Hi guys
Today i am going to tell you solution of weird power button
problem and its solution
Problem description:
one fine morning i went out and when i came back my phone wasn’t
responsive of the power button sleep wake action, i pulled the battery out and
when i put it back in it started by itself, when the phone was on home screen
it wasn’t able to put the phone on sleep by power button.
Other symptoms of this problem are, phone taking screenshots
by itself when user is pressing haptic back / home key
it got me frustrated as power button seemed fine but the
problem persisted.
Solutions that didn’t worked:
NOW YOU SHOULD FIRST TRY THESE then move on (if these doesn’t
work then move to solution )
i searched bunch of forums and got no specific reply.
i have used an old credit card to support the battery back,
but apparently that solution was meant to work on unintentional restarts not
the screenshots and phone being weird
Formatted the phone, formatted the data, sd card, cache,
dalvik cache and everything but the problem was their
So now coming to solution
- Remove the cover and battery
click on the image to enlarge - Take a q-tip (ear cleaner) and some volatile solution (in my
case i used nail polish remover-as alcohol wasn’t available :D )
click on the image to enlarge - Screen facing towards you, just by the side of front facing camera there will be plastic covering the power button.
- Use some needle to move the marked area towards you (
careful as you may break the plastic, in that case don’t hold me responsible )
click on the image to enlarge - by moving the plastic, the one portion should come out while exposing the power button.
- Dip q-tip in cleaner and clean the power button and inside
of the plastic (apparently there must be some dirt or moisture which is causing
the screenshots and abnormality
click on the image to enlarge - After thorough cleaning put the other part of plastic back
in by following same above procedure but in reverse.

Voilà your phone should work properly
