> K700i Power Button Broke
Bookmark topic
I dropped my K700i phone, and the power button broke (the physical button). Does anyone know if there is another way to turn this phone on (via keypad buttons or accessory port)?
If not, does anyone know how to replace the power button?
Also, I have no warranty on this phone : (

Congrats! You are the first reported case. Take it to SE service centre, pay the charges and get it fixed.

You can try to short the contacts, it may fire up. But in case the phone hangs, you will have to short it again. Also, there is an led in the button. So that might complicate things. Best option is the service centre.

Well, it fell from my backpack when I bent down to pick up a tennis ball.
I'm in the US and the phone cannot be fixed here, it's not on the market yet. So the service center is in Hong Kong. I went back to the people that sold me the phone here and one guy did open the phone and managed to power it on, so all I had to do was never take the battery off, he said. But today, just 3 days later, I charged the phone and when I took the cable out from the phone it just turned off by itself.
Any other ideas????
Thanks,
Anca

Ask the guy who powered it up in the first place to teach you to do it. Eventually you will master it.
