Help Power Button Quit Working (Rooted)

[wiltedmagnolia]

Stopped working last night. Did a factory reset just to see, nada. Took SIM, memory card and battery out, nothing.

I am ok with technical things, but I am not a wiz, so if there are lots of things that need to be done, I need steps

I do not have insurance and I cannot get a new phone until October. I cannot afford to pay $300 for a new unlocked phone at this point.

I have someone that will take it apart for me, and replace the power button, but the only place I've found so far wants $15 shipping. Now i don't mind paying, but that's a little crazy.

Sorry to hear about the broken power button, wiltedmagnolia...

Take your time and keep looking if the cost is still too high for you. Perhaps there are some do-it-yourself videos that might make you comfortable enough for you to try?

Best of luck!

I took it apart myself, 7 screws, nothing to it. I don't know what was wrong with it still, maybe it had just come loose, but it's working now
