Hello, my home button is broken and i cant reeboot it. any suggestions?

I tried with assistive touch but it wont work.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Where it says use recovery mode use this program
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- 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 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.

  • My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. What should I do?

    My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it  says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.

  • I recently go my screen replaced and it has worked since then. But now all a sudden the screen does not light up. I know my phone is on because Siri is still responsive if I hold the home button, I just can't see anything. Any suggestions?

    Most likely the LCD Display connector simply came loose from its logic board connector. Take iPhone back to where it was repaired, and ask them to simply press the connector back into its place. Ask them to apply a bit of foam material or several small pieces of tape on top so the pressure of the flex connector plate holds it properly in place for the future.

  • TS1441 How can I restore an iPod touch if the home button is broken and I don't know the password?

    I just bought my iPod Touch (4th Generation 8GB) from my friend and the home button doesn't work. Then, my parents took it away for about 6 months and I just got it back and I forgot my password. Then, I tried to get in too many times and now it says "iPod Disabled Connect to iTunes". Then, when I connect it to iTunes, it says for my to put in my password so it can connect. I've been trying to get back in but haven't found a way to restore it. HELP!!!!!
    P.S. It's jailbroken, but the damage isn't due to Cydia. Also, I can't put it into DFU mode since the home button is broken.

    Actually, I can give it to someone who fixes jailbroken iPod touch home buttons, but I don't want to pay anything. Also, if you just have something to say to me that will kill me, don't say it at all dude.

  • My home button is broken and my iPod was accidentally shut off. Is there a way I can turn it back on with out it?

    My home button has been broken for almost 7 months, now, and I have been using the assistive touch, but, today, my roommate accidentally shut my iPod off using the Lock button, and now I cannot turn it back on. Is there a way to do this? Help!

    Try depressing and holding the Lock button to see if that works.
    What will work is to connect the iPod to a charging source.

  • HT1212 How can I reset my iPod Touch 3 gen. to factory settings when my home button is broken and I'm locked out?

    My home button broke awhile ago so I've just been using the assist thing ( I forget the name:P) and I got locked out a few days ago and now I can't do the hold down the sleep/wake button after disconnecting your device from the charger and hold onto the home button blah blah blah. Anyways, I have no idea what to do so if any of you could help I would be so thankful (also I tried erasing it using iCloud online and it said to erase it had to be connected to Wifi and well, I can't do that unless I can unlock my iPod and yeah..)

  • My lock button is broken and i cant figure out how to turn my phone on with my computer, any tips?

    my lock button is jammed and i read somewhere that you can turn your phone on through itunes. i have tried plugging it up to a charger and doing everything you can imagine to get the button unjammed. i cant figure out how to use itunes to get it to turn on, any advice or know of another way?

    maybe your power button is pushed down and won't allow it to turn on.
    usually when you touch any button on an iphone, it will turn on. wether it's the home or power button.
    you should take your phone into the apple store.
