so i have an old XT912 and i thought the other day it would be cool to have it running linux

however the device has a broken power button

actually no power button was too rough with it back in the when i had little knowledge about opening phones

the button is gone lol i remember using using a small screw driver to get it to respond a few times and it just stopped after a while

i think i dug it right off the board do you thinks its worth it to attempt to fix it or is there another way to get it to respond to power
