Power button broken or somehow disabled?

Hey guys new to the forum but i Got the k1 for christmas and i absolutley love the thing besides th fact that it updated six times from christmas to jan and that it is buggy the browser sucks crap and force closes all the time and the whole thing is generally slow and buggy and poorly developed software....... But i awoke this morning and the power button does not work..i have never dropped it i always put it in its case and there is not a dam scratch on it...which i was quite proud of and the only way to get the screen on now is by plugging in the charger ... god forbid the dam thing dies and the power button still wont work ...has any one had any experience with this can i fix it my self or must i send it in and pay the shipping and all that jazz????
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Leave the tablet charging overnight then try turning it on the next day and see if it helps. I dont think the K1 has keylock for the power button. If changing it overnight does not help, then contact service. They should send you a box with a return label

Boot loop and power button broken

Hi,
I have a new problem with my iPhone 4 8go
Tonight the battery died so when I woke up I plugged it in like I normally do, but after the usual white apple when the phone turns on, I see my lock screen for 2 seconds before the phone shuts down automatically.
If I keep it plugged it stays in a boot loop and just stay off if I unplug it.
I've done my research about that issue, which seems common, and it looks like going in DFSU mode and restore from backup might work.
Problem is, my power button is broken and doesn't work anymore, so I can't do the manipulation with home and power button.
I have downloaded redsnow to try to go in DFSU mode without button but due to the boot loop, the phone is not detected in iTunes...
Is there any way to force the phone in DFSU mode or anything else I can do?

That is a software to hack your phone. You can't get any assistant here per the term of use of this forum.

IPhone 3G Power button broken, as well as interrupted restore to iOS 4.0.1

So my sleep/wake (power) button on my iPhone 3G is broken, and I tried updating to iOS4 on iTunes 9.2 on my Macbook Pro. So, the restore seems like it's going well, but during the progress indicator process of "Restoring iPhone" (right before it begins to verify,) it got stuck. So, I unplugged the phone thinking it would go into Recovery Mode. However, for the last 3 hours it has had the same screen on the device that you would see if you were restoring the phone. I am trying to make the battery die, but it is taking forever, and I can't put the device into DFU mode because my sleep/wake button is broken. The phone is not under warranty and I do not know what to do. Please help!
Thanks.

Turn off iphone power button broken and touchscreen selectively unresponsive

I have an iPhone 4S w/ iOS 7, my power button has broken so I have enabled the Accessibility features in order to lock and unlock my phone.
That has been working fine. Now, my touch screen is selectively responsive. It IS NOT broken or damaged in anyway. I can access the pull down and pull up menus, I can ask Siri to search for something and I can scroll through the responses she returns. I can visit one of those web pages she returns and scroll inside of those as well.
However, any scrolling that is related to a Home screen function I can not perform. For example, I can't "flick" away apps to close them, I can't hold down the "Lock Screen" button which then presents the "Slide to turn off" slider, the touchscreen won't slide the slider... When I do access either the pull down or pull up menus, I can see them but I cannot select anything on them, the touchscreen is unresponsive. When my phone is locked I can't swipe to unlock it.
We do not have home POTS service, so this is my only means of calling for help if I needed to, and now I can't. This is a very unfortunate failure.

Hi there quixee,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

IPod 4th Gen power button broken, game center and some apps won't load.

iPod 4th generation, iOS 6.1.6, power button is broken (will not click at all, I can't let my iPod run out of battery because I won't be able to turn it back on).
Game center, and some of my apps will not load.
I also have issues with apps and Safari crashing, but that isn't a major problem.
For the apps not loading, I've tried deleting them, and then reinstalling them, but it didn't work.
Is there anything I can do about this?

To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
For Safari problem try going to Settings>Safari and Clear Cookies<data and History.
To turn on an iPod without a Power button just connect the iPod to a charging source

EMac power button broken off retaining ring!

Well, we managed soldered the broken power button cable I mentioned back onto the logic board (we did this by cutting off the connector and permanently soldering the cables to the correct spots on the board, BUT, the power button itself is now broken! Here are pics...

