Hey!
Recently my physical buttons fell off. I have my old S9 Plus.
I don't have volume buttons. I don't have power button.
I tried using some kind of needle to turn on the phone but it doesn't work. Is there anyway I would be able to do that?
Keep in mind that I cannot go to recovery and I cannot go to download mode. The only thing I can do is go to battery mode when I connect the phone to charger.
Thank you for reading!
Take it to authorized repair center and let them try to fix it r buy a new phone.

I did but they have told me that they are not able to replace the buttons. They have to replace the whole motherboard and that is basically the price of a new phone. I'm not willing to pay that much.
Then put it into e-waste.

Hallo DesireZ Fans,
i give a DesireZ this year to my girlfriend on chrismas, but i can feel, that the power button is near of hisend of life.
So could someone told me, how a can get a repair part for this button ?
I already searched on google, but i cant find it ...
Regards,
Snot
Old post, sorry.
I had the same problem. I had the stock HTC software in it as well so I couldn't boot the phone, unlock the screen. Totally useless without the power button.
I then had to have the motherboard replaced, partly due to me forgetting to remove the SD-card when removing the back cover oops. 260 euros later I now have working phone again. Was it worth it? I'll leave this for You to decide.
My power button broke about a month ago, which wasn't a big deal unless my phone turned off as I would not be able to turn it back on. I took it to a local shop to have it fixed but they could not, saying that a soldering point was missing on the power button. So now my phone is off and as good as a paper weight. Now, I can send it off to Samsung and probably have it replaced, but they will wipe everything when they get the phone. I have things on my phone that are very important to me (text messages, notes) and if there is any way possible I would like to get these back.
Does anyone know of a way to turn the phone on without the power button? I was looking into this and someone mentioned maybe I could use a jig and Odin to force a reboot. I don't know if this will clear any data. Plus I don't really know how to use either of those but I am currently reading up on them to make myself familiar.
Any ideas?

The thing is, getting into Odin mode requires the power button. Your best bet is getting it repaired.

But if I have a jig do I still need the power button?
Isn't the power button just a switch, if so you could just open the phone and use a paper clip to turn it on, transfer your files and then get it repaired.

I've opened the phone up and tried messing with the button but it still wont turn on. There's a little white square that sticks out that the button pushed into to turn on the phone. I'm not sure if this square is the piece that is broken as I'm not sure what a functional one looks like. The white square doesn't push down for me, and I'm not sure if it is supposed to or not.
my power button is broken.. screen turns off on even with little touch... Can it be repaired or not? i have given to the repair centre they said it cant be repaired as its attached with the motherboard
You could disable it entirely at software level in android, and use an app like 'Auto screen on' to turn screen on.

Dunno what service is that you have visited, but the power button can be replaced by someone with the skills and a heat station.
Probably the hardest thing of all will be finding the actual spare part.
So I just did this.
My phone was dead. A paperweight. It in its coffin, its box.
Until I received a message from one awesome person who told me I can still save my phone.
Basically, what I did was wipe out my recovery and wipe a lot of other stuff using TWRP recovery and using format data and advanced options.
My phone wouldnt even charge so I gave up hope.
Then I received an awesome message from an awesome person who explained how I could still access my bootloader and guided me through this guide as to how I can flash in a stock OS- https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
So I told my brother to charge his phone, and then took mine apart. and then took his apart. then used his battery to turn on my phone and flash the image. I did it.
then I turned my phone on and it got stuck at the google screen. Similar to the problem the first time around.
I turned it off and tried to charge it and thankfully I could. So it wasnt as bad.
So I flashed again and this time we got to another screen. Still google but a better animation.
It was taking too long to load so I turned it off and then on again.
And voila. One of the quickest boot ups I've had with the Nexus 5.
So that's how you do it. I'm not 100% sure if this is the right place for this and I apologise for the rantish style of this post but I am so happy about this.
There was a casualty though. My brothers phones power button was broken. Meaning I could only turn it off once and I wouldnt be able to turn it on unless I fix the power button.
I have not been able to fix the power button because the inner power button is broken. I,e I think it needs to be soldered back on. So thats one phone which died in order to save another.
I could look for help with someone in my family who knows how to solder stuff on and see what we can do.
Does anyone know any way I could get away with this without soldering?
even if it means I can only use the power button once. As in like, if there's any way I could turn on my phone, even just once, but then I dont need to solder?
I can keep my phone charged all the time after that...
The power button to turn it on is a very cheap piece... Think about a 2 USD 10 pcs.. buy it on eBay and take the mobo to any place that could do the job (take the old button apart and put the new one) it's sounds like a big deal but it's not
Good luck mate

Thanks man
I opened it up and the power button seems fine. Its just been separated from the motherboard so it needs to be soldered on so idk why I would need to buy a new power button.
I have no experience with soldering stuff so yes I am going to take it to a shop and ask the guy to repair it.
Still recommend to get a new power button, you'll have to go to a shop and ask somebody to do the job, it's better to do it with a brand new button

:crying: so during my daily life the volume button fell off and I can't find it so I have to use toothpicks to control volume without using a widget or going into the settings. I sadly tried Google support for help, and since I am residing in Saudi Arabia they can't help me. not even finding a way for me to find buy, get, receive a button to use on pixel 2. so I hoped someone in the community here might know where I can find a replacement. SO HELP ME :crying::crying::crying:
Contact Google. They should be able to just RMA it and all you'll have to do is go without a phone for a week or so.
Nope

they refused to RMA because I am not in states.
Hmm that's weird as to why it's not getting covered a RMA. Maybe you need to go directly to Htc

Pics please
Does this button look flimsy and can easily fall off?

Having removed a toast skin from my pixel 2, yes... Two small clips is all that holds either button in. The power button only clips in one way to work. Was a pain to pop back out and flip around. Paid more attention with the volume button afterwards.
