power button broken

[nemirn]

Well, since my phone got wet, the only thing that is wrong is that the power button does not work.

I can power up the phone by momentarily plugging it into a power source (USB) and then removing the cable, and the phone boots up just fine.

Is this a difficult repair? How much can I expect to pay?

Thanks!

Warranty? If yes send to LG for replacement. You may end up having other issues down the line. Water is no good
If no warranty, the entire board would need replaced---meaning new phone

All VM support does is, remove battery and hold power button for 30 seconds.

Oh, that did nothing? Send it back to us for a replacement lol.

last method.

root phone. remap the power button to side speak button or front search button etc. etc.
