Power button ring fell off!

My Xperia Z1 is just 5 months old.I bought it brand new and it is an expensive device, but now I am having some issues with the power button. I am really disappointed with Sony. It was only recently that I noticed that it felt different pressing the power button. My friend who happen to be an xperia Z1 owner too, told me that the ring encircling the little button in the middle is gone. It fell off. I am from the Philippines and unlike in the US we are not getting much support here. I don't know were to take my phone to or who should I talk to about this issue. I had an Xperia Z before and I had some issues with it and I took it to a local shop for repair. The technician damaged my phone and now it is totally dead. My question is, will it be covered under warranty? I bought this from a certified Sony selling center just last August 2014 l. It's just 6 mos. old and it can't be a wear and tear issue because I take good care of my phone and I am not a heavy user. This must be a defect and Sony must do something about this. I am hesitant in paying for the repairs. Oh gahd, I really don't know what to do.

I am a big fan of Sony, they used to produce quality phones but now I had to purchase two xperia phones within a year because the phone won't last a year without having any issues. I am thinking that since the metallic ring encircling the power button just fell off.. I'm worried that the rest of it will follow. Please someone tell me what to do. I want Sony to be involved in this case that I am having with my Xperia phone.

Z1 silver Power button ring fell off!!

My Xperia Z1's silver ring around the power button just came off. It just fell off. I need to know if this is a serious issue and if it affects the waterproofness of the phone? I seems as if it was just held on by a little glue but now i cant trust the waterproofness. I searched online and found two other people complaining about it but with no replies. Can anybody please inform me how serious this is?

Just as Alexdon said you should turn to a service centre. This may interfere with the phones IP classification.
Please contact your local Xperia support team for more information how to find your closest service centre:

Button panel fell off- Warranty?

Hi, Just wondered if anyone else has a Torch and the panel of buttons on the front (with the answer key etc on) has fallen off?
I took it back to my provider but they say they can't fix it under warranty as they said it's 'physical damage' It just fell off!! The sticky pad holding it onto the phone just isn't that sticky.Under the blackberry warranty terms it states "...that the BlackBerry Hardware will be free from defects in workmanship and materials" sureley this is covered as it's a defect in the materials?
If anyone else could respond that would be great. Or if Blackberry could confirm it's under warranty that would be even better, I've only had it 3 months and I'm in a 18 month contract.
Thanks

You can but a new set of keys for 8 bucks if they wont warranty it.

If you have Apple care and the problem occured without misuse on your part ... it can be replaced without charge.

Key just fell off keyboard

The D key just fell off my keyboard. I can use D but have to carefully press the little knob. The key cover (?) is completely off. How do I replace it? I tried pressing down on the key cover in the hole it left. That didn't work. No Apple store within 100 miles, so can't take it in. Please help.

It's a very delicate process but once you figure it out, it's very easy afterwards. Tweezers also comes in handy too.
Did the two latch pieces come off with the key? You will have to take them off and put them back on first. Hopefully the little tabs didn't break which keeps them attached to the keyboard.
To see how how they go back on is easier visually then describing so remove any key next to it by taking the tweezers and prying just the key from the top. That way you will leave the 2 pieces underneath in tact. Once you get those attached, just center the key up and press down until it snaps.

Upgraded to Mavericks and have lost the closedown/restart function - how can I recover this function. Pressing on/off button just switches off the display. Thanks

Have just upgraded to Mavericks OS X and have lost the closedown/restart function. Pressing the on/off button just switches off the screen. Thanks

Hold the power button for about 7 seconds to shutdown or select shutdown under the  menu.

Left shift key just fell off

Hello,
My left shift key (Dutch keyboard, small shift key) fell of and I cannot get in back. It keeps falling of. It looks like a small pin at the back of the key broke... strange.
Can you tell me how to get an new one? My apple will only order a complete keyboard set.
Regards,
Thomas

Thomas,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Keyboard parts are not sold separately. If you want to get a working keyboard you will probably have to replace the complete keyboard. BTW this is the case with every keyboard manufacturer I've run across for the past 20+ years.

Roger

Camera Button fell off

Received my Droid X 5th Aug. Yesterday I started to take a picture and noticed the snap button missing. Now I have a choice pay $90 to receive another phone or not use my camera. AND if I send my phone in for replacement and it is decided the missing button is physical damage I will be charged $600. Im glad it was not the power button that fell off!!!!!
Can any one tell me where I can purchase a snap on button for the droid x (3week old) that does not cost $90-$600 dollars!!!!

Yes it does have the shutter button on screen.
As for the rep at the store, it sounds highly suspect that they would not take to time to look at the phone if you made a trip up to the store. If they did not look at it I would have insisted that they do so, or speak to a manager.
Maybe the button fell off, maybe you dropped the phone and it popped off, we will never know for certain. This is a case that should be settled in person at a corporate store.
As for threatening to take your business elsewhere because of this, good luck. Sprint calls bad phone updates physical damage, T-Mobile has crap coverage area and won't stand behind their products, AT&T just sucks in general.

Processor heat sink fell off

Really! It just fell off no bumping or dropping. My 3000K is almost three years now.
I was reading email and the fan went to full speed three seconds latter it shut down. I rebooted and it shut down right away. I took the side off. Booted again. I could tell it was the process fan running fast so I touched the housing heat or vibration. I notice the fan assmy. Was loose on one side. And it shut down. I put a screw driver into one of the screw slots and the whole fell off. All four screws were still in the mother board with a tiny ring from the Assmy still on the screws. Then when I took the screws out of the board the bracket behind the board with the screw threads fell down behind the board. I was able to shake the bracket out but I not sure I get it back into place and secure to mother board without removing the whole board.
Unless a new assmy. Has much stronger screw supports I will be better off to epoxy this one back together and use it.
Is there different grades of the compound to put between the assmy. And the processor.
Has this ever happened to anyone?

Hello Daelm1001,
Drop the computer down to a bare minimum of components installed.
Remove any extra hard drives.
Remove all sticks of RAM except one.
If your computer has integrated graphics and you are using dedicated, move to integrated.
Remove everything externally from the computer (e.g. components connected to USB) except mouse, keyboard, and monitor.
Reset the BIOS by removing the battery for five minutes and then placing back in.
Reseat your processor.
Once you have done all that, try to boot up your computer and see if the observations are the same.

Jelly fell off Macbook keyboard?

So about a year ago my V key just fell off and the hinge was broken so I couldn't put it back on. So then I just used it without the cover and just had that little jelly thing....the squisy knob.
Now THAT fell off.
I can still push the V key but it's harder and takes about 3 tries.
What can I do about this?
PLEASE HELP!

Hi

I'd go back to teh folks that sold it to you as a starter.

Silent Switch fell off

I'm new to the Apple scene with my iPhone 3G, so I'm not sure how things like this are handled.
When switching to and from silent, the button has fallen off. I still have it, and it goes back on but falls off again when switching. What should I do?

I bought my iPhone 3G the first day it came out. After tax my 16GB iPhone was $550 (not exactly a drop in the bucket!). I have taken extreme care of it and bought a screen protector and phone case.
Imagine my reaction when that little switch fell off! I nearly lost it, but was lucky to find it on the floor. I immediately phoned MY-APPLE and of course they claim it was an issue they never heard of before. They suggested that I make an appointment to have it repaired at the store. She told me that she that it's possible that they may have to ship it out to be fixed.
At this point I've had the phone for less than a month and don't much like the idea of having some tech guys start taking my phone apart to put a new piece or super glue it back on.
My appointment is on Monday. A question to those who had this happen to them--- what happened? Did they repair it or give you a new iPhone?
THANKS

My iphone I fell to the ground yesterday, from a height of approximately 1 meter. after this I trailed off, now only turns on when I plug the usb but the apple appears and just turn off and turn back, there is nothing more that I recommend doing?

With that behavior you need to take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for an out-of-warranty replacement. In the US that is $269 for the iPhone 5.

I tried restoring my iPod, but it told me it was unsuccessful. Now it's stuck at the connect to iTunes screen. I've tried holding the home and lock buttons, just until the unit turns off, and until the unit restarts. What do i do?

My phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help!

my phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help! I have tried plugging it into wall unit and computer but my home button just doesnt do anything!

It seems that year long delay from having your lock button repaired has finally caught up to you. Sounds like you have some damage to your phone that requires repair/replacement. Take it to a Apple store or contact Apple Tech Support.
