Power button stuck

Hi!
I have a QTek S200 that had it's speaker dead and the power button was stuck. The stuck power button means that no matter when or how I pressed it NOTHING HAPPENED but sometimes randomly (when I was nowhere near the button) an "Are you sure you want to shutdown?" dialog appeared like I had the button pressed.
I sent the phone to service and they changed the speaker and told me that the button requires a motherboard change and it costs somewhere around $500. That was obviously too much money so I told them to send it back like that.
My phone arrived and the power button was working perfectly (so far as I know they did nothing about it) for a few months. Then again the power button died and started behaving the same way (this time there was no problem with the speaker).
I'm using a custom ROM but I also tried with the original I backed up after I got the phone, but seems the problem is not in the software. Anyone has any idea what can cause this and if it's possible to fix it?

It's almost certainly hardware. If you feel like opening up your Prophet, you could check whether the power button is connected correctly...
$500 seems way too much given that it's possible to get a device for less than that!

I did open up my Prophet and the connection is fine.

Is the button on the case connected properly? It may be pushing in constantly rather than being where it should be.

both the case connections and motherboard connections seem to be OK..

I'd guess that it's the switch internals, or the mother board in general...

If it's the switch, I think you should be able to find a replacement... If it's the mother board, it may be cheaper to get a new device...

The Touch Pro will be good!
You could possibly try removing the power button connections all together, and see if that rectifies the problem... So you wouldn't be able to turn it off, but there is software to do that!

This is a very good idea indeed! I only wonder what about the screen? I can't really remember if you can turn on your screen with the other keys when it's off (I used to open/close my SD card slot to bring the screen to life when I was stuck with the phone)?

You can change the lock settings for keys (so that other keys can wake up the device) in Start->Settings->System (tab) and the "Power" option (I think).

Good luck with that!

one thing i forgot to mention with this was that my batter usage was INSANE when the power button is in "stuck mode".. on idle the phone goes dead in cca 72 hours..
when it first came back with the fixed speaker (and button) the battery issue was gone.. but now the button is stuck again the power issue is back!

Maybe it is shorting contstantly and so draining the battery?

that is also my idea but nothing can be seen on the motherboard or the housing.. maybe it's the switch itself that is broken and that means i have to unsolder it and see what happens then.. :S

Umm... I'd guess the hardware itself is screwed if nothing else has an effect...

I came home, put the battery in (after it was out for a month and a half) and everything works just fine. WTF??

[Q]

Hey all.
I have a little problem with my phone. Now i have dropped it but that was over a month ago and this problem only arrived last night.
Basically my screen loads with coloured vertical lines, except where the start menu is at the top, that bit is fine. I've added a picture so you can see what i mean. The screen is still responsive to touch but obviously i still cant see anything lol
I've tried a soft reset with the reset button on the back and i also tried a hard reset and niether have worked. If someone could help me without me having to fork out money to send it for repair i would be most gratefull

The LCD is gone, sorry but you have to replace it.
BTW, I don't see any picture.

Definitely broken, just do a small test to be sure. Switch off the phone and boot in Bootloader (4Colors) with Volume Down and Power On botton. If the screen still the same is broken, if not you can try to format it and reinstall the rom, but to me is gone.

[Q]Thin blue line on screen

Today morning wokeup with a bright day,
I saw my phone working normal
I have mahdi rom on my phone..
But theres no issue with rom or any mod is what im sure about..
I looked at my phone..
And im having a very thin blue line on the right of the screen which is probably a hardware issue as it doesnt get captured in the screenshots..
And my power button doesnt work anymore any better.. After fighting with it and has been same since 6 months.. It works..
And the line came from today morning..
When i boot the phone its in red at google logo and fades away n when completes the boot.. It comes from start with blue everywhere on screen..
I have been using the phone like 2 years and so please help me with the problem if anyone else may have came across

Do a factory reset and report back! ?

it does appear even on the twrp,bootloader and even on boot logo of circles too,
so will a factory reset solve it?

I don't think so, it is probably a hardware issue. Maybe you can check the inner parts of the phone or send it to a repair service. It seems like the connector between the motherboard and the screen is the reponsible.

there seems hardware issue happening. So, you should send your phone to care service for repairing.

[Q] LG G2 Screen Freeze (I'm starting to hate this phone)??

Hi guys

Something else that may be relevant is....
That it will always boot the LG logo so what ever is going wrong kicks in just after the LG logo
Even when the screen is completely dead i can get the lg logo up by holding the power button.

..

I've the same issue...
Hello Inked
I've exactly the same freezing on my D802 for more than one month now... And I have no idea what's happening too...
I brought it to a phone shop, he told me it's certainly a motherboard issue, he can repair it for 250€!... Way too expensive for me!
So, I decided to find a motherboard by myself and I don't find... I'm trying at this point to find the same phone with a broken screen to mix components.
It's a D802 32GB and it's quite rare in Europe unfortunatly.
So if someone has an idea how to fix this I'm at your disposal! And I can imagine it's the same for Inked.
I will try to post a video of the freezing problem tomorrow.

Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56259958&postcount=18. Read the guide to fix your phone

Are you sure it's the same issue?
Here is a video I've made of what's happening, the phone is not rooted (never been), flashed with rom stock EUROPE OPEN 20D, and hard reset:

Your touch screen have dead zones. Replace touch screen to fix. Use Quickmemo draw any thing on touch screen to see dead zones

I think touch screen is working because (it's not clear in the video) you can use the phone "normally" but the image stay frozen.

What do you guys think?

Inked_ said:
Thanks for all the replies Winking smile
I've tried using your link but when i try and click the “1. click here to view picture” link i just get a 404 error.
Having said that, its not that the screen has dead spots, the screen freezes and just looks like a screen shot until you turn the screen off for a few second and then turn it back on.

Thanks for that...
But as atchoop says the screen is freezing as if you have taken a screenshot and doesn't start working again unless you turn the screen off for a few seconds.

A bit of an update......

I got the same effect as yours during few weeks then it comes back as my video shows because (I think...) I didn't use the phone for a while.
But I still don't know if it's mainboard or screen...

I tried a new screen today but I have the same problem with just getting the LG logo and then a blank screen

Still no ideas ??
