If you decide to take it into sprint MAKE SURE YOU UNROOT AND GO BACK TO STOCK. Sprint will probably blame the rom for your faulty power button if you dont.

Mine did the same thing. Took it back and am now waiting for a new one. It's been a week wait so far because the phone is on back order. I brought mine in rooted on the FL16 leak and they didn't give me any problems, although it might depend on the tech you get.

You got lucky, some of the techs can be real, um, **** monkeys, when it comes to doing anything to your phone. I have a skin and one guy tried to tell me the lack of touch screen sensitivity was due to that, even though the part where I was having issues wasn't covered by the skin. I'd say go back to stock just to be safe.

If the power button doesn't work, how does one turn the phone on in order to unroot and return to stock? Or is the assumption that the phone is already turned on when the problem surfaces, so it can't be turned off?

Have you tried connecting it to the computer?

Sorry, I don't understand. I've never tried connecting a powered-down Android device to a computer. Would that make it power up?

When my screen wouldn't turn on using the power button I tried plugging it in to both power and to the computer and it turned the screen on. That's what I meant.
