When and why to replace the Power button

The Power button on the Galaxy S25 Plus undergoes hundreds of presses each day. Over time, the mechanism wears down: the press becomes less responsive, the spring loses tension, or the button gets stuck. These failures make the device difficult to control. Impossible to put it to sleep, force a restart if it freezes, or simply turn it on. This button also controls access to emergency menus and facial recognition unlock: a failure renders it unusable.

The green Service Pack Power button restores the original mechanics. Mounted in the factory by Samsung, it regains the precision of the device's manufacturing day. No previous wear affects its operation, unlike a part that has already been used.

Service Pack: what this packaging changes

A Service Pack Power button is a new part, delivered in Samsung's official repair packaging. It comes directly from the manufacturer's production lines, identical to the one that equips devices at assembly. No component has been replaced, none has been used before. Service Pack packaging is the standard used by Samsung authorized centers for workshop interventions. What the official box guarantees is that every detail—material, color, spring reactivity, mechanical tolerance—meets the manufacturer's exact specifications.

The manufacturer reference GH98-49888B precisely identifies this package. It is what the repair technician enters into the ordering system to verify they receive the correct button.

Compatible with Galaxy S25 Plus only

This Power button is designed for the Galaxy S25 Plus (internal reference S936B). The mechanics, dimensions and snap profile vary between Samsung models. Installing this button on a Galaxy S25 Ultra, S25 FE or other device would not work: the fasteners would not align, or the button would remain too recessed. Check your device model before ordering—it appears in system settings under "About phone".

Color and package contents

The button delivered is green, exactly as shown on the Samsung packaging. This shade matches the exterior finish of the green Galaxy S25 Plus. The package contains the button alone, without removal tools or adhesive: only the button is replaced during repair. Other components—the internal spring, the side structure—remain in place.

Installation and precautions

Replacing the Power button requires accessing the side casing of the Galaxy S25 Plus. The screen must be removed first to reach the mechanism. This intervention requires specialized equipment: suction cup, plastic tool or thin blade to peel the screen, tweezers to handle the ribbons without damaging them. Once the screen is open, the button detaches with a few screws and is reassembled in place. At every step, care matters: a torn ribbon multiplies the repairs needed. Poor handling renders the device unusable. This intervention is beyond domestic use. If you are not an authorized repair technician, entrust this part to a professional.

Two-year warranty

The green Power button is covered by a two-year warranty from the date of purchase. This period covers manufacturing defects, defective parts upon delivery and technical failures due to material. It does not cover mechanical wear after installation, damage caused by water, drops or improper installation. In case of failure during this period, contact the store with proof of purchase.