Behind the button.
http://pics.livejournal.com/wile_e2005/pic/00057fq6/
Retaining ring.
The cable is fine, but now it's the button that is the problem! Does this need to be soldered back on too, or is there some other way? Or should I shell out $20 for a new eMac power button?
It may be the shortened cable that caused this, and I am not sure how this can be worked around.

Is there a way to start the eMac WITHOUT the power drive temporarily? According to this quote from another website...
{quote} The only way to turn it on now is to place a wire (I used a wire twist tie.) that connects the Black and Red leads on the connector for the power button. This is done by placing the wire on the top of the connector where you can see metal showing. This will turn on the Mac. I would recommend turning on the option to have the mac reboot after a power failure and keep it plugged into a power strip that you turn off. (I use mine as a server so I never usually turn it off unless I need to do maintenance.)
So in other words, does this mean I could put a twist tie on the white connector thingy that goes to the power button retainer ring? Or is it more complicated than that?

Slide to unlock not working but I can slide to answer calls (power button broken) HELP!

Can anyone please help? 24 hours before my upgrade is due and my iPhone 5 has decided it won't let me slide to unlock...I can slide to answer a call no problem weirdly so Im thinking it isn't a fault with that part of the screen? My problem is compounded by the fact that the power on/off button hasn't worked in a while. this hasn't been a major issue until i am now trying to at least back up and then restore my phone. I can't enter the passcode to restore it! And i can't try lots of the suggestions I've seen which is holding the home and power button together as my power button doesn't work. I can't even sell the phone as faulty at the moment as i have no way of getting all my data off it!

Take the device to Apple to address the hardware issue.

IMac power button broken. What gives?

I purchased a 2006 intel iMac on craigslist. It worked fine the first day. Next day it wouldn't turn on.
Tried standard stuff like using different outlets, making sure cord was tight. When it's plugged in I can hear a very light high pitched whine (similar to what you'd hear when turning on old TVs) but there is zero response to the power button.
The button seems a bit odd, like it's pushed in to far, doesn't always bounce back, if I run my finger in circles the button seems to make it's way back up. I tried the unplug for 15 sec, plug in, wait 5 sec and hit power trick. No luck with anything. Any ideas?

To me it sounds like you have two choices:
1. Ask for your money back.
2. Work out a deal with the seller to pay for the repairs. (which most likely will, well could add up to as much as buying a new 21.5")

Fps 1000 power button broken

I know it's a pretty old system, but I like it a lot and I don't want to buy a new set-up if I can repair it. Anyway, the problem is that the power button doesn't function anymore. It sometimes makes a brief sound, but then it goes away, like it loses contact or something. I can get continuous sound, but then I have to press hard on the button to get it all the way in, but the moment I let go the sound disappears again. So my guess is there's a loose wire or connection. Since this baby is about 5 or 6 years old, it's way past it's warranty, so I thought I'd open it myself and see what can be fixed. My question is, how do I open it's It doesn't seem to have regular screws, so what do I need to screw it open?
Thanks in advance.

Paidor,
Unfortunately the FPS000's are just a little before my time (I came in about the time the FPS 2000's came out) and I can't really recall much about them. We don't have any working models here so there isn't much to go by. To be honest, replacing these speakers might be the cheaper option since I don't know how much it might cost to repair the switch or even if the switch can be repaired.
Most of our current speakers actually outperform these speakers as technology has progressed quite a bit since we made these speakers. You might check out www.cambridgesoundworks.com to see if there are any sets that would do what you want. You can also check out www.creative.com to see if there are any speakers there that fit the bill. One note, 4.1 speaker systems are slightly rare now as 5.1 has almost completely replaced it as the defacto surround standard.

