Default [Q] Sqeaky Power Button

I'm pretty OCD about my gadgets and my Samsung Focus has been driving me crazy. Whenever I press the power button, a squeaky plastic sound is made. I'm just wondering if this is normal.

Jeez I love the phone but not the materials.

That is friction, which might be developing due to dust and lint. I suggest you lube the button just a little bit, since its plastic it will start to give away shine if you do not get rid of that squeaking. Remember to lube it just a tad bit and shall be fine.

Thanks! That did the trick and to think I posted here on accident. You gave a response at least where as the folks back in the focus page haven't said anything.

Thanks again.

Useful thread. I too have a squeaky power button on my focus. What did you use for lubrication and can you say how you did it? I'd love to fix it on my phone as it is driving me crazy but I'm really nervous about using any kind of liquid.

Cheers,
