Answer to "Nokia lumia 625 power button not working. How to repair?" Oct 3, 2016
Hi, You can try to disassemble the device and to reconnect the Volume/Power buttons and the LCD flex cables. Use this manual, step 3, pic. 3 Under the battery there are two flex cables. The yellow one is for the volume/power buttons the the small board in the bottom (mic, antennas, USB connector, etc.). The black one is for the LCD. Both of them are connected to the main board, under the main camera. Try do disconnect and reconnect them. You don't need to remove the battery, only disconnect it.

Answer to "Why is my phone giving me weird messages when started up?" Mar 4, 2016
Hi, Maybe you have a problem with the volume buttons. What do I mean, Android devices can be entered into Test mode by pressing a combination of hardware buttons, like Volume Down + Power or Volume Up + Power. Maybe you have a liquid or other damage with the volume buttons, one of them seems pressed when you try to turn on the phone. Try this, before switch on the phone, press the volume up and the volume down buttons stronger 2-3 times. If the problem persist, the device needs repair service. Regards.
