I had dropped my S2 back 5 years ago and cracked the screen but didn't know how to fix it but I went to try to power it on and noticed the power button doesn't click. Do you how to make it power on without the button? Like maybe touching two metal prongs to make it turn on? I have no desire to buy a new button or a screen for a phone this old but I just wanted to see if I can check what I have on it. Think I have lots of pictures I never got had an SD card to put them on a the time. If you know of any ideas to just get it on or maybe take the volume down button off and put it in the power button. I am bored anyways because of the epidemic.
Hi, thanks for the very useful post. I have the symptoms and problem, and need to replace switch on my S2. Was unsure of how to remove case and circuit board. Your video is very helpful. First question is did you ever successfully clean the switch using fine spray contact clean and fine spray compressed air? What is the tape for? Can a pencil soldering iron be used to un/resolder? Cant justify buying soldering device you used. Noticed you used metal alligator clips to hold the circuit board. Any concern of short circuiting residual power from caps on board? Noticed you reused original solder and did not clean off old solder and use new. And concerns there? Not bashing you, no gotcha! Just gathering understanding and data before taking my S2 into the OR. Thanks again.
+Preston Ren I generally clean any surfaces with denatured alcohol and an anti-static brush. The tape helps to keep heat off of the parts I don't need it on It could, it would just be a little more tedious. I haven't run into any issues to date, but that could be something to watch out for. My experience has been, that as long as you provide enough heat that they both melt entirely, then they bond together quite well. You could always use some copper to remove residual solder if you wanted to be extra careful. Good luck!

@7:30... I definitely would have been saying a few 4-letter words at that point. How the heck did you find that thing so fast after it fell?
+Eman Ymton Lots of experience dropping tiny parts on our floor haha.
Always keep an eye on your parts. it you see it fall, let it fall, but make damn sure you saw where it went.
