(Pixel 7a) I dont care about the Flash. But i need the power button and volume buttons to work. I did everything according to the manual. I cant restart the device. I used repair mode to fix the issue but it didnt work. What other techniques could i try to fix this
Is this a good question?
I just repaired my battery and now I have the same issue. Luckily for me my power button is working. But my volume buttons are still non-functional
Was this answer helpful?
So... Here is the issue I had. The Connection for the volume buttons was broken from the right side of the battery where it routes around. I changed it. But I had to open the whole phone to fit that stupid new part in. But it worked. Now my flat is blue because the part I bought was from eBay. I believe you must have broken that connection close to the power button which links the volume buttons. Best thing to do is replace the whole part. Be careful not to break anymore wires. It's going to be tricky and there are no tutorials on it.
I think I may have broken the same part. Not sure yet. But what article name or search word did you find it under on ebay?
Try the keywords 'Volume Buttons Flex Replacement Repair'
I broke same part.
Going by your name I'll assume your post was actually in German but since my devices are set to English it got translated? In that case: if you can't find it on Amazon locally try the .com version.
I'm looking at a part for £15. But will have to order it in GB.
Also looks like we will have to take it all apart AGAIN and then some more because it's connected to the battery but below the battery 🙄 and it comes with a new flash.....
Anyway, hope that helps! I'll wait some days and see if any more suggestions or comments pop up before I order
I have had the same problem. I changed the battery and initially the volume button failed, but power button was OK. The main thing I used the volume button for was screenshots, so as a work around I enabled screenshots by double tapping on the back of the case. But today the power button has also failed. Again I found a workaround to put it to sleep, using the swipe down menu, which has a power button icon bottom right and an option to lock down the phone. Only when I tried the shutdown option did I realise it was impossible to restart it :-0 So I pulled it all apart to see if I could fix the buttons - no luck, I think I'll need to buy replacements - but the good news is that when I put it back on a charging lead it rebooted and is now powered up again :-) I hope these workarounds can help someone!
Unfortunately the part on Amazon UK which Ann linked to above is currently unavailable, but it does help to see how the switches and flash are all joined into one weird component!
Hi everyone, let's clear the air, we aren't professionals WE BROKE THE CABLE while replacing the battery or whatever, if you want to fix the volume buttons you have to replace them and that is only done by buying the whole piece. https://ebay.us/m/aJv2GB . Where is the link to that component. It's about £12 however the flash is attached and it might turn out to be blue.
