Help: power button problem
 

My nokia n9 power button doesnt work as in hardware ,I must have pressed it too much,when I press it i dont feel the click

So here's my question is there any way to turn on the nokia n9 without a power button because right now its turned off and when I connect it it simply shows the charging logo.

It would be nice if I didn't need to disassemble or flash the device.
also I'm gonna change the cover/housing in a few weeks so i can fix that power button.

In the meantime is there anyway to turn on/off the n9 with for example ; after pressing the volume - for 7 seconds the device turns off or on

PS: if there is a software way to turn on the n9 im on pr1.3
Also a few days ago i was able to turn on the device my pushing rly rly really hard on the power button and eventually the white led on the bottom left would lit up and power on the n9. Unfortunately that was very lucky because i can't seem to do it again.

thanks in advance
would be great if i was able to make it boot or reboot via flasher

Re: Help: power button problem

i tried that but it got stuck at the ''suitable usb something something not found waiting ...''

Re: Help: power button problem
 

You should plug in the device only after the above message comes up...

alright i did that but now when i plugged the n9 the led stayed on for 1/3 sec and after that its blinking on/off every 1/15 sec like if it was telling me a morse code or trying to stay on but somethings bothering it

Re: Help: power button problem
 

are you sure your battery is not actually dead?

Maybe the reserve power has been emptied hence no turn on occurring...

You can investigate this by doing:

flasher -f -F main.bin -R

plug in the phone after the suitable bla bla message comes up...

it should show you the battery level..If its less than 11% no flash will occur and it will charge the device instead...Once it reaches 10% of battery level, plug it out and charge it using a wall charger...

I charged it and i tried
but now screen is black,doesnt even show a charging logo
the white led is like trying to stay still but it can't,its like blinking fast kindof
also when i pressed enter after typing the command,it didnt ask about device bla bla it just made another line of Nokia\Flasher>

what is Flasher- R?


my power button is stuck and i need to turn it back on. how can i trun the phone without the button?

Please RTFM. Flasher is a program you run on a PC to reflash the device. The -R command-line option makes the phone reboot.
