Issue:
Hey guys, I've had my HTC Desire for around a year now, and use it as an mp3 player a lot, specifically I use it to play workout tapes while I work out.

Today I was using it, and the volume kept turning itself down. I turned it back up, and a few seconds later, back down to nothing. Repeated that a few times, and it kept happening.

I played with the volume buttons and they don't feel jammed at all, the vol. down button is clicking fine, doesn't feel stuck or anything. And if that wasn't bad enough, I tried turning my phone off and on, but when turning it on, it still thinks it's held down so it will only boot into (i think it's called boot menu?)

Really need help asap, as I'm a mechanic and work for myself, so all my customers call me on my mobile, so as long as it's not working, neither am I

its better to go to htc care center.... and let them help you

the reason i think there is small rubber like conductor used when we press button it act as conductor b/w two electric links on the chip ... so in your case that conductor might got struck there and causing this problem

not a big problem .. dnt worry !

hope this helps!

Is there any chance i'd be able to fix this myself?

Probably without too much dificulty, but it will void any warranty.
Have a look here:
