Android tablet Maximus 3.0, in Recovery Mode, but Power button is unresponsive. Any help?

[Georgiaboy 9009]

I have an Android tablet operating on 7.1.2, model is a MAXIMUS 3.0, which is designed for Automotive Diagnostics on an open Android platform built by LAUNCH and distributed by Matco Tools. For a few months now my power button has been unresponsive, today the tablet just randomly rebooted itself while I was currently using it and ended up going into recovery mode. Now it is stuck on that screen due to power button not working.

I have already opened the back up and tried disconnecting the battery, pressing the physical power button on the circuit board, and have visually checked the board and all printed circuits for any signs of circuit failure.

Tablet is not rooted, debugger is unfortunately turned off, and I do not have a computer or laptop at the moment to connect with.

If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it, not having this tablet severely limits my diagnostic capabilities on vehicles due to how much of a vehicle is computer operated now days.

Welcome to Android Central! Try also swabbing a generous amount of rubbing alcohol around the power and volume buttons, in case some residue is causing any of those buttons to be registering false presses.
