Hold button broken

axel · 03-31-2008

Been enjoying my Meizu m6 for about a year now. Everything has been great but a few days ago the hold button got stuck on hold, now i can't get it to start, "Hold Locked, Shutting down".

Anybody having the same problem? How can i fix it besides sending it to repair? (Or if somebody knows where to send it in Sweden)

Glad for all answers, have a good one y'all

The hold button stuck? Hm..., I wouldn't dare opening the thing up myself.
Perhaps if you're familiar with the internal components, or really don't want to send it.

I'd send it to China, be prepared to lose it for at least a month though.
Oh, if you bought a Dane-Elec model you can try the same thing with them.

Hi there, my solution for you is to open player by yourself and fix the hold button:
1. take out metal back shell using SHARP PLASTIC tools like plastic knife or sth similar(avoid using metal tools because can easily sctrach player's surface)
As you see in the picture (yellow pointer) there are 8 total plastic parts,keeping shell, these should not break if you open back carefully.
2.Then you have to remove only 2 screws(red pointer), lift motherboard up softly and put the hold button into it's place.

I had the same problem with hold button, fixed it by myself it's not hard, believe me

here is some extra help: Miniplayer Repair

Oh my that was scary. Never imagined i would open my baby meizu up like that. I flicked the hold button back, but the plastic piece was broken, thats why i couldnt unhold it. Now i cant put it on hold, but who cares? im too happy right now, thanks a bunch!