N80 power button broken

is it possible to turn on an n80 without using the power button? because as far as I can see the phone still works its just annoying i cant turn it on
thanks for your help
will

I don't think there is a way, one have to physically depress that switch. Anyway it won't cost you your arm, if you have it fix at Nokia service centre.
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

Power button broken

I replaced the ram on my mac mini 1.66 duo. During the process i accidentally pulled the wire going from the power button to the curcut board. Can this be fixed? If so, how would i go about doing so? Finally, if i brought this into an apple store, could they fix this?

ran into the same issue recently. all the switch does is just close a circuit temporarily. plug everything in and jump it. its about as un-apple-certified as it gets (and you feel like you are stealing a car), but it works.
make something like this: http://i.imgur.com/BPSvh.jpg
and stick it in here: http://i.imgur.com/cLi8f.jpg
set the machine to start automatically on power failure and keep it running. i use mine as a media server, so its always on anyways.

HP Pavilion dv6-1360us Entertainment PC power button broken, power button board removed for use.

After working on my wife's laptop for the last week and not being able to find &amp;quot;the&amp;quot; solution online, let alone a pic of the power button board. I thought I'd try to share my shortcut with anyone that can benefit from it and hopefully avoid unnecessary repairs and costs. Of course we don't want even more money going to HP for no reason.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The problem:&lt;br&gt;My wife was messing with our dog and a little pop splashed on and under the left front of the laptop. This was near the power button and underneath near the ram cover and vents. We unplugged the laptop and removed the battery as soon as I'd learned what happened. We dried it as best we could and after awhile started it back up. It started for shorter and shorter periods of time until it wouldn't start at all. I spent the next couple days trying all the forum solutions like holding the power button down, removing and inserting the battery and power supply ...blah, blah , blah. Eventually I came across somebody talking about the power button board. At this point the laptop with the battery only did nothing and had no lights, noise ...nothing. If the power supply was plugged in we had a light next to the plug and a front left panel light on. If the battery was removed and it was only the power supply we had only the light next to the power supply input. Everything i found said it was the motherboard or GPU. I feared the worst lol. I took it part for the 4th time and looked at the power button board and noticed the side of the power button itself had cracked all the way through. I decided i would try and start it without the power button board or cable connected instead of the shorting out process blogs were talking about.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The solution:&lt;br&gt;I removed the DVD drive, hard drive, ram, keyboard, bezel and hard drive then 1 by 1 added the DVD drive, ram, hard drive ...etc. and each time used the remote control to power on the laptop. It worked!!! Eventually I had everything back together with the power button board and cable completely removed and the laptop was up and running. I put some superglue on the cracked power button and plan to order a new power button board and cable along with a new bezel and power button if necessary but for now we've got everything working and all the important files she was working on at the time have been recovered. I did pull the hard drive the first day and put it in a portable USB shell and copy all the files to our backup drive. Anyway if the same kind of things are happening to yours at least you won't have to go thru everything i did. Good luck and i probably won't be back very often if at all to reply to any questions or to be told how i could've done it easier/more efficiently.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Power2dapeeps! lol

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
IDT Audio Driver - Windows 7.
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again and check if the mute led now changes colour correctly.
Regards,
DP-K

Ipod touch 3rd gen home button and power button broken?

My iPod was working fine until a few weeks ago, when this started happening: every time you push the home button, it goes to the "slide to power off" screen, and then no matter if you slide to power off or if you click cancel, it shuts off after a few seconds and then tries to turn back on again. The same thing happens if you push the power/lock button for any amount of time. So, I can only run like 1 app unless I want to have to restart my whole iPod. In addition, sometimes when it tries to turn back on it tells me to plug it into iTunes, which I do and it tells me to restore it. I restored it, and then I unplugged it and it did the same exact thing, where any button press makes it turn off. I plugged it in again and it asked me to restore it again. Nothing seems to be working and I don't know if this is something that can be fixed or if I need a replacement?

You can turn it on via the Power button or by connecting the iPod to a charging source.

Apple logo keeps flashing and i cant restart because power button is broken

My apple logo keeps flashing on my phone for about 10 seconds at a time. I know most of you will tell me to hold the power and home button but the problem is my power buttons broken. Also, plugging it into my wall and laptop won't do anything. I'm not sure what else to try, any advice is appreciated.

There really isn't anything to do. You'll need to bring your phone to Apple for replacement.
