I dropped the flyer yesterday which isn't uncommon and it seemed fine after and I used it normally for the rest of the day. This morning I picked it up noticed a crack and the touchscreen won't respond so I can't unlock it.
Power on and rotation is working fine but I can't manage a reset as it is locked.
I was about to scarper off and look at Nexus 7/Kindle Fire HD prices but checking here it might be a matter of a glass screen/digitiser replacement? Is this correct?
Sounds like digitizer to me.
You can try a factory reset from hboot, as hboot only uses the volume and power buttons to navigate.
Hold down power button until the Flyer powers off. When the screen is black, hold down the volume down rocker (don't let go of it, until I say so later). The Flyer will either reboot itself, otherwise you can press power for a few seconds and release to power on. Keep holding the vol down rocker, until the white hboot screen appears.
I ordered a replacement Digitizer and will attempt this when I have time. I was able to do a HTC sync so it seems to be alive but I'm reluctant to hard reset as the I'm probably losing the dat for nothing.

Hey, new guy here.
So about 2 weeks ago my EVO 4g LTE's power button started acting crazy. I would have to push it really really hard to make it turn on. Sadly it has gotten to where now it just doesn't turn the phone on at all. I have since downloaded an app from the market to use the volume keys to turn it on from sleep mode, but cannot turn it off without being able to turn it back on (the app only supports waking the phone up). I've taken it apart, cleaned it and still no luck. No matter how hard I press it, it just won't turn on. The button also no longer gives that slight "click" when pressing it.
I ordered a new button, took it apart, replaced the button and still nothing. It still doesn't even click. I'm wondering what the part underneath the power button is called. Would that be the power button flex cable. I'm speaking of the part the button actually touches to produce the power on/power off effect and the mild click it gives when pressed.
I bought the phone used and when I took it apart, it appeared to be tampered with at this same location. It looked like this section had a black coating on it where the power button would touch but had been rubbed/scrapped off, showing copper.
If anyone knows what this part is please let me know so I can order/replace it.
Thanks in advance
Hi All,
I have an LG Optimus G E970 on the AT&T network, all stock. I recently dropped it and, of course, the digitizer glass cracked. The screen still worked just fine, and I could turn it on and off without a problem but no touch at all. As I was trying to shut it down without using any buttons by just holding the power button, it started acting strangely. I would turn it off (screen timeout) by just pressing on the power button, but when I would wake it up (by again pressing the power button) the cap. buttons on the bottom would light up, but the screen would stay dark. I chalked it up to the digitizer being messed up.
I have since installed a new screen/digitizer assembly, and it works great when I turn on the phone. However, as soon as the screen goes to sleep, I get the same problem - cap. buttons light up, but the screen stays black. All the buttons are working, as I can here them clicking, and I can turn up the volume, etc, I just can't get the screen itself to light up.
Has anyone run across this problem, or have any suggestions? I've already, reluctantly, tried a hard reset, which did not solve the problem, as well as any other little fixes that I found in this and other forums. I'm thinking it's a software issue of some sort, since the screen and everything work great when the phone is on, but I don't really know. I wanted to see is there were any answers out here before I tried rooting and installing a new ROM, which might be problematic anyways if the screen doesn't come back on.
TIA,
George G.
I took apart my GS4 today and discovered that the problem causing my phone to turn off on the boot screen is the power button. This was a complete random and freak occurrence. I have had a case on my phone since the day I bought it and I can't see why the button would be damaged. I removed the physical button (the one you depress with your thumb / finger) and still the phone would turn off incorrectly. The issue has to be with the power button, but it's soldered on and I have no idea what to do or how to go about repairing it.
[AT&T] V10 Screens won't power on but phone vibrates once when power button pushed
BONE STOCK ROM. One day my V10 screens were unresponsive. The mini screen was updating time correctly but wasn't responsive to touch, and the power button would not wake the main screen.
I removed the battery for 30 seconds then replaced, pressed power button. I had one short vibration then nothing. Neither screen comes alive. Removal of battery and replacement followed by pressing power button always gets a single vibration like it's powering up, but screen never comes alive.
Has this happened to anyone else? I am also wondering if in repair, someone could somehow access my data... I have sensitive information but the system is security locked with screen pattern.

Sounds like your LCD and digitizer has went out need to get it replaced . No they can not access your phone all they will do is replace the LCD digitizer and power it on to see if it comes on once it does there job is done . Replacing or repairing repairing screen will not erase anything because all your info is saved on the motherboard
Brand new s3.
power button doesn't seem to work. Anyone else?
not a known issue, take it back.
You realise you need to hold the POWER button down for a length of time?
Same problem. I haven't installed any apps or anything not either previously installed on another phone or tablet. Button isn't stuck, just totally unresponsive. Guess a trip to best buy is in my future
Add me to the list. My power button stopped working a few days ago.
I thought mine had died until I realised the batter had gone flat but I'm quite sure that's not the issue here.
Yea happened to me too. Maybe some water spilled. If not you have been abusing the power button. Better get a sleep wake cover like a finite and don't let the battery die. Power button issues went away after a few hours. Trick is to keep insisting the tab that power button still works don't give up.
Also press it in centre don't go wayward while pressing.
If you got issue with power button and got warranty get it changed for a replacement device... DO NOT GO FOR REPAIR SAME DEVICE.
Also if you connect charger and remove and connect trick is to learn how it works tab s3 should turn on without power button required. Just make sure you got that fingerprint unlock also keep screen timeout less if u don't have auto sleepwake cover
