I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and it has been great! Recently I was clumsy and broke the screen- I paid a local store to repair it. The repair was flawless, except that the power button didn't click as well. I didn't see it as a big problem until the power button completely flipped over, and now it won't click at all. I did the wrong thing and turned the phone off- and since the power button is the only way to power on the phone, my phone doesn't start. This happened a few days ago.
I've tried a lot of things to start it- different Note 3 batteries (my dad has the same phone), charging (different chargers too), and a soft reset. The phone doesn't respond to the power button- I can feel it doesn't click. I have called my carrier and Samsung and they offer no warranty at all. Since then I have opened the phone to the mobo and taken the power button out, and positioned it better (guide of YouTube tutorial), and it looked better- but I still had no luck getting a response. I plan to take it back to the local place that repaired it and having them fix it.
Until then, is there anything I can do myself? I know that on a computer you can short two circuits with a screwdriver- is there anything I can do like that? Fixing the power button isn't an option, I've tried that a lot and haven't been successful.
Thank you for your time! If you think you have any ideas let me know- I really appreciate it. Thank you so much!!
