Nokia Lumia Lock Button stuck

Hi guys. I'm a proud owner of a Nokia Lumia 1020 and to be honest this phone rocks.
Few days ago I've accidently dropped it in water. It took me a couple of seconds ti put it out and immediately started to shake it to remove the water from the inside. The phone was working well continuously only the power/lock button was acting strange. It wasn't responsive at all. When I've tried to power it off it didn't let me. It stayed powered on. For precautions I've disassembled the screen and put it along the body of the phone in a sealed box of rise. My mistake was that I didn't disconnect the battery. It was turned on all the time.
It stayed some 20h like that. After that I've reassembled it again and for my luck it was working like a charm. Everything except the power/lock button. What I realized was that the button is stuck in active state. Physically is ok. When I press it it's working great but it is always active. I've noticed this when I tried to lock and power off the phone. It didn't let me. But when I hold Only the volume down button the phone makes the soft reset. The camera is also unavailable. When I start it with the dedicated button it starts, shows the loading... Status and goes back to start screen again. I think that this is caused by the power /lock button. I know that the camera is working because when I did hard reset on the phone during the startup setup it activated the camera and the next time I've started it rejected me again to the start screen. I have a solid phone repair knowledge cause I have been working in on local repair shop few years ago so I can do some basic repairs. So I'm asking, could it be the flat cable that is causing this? Maybe the button itself or the connector on the motherboard? Thanks.

Thanks my friend. I appreciate your response anyway. 
Take care.

  • 4S lock button stuck, repair cost?

    My iPhone 4S bought on release is now out of warranty (assuming there's only 1 year warranty)
    However its lock/wake button is now stuck, it won't work.
    How much is it going to be if I bring it to Apple store for a fix?

    Apple handles this problem with perfect replacement iPhone 4S exactly same as yours, same color, same GB etc for $199. If you want to try Virtual Lock Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can be used to turn iPhone OFF. To turn iPhone ON connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

  • IPhone lock button stuck.

    So the lock button on my iPhone got stuck yesterday. As a result, I am Planning a trip to the Apple Store this weekend, I have a few questions. (Note: My phone is under warrenty)
    1. Will it have to be sent away, or will it be replaced in the store? I have heard both
    2. Being it is under the one year warrenty, will there be any cost to me? One again, I have heard both.

    It will not be sent off as long as it is under warranty it will be fixed in the store or replaced in the store. It will be no cost to you unless it has water damage or a cracked screen. Any physical damage voids the warranty regardless of what is going on. So as long as you have no physical damage and it is still under warranty no worries to you at all.

  • Lock button stuck i do not have warranty

    my ipod touch 4g lock button is stuck how much would apple charge to fix it???

    Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.  Maybe they can unstick it.
      Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Otherwise
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 if 64 GB one and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price              
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

  • Nokia X6 lock button BROKEN OFF

    my lock button fell off 2 months after me purchasing it.
    Has anyone else had this problem, with it breaking off?
    plus, i took it to the shop and they said i hav to pay to get it fixed , and i did argue it was nothing to do with me and that it was vert loose from the start.

    Nokia X6 - this seems to be such a common problem. I had my phone "repaired" by O2 just a few weeks ago (unfortunately just over 30 days so my supposed rights aren't great). The new phone (the majority of my phone is new, but O2 call it a repair 'cos they've put the original motherboard in!) has just had the slide switch spring go too.
    Why do 100s of people have to experience the same inconvenience before Nokia change the design and admit that it is a design fault and that the phone is not fit for purpose - unless you never use the phone, the lock switch will always go after a short time - it is not made to withstand multi-daily use.  Makes me very cross that I can't now change to a (lesser) model of phone that does not have a design flaw.  When will this silly switch idea be withdrawn?  Still got a year to go on my current contract, but I think only solution is to put SIM into a decent phone. Sorry, but just saying it as it is. 

  • Lock button stuck, not sure if still under warranty

    I bought my iphone 4S on March 17th, 2012. Today (April 18th) I noticed that the lock button isn't working and unfortunately I did not buy the apple care plan or any type of insurance on it. Is there anything I can do to get the issue fixed? The nearest genious bar is two hours away and I don't want to drive all the way over there just so they can tell me that they can't do anything about it. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Warranty is 1yr from date of purchase (assuming purchased new and not refurbished).
    Warranty status can always be checked online.

