Broken lock button on iPhone 5

a few months ago my lock button on my phone stopped working. you can press down on it just fine, like it's not jammed or anything, it just doesn't do anything. i've had my phone for just over a year, a year and a week tomorrow actually. i've read different discussions about broken lock buttons and most of them have said to just take it into apple and they'll most likely replace  it. but my problem is, i'm almost positive i don't have a warrenty on it anymore, and even if i did, would they still replacing seeing that they don't sell iPhone 5's anymore.

You should still have a 1 year warranty, but as you are out then you might have to pay the out of warranty cost. Go to apple and see what they will do sense you just are out of warranty.

  • Iphone 4s won't turn on. broken lock button. It just randomly turned off and won't turn back on. Can't go to apple store because going on vacation. Please help

    iPhone 4ws won't turn on. I have a broken lock button. It just randmoly turned off and won't turn on. I can't go to the apple store because I'm going on vacation. Someone please help

    Your phone is broken; there's no magic solution for you.  You can try plugging it in to wall power and see if this turns the phone on, but if it doesn't, you can either go on vacation without your iPhone, or make the time to visit the Apple store before you leave.

  • Change button setup? (Would fix broken lock button problems!)

    Hello there!
    My lock button on the top of my iphone 4s is broken. This seems to be a really common problem that costs a lot to fix.
    Is there anyway you could simply make another button (for example your increase volume button) have the same functions as the lock button?
    This would make people with broken lock buttons able to turn on/off and lock/unlock their phones again!
    Any app that does this or something? Shouldn't it at least be possible? Thank you very much!

    There's no solution available.

  • HT1212 resetting phone with broken lock button

    I bought a used iPhone 4S (which did not have a passcode on it) with a broken lock button. When I turned on the phone after a full charge, it said to update the OS. So, I did. All of a suddent there was a passcode on the phone. I asked her the passcode and I tried what she told me. Well, I tried it too many times and now the phone is disabled and says to connect to iTunes. I've set up an iTunes account (at the direction of the Verizon store), but cannot figure out how to reset the phone from iTunes. Any advice?

    Read the article you were just at: iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong ...
    That's how you handle this issue.
    If you can't turn off the phone to perform recovery mode because the Sleep/Wake button is damaged, then you won't be able to do anything on the phone with recovery or DFU mode.  You'll probably have to replace the device.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode with a broken 'lock' button.

    My iPod touch 4th generation is stuck in recovery mode with a black screen and I can't get it out. It has a broken lock button and I have tried everything to get it out of recovery mode. Every time I plug it into iTunes, it recognises my iPod and says 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used in iTunes, so I have restored it several times and every time, it says there is an unknown error. Please Help!! (my iPod is IOS 6.0.1)

    What is the complete wording of the error message that says unknown error? Usually more information like a error number is also given.

  • Broken lock button and limited headphone connectivity covered?

    Would a broken lock button and limited headphone connectivity be covered in the 1 year limited warranty?
    It's hardware, but I'm unsure if it's counted as physical damage or not. It's a long drive to an Apple store and I don't want to waste gas to get a 'no'.

    Covered by warranty unless the damage is due to abuse.  If the iPod is all beat up and dented Apple may say it is due to abuse.  If it just shows normal wear it should be covered under warranty.

  • My iphone 4 has a broken lock button and wont turn on even when plugged in. How do I get it to turn on?

    I had 67% power at 10 am but when I went to lunch at 1 my phone was dead. I tried plugging it into a power source but it still wont turn on, and as previously stated my lock button is broken. How do I turn it on?

    If that is not successful try the remaining items of:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on 
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I got an iphone 5 about 6 months ago.  I went to apple 2 months ago with a broken lock button and they have me a new one.  My lock button recently broke again so can I go back to apple and get another one seeing that it is still within my first year?

    I got the iphone 5 six months ago. The lock button broke two months ago so I went to apple and got a new one.  My lock button just recently broke so can I go get another phone seeing that it is still within the first year? Or will they not give me another one seeing I already got a new one? I've had the phone for six months and the lock button has already broke twice.

    There is no limit on warranty replacements.
    As long as it is defective,not damaged
