Background:
I was recently faced with a dead power button on my beloved Galaxy Nexus and was forced to repair it myself due to the fact that my phone wasn't covered by warranty here and Samsung was charging a butt load to do it themselves.
I went on iFixit and saw how easy it was to repair the phone and scoured the internet for parts.
The website I used for all the parts and tools seen in this video is https://www.tvc-mall.com/
You can get everything from there.
Sorry for the shoddy camera work and poor lighting (the video was shot by my friend using his Galaxy S3).
Also, I forgot to mention the reason why my power button looks different from everyone else's and I will do that in another video hopefully. If I never get around to it; here is the explanation.
I actually repaired the original power button by taking it apart. Let me tell you, it wasn't an easy task as it requires a delicate hand and a lot of patience.
What I did was, I used a razor blade to cut open the plastic tape covering the power button membrane. After that, I used some WD40 on a small ball of cotton and scrubbed both the membrane and the circuit out. Then I wrapped it back up with electrical tape and used it until I got the parts ordered in.
I hope this video serves its purpose and that all of you who faced this problem were able to fix it.
