How can I fix a faulty volume rocker

     I sent my ipod touch 3G to get fixed because the volume up portion of the rocker was starting to fail on me. The down works just fine but when I push the up portion it will either not work, go up one level or work normally. You also have to press the button at the center of the top half or the bottom. If you push it from the top half or the sides then it won't work. Apple didn't fix it and just sent it back because it couldn't be duplicated and to me that just means the person who checked it pushed the button and it went up so it worked to him completely overlooking that it only partially worked.
     Conviently this all happened when my warranty was about to end in 3 days so when I got my normal ipod back it was over so does anyone know how I can fix this myself since apple is usless?

  • The volume on imovie09 suddenly stopped working.  How can I fix the audio volume?

    The volume on imovie09 suddenly stopped working.  How can I fix the audio volume?
    I have no idea what triggered this.  Other projects work with volume.  But my current project will play the audio but no volume. HELP please.

    How exactly stopped working?  Three things to try
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • My volume button is broken and volume stuck on zero.  how can i fix?, my volume button is broken and volume stuck on zero.  how can i fix?

    help! i have an ipad nano gen6, which works perfectly except that the down volume button is permanently stuck on down and won't come up. so i can't listen to anything - every time i turn the volume up it just goes immediately back down.  Is there a way to turn off the down button, which would be a clunky but workable soluteion? or am i stuck with having to take it to hte apple store - if so any know how much they are likely to charge for this - from a quick net search it seems this is a common problem and a bit of a design fllaw so i'm not keen to pay apple to fix a problem that seems to be their fault!
    Thanks

  • My down volume button doesn't work. How can I fix it?

    When I press the down volume button on my iPad 2 it doesn't work. It was working last night but not this morning. I didn't drop it or anything. I just got my iPad not even a year ago. How can I fix my down volume button?

    Well if you restore your iPad that might work. If its a software issue, it might solve it. If that doesn't work, it might be a hardware issue that apple can fix.

    It might be a good idea to reset network settings & reboot your modem:
    Open Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network settings.  You will have to enter your wifi passwords again.
    Also go to Settings->Safari->Clear History & a Website data.

    May be you have turned the DO NO DISTURB in your iphone settings.
    Check as below DND settings
    Settings>>Do Not Disturb
    If you are iPhone is on version iOS 5.X there was a bug which does not let the DO NOT DISTURB function properly.
    SO, its better you to latest iOS version 7.0.4, no other versions of iOS are signed by APPLE hence forth.

  • Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?

    Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?
    Apple made no mention of this being an expected issue, so I can only assume it's unintentional. Otherwise I wouldn't have subscribed to Match in the first place!

    How big is your library?  I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
    - Backup your library.  Always a good idea before messing with things.  
    - Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589.  This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one.  Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
    - Add a few albums into this new library.  Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
    - Activate Match on this new library.  You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
    - At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
    If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.

  • The hold button and volume buttons have stopped working on my iTouch 4. How can I fix it?

    I've only had it for about 6 months. It's never been dropped or abused in any way. All of the sudden, the buttons just stopped working. How can I fix it? Please help!!

    The issue with the battery is a problem.  The last battery I purchased was at the end of September, so it is NOT old.  I would think that a battery would last longer than 6 months, considering the original one lasted up until that point.  Granted it would not hold as much of a charge, but it still worked at least.  So, at this point, I would think it would be a problem with the laptop and not the battery.  I have asked a few friends of mine, who are IT professionals and they said that it is probably an issue with the internal power supply.  I've also tried replacing the AC adapter and that did not work either.  As you said, you get what you pay for.  Since I paid a good price for this laptop I would think it would last longer than it has.  The other 2 I have do not have this issue.  The DV5215us is on it's second battery, which is reasonable, and it does not have this charging problem.  The tx1115nr also does not have this problem and is still on its original battery.  One would think that since the earlier generations of product would have more problems than the latter, but I guess that is not the case.
    Like I stated eariler I am rough on my laptops and I should probably look at ones that are built more rigid.
