A while back I removed the plastic power button from the plastic casing around the tablet. I had the constant power menu issue because of the misaligned power button inside the tablet. I'd like to sell the tablet, but I need to get a new power button for it, and I can't find one anywhere. The closest I've found is a complete replacement back cover, but on Ebay they want almost $40 just for the plastic shell. Does anyone know of somewhere that sells parts for the TF300?
Ok so for some reason the golden strip with the black dot on the power button flex ribbon came off and now I can't press the power button down. Here's a pic of the piece I'm talking about. http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/...=40&tag=siu-container;thumbnail-view-selector Is there a way to fix this without buying a new flex cable. I'm also having the same issue with one of the volume buttons. Thanks
Edit: Just to be clear. I didn't tear the ribbon. The little golden piece of tape with the black dot in it fell off..
No idea. Haven't seen that before since the One's start here at xda.
Hi
The little white plastic power button/switch underneath the top cover has broken off, not the black button on the top cover!! I cannot seem to find any parts on ebay or anywhere, do I have to dismantle the phone and replace a whole ribbon or is there a way of replacing just the tiny white button? If I buy a damaged HOS could I repair it or is it impossible? Thanks anyone:crying:

I purchased a replacement off Ebay about a month ago
you will need a very small solder tip and a steady hand
Ebay item 321217874516
So there is this thin plastic-ish strip on top of the button ic but under the physical button, just open your back cover and you'll have an idea of what i am talking about, it has this black center and is goldenish color the rest.
So, I was opening the cover and that 'thing' from the power button and volume + button fell off, I didnt pay much attention, but now those 2 buttons wont work on there own, still I can get them to work by opening the cover and using something pointed, so as far as the IC or the chip or whatever it is, is still fine.
I need some suggestions on some makeshift ideas on how to fix it so the buttons will work with the cover on. Also if possible, anybody know if the mobile guys fix it and how much it costs? Dont worry about where you live, I just want to have a rough idea I dont like walking in to a mobile mall and feeling all dumb
Thanks in advance, and the other thanks you'll all receive anyway for helping

Well, you can easily fix it yourself if you are a bit smart. Just try to stick a box shaped paper tape at that place where the plastic broke off from.
Cut tape in a small rectangle. Then cut that rectangle into many small pieces of same size and form a small rectangle. Then stick them to the place where "that thing" came off.
You can also use a double end sticky tape but usually the thickness is defined so I am not sure if that will help.
HTC Sensation is an old phone however, you should easily find old bodies/ new cases to replace your current body.
Good Luck
Thanks my explorer had a similar problem Its original back cover's buttons worn off, so I folded up a piece of paper and stuck it there and used a cover over the worn out back case. With sensation there is no way to make the paper stay in the same place, i didnt think of paper tape or double sided tape, will give it a shot.
Hi, I repaired a HTC One XL Display for a friend. The Problem is a little piece, to push the Power Button is missing now. It is not the plastic button itself, just the piece that gives the impulse to the platine.
This is what i mean http://m.ebay.de/itm/121505332126?nav=SEARCH
Can I order this one or do I have to change the whole flex cable?
Thank you in advance.

Hi, I don't know if you've already fixed it. I recently had the same problem. If you want to save a couple bux you can use alumium foil to make a little contact piece. I did it and pasted to the plastic button that's hold by a little black thing, so when you push it, it makes contact as if it were that piece or button you posted.
I also install Touch-To-Wake and double-tap to make screen off features so i won't need it so much.
