Fix stucked power button on iPod touch

Hi,
I was using my iPod Touch 4th generation normally and then I tried to lock it but the power button was stucked even if I push hard it wont work.
The iPod still has the Repairs and service coverage (1 year limited Warranty) if I take it to an Apple Store, the repair will cost?
Thanks.

Is the power button stuck because of a drop and damage to the metal casing? Or did the power button just malfunction on its own with no damage that you caused?
If you are under warranty and there is no damage inflicted by user, then Apple store should just give you a new/refurb ipod. You will have to restore all your apps and music so I would back up your touch before you take it into the apple store.
If the case is damaged then Apple won't cover it. They will charge you depending on the size of the iPod touch, 8gb, 32gb, or 64gb. If the case is damaged I would send it to iresq as I have sent multiple apple products to them and they can not be beat on price and customer service. Much cheaper than apple every time I have delt with them. They only do work for USA customers (not sure where you are locate).
I hope this helps, good luck.

  • How to unjam sleep/power button? iPod touch 4th generation

    A few days ago, I was using my ipod touch 4th generation. It working fine. A minute later, I went to use it again, & for some reason my sleep/power button was jammed. I have to use immense pressure to make it go to sleep. Is there a way I could get it unjammed without opening my iPod? I don't want to risk it breaking it any further. I would take it to the Apple Store, but I don't have warranty on it anymore since I got it a little over a year ago when it first released. My screen is also cracked from last December. Will the Apple Store still fix the sleep/power button and maybe my screen without warranty? & how much will be? Individual or both? Much appreciated!

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.

  • Power button on iPod touch operates on its own

    Hello,
    I have a 64 GB 3rd generation iPod touch.  I bought it new about four years ago.  It has NEVER given me any problems mechanically, and I know Apple has a good track record for this.  However, about a week ago, response of the power button became a little spotty.  I figured this was no big deal, as the device is four years old, it should be expected that every single button should not be as responsive as it was the day I got it.  I left it at that and enabled Assistive Touch to releive some of the stress of the power button.  This worked fine until three days ago, when the power button actually began to dictate to the device on its own.  I am getting the same spotty response of the button, but now it will wake up the device and put it back to sleep again all on its own.  I could be in the middle of selecting a new song or giving a voice command - then bam!  The device puts itself to sleep.  There are times when the device receives so much input from the power button it will flicker on and off from receiving so many spastic commands.  Then, at other times, the device behaves as normal.  A good way to describe this is electronic epilepsy.  The device will be functioning as normal - then the next moment - it literally appears to be having some sort of seizure.  It flickers on and off and sends all of the imaginable commands from the power button one could think of.  Sometimes the button sends the shutdown signal and I get the "Side to Power Off" pane.  I know this is an old device and that these mechanical altercations should be expected, but this makes it very, very difficult, and above all, irritating, to accomplish a task even as mundane as switching songs.  Like I said, this little iPod has been great and it has withstood many elements which should have done it in (like braving extreme sub-zero and above-100F temperatures multiple times).  So its life has not been a walk in the park, but it never displayed any signs of weakness, which is why I am baffled that in a perfect working enviromnent this odd quirck is occuring.  But I like to think of it as a workhorse, and I sure as heck wasn't looking to invest in another flagship iPod model just at the moment, so I would dearly love to get this issue resolved and get back to having this thing as my daily companion.  I have already done a factory reset and set it up as a new iPod.  This did not help.  Are there any suggestions as to what I can do to just get this device under control?  Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Stuck sleep button on ipod touch

    Hello,
    Does anyone else have this problem the button is literally stuck and does not give? please help

    Hardware problems should be handled by authorized Apple service people..  Stuff goes defect all the time, even Apple's after they are heavily in use.
    If you are within your first year you might be covered with warranty.

  • HOW DO I FIX SOUND PROBLEMS ON MY IPOD  TOUCH?

    How do i fix sound problems on my ipod touch?

    First, 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.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  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.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • IPhone 4s - Stuck power button

    I have an iPhone 4s (out of warranty) and the power button is stuck.  So, I have to wait one minute for it to go to sleep after each use.  Can the Apple store fix it and about how much will it cost?

    atc1989 I wouldn't believe any answer you get here on this forum as the value of your phone will be assessed by someone else.  And only the person assessing your phone will determine its true value.  Take a look around this forum...there are soo many people getting screwed out of their $200 trade for something as simple as VZW claiming they didn't deactivate "Find My iPhone".  And they're taking their credit down from $200 to some folks only getting $36 and that's over a simple app.  Imagine what's going to happen to you when your device actually does have an issue (i.e. stuck power button). 
    Try your luck on eBay and describe the phones condition throughly...you'd have better luck getting a return on your device that way rather than sending it in to VZW and praying for the best.

  • Faulty/stuck power button again! Who was the genius that located the ear-jack hole with the "Liquid Contact Indicator" at the top of the iPhone, so perspiration can accumulate and void the warranty

    My Power button is stuck again...... like many, many other owners....like two of my previous iPhones.  According to the Genius at the Genius Bar in Reno, Nv., my warranty is void because the LCI which is located in the ear-jack hole on the top, has come in contact with moisture/humidity/sweat.  My iPhone has never been dropped or wet. My iPhone4s is in pristine conditon and is in great working order except for the "stuck" power button, but because of a poor quality and location of the ear-jack hole, my warranty has been voided. Everything I have is Apple.  The Rep/Genius in Reno while fullly aware on the chronic power button problems, tried to put the stuck button on  an exposure to moisture. He said, "It doesn't matter if mositure didn't cause the button to stick or not. Your warranty voided because of the Liquid Contact Indicated turned color. Of course, the "power/sync" hole LCI is perfect.  Thank you Apple! I think I'll refuse my iPhone5 delivery on Friday and go buy a "Droid" phone.
    Hey, who out there wants to buy my new iPhone5 when it gets to me on Friday???

    Thanks for your reply. I too would not rule out moisture damaging the power button, but ...
    I guess was being too subtle. My points are:
    1. "Stuck" power buttons is a known issue/problem and Apple has been dealing with it since the first iPhone. This is quality problem. The evidence is with other users all around us and all over the web.
    2. The "sweat" issue is a design problem and should've been addressed long before the release of the iPhone5 in a few days.  Yes, they moved iPhone5's  headphone-jack to the bottom/underneath of the iPhone. To say that the "sweat" issue is the users' fault is like saying, Apple iPhones should only be sold to swine or other mammals without sweat glands. We're talking about as little as one drop from someone's temple running down the headphone-jack opening while one is engadged with a phone call.  That's all it takes to change the color of the LCI.
    3. Also I wanted to make my complaint public on this forum and not Facebook,  hoping to both, not only catch the eye of an Apple lurker, but let others know of the danger of speaking on their iPhones while out in the sun, high humidity or driving a car with the top down....... my point being, even the free AT&T Go Phones have protection against the slightest elements.
    4. I paid close to $700 for this iPhone4s 64G less than a year ago.  I don't like being dismissed with a cut and dry, cookie-cutter answer from a 20yr old without reasonable explanation and then be shoo'd out the door. "Next?"
    5. I love Apple products and I'm glad the new release has addressed the jack/perspiration problem although I know there were other factors involved in the decisions to not move/move it.
