My power button has stopped working - seems to have lost it's 'spring'. My phone is over a year old and out of warrenty - any options? It also seems to be going thru the battery in less than a day which was never the case. Are these two situations related?

I don't know if they are related or not, but I'd take it in to an Apple store.  They might be gracious and offer to replace it, or at the least, it may be eligible for an out-of-warranty replacement at a reduced fee (currently $149.00 for the iPhone 4, 3Gs, 3G, and original - you get a refurb as replacement).

  • Hello, my iPad's power button has stopped working. Does anyone have a solution as to how I can make it work again

    Please help. My iPads power button has stopped working. I cannot take it to sleep mode or switch it off

    Try a reset even though the Sleep/Wake button is not woring.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

    If the power adapter is already plugged into your computer, the AC power cord is likely to spark as you attempt to plug it in.  The power adapter is designed to shut down when a potentially damaging situation occurs.  The "sparking" can cause over-current and over-voltage protection circuits to turn the power adater off.  When this occurs, you should unplug the power adapter from the wall, unplug the power adapter from the computer, wait 15 seconds, plug the power adapter into a properly-grounded AC wall outlet, and then plug the DC output cable into the Mag-safe connector.

  • My home button has stopped working.  I have to shut the phone down every time I want to toggle back and forth through apps.

    My iPhone 4 is having issues w/the home button.  It doesn't work at all and I have to shut the phone own completely each time I want to toggle back and Roth ou of different apps, to us the phone, take pics., etc.  Is there a fix for this issue or will I need a new phone?

    Open any default IOS application ( like calculator, weather, stocks etc) on the iPhone
    Press and hold the Power button till the ‘Slide to Shutdown’ screen appears.
    Now release the Power button and gently hold the Home button.
    Try this a couple of times if it doesnt work first time.

  • My power button has stopped working,

    i am still within my one year warranty, but my front and back screen are smashed, will this affect me getting a replacement or it getting fixed?

    Hmm honestly it might, back up your info, make an appointment and bring it in to see what they can do.
    You'd have a good case for an in warranty issue...
    I'd be nice, bring it in for the button and say that happened before the damage.
    The button not working is something that should be covered by the warranty.
    goodluck

  • My iPhone 4 sleep/power button has stopped working?

    I was told by a friend that if I go into the apple store, because my iPhone is out of warranty, they'll offer me a brand new handset for £100. Is this true?

    You get an out of warranty replacement...could be new or refurbished...comes in a white box.  Cost is £126.44, I believe.
    Refurbished is indistinguishable from new.

  • Can anyone help please. how do i get the home button to appear on the touch screen my home button has stopped working?

    can anyone help please. how do i get the home button to appear on the touch screen my home button has stopped working?

    I have same problem.
    However, I am unable to turn on Assistive Touch.
    At one time I was able to activate it, but it went away and now I cant reactivate.
    What is the solution?

  • My iPad 2 home button has stopped working I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the button, I have tried holding the off button then the home button and I was told I could create my own home button in the settings but I can't!

    My iPad 2 home button has stopped working all together, I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the home button, I've tried pressing the off switch then pressing the home button, the other thing I was advised to do was create a home button in the settings under the accessibility option but I don't have the option I was advised to use under there! Help! It's really frustrating having to turn the device off everytim I want to switch apps and I really can't afford to send it away to be mended! Many thanks in advance

    The accessibilty setting that was mentioned is:
    * Enable AssistiveTouch
    Enable AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device:
    Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
    *Note* If you power off the device using the AssistiveTouch panel (tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch button, Device>Lock Screen (tap and hold to power off)), you will NOT be able to power on the device *if your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning*. You will need to connect the powered off device either to a PC's USB port or an external charger to power the device back on.

  • Hello, my main button has stopped working .. how do I make it work again?

    Hello,
    my main button has stopped working.. how do I make it work again?
    thank you

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

  • My home screen button has stopped working since updating to ios7 (iphone4)

    My home screen button has stopped working since updating to ios7 (iphone4)
    Originally i noticed that it was less responsive but now it does absolutely nothing.
    I have cleaned the button and also tried calibrating (opening an apple app, holding the power button and then the home button)
    Nothing has helped and I am forced to use assisted touch.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Craig.

    No advice? I suppose I could try sacrificing an android to the apple gods.....

  • The home button has stopped working on my iphone 5c. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode.

    Have an iphone 5c 8g. The home button has stopped working. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode and no evidence of damage.

    If you are playing in hockey arenas a lot or if you are bringing it into bathroom same time as shower it may not seem like much but overtime the steam can acquire and build up in the phones usb dock flex cable swell as the home button flex cable. Bring again into apple store and should be covered under warranty again. could also be a delay in a 8gb 5c software may just be very lag.
