Re: Software causing my phone to flash on and off?

As an update, I tried reflashing to a stock ROM and still had the same problem. I reflashed and relocked my phone so I could take it to a Sprint Repair Center and get it looked at. After review, my power button somehow melted a little bit and is triggering the button to keep going off. They suspect the phone may have overheated a little bit. Good news is they are ordering me a new one but it won't be here until Thursday, but maybe Friday because of the holiday week.

My question now is if there is a way to disable the power button. My phone is fully functional, the screen just keeps blinking on and off and its killing the battery, and its a pain in the *** trying to do anything on it because everything has to be timed perfectly between screen flashes (about 2 seconds). Texting is the worst and only done when absolutely necessary. Calls work fine. If I could disable the action that occurs when the power button is pressed, i could essentially make my phone working again until I get my replacement
