I bought a replacement button set (power, volume up/down) from a seller on eBay. Worked great.

Hi guys,
Im wondering if any of you HD2 pros can help me out. My power button recently stopped working. Now I cant turn on my phone Is there anything AT ALL I can do to turn my phone on?
Thanks for any help at all.
Edit: After trying everything I could think of I found out that if you hit the soft reset button on the back while plugged into a power source it will boot up!
you can use an app..that powers on your hd2 with shaking the phone...it is in the themes and apps section....may use up a little battery
Is this what you meant?

Well I can wake the device by hitting the call key, my problem is once my phone dies or if it freezes and I have to pull the battery, I cant turn it back on since I have no power button. Has anyone else had their power button broke? Was it a hassle to get fixed? Thanks for any help guys!!
Yes, put your phone on charger and take out the battery and put it back in and it should turn on without holding the end key.

Hey guy...
You've stolen my idea.
I admit it
Hello
I live in israel and I buy my galaxy tab from US a couple weeks ago.
but in the last few days, my tablet won't turn on.
I tried everything that was writen on the fourms and tried to do everyting but still it won't turn on.
The only thing that it's happend when I connect it to the PC so is recognize it as APX MODE. I tried to do NVFlash but all the item I get :
nvflash --sync or nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --go just result in the message
Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)
I obviously bricked my P7510 to a near death status (black screen, no backlight, no logo, no nothing). The only response from the tab is a APX device showing up in the device manager.
What can I do ?! Please help !!
Thanks.
Just in case you missed my post a while back, try this:
Hold in the power button for five seconds... then while continuing to hold that in, hold in the volume down button for eight seconds...then let up the volume down button and continue to hold the power button in. It works for me.
Unless your battery is dead. Have you left it charging (theoretically) overnight, to make sure it has some juice for this procedure?
I've heard and experienced randomly that sometimes putting your finger on the screen while trying to boot helps.
Just hold that power button endlessly. Something will happen.

The GT was 2 days in charge... I tried to do that but still... nothing...
I have a final idea for you take your tab and set it on your coffee table.. Put a drink on it and enjoy the most expensive coaster youve ever bought.

Why ?! there is nothing to do about it ?!
Only send it to samsung to try repir it ?!
I guess your tab have "Sleep of Death" issue.
Try draining your battery
Try searching for "Sleep of Death", you will get many threads with solutions
Just hold the Power Button for 10sec, done

Thanks for this worked fine for me
Also tried this solution and it worked like a charm
I am also having this problem, My screen is black, no backlighting, no logo, just sound. I hear the start up sound when I try and turn it on. I somehow took a photo I think, but there is only sound nothing else any ideas?
Ahoi;
yesterday a huge thunderstorm soaked my clothes und apparantly went into my S2s power button too, since it's not working anymore.
I am now using the home button to put the phone into deepsleep, but as far as I know there is no way to use the home button to boot the phone.
How can I reboot my phone for example after an SOD? I am not sure if my S2 boots as usb device when plugging it to some PC. Could someone plz check that for me ?
No I doesnt work .. only way to fix it is to buy a new power button

As always I should have been patient! After some WD40, hot temperatures and TIME my Power button is working again!
Huray! S2 is like Sony Xperia Z; in a troublesome way. Sometimes ^^ I guess I was lucky.
Happy flashing
I have a new app installed, from the App Store, and have started this. After I wanted to enter my name the app hung up and since then the tab is dead. It can not be started anymore.
Home Button + Volume up + power button does not work either.
Does anyone have another tip? I've never had anything like that and it's not the first device in my hands.
It is not rooted. Is the normal software from Samsung on it.
I had it on my tab pro 12.2 and it turned out my micro-SD card had gone bad. Please remove it if you have one in your tab S3 and restart it.

Try power button + volume up + volume down at same time? Are you sure the battery is charged? Try a different charger and cable.
The tablet hung on the original charger half the night and the other half on a Sony charger. Each time a different cable is used. Unfortunately it stays dark on the tablet. Power button + volume up + volume down did not help.
How dead is it? I mean, is it turning on?
(the lack of a notification light on this tablet annoys me, as I think it would help in such a situation!)
I had something similar when I was rooting it..
There should at least be a factory reset layer. I got to it with volume up and home - no power button required. I believe I had to hold them for a long time, ten seconds or so. And if it shows life you then hold the power button. Apologies if that's what you tried, but you don't hold all three buttons at once is all!
I am inclined to believe if this doesn't work your tablet might not actually have any power. Which could imply, say, a battery issue.
It could be the other way around, oddly. The tablet is on, but the screen has hung with no display. Another combination to try is power and volume down.
The tablet is absolutely dead. No matter what combination of buttons. And no it was not rooted or something like that. Since I still have warranty, it arrived this morning in the repair workshop.
The tablet has now been repaired and replaced the motherboard.
