I have a t300t and the power button is not working at all. I can not turn the device off, or reboot. The only way I can wake it up is to un-dock it. We have tried to readjust the tape and metal contact but it does not work. I am to the point that I think that the power switch itself is bad. Any advice other that trying to get ASUS to replace it?

I own a Samsung Captivate and I was running CM7. Randomly my Power Button wouldn't unlock or lock the phone. I flashed to stock and still no avail. Also my phone turns on as soon as I insert the battery. Please help
Power button could be bad. If still under warranty, get att our Samsung to replace it.
I'm not under warranty though :/
This just happened to mine while doing the same thing. I took my power button plastic piece out, and messed around with the actual button, and it fixed it, but that's just for me.
I am having the same problem right now as well. I used this to remap a power button to my volume down key, but still cant get my power button to do anything.

hi
is it possible for the galaxy s3 powre button to stop working? i used a aftermarket battery not sure if it play any part in the dead power button. but want to tell you that too. the power button seem dead to me or something is wrong with it, i take out the battery and put it back and the phone vibrate and a quick flash of the word "samsung" and stay fully dead. it turn on by itself when i insert the battery without pressing the power button. i can do that many times and sometime the phone work and it get to the home screen and all buttons work except for the power button. no matter how hard i press it it wont turn off the screen or anything. anytime i got lucky and it boot to home screen, i plugged in the charger so that way everytime the screen shut off i can turn it back on by unplugging the charger, and that turn it back on... otherwise i cannot turn it back on with the power button...
anyone solved a problem like this power button issue? what could be wrong? i know the phone is not dead ,, so could the powwer button issue trigger multiple issues for the phone?

if you can get it to turn on u can use a app to wake it up by sensor.
Could be related to the 3rd party battery but hard to tell without checking out the internals to see if anything on the PBA got fried.
If you're able to get it to turn on with an app and not able to unlock the screen without use of the charger it may just be somethin to do with your power button itself.
Did anything happen around the time of the issue starting? (New apps, physical or liquid damage, software updates, etc)
Have you tried a known working OEM battery?

SO I looked around and diddn't see my particular issue posted already.
My S III has a broken power button: when I gently tap the power button the phone locks, then turns back on, and then shows the power off options as it would if I held the power button down. I dissasembled the phone and tried using the hardware button itself (without the actual plastic button over it) and I had the same issues.
I am broke and really want CM on this phone. As you would expect, If I even try to get into download mode to flash CWM Recovery, the power button forces the device to restart.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way that I could install CyanogenMod without the use of this button or maybe any other way.
All help is appreciated,
Thanks!
Edit: If it helps, I just noticed that i'm on 4.3. Is there even a way to unlock or roll back the bootloader at this point?
Thanks again.
Hi, I just noticed that the power button on my Z3 is not working properly now, most likely due to the excessive usage. I could still trigger the power button if I really want by pressing the volume up and the power button together, but that will trigger the long press menu instead of just turning off the screen. I had figured out a way to turn on the double click to wake up so I can live with it, however I couldn't quickly close the screen and put it in my pocket.
Does anyone has similar problems? If so how did you fixed it? Sending it to Sony repair spot will cost me about 3 weeks and it will be my last option. I live in NYC, but the Sony Store here couldn't do the repair work.
Thanks in advance!
hardware problem you need to send it back to fix it. in the mean time you can add either one of these to your homescreen to lock the device

So I accidentally dropped my Shield tablet and it landed on the side where the buttons were. Now the button are broken I can't press the power button and the volume buttons. The tablet itself is shutdown so I can't turn it on.
When I connect the tablet into a charger the screen turns on and shows the battery icon and telling me it's charging..
So is there anyway if I can turn it on without the button or is there any way that I can fix it.
The warranty has expired....
P.S i have contacted nvidia and they told me they can't do anything about it
Go to a technician. They can definitely fix some buttons.
