I able to pull the data off of the phone and transfer it to my PC without being able to utilize the touch screen or even view it for that matter? I am unable to mount the SD to my computer because I have no way of actually doing that with the lack of a functional screen.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
So, to make sure I get this right, there's no functionality of the screen at all? Like you can't see nor interact with it?
Or can you at least touch and get results without having something to look at?

Trying to use the broken screen to navigate to mount it I doubt will yield any results, recovery works because it's navigated with the hardware buttons. Umm idk about stock recovery...but if you have cwm then, if you found a screen shot of it you could count the button presses to mount it that way.
Or wait i believe they send the insurance replacement and then you send in the broken one so you could flash cwm on them both and hold one in each hand, then synchronize button presses using the new phone as a guide. I did this exact thing, when my brother in law decided to chuck his cappy across the damn room. Only I used my captivate instead of the replacement. Worked like a charm. But the replacement did get here before we had to send in the broken one.

That's a key question. If you knew the key presses and screen gestures to get to TV Out, say. Would your phone's menus still browse in response to blind touch?
Simple test for that when fully booted:
press Power button to light screen
fully swipe any edge of the screen to unlock
press the lower left Dock icon (Phone), above and fully left of the Samsung name
an audible click means you loaded the dialer.
This is easy if usb debugging is on.
Adb pull /sdcard

Correct, there is no functionality to the screen. I can neither see nor get a response from touching it. The digitizer and LCD are both BUST. USB Debugging was not set either. Not sure I will be able to recover from this one.
Yes you can. Read my instructions. Even if you didn't have cwm you can use a button combo or a jig to boot into download mode and flash a kernel with it baked in. totally doable.
Look on youtube at mobiletechvideos channel he has a video for just this type of situation. You basically use your pc as your captivates screen.

Hi
How do you take a screenshot on the HTC one?
Thanks
I get a camera out of my bag and take a photo of the whole phone.
Joking, it's done by pressing the power button and home button at the same time

your timing must be off, try again.
Press power then home
Confirmed
I hold down the power button and the volume down key at the same time for a few seconds. That definitely works!

How do I draw on a screenshot so that I can send it to someone via sms/mms? I tried Skitch, but it didn't have the option to send via the stock messaging app under the share menu.

Both my wife and I have the S5 att. We don't do anything custom on the phones, my wife plays a few games and I use mine mainly for emails and Web browsing.
Here lately, both of our phones will lock up while using them. The screen will be on and it just freezes. You can click the power button and it will go black, and back on when pressed again. You can't restart the phone, you must pull the battery.
Hers doesn't while mainly texting and mine while waking the phone up.
Any thoughts.

Ive had mine lock up similarly, twice. When mine does it, it freezes, i hit the power button, screen goes black. However, when i hit it again, the screen stays black. The capacitive buttons light up, they go back out if i hit it again, and yet again, if i hit it they come back on. Ive let it sit for about 10 minutes but still in the end would up pulling the battery.
No power saving mode. I restart mine every other day, my wife not so much.

Mine has done the same. Only once though. I went to unlock it and the water drop touch sound was going off like I was touchtouchtouchtouchtouchtouch like 10-15 times. Holding down power gave me the restart/power menu but touching it was non responsive. It kept swapping itself from the home screen to the screen setting menu (that you get when you long hold the open app button) .. I set it down for about 5-6 minutes and left it alone and it finally fixed itself. Very strange. Ive been running 100% stock out of the box since I got it last weekend.

Same problem as this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726029
Extraordinarily frustrating, i'm on the verge of sending my second phone back as well, just to get the point across. I have to pull my battery 2-3 times a day.
Ive had this issue a couple times, it seems to be triggered for me by the use of some functions within apps, in my case the facebook app brought on a crash, which I needed to pull the battery

Anyone else had this ? Normal use, not been dropped and the power button has cracked in the middle. It works still but its sunken on one side which is annoying.
Yes, same here. My power button bricked in normal use too. Right in the middle like urs. Sometimes its unpushable
