i think if you press the big button on the front of your PC for at least 10 seconds, it will restore your thanks button.

True, unless he's browsing on his touch pro.Then, the thanks button in the storage is probably corrupt. Settings --> system --> clear storage will usually fix that.

i think it will ask him to enter "1234". that's very important and shouldn't be left out.

Sure.

1. With the phone on and the screen turned off, place phone in left hand with screen facing away from your palm.
2. Press the power button at the top of the phone (all the way to the left in the very top) just once.
3. If you are using a slide to unlock program, you'll need to refer to that software's instruction manual for directions on gaining access to your device.
4. Once you've gained access to the phone, use your left thumb to press the button in the top left hand side of the phone. Careful, there are two buttons here, and you're looking for the one at the top. The one below this will lower your volume and potentially put your phone into what we call a "Vibrationalizing state" in which the phone becomes an uncontrollable object, moving on it's own back and forth literally hundreds of times per second.
5. Once the correct volume button is pressed, a volume dialog should appear. Don't be afraid, this is normal. Continue to press the correct button on the side of the phone until all the bars in this dialog appear white (if you've gotten lost, refer to step 3.) This should indicate you are at maximum volume potential.

Thanks! It's a miracle! I can finally hear the other person on the phone. BUT! I found these instructions does not work for the right hand.
