I have 2 omnias. One I got to open and disassembly it, so that I can play a little bit with the parts. The problem is that I broke the so thin flex cable that connects to the on/off and reset button. So, I can't turn on the device.
My question is:
Is there any other way to turn on the device without pressing the on/off button or reset button?

and, if anyone here knows where I can get another flex cable for this phone (i searched everywhere and coundn't find it for sale).

Thank you!


For those who are waiting for my directions to make a split tv-out cable with charger (car or wall), I got it and it works smile.gif
I'll post the directions on the apropriate post.

plugging the charger in sometimes wakes up the device.
