Broken Power Button

[iamwhoamnot]

My power button has been acting funky lately, i thought it was just a software issue until i switched my battery today and realized it was hardware. now i cant turn on the phone.

Is there anyway to power on the phone via fastboot or some usb command? i need to get some files off the device before the device swap but i dont know how to turn it on without the power button =[


any ideas?

One of the bloggers on Droiddog.com had the EXACT same question. Yes it's possible... read her method here:

Basically:

Plug the phone in– USB or AC works fine.
Wait until the charging light comes on.
Remove the battery, while leaving the phone plugged in.
Replace the battery.
After about 3-4 times, the phone should boot.

it worked!!!!!!! fourth time it started right up. thank you so much you saved my life

if you take it out and wait till right after the charging light goes off then put it back in it seems to start up a couple seconds later!

Glad you got it up and running. Sorry I misunderstood the question.
