How to fix iphone 5 lock button??????

My iPhone 5 lock button just broke unexpectedly!!!!! It barely works unless I press down with added pressure!! Help!?!?!?

TMI (too much information - I don't want to know about your toilet activities and I guess neither does anyone else here)
you could (once the phone has dried out and you hav waited a few days and are game to turn it on) go to settings/general/accessibility and turn on assistive touch.  A little button will appar on the screen and you can drag it around if it gets in the way.  If you tap on the button then tap on device then hold the little padlock for a while it will turn the phone for you

  • How to fix iphone 5 lock button after water damage?

    So earlier today I had dropped my iphone 5 into the toliet. Now I had just peed in the toliet.. and I grabbed the phone out asap. It was in there no longer then 2 seconds. I pulled it out, dried it off and it turned on. The only problem it had was the speakers didnt work but I found out that if you put a q tip in the headphone jack thatll fix it. So I fixed that and everything seemed to be working good. Then after about an hour I notice when I push the lock the response was delayed.. it took about 2 seconds after I hit the button for it to turn off. Then later it just totally stopped working. I cant turn on or off my iphone with using the power button on the top. Well I turned it off by going into the settings now I have it in rice. Anyone know how I can fix this? Will the rice work or is it just pretty much dead? what can I do? Thanks.

    Without a working lock screen button, you'll probably have to wait for the battery to go dead.  Once it doesn't wake up by pressing the home button you can plug it into a charger and it will eventually reboot.

  • IPhone 4S lock button extreemly stiff?

    Today my iPhone 4S lock button suddenly became stiff and requires a lot more force to depress, I can't see any dirt beneath the button. Is there any fixes for this? I knocked the back a few weeks ago and its cracked on the other side, will I still be covered by warrenty if I take it to the Apple store?

    your phone will NOT be covered by warranty as it's clearly sustained accidental damage.  You can have your phone replaced for $199 ($59 if you purchased AppleCare+).  That's what Apple will offer. 
    You can try a 3rd party iPhone repair shop if you don't want your phone exchanged.

  • My iPhone 5 lock button has stopped working

    My iPhone 5 lock button has stopped working, it says on the website that certain models can be sent in to be replaced and that my serial number is one of these, but I am out of warranty and will not allow me to contact Apple without payng £25, is anyone else had the same issue as I don't want to pay out money to get something fixed that Apple have recognised to be faulty, and I don't live anywhere near an Apple Store

    Hi
    The £25 charge is a support charge for iPhones out of free support, you should not be charged for requesting support for a recall issue however if you can stretch to get to an Apple Store it is worth it resolving any issues face to face rather than email or phone is just easier.

  • How to fix iphone 5s stack recovery mode..Please help me

    How to fix iphone 5s stack recovery mode..i have tried So many ways and aloso tryed with  3rd party software but nothing happens...i trying with iTunes but error 14  message appare..i am from bd that's why in my country doesn't have any apple service center

    Error 14 is typically a hardware failure, but can be caused by security software...anti-virus, firewalls, etc. Given what you've posted, I suspect a hardware failure, & if that's the case, you won't be able to restore the phone. You'll need to find a service center to confirm.

  • IPhone 5 Lock Button Broke

    Hi, just this last week my iPhone's lock button has started playing up. It isn't locking when i press the right part of the lock button but is when i press the left side of the lock button. A few friends have told me to go into the apple store but i have done this before and they don't seem very helpful if you're not purchasing anything, i suppose it just depend on who you have serving you. Anyways just wondered can anyone shed any light on this? my iPhone has just gone out of warranty on the stroke of new year which is just great, this leads me to think nothing can be done. But please if anyone has any information it would really help thanks.

    Apple announced a lock button repair/replacement program today if your serial number is on the list.
