Hello there.
I finished in a problem that seems to happen quite often.
My power button does not respond anymore.
I have been deeling since yesterday with it thanks to this thread.
But now i have the phone in a bootloop thanks to a damaged ROM file...
- i can get to bootloader but power and volume keys do not respond,
like the power button is stuck being pressed, and adb does not see the device
- nothing else works.
I have to leave tomorrow for another country, so i am asking here for a quick solution.
Did anyone managed on his own to fix the problem which seems to be hardware?
Can anyone post a video or photos on how to open the Nexus and what to do to fix the button, or is it something that only the samsung service can deal with?

Hello everyone! The problem is power button on my Asus TF. It needs to be pressed veeery hard and still it unlocks screen like only from 4th-5th attempt. That's annoying I would tell.
Is there any possiblity (tool for example) to make TF wake up from volume buttons (like in cyanogenmod 7) ?
Rooted 2.02 Prime ROM
Thx in advance for any help!
UPDATE: Just what I didn't want this issue to be, I now have a hardware power button issue. Not a software one... Guess it's RMA time!
I'm not so sure it is a hardware problem. Let me explain my situation.
My power button doesn't turn on nor turn off the tablet anymore. I cannot do a hard reset with the power problem depressed for 10-12 seconds like I used to be able to do. I'm not rooted otherwise I would use the Quick Reboot app!
I never had a hardware problem with my power button until just recently. After the 3.2.1 ASUS update it appeared that everything was fine, but a rogue app crashed the tablet (can't remember exactly which one, but I think I was installing some Equalizer/Sound apps to help with the speaker volume) and things weren't the same afterward.
I now have no way to power on the TF with the power button and need to attach the charging cable or dock for it to wake up!!!! Very annoying! I also cannot shut it off unless I let the display timeout or attach the dock and hit the lock key!
I've let it run down to 0% battery and then have had it do a (hard) restart, but that allowed the power button to turn on/of the TF for only a while. So I'm thinking it may be a software issue. Perhaps from the dock sleep fix we got from the latest ASUS 3.2.1 update?
Anyone else having issue with their power button? Would rooting help if it is a software issue?
Seems like your problem is not hardware yeah. Sorry for you, that should be rly annoying.
But mine i'm sure is hardware one ((
send it to asus for repair. i had the same problem and got it back
within 5 days. now everything is working well.
Well I did RMA the device today as the power button had become totally non-functional; I couldn't turn on/off the tablet nor could I do a shutdown (hold power button for 4+ seconds) or Hard Rest (hold down power button for 12+ seconds).
This time next week I hope to have my tablet back...
Hi everyone,
Today i faced a problem with my tf700T, i tried to power it on but i couldn't.
I tried all the following steps but with no luck at all:
1. Normal press on power button, nothing happens.
2. Cold reset (pressing power & volume down buttons for very long time), nothing at all (no vibrations, not a single sign of life).
3. pressing reset button. nothing
4. suspecting that it's a screen problem. i pressed volume down/up , but no vibration occurs (i.e. the tablet is not turned on)
The tablet is fully charged, when i connect it to the charger the led shows green light.
I tried to connect it also using usb cable to a pc (led doesn't show any light) and left it for hours. tried to power on again, but no luck. Needless to mention that it's not detected by pc also, since it's turned off.
Now i am out of ideas, i can't think of anything else to do.
If anyone can help me with anything to try, i will be very thankful.
Thanks
PS: i searched before posting this thread but i didn't find a relevant post. If there's a similar post, please guide me to it and i apologize for duplicating it.

I think you alredy tried everything in the book. It's time to send it out for repair. Note: Even some how it turn itself back on later, I still recommend to send it out, because it's not NORMAL at all, possible defective Power button, main board etc...

Thank you, i wanted to make sure i didn't miss anything. I will contact their support.
But i'm curious about "turning itself back on later", do you know how could this happen and how much does it take to occur ?
Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my galaxy S. The power button stopped working about a week ago, I could press it and it wouldn't respond at all. The only thing I could do is get to my homescreen by plugging in the USB. I followed a good video on youtube in disassembling my phone.
I took everything apart exactly and tried the power button, but it would not work. However when I put it back together with the battery and everything it wouldn't turn on, even with usb connected. I double checked every ribbon in the phone and reconnected them all, but nothing.
Is there anything I could do to fix this?
hey there
first, it's the wrong forum...
try this app to lock your device:

and wake it up with the home button - this can be a solution for you until you replace the power button as it's a hardware problem
Hi, I'm having a problem here.
I've had my Nexus since Jan 2014. Today, I accidentally dropped it from around 50cm (With Spigen armor case on) and suddenly, the hard buttons stop working.
I cannot turn my phone on but I can force restart it (when I long-press it) so I know its a hardware problem. I can go on recovery mode/bootloader and use the volume buttons and power buttons to select and all but I can't use it on my 5.0.1 L. I tried reflashing 5.0.1 but to no avail. Any help?
Thank you.
Bump-chikki-chikki-bump. I really need help, guys! It's my daily driver.
What do you want us to do? You said it was a hardware problem. Repair shop or RMA it...

Best option is to have it fixed.
Quick fix would be to flash a ROM or kernel with double tap to wake (DT2W).
Hmm. Okay, noted. Thank you.
Are you sure it's a hardware problem? You said the power button works when you hold it down to restart the phone. I'm having the same issue where the power button (AND VOLUME BUTTONS) don't work in any ROM but I can hold down the power button and volume button to get into recovery and restart. It's only intermittent too so sometimes it will start working and then sometimes it stops for no reason and I can't work out any pattern. even reflashing a rom doesn't fix.

Same here!!
I've been searching for possible causes and fixes for the EXACT same issue - hardware buttons work fine in bootloader but unresponsive in Android. I've only ever run stock and reflashing made no difference.
I am of the assumption that it's NOT a hardware issue, since long-press to reset works fine and volume/power buttons consistently work OK in bootloader (not intermittent at all).
Since I've reflashed to stock several times to no avail, I guess the next option is RMA. I do keep pondering if this is a Lollipop-created issue, but that doesn't fit the symptoms...
exactly, if it was a lollipop issue a lot more people would be having the same problem.
Hey guys,
I need some urgent help.
My Nexus 5 device is not booting. It stucks at the bootlogo then powers off and restarts again.
Normally it wouldnt be hard to fix such an issue but the problem is :
I can't boot into bootloader (bootloader appears for 1 second then phone powers off)
I can't boot into Recovery mode (Recoverymode appears for a second then phone powers off)
I can't get my phone into fastboot mode, - it appears for a few seconds durign the bootloop as an "unknown device", but I am not able to flash a new bootloader/factoryimage.
I tried like every possible option what I can do, but nothign worked for me.
What else can I try since I can' get my phone into fastbootmode?
Bootloader is unlocked
Secureboot is enabled
(from what i can see in these 2 seconds where the bootlaoder pop's up)
Is there a way to recover my nexus5?
Symptoms of broken starter button
Posté depuis Nexus 5 / Miui7 by Miui-France
Remove the motherboard and clean around the power button. When you have cleaned around the power button, quickly press and release the power button using more pressure than normal a few times, try to boot again.
Thanks for the tips!
I never thought that a broken Button could cause this issue.
I will check it as soon as I am home.
But how am I supposed to clean the motherboard, and I don't understand how cleaning the button from the outside
of the case should help to solve this problem.
Can you guys explain it a bit more detailed please? ^^
Are there good and very detailed tutorials for this?
And yes, you ideas definitely make sense because some days earlier when the Nexus5 was still
booting fine, I remember that I sometimes had the issue when I turned of the display with the power button
it instantly turned on again and I had to turn it off like 3-5 times until it really was off (standby).
To clean around the power button, you'll have to disassemble the phone which is not hard to do it you take your time and use the right tools.

I noticed that the issue really was the powerbutton, - however the button was broken and
not repairable by cleaning. To repair the phone I would have to purchase a new motherboard.
In the end I decieded to purchase another phone, just saying that if someone will have the same issue in the future
try to clean first, if that wont help the powerbutton is most likely broken, and this results in a new motherboard-purchase because
the button is not repaireable by hand
The power is replaceable if the damage is confined to the power button itself.
