Overview
What this part is
The power and volume keys on the Galaxy A17 5G are plastic or metal buttons in the frame. Behind them sits a thin flex cable carrying small switches. When a switch wears out, the flex tears, or liquid gets in, the buttons stop working even though they still move.
It is made for the Galaxy A17 5G, model number SM-A176B. Try a restart and take off any tight case first, as a case can press a key all the time. Access is from the back: the back cover and the plates over the board come off first.

Professional installation
How a technician fits this part
- Power the phone off, warm the back cover to soften the adhesive, and lift it off.
- Remove the screws and plates, then disconnect the battery.
- Unclip the old side key flex and peel it gently away from the side of the frame.
- Line the new flex up behind the buttons, press it into place and connect it.
- Reconnect the battery and test power, volume up and volume down before closing.
- Refit the plates and screws, apply new adhesive and press the back cover down evenly.
Check that the part matches the device before fitting it or removing any adhesive backing. Once a part has been fitted, it cannot be returned for a change of mind. Faulty parts are always covered.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my Galaxy A17 5G?
Yes, if Settings › About phone shows Galaxy A17 5G with model number SM-A176B.
Does it fit the Galaxy A17 4G?
It is not listed for the A17 4G (SM-A175F). This flex is for the A17 5G (SM-A176B). Message us before ordering if you have the 4G model.
Will it fix a key that has fallen out of the frame?
No. This part replaces the switches behind the keys. A missing or bent key cap sits in the frame and needs a different repair.
Is it made by Samsung?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality button flex cable made to fit the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G, and it is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
We recommend professional installation. The Galaxy A17 5G has to be opened and the battery disconnected safely, and the flex is thin and easy to tear.
