I've got an old Samsung A13 filled with priceless photos that I really want to access. I also just got a new pair of Galaxy Buds that I'm excited to try out. The problem is that I accidentally broke the power button on my phone a while back, and now I've powered it off accidentally. Whenever I charge it, I only see the charging icon for a moment before it shuts off again. Does anyone have any tips or tricks that might help me get it working again?

Have you tried getting under the plastic outer power button? There's sometimes a little switch that can be pressed. You could carefully remove the outer button and push that switch directly. If that doesn’t work, it might be time to take it to a repair shop.
It sounds like you might need to get that power button repaired. If pushing it isn't doing anything, it's probably broken enough that it can't be activated anymore.
Honestly, as long as the physical switch isn't destroyed, even a cocktail stick could help you push it.
