How Turn on Samsung S7 with a broken Power Button?

1. Connect a USB cable to your Galaxy.
2. Hold down your volume button for a few seconds and with it still held down, connect the other end of your USB cable to your PC.
3. The phone will automatically boot to download mode – it might take a little time, be patient.
4. Press the down volume button to cancel this operation.
5. As soon as this operation is canceled, sit back and watch your phone re-boot and turn on.

PITA, but it will work. Please post with your results.
