How to fix the Kyocera power button not working problem?
Trying out the software aspect
It is quite possible that the power button not working problem that you want to fix is due to a temporary software glitch or it might have occurred due to any bugs or viruses. Since the power button is not working, you cannot simply reboot the device to verify but here’s what you can do to fix power button not working problem if it occurred due to a software issue.
Reboot the device
I know that you cannot reboot a device without a working power button. Even if you try to do a force reboot, it won’t actually work since the power button is not working. But it could be a temporary software glitch. The easiest way to eliminate the obvious is to reboot the device. This method will work if your phone is still turned on. Navigate to ‘Scheduled On/Off’ feature under the Settings app and set the turn-on time at 00:00 (for example) and reboot time on 00:01. This will allow the phone to automatically reboot without the need to press a power button.
Clear all types of cache files
Assuming that your phone is active but without a working power button, you need to clear all types of cache files. For this, you can install third-party apps like CCleaner or Avast Cleanup to do the job. However, I would recommend using a manual method by deleting said cache files in the right way. To clear cache memory, proceed to Storage under Settings and locate ‘Cache Memory’ to clear it. Next, go to Settings >> Apps >> All and tap on third-party apps individually and press ‘Clear Cache’ under each app to do the same.
