Power button is not working!

Hi, my phone got a little wet, it worked after i dried it. Then i noticed the power button was not working. I opened the sliding keyboard and my phone lit up, so the phone was working fine. The battery drained and now i can't turn the phone back on. Is there any way of turning it on? do i have to boot another rom? If the power button is dead, can i remap the button to one of the other keys? when i charge the phone, the light comes on and shuts off after 10 minutes or so. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

i guess no response means there is no solution, i will try to boot another rom maybe that can work to turn on the phone and then remap the key

y dun u give a try by flashing, it might boot up, n once it boots up, uncheck on do not lock buttons in start>setting>buttons or start.setting.systemkeylock setting..

Weird problem with Nexus S...is it dead?

Hello everybody,
recently my brother's Nexus S started having problems. The battery life was awful and 4 days ago the power button stopped working. We were out, so i disabled the lockscreen. That way pressing the volume button would turn the screen on. This "trick" worked quite fine until yesterday, when the phone shut off, I don't know why (maybe the battery went out?). I tried to turn it on again, but there was no sign of life whatsoever. Not even volumeup+power button produced any effect. I then read on this forum and it looked like the motherboard is gone. Thinking that the phone was gone, I searched a way to recover photos and text messages from the phone(always remember to set a periodic backup). After a couple hours of pointless research, I gave up and went to sleep. I turned off the lights and I saw a flash. It was the Nexus S. So I filmed it and uploaded to youtube. Here's the link: http: // youtu.be/oGSVjElAwq0 (remove spaces) You can see the screen blinking a couple times(around 0:07 and 0:27). Maybe the phone is not completely dead and there is a way to recover that files or even save the device. Unfortunately I'm not expert, so I don't know how to proceed. Any help is appreciated. A big thanks in advance.

Hi, please try to answer these questions. Might help solve your problem.
When you plug the phone in, do the capacitive buttons light up?
Does your phone get recognized on your PC when you plug it in via usb?
Are you 100% sure this is not just a battery issue?

Hi, thanks for your time
-No, the buttons do not light up.
-No, the phone does not get recognized by the computer(i tried Windows and Ubuntu)
-I can't exclude a battery problem, but ,even that, it should power up when connected, shouldn't it?

Black screen & no recovery!!!!

Hi all !!! Sorry for my English but I need your help
I commented what is happening with my phone N5 (which for good and evil is always stock without root or anything, with corresponding OTA updates.)
1- Yesterday afternoon at lunchtime while reading a book in playbooks, I notice that suddenly disappears one line and then appeared intermittently. I close the app and noticed the same thing happening on the screen menu. I shut down the cell and turn on again and I thought it must be an application be kidding. But still does.
2 Also yesterday I happened to change the security on the phone screen. After a while of normal operation, try to turn it on the screen with the button, nothing, the screen goes "black", with light and retrolight turned on but no picture no nothing .
Called the cell to see if it works or is turned off and the phone rings but the screen nothing. Try turning it off and on again by holding the on / off / lock button and the phone restarts, but the screen nothing. In one such attempt to do the above it is seen that managed to turn it off. And I get it on and do a normal boot, except that the picture of my screen is changed to the original. Change the lock screen which was previously using (slip). And it seemed that out or some conflict with the lock. In one of those again pressed the ON / OFF / lock as would normally and it starts all over again.
After I magically back to life, I want to make a full wipe as I think it should be an app that is doing some conflict or something. BUT ....
3I turn off the phone and then press the keys VOLUME UP / DOWN and ON / OFF is normally off, squeezed the first screen with the options but options RECOVERY / BOOTLOADER appears in red I choose RECOVERY give the ok with the key and .... andriod robot appears with the legend below that says something (I do not remember well) without or without controls options appears. So its seems thatI dont have recovery.
After that keep pressing the key ON / OFF and the phone turns off and / or reboot normally. All this I did it again to see if the error reappears and looks that I do not have recovery.
The failure of the screen is increasing. I dont know if they are separate problems or is it all the same problem.
Sorry if I was too long but I need the help of you.
UPDATE Now it seems that the screen died, since I do not achieve to turn it on as before, the light and the retrolight its ok. The phone receives calls and notifications but the screen stills black.
Thanks all.

sometimes things just "derp". itll happen more often if you dont reboot your phone often. also, your phone will be a little bit more responsive if it gets reboot once a day or two.

RMA or fastboot it back to stock, if the screen doesnt turn on afterwards then it looks like a hardware issue, open device and reconnect the display.

Thanks again!!

Nexus 5 Keeps restarting

Hey guys,
I've found others complaining about the same issues but no resolutions. My phone constantly restarts itself after updating to 5.0
Attached is a video of my phone constantly looping: never mind I can't attach the link because i'm a new user. If you search nexus 5 keeps restarting on youtube you'll see it
Someone posted a trick where if you constantly tap the power button it'll turn on. It works for me, but it only delays the restarts, as soon I stop it turns off. I seriously need some help this is getting out of control. I've tried booting it in safe mode and no luck either, it still restarts itself. I've restored the phone as well, no luck. Hoping for a magic trick or something.

How did you solve this problem ? i have the same problem.

Sounds like the power button is stuck. It is not a software issue.
I had the exact problem yesterday. I fixed it by pressing the power button a bit harder than normal (you may have to disassemble the device as I did), and the button works normally again.

LAST RESORT - S6 GM-920I - DEAD - No RECOVERY/DOWNLOAD MODE

Hello Guys . . . hope you are well.
This is my last resort to get this working.... otherwise i have a nice piece of glass on my table right now.
I´ve been reading enough to decide to write this, I´ll try to be clear.
A few days ago i update my phone to MarshMellow, everything went ok.
I restarted it a few times.
But yesterday it was a bit low in battery, so i turned it off, plugedin, and went to shower.
When i got out, i picked my phone and tried to turn it on - I WONT TURN ON.
I just took a deep breath and go to work.
When i come back read around to enter the download/recovery mode with all the combination of buttons.
None of them worked out.
So I said..."that s it... i have a brick"...but one thing happens... when i plug the charger, the screen lights up with the battery level and indicates the values.
---
So a resume:
-cant turn on muy phone
-cant enter recovery or download mode
-the screen turns on when plugin the charger.
-the computer seems to detect the device one pluged in.
If i forgot to share any data, please let me know
Thanks in advance.

Try usb jig to force the phone to boot up.

Maybe the powerbutton is broken? Does the screen light up if you press the power button while charging it? if no, does the screen light up if you press the home key?
