Hello to all.
I have lost one of the two physical side buttons. Anyone has any idea how to get a replacement? Or one that matches?

Hello, new to the site after just having purchased a new HTC Hero in white. Hasn't arrived yet, but I have also purchased a replacement housing in black that includes everything I need except for a black volume rocker, which I didn't mind as I thought it would be easy to find. But I'm having trouble locating somewhere that sells parts for the hero bar the usual replacement screen and digitizers.
So does anybody know where I could get hold of a black volume rocker, or at the very least, somewhere that sells broken heros for spares/repairs, even ebay seems to be bare of these.
Thank you for any help!
After a bit more research, I have found that it is actually part of the middle cover according to the HTC parts list, but I can only find that specific component as part of the entire housing assembly which I already have, on top of that, only the expensive ones seem to include it, which isn't a viable option.
So anybody know where broken HTCs Hero can be bought, specifically the black T-Mobile G2. Or does anyone have a broken one? Graphite would be acceptable as almost anything is better than white on the black housing.
Thank you again.
Hi,
Do you mean the volume button? Or something else?
Maybe you can try and paint it yourself with black paint or something like that.
Cheers,

Yeah, the volume button on the side. I was thinking that as I have painted a few things before, but doesn't it have some rubbery texture to it, or is it just smooth plastic?
Maybe the rubbery feeling makes the paint stick better to it.
Maybe using a waterproof pencil or something like that...
Does anyone have a quick fix solution, to repair a damaged volume up (replace little aluminum button), without replacing the entire main flex cable? The little aluminum button was damaged, and no longer flexes to contact the PCB. Volume down still works properly. I've searched and the only solution I've seen is replacement of the main ribbon. Please help.
P.S. - I attached an image of the button I'm describing.
Last image did not show up. Hope this one works.
Common problem with the inspire. You have to replace the whole thing including cable that goes to main board. Just about the whole phone has to be disassembled and the new part put in. I know the actual part is pretty cheap. Not a simple task though and no quick fix.

So the dome is cracked in half? Looks like it. One suggestion, maybe try some solder to "fuse the dome back together, maybe just maybe... Otherwise I use flex circuits at my work and I have some of those domes but they are bigger. I could send you some and maybe you could trim it?
One thing I just fixed on my Inspire, the down button wasn't working real well. The domes were fine just had to press real hard. I put a little, thin piece of paper (backing from a sticker) between the little foamy like piece and the flex circuit so the button doesn't move as much when pressed. Worked a charm!
Maybe that will help out others.
If you're unfamiliar, as i was, start at 2:23 on this video and you can how to get the buttons out. Can't post links yet so here's the video title.

Hi ive just repaired my volume flex cable(tore it during digitizer replace) and my volume down button still won't work! After further investigation I noticed that inside the actual housing where the volume button lies there are "painted metal contacts" similar to the ones located on the GPS,simcard cover, and wifi antenna/battery door. I've tried a very small piece of foil with no success, is there some kind of conductive paint for small electronics?

Sensors still work for me
When I was removing the battery to stop a rom that did not work the button or knockers snapped in half. The sensors still work if I reach in there with my nail and I was hoping that there would be a small replacement for these buttons, but I wanted to check here first to make sure that it would not break the sensors and then I would have no way of running AAHK or going into recovery.
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:

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.
Hi all! This is probably a stupid question but here it is. I need to replace the lcd on my s6 active and I am going to try to do it myself but when I look online to buy it the very front piece of the device has just white cut outs where the buttons should be. Does this mean it doesn't come with the buttons? The s6 active has 3 physical buttons on the front and not seeing them there worries me. Please help me out, I don't really know what I'm doing. Thanks a lot!
