Hello,
I have purchased an LG G3 recently and I realized that the power/lock button is loose and wobbles. It hasn't affected performance and is completely functional but the rattling sound it makes is annoying. I realized that there these 2 screws under the camera that are located at the end of each volume key and I was hoping if anyone would know if I could manage to adjust the keys maybe set them in place or something to have the power button in a more stable placement. I live in the middle east and I cannot return the phone so please any solution that I could do myself would be highly appreciated. I added a picture of the screws I was talking about. Thank you for any help you can offer.IMG-20140826-WA0007.jpg

I'm not sure about it, but let me try to get someone that knows more about the LG G3.

Welcome to the forums.
I have no experience in this whatsoever, but since the button looks to be easily replaceable, have you at least removed the screws to see how difficult it might be?

No I haven't I was worried I might do something unnecessary that I might not be able to restore that's why I was wondering if anyone knew if those screws do the job or not

Perhaps finding a teardown video on YouTube? iFixit does those kind of videos and are pretty well done.
