Overview
What this part is
The power and volume keys on the Samsung Galaxy A21 press against small switches on a thin flex cable inside the frame, on the right-hand side of the phone. Over time the switches wear out, or the flex tears or corrodes after a drop or liquid damage.
This flex carries both the power switch and the volume switches, so one part fixes all three keys. Before ordering, check the outer keys are not jammed or missing, as this part replaces the internal flex only.

Professional installation
How a technician fits this part
- Power the phone off and remove the SIM tray.
- Warm the back cover edges gently and lift it off with a plastic pick.
- Remove the screws and inner cover, then disconnect the battery before anything else.
- Unplug the old button flex, then peel it carefully off the side of the frame.
- Fit the new flex in the same position, reconnect it and the battery, and test every button before closing.
- Refit the inner cover and screws, then refit the back cover with fresh adhesive.
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 A21?
Yes, if Settings › About phone shows Galaxy A21 and the model code SM-A215. It does not fit the Galaxy A21s (SM-A217F), Galaxy A20, Galaxy A31.
Does it fit the Galaxy A21s?
No. The Galaxy A21s is a different model with a different internal layout. Check the model name in Settings › About phone before you order.
Will it fix a broken button cap?
No. This part is the internal flex with the switches. If the outer key is cracked or missing, that needs replacing separately.
Is it made by Samsung?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality power and volume button flex cable made to fit the Samsung Galaxy A21, and it is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
We recommend professional installation. The Galaxy A21 has to be opened, the battery must be disconnected safely, and the flex is thin and easy to tear.