  • Lock button stuck iphone 6

    I got a new iPhone 6 about 2 weeks ago and this evening the lock button began to feel sticky and barely works.  Will this be covered on the warranty as I don't believe it was my fault? if so, how do I go about getting this fixed? Thank you

    None of us could determine what Apple might do, and they are the ones that make the final decision on warranty issues. You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store and have the device examined. If they determine it is a manufacturing defect, they will replace the device.

  • My Nokia Lumia 620 won't install new apps or updat...

    Greetings,
    My nokia Lumia 620 is stuck at "pending" when I try to install new apps or update existing apps on my phone from the store. I even tried unistalling and reinstalling but still was stuck at pending. That's it no error message, no crashes. it just waits for ever and it never starts downloading
    I have a nokia Lumia 920 and it works fine with the same sittings and downloads from the same Wi-Fi - What's wrong and how do I fix it?
    I'm not a forums guy but I posted this because I couldn't find my problem anywhere on the internet, so I'm really desperate. I need the phone fixed ASAP.
    Thanks.

    take a look at this
    http://www.nokia.com/ie-en/support/product/lumia620/troubleshooting/
    if the battery is completely dead, just keep the phone connected to the charger, and wait about 30 mins before trying to turn it on
    and fyi, if the charger is not powerful enough, lumia phones can drain the battery even if it's connected to the charger
    also dont forget to take a look at this:

  • Power / lock button on NOKIA LUMIA 720

    After updating my Lumia 720 to 8.1 I have noticed that my phone takes some time to wake up. There
    is a 5 second delay when I click the Power/ Lock button to when my home screen displays. I performed a reset on my phone and the problem still persists. I have also done a full reset clean one with Lumia Software Recovery Tool.
    Even on cyan version without developer preview the problem still persist. I have removed memory card class 8  but still persist and move apps to sd card, in other word i have done all the possibilities. My hardware was fully check  and
    its a software bug. Please help me.

    We have moved our support forum for OS Consumer Support,
    i.e. almost any support of the Preview for Developer release that is not related to developing an application, to the Microsoft Community website here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wpdp

  • Lumia 720 lock button and volume up button not wor...

    HI ,
    MY lumia 720 has gone useless. The volume up button stopped working some 4 months before, and God's grace the new 8.1 update helped, even though the button doesnt work now. From 2 weeks the lock button has also stopped working and now its completely stuck. Now calls keep coming, but unable to answer anything or make it silent, as it is stuck and cant even do anything. I will never recommend any one a Nokia phone in future. 
    Please some one suggest me a way to restart my phone with out using lock key. 
    P.S: Nokia:: please restart manufacturing nokia 1100, as it is far better than a useless smart phone. 

    Sorry to know about your issue with the device.
    Connect your phone to a PC via USB and try this software recovery tool from the link below, remember the phone would completely reset
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/mobile/support/product/lumia-720/softwareupdate/
    Do update.
    Happy To Help

  • My Nokia lumia 620 top volume button got faulty, I...

    My nokia lumia 620 top volume button somehow went inside the phone and I can't increase the volume, its stuck at 0! Is there any way on Windows Phone to increase the volume without the damn key? I need a solution because my warranty is in another town and I won't be there in a week.

    I get the issue is annoying, but maybe you should look into getting some different shells. Besides making a fashion statement it'll fix a broken button in no time.. (well a few seconds that is).
    Besides.. choice is always good.. As a Dutch national the colour for the next few days will be.. Orange..

  • Nokia Lumia 520 - Alternative way of locking/unloc...

    Hello!
    I've got Nokia Lumia 520 before a week and overall the phone seems really good for my needs, but I found yesterday that the only way to lock/unlock the screen is by using the Power button every time.
    My question is: Is there an alternative way of doing this like for example double tapping the touchscreen or by some app that can perform such function?
    Thanks!

    The 52x hardware does not support the Glace screen functionality. I would guess that in sleep mode the used screen has no power thus would not sense the tap or be able to display the clock. It's a budget phone for a reason..
    That said, pressing the power button is the only  action to wake up the phone..

  • Lumia 520 Lock Button

    Today I updated the OS on my phone and now the lock button on my Lumia 520 isn't working. I'm on OS version 8.0.10328.78. I've performed soft and hard resets and my Display+Touch settings are up to date. Is there anything else I can do before mailing my phone to a Nokia Care Center?

    Hello
    When you press the button to power it it turns on?
