    Alternate way of powering up M6

    Hi everyone

    I recently dropped my M6 and in the process broke my power button.

    I figured out that holding the back and enter button for 10 seconds powered the thing off, but now I can't power it back up.

    Eventually, using a guide I found, I'm going to fix the power button, but in the mean time is there an alternate way I could turn my Meizu on?

    Thanks.

    The only other way I know is to briefly plug it in to USB and disconnect as it starts to boot, it will then continue to boot as normal.

    You should be able to with relative ease, just make sure you un-do the clips. You can do that by kind of lifting it outward.
    If you are having trouble with your player, please visit this thread first and try the steps before you panic. Most likely you will be able to fix your player easily using the steps listed.

    Actually, I think holding the enter button is the only thing that did anything, doing a soft reset. A soft reset turns off the player, too, and doesn't delete anything.

    Yeah, you shouldn't have to press the RW button.
