The power button broke on my Note 3, i reassemble the phone hopping to fix the problem, i found out the small dome shape piece of metal is out of its place and there is no way to put it back, also there is a tiny piece of clear reddish plastic to cover that metal dome, i found the whole circuit in amazon and i ordered one.
i closed the phone back after connecting all connectors back, i did that very carefully.
when i connect the charger (the phone is off) a gray battery icon shows for a couple of seconds then the phone screen become bright white for few seconds then turned off, the charging LED indicator is off. usually the battery icon changes to green with 5 green dots underneath it indicating the phone is charging.
if i disconnect the charging cable and put it back nothing happened, if i disconnect and connect the battery then plug the charger, the gray icon an white screen scenario above happened again.
I remove the battery overnight and tried it this morning, i got the same behavior again.

any help is really appreciated.

Phone: unlock ATT note 3 with custom ROM.

I found out that the battery is really charging, but neither led nor the screen are indicating anything, I figured it out when i noticed the battery is worm,
Also i was able to manage to boot my device by connecting the charger while pressing the Volume down and home button, i was able to go to download mode then restart the phone using volume up.
the phone is charging fine when it is on.
Not sure about the main issue if it caused by the Power button or something else.

Update:
I have a bad ROM causing too many problem, I flashed to NC2 4.4.2 and every thing is working, no wonder why nobody has this issue.
Thanks,
