I have a bit of an emergency. The power button on my old Galaxy S4 failed, and as a result I cannot turn on my cell phone. What are my options here?
1) Is there any other button sequence that acts as an alternative to power on the device?
2) Is there anything I can do with the cover off to trigger power on?
3) A quick browse online suggests that the power button might be a replaceable part? Can someone link a decent quality power button replacement that can be shipped overnight from Amazon?
4) Assuming I cannot power on the device, and I get a replacement phone, does that mean I have effectively lost all of the data on the phone? If I get a replacement, is there any utility in that replacement being another S4? In other words, would having the additional S4 give me any additional recovery options from the dead phone?
