My iphone 4 lock button stopped working and now it won't charge

Hi.
A couple of weeks ago my iphone 4's lock button randomly stopped working, I had never dropped my iphone so I couldn't figure out why this had occurred. I did not see this as a big problem until recently when my iphone stopped charging. The iPhone had worked just as normal the day before it stopped charging. I usually charge my iphone over night, but one night it reached around 85% and stopped charging. I have tried it with several different iphone chargers and different plugs in the house but still the iPhone wouldn't charge. Now my iphone has ran out of battery and due to the fact that my lock button is broken, I can't try anything to turn it on. Does my battery need replacing?
Thanks,
Anna.

  • My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

    I'm guessing it's a hardware problem. Your best option is to go to an Apple Store as soon as you can to try and sort this all out. While you're waiting to go visit an Apple Store, however, I'd imagine you still want to use your phone. To circumvent your hardware button problems, try enabling Assistive Touch by going to Settings>General>Accesibility>Assistive Touch. You'll see a small box appear on your screen. Tapping it will bring up several options for you to choose from, like the home button. Clicking the "Device" option will give you several options for controlling your phone that you would normally use hardware buttons for (i.e. volume, lock your phone, etc.) Hope this helps and good luck!

  • My home button stopped working and now iPad mini will not turn.

    My home button stopped working a few weeks ago, and now my iPad mini will not turn on. I can't restart the iPad, and it will not pop up in iTunes. What can I do?

    Make an appointment with the nearest apple store and they will be able to replace it or give you directions otherwise. Hope this helps

  • My iphone 4's lock button stopped working and my warrinty isnt up yet but my phone is cracked. will apple still be able to replace it?

    the whole back side of my phone is cracked but i don't know how  i never drop my phone and i always have a case on it. but now i can't use my lock button and i really don't like assistive touch. will apple be able to replace my phone even if the back side of the phone is cracked?

    If the damage is not user inflicted, Apple will replace it.
    Frankly the only way to know for sure is to take it to Apple and ask them.

  • The charge on my iphone 3g has completely gone, and now it won't charge.How can I turn it on?

    my charge has gone and now the phone will not charge now. What can I do? please can someone help. Mick from the UK.

    Hi Mick,
    The battery could have died...
    Plug it in to the Wall Charger for 20 to 30 Minutes, then unplug it and try this...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If still no joy, it may need a New Battery, or it could be time to consider a New Phone...
    If nothing works, take it to your nearest Apple Store and they will check it for you...
    Cheers,

  • My iPod Touch 5th generation is faulty, first the home button stopped working and now it's died completely, won't charge but I can feel the screen is heated. What is going on with this thing?

    I bought this iPod mid-March, I've only had it for a little less than 5 months.  I bought it at Best Buy, I don't know if that matters or anything- I have a geek squad and apple warranty.  I'm only nineteen years old and this was my first real big purchase and I'm very disappointed.  I've had other iPods before and never had any issues with them, my last one lasted from 2008 - 2013.  I take very good care of my iPod Touch, never dropped it or anything of the sort and I keep it in a thick case.  This iPod worked fine up until recently.  First the home button became unresponsive, I had to activate the assistive touch because I use this iPod for school work.  I was about to take my iPod into Best Buy so they could take a look at it and see if there was anything they could do before I contacted apple, but now my iPod is completely dead.  It won't respond at all. I had to disconnect the charger because the iPod screen was getting hot and it wasn't charging.  It's been disconnected for a few hours and the screen still feels hot. I'm really concerned, especially with recent news reports of handheld devices overheating and burning people or even exploding.  Will the apple warranty cover this so I can get a new iPod?  What are my options?

    If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.

    Hello Kimbo1991,
    It sounds like your phone is not successfully booting even though you have reset the device. I would next recommend attempting a backup and restore to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    If you are unable to restore with iTunes I would next put the device into recovery mode, and attempt the restore again:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • The ringer switch on side of iphone 4s has stopped working and is now turning itself from silent to ringer without me touching buttons. Will this be covered under warrent? I have had the phone less than 1 year.

    The ringer switch on the side of my Iphone 4S has stopped working and the phone is now turning itself on and off silent without me touching any buttons. Will this be covered under warrenty? I have had the phone for less than a year. Although I have had the screen replaced, and wondered if this may void the warrenty?

    Yes, the screen replacement (I am assuming by you our a 3rd party) voided your warranty.

  • My Lock button on my iphone 5 has stopped working, and I'm not sure what to do.

    My Lock button on my iphone 5 has stopped working, and I'm not sure what to do.

    This will be covered by the 1 year Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. Until then try Settings App > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn iPhone OFF. To turn ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

    I have an iPhone 4 and my home and lock button stopped working today randomly at the same time. I have had assistive touch set up for a while but that also won't work. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

  • My iphone 4s is frozen and my lock button doesnt work and i cant slide to power off the phone. HELP

    my iphone 4s is frozen on the lock screen. my lock button doesnt work and i cant slide to power off the phone. It has 100% battery and nothing happens when  i plug it into the computer.
    My phone screen also is in negative. It is like twitching and ive tried to invert the colors but thats not it. i cant see any apps, pictures , or anything in regular colors. PLEASE HELPPP!

    You can't.  You'll have to wait until the battery runs out and then recharge the phone.  It will restart.
    Sounds like now's a good time to get the phone fixed.

  • Lock button stopped working,is it warranty case?in Apple will change my iPhone or will be repaired?  Sorry for my English

    lock button stopped working,is it warranty case?in Apple will change my iPhone or will be repaired?  Sorry for my English

    Nobody here can possible speak for Apple whether it is a warranty failure or not.  You need to take it into an Apple store or send it to Apple and have them evaluate it.  If they decide it is a warranty failure and you are still within your warranty period, then yes, it will be replaced with a factory refurbished unit for free.
    If it is determined to be due to something you have done, then the warranty does not apply and you would have to pay the out of warranty replacement fee.

  • Volume and Lock buttons stopped working after new iOS 4.3.3 update (ipod 4th gen)

    After I updated my ipod with the iOS 4.3, the volume and lock buttons stopped working.
    This has happened before and it'sprobably one of the most annoying problems ever.
    The lock button tends to stop working but then works again only when it wants to, but the volume buttons dont work at all.
    When the locked button worked again I turned it off and turned it on again, but it didnt fix the problem.
    I've pretty much tried everything that I've read and nothing seems to work.
    So now, I don't know what to do.
    Should I take it to a random apple store or to where I bought it from?
    It seems that it's happening to almost everyone, so at least I'm not the only one and maybe someone can help me out

    If you have restored in iTunes on a computer and the problem remains then it's a hardware fault and it needs to be repaired. When you update the iOS version on an iOS device it checks the hardware components, this is when it'll detect un-diagnosed hardware faults and the components will stop working... even if they were working previously

    My big question here is :
    why aren't we hearing from apple? why aren't they saying something like "yeah we messed things up but be patient. we are trying our best to fix it..." ?
    I was thinking to buy the macbook pro but now I'm afraid of the day things will get messy with that too.
