How to fix a iPod touch 4th generation lock button?

so I went to apple to see if they could fix my lock button. They said i would have to pay a replacement cost of $99 and i already did to because I cracked the screen a few months ago. So there is no way that i will pay it again, IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO GET IT FIXED?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar      
If the Genius can't unstick it:
- They will exchange it at no cost if the iPod is defective, within warranty and not abuse.
- otherwise the exchange price is $199 for 64 GB on and $99 for the others.

  • How to fix an ipod touch 4th generation that will not turn on or charge

    My ipod touch 4th generation randomly turned off and will not turn back on or charge.  I have tried restarting it, resetting it, and letting it "charge" for weeks but nothing has worked.  It is not registered by itunes when plugged into the computer either and there hasn't been anything dramatically done to it.  I also cannot do anything to update its software since it isn't being recognized by itunes or turning on.
    Thanks in advance to whoever has helpful information!

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation Home button semi-stuck, iPod Touch 4th Generation Home button semi-stuck

    Hi,
    this is my first post here.
    My iPod touch 4th gen has been experiencing some problems with the home button lately. The home button is semi stuck. It works but I have to press it really lightly at times and really hard at other times. I don't know what happened. I let my little brother play with it for a day, and when he returned it to me it was like this. I tried recalibrating it but it was no good. I would try the alcohol method, but there's no alcohol allowed in my house. I tried asking my parents to get me a swab for this purpose and they refused lol. Should I try using a wet q-tip around the home button? Or should I try using my vacuum cleaner's pipe suction things on the usb port thing while holding down the home button? Any and all help is appreciated

  • Apple ipod touch 4th gen lock button?

    So the lock button of my 2nd hand iPod touch 4th gen is totally pressed in, (it was like that when I got it) and it was fine for about the first 6 months because I was using assistive touch to lock it but now it's started acting like it's being pressed all the time. I can barely use it anymore because it locks and unlocks it self about twice a second. I was just wondering if there was any way to reassign the button so that it stops flashing on and off all the time. Any help would be appreciated.

    There is no way to reassign buttons.

  • Is there an error 28 fix for ipod touch 4th generation restoring?

    is there a fix for error 28

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.
