My Phone was always covered by a Flipcase, yesterday i took it out cause the Powerbutton did not react. But now it dont work anymore. At first it worked after 10 times pushing, but now i have to wait for any message, that the display come out oft “sleep” mode… what can i do ?? i dont know if i can fix it alone :( i dont want to loose this phone, its really New… Please help me.
the power button on the idol 3 can be finicky as they are prone to failing. they ARE soldered to the circuit board so I would advise finding a local electronics repair shop or good friend with minimal soldering experience- seeing as the actual replacement is as simple a solder job as one could imagine . the component replacement, itself, is about $8.00 online. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alcatel-One-Touc…
I was having the same issue for almost a week now. My phone is visibly in great condition (screen in tack, no cracks or scratches, etc.), but the power button just gave out on me. The only time I was able to use it was if I plugged it into the battery. Finally, i decided to download an app by searching “Power Button to Volume Button,” and voilà it works. I now use my up or down volume to turn my phone on! I hope this helps you, too.
