Recently past 3 months ago my brother brought me htc desire from swizerland and i have using it for a while after some days power button is not working and in our city there is no service center for htc so i showed the phone in local mobile shop . When the shopkeeper open the phone he recognised that the power button which is fixed to the pcb board has been brokened so that he says me you must change the pcb board .Can any one say there is any alternate way for repairong the phone in cheap of cost

Can't think of a hardware way around this unless you are handy with a soldering iron. Maybe this won't even help. Is the phone out of warranty?

The only (sort of) other solution I can think of is to root the phone and install a custom rom. This will allow other buttons to switch on the phone. I used to use the trackpad to switch mine on. Reboots will also be easier with widgets once you've rooted.

Maybe this is possible unrooted but I'm not aware of a way.
