Guys. Want to ask something. My power button got problem. Somehow it shorted ? Meaning i need to press it repetitively then my phone can turn on. Else it stuck in bootloop.

Not just stuck in bootloop problem. I can't access RECOVERY MODE nor DOWNLOAD MODE because my power button got problem. It keeps making my phone restart for like infinity times.

I even pulled out batt for whole night and next day try put in back. But still same problem occurred. If got luck then it will manage to enter DOWNLOAD MODE for ONE time only. Then back to bootloop.

Went to Samsung for quotation. Have to replace motherboard because my power button comes together with the motherboard. DAYUMMMMM.....

So what i want to know is that. Does Samsung gives u 1 year warranty coverage for motherboard after done replacement..??

I got quote RM648.30 for the motherboard.

Kindly advice. =)

not independent wan ahh.. the power button is soldered on the motherboard. I request my old motherboard returned back to me. I just changed new motherboard today. Heck care shit d. LOL. Now i won't be changing any phone soon for another 2 years at least. S3 still can work like a horse. No urge to change yet. i can snap the photo of the motherboard but google also can find.

Where u guys get the extended battery ?? Seems pretty good. 3000mah over 2100mah

oh.. mine not this. mine is not the power button on the casing wan. mine is the direct powerswitch soldered onto the motherboard. After i change, then my friend told me he got a shop, his good friend's shop got fix the switch alone. But fixing this small switch also he told me estimate around 100+. dayumm.

But i will see how. Maybe if i can get back my data in my old motherboard, i'd consider find the rest of the spareparts and then put it inside a phone and sell it. not sure how. will see how. not so soon tho. just break the bank for the new motherboard.

Here are some high resolution photos of the motherboard. I hated those low quality ones available online. Dammmmnnn.. Hahaa.. =) The switch i mentioned is the one above my watermark ; a small white color switch

haha.. me too. I only recognise Exynos. LOL. Can't determine which is the ram and memory. lol..

that switch is your phone power button lorrr... Thats how you turn on/off your phone. the button on the right side of your phone. I bought new motherboard because my switch spoiled ONLY. SO, dont press your power button too often. it will spoil anytime soon.
