How to turn on a phone with broken volume and power buttons.

[Android Central Question]

I've looked around and couldn't really find a way. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. My phone is an oukitel k10000 pro. I did have the schedule on (repeat everyday) set, but it didn't turn on today, so I'm assuming its not working for some reason. Both the volume and power buttons aren't working. Most ways to turn on a phone I found required using volume buttons, but mine don't work. Is there a way to turn on the phone?

Unfortunately nope. Only way would be to use a service station (if any exist for that brand) or to open it up

i am facing the same issue, unfortunately it seems this phone is using low quality buttons! mine lasted only 3 weeks when the problem started... i already ordered new buttons online to replace them...
if you have some electronics knowledge and know how to open your phone, you turn your phone on by shorting PIN1 and PIN4 on the flex cable for 1 second, after that you can rely on the fingerprint sensor to unlock your phone for daily use until you repair the buttons...

The power button should be pressing a power switch just behind it. (I don't have the particular phone, so I can't check to be sure.) But if it has, and you press that switch in the same way you press the power button (half a second? until the phone vibrates?), it should turn on. Just don't use anything pointed or anything conductive. Something like a plastic swizzle stick with a smaller ball would be good (especially if you file the end of the ball flat).
