The late 90’s have introduced to us the earlier versions of a cellular phone which were brick-likes and it has allowed us to call and text people without having to be connected with a wire. It is a nostalgic way to remember how far we have gone technologically-wise. However. The first ever mobile phone actually traces way, way back in April 3, 1973 by the giant company, Motorola, and made the first call from uptown Manhattan down to their headquarters in New Jersey. Thus, the history of our favorite gadget had started. From what started out as a bulky mobile device, our cellular phones right now have evolved to become as thin as a 90-paged pocketbook and maybe in the future, it could be as thin and as flexible as a paper as well, who knows?

We are all familiar how the old phones used to have many buttons or keypads, in fact, it was almost covered in buttons and keypads. From the silent keys, to the ones that felt like a rubber eraser to touch, to the plastic ones in Blackberry that were quite hard to press onto without chipping your $30 manicure within a day, the touchscreen without the need for a pen tool was finally introduced in 2007 under the now-technology giant, Apple Inc. These days, the only buttons you will only see on smartphones and iPhones are the home button (power button for androids) and the volume buttons for adjustment.

Yet, somehow, we still face problems with our buttons but it is much more of a hassle since overall there are only 3 buttons and for one to malfunction can be quite catastrophic. One of the most common problem is a broken or malfunctioning home button, this can totally disrupt you from operating your phone. So how do we fix or deal with this? Here, we will give you some tips that you can do before you bring it to a cell phone repair shop in Fayetteville.

Before you panic, it would be great to realize that maybe it is just caused by a dirt or a substance stuck inside the sides of your home button so try cleaning it with a rubbing alcohol and with a Q-tip, also known as a cotton swab. Do not use a water as it may only do more damage and it is not as volatile as alcohol. Wait a few minutes before you start testing the button again.

If not, try rebooting your phone. Just restart it and if by the time it has restarted and still the power button is not working, then we can only guess that it is time to bring it to a phone repair Fayetteville.
