N-7650 'on-off' prob!

[akshay]

Is there any other way (besides on-off button) to switch on Nokia 7650???????
As my phones ‘On-Off’ button is not working!

Lol, the infamous 7650 power button. I managed to crush mines twice and my mate three times, possibly the biggest build flaw on the 7650.
You probably already know about the restart function on most file explorers, the only other way I can think of is to use a pin. I remember one of the times when mines was broken I stuck a pin in the front end of the power button and managed to reach the mircoswitch below.

After 2 years of using the 7650 i finally mastered the art of turning it off and on. Try and get your finger on the whole "on/off" button rather than just one point on the button. Or you could use fExplorer or Slauncer which provide the reset functionality.

Another alternative is to take the battery or SIM card out while the phone is on (not highly recommended)!
