Question about
Power Button Not working
Recently I had the problem that the power button on my phone stopped working. I can press it and press it, but to no avail. This happened to a buddy of mine, and then one day it started working again. Has anyone else had this problem? Could it be possible that the same thing is happening with my power button that has happened to other peoples volume rockers? Could it just be that I have some dust in their and that spraying it with a can of air to clean it out might just fix the problem?
Take off the battery cover, pry it out with a pin, bend/add paper to center part of button and pop back in.
I had this problem after I dropped my phone directly on the button.

Thanks Chris, after popping off the button and loosing it for about 10 minutes, I got some paper in there and its working again. Its amazing how many things are fixed with the pre using only a couple pieces of paper.
You don't possibly know how to fix a problem i'm having with my phone shutting off whenever its slightly knocked (bumping into something while its in my pocket, closing the slider a little too hard etc)?
