Help Phone Stuck in Safe Mode (Volume Keys not working)

Recently, my phone Samsung Galaxy E7 entered into safe mode due to a non functional volume key. I tried restarting the device many times but it still turns back into safe mode. Later I entered into Recovery Mode using "adb reboot recovery" but I was not able to move through options due to non functional volume keys. A little help would be appreciated.
 
Not that easy for everybody or for all phones (after all, most phones these days can't be opened by unscrewing). Though an older basic Samsung like this is probably easier than many.
 
The E7 is sealed, so the OP will have to remove the display as shown in the attached video to get to the internals. It also looks like the switches are soldered to the motherboard and protected with shielding. If it's a mechanical switch failure, you'd need to replace it and I would guess finding the appropriate part would be difficult if not impossible for the general consumer.
