How to fix my lock button?

my lock button is loose and jammed i cant turn my phone off or even lock it. i cant afford a new phone and i dont have a warrenty either on my phone. what can i do?

As a rule, Apple does not repair phones. They replace them. An out of warranty replacement for an iPhone 4 is $149. It wouldn't hurt to make an appointment at the genius bar. They may tell you they can fix it, but don't be surprised if they say you need a replacement.
Or you could try a 3rd party repair service.

    Hi cwether9!
    I have an article that can help you troubleshoot that issue. The article is all about iPhone hardware troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Specifically, the section you will want to reference is right here:
    Buttons and Switches
    Sleep/Wake button will not lock or unlock iPhone
    To lock the phone, press the Sleep/Wake button. Note: By default, if you don't touch the screen for a minute, iPhone locks automatically.
    To unlock iPhone, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the slider.
    If either of the above steps don't work, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    If the iPhone will not power off, reset it.
    Try to lock or unlock the phone.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • How to get my lock button to stop turning volume down then locking, and my side volume button to stop locking my iPod?

    Recently sent my iPod touch 4 generation into a local place for a battery change, and now it's suddenly swapped the lock button and lower side volume button. The lock button now turns the volume down then locks, and the volume button turns down and locks too. Anybody know how to stop this? It's annoying! Thanks for your help:)

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
      If still problem take it back to where you got it fixed. They messed up.

  • Change button setup? (Would fix broken lock button problems!)

    Hello there!
    My lock button on the top of my iphone 4s is broken. This seems to be a really common problem that costs a lot to fix.
    Is there anyway you could simply make another button (for example your increase volume button) have the same functions as the lock button?
    This would make people with broken lock buttons able to turn on/off and lock/unlock their phones again!
    Any app that does this or something? Shouldn't it at least be possible? Thank you very much!

    There's no solution available.

  • How much would Verizon charge to fix a lock button?

    I don't have any insurance or a warranty. Could you tell me how much it cost if I brought it to Verizon? Or could verizon even fix it?

    Verizon no longer repairs phones as they did years ago.
    Bring your iPhone to an Apple Store and they will fix it. If under a year old Apple has a year warranty.
    Good Luck

  • How to fix mix of buttons on USB keyboard?

    Hi
    Today I experienced a non-serious, but annoying error with my USB-keyboard.
    There's two buttons mixed up; ' and <, so whenever I press <, my mac types ' and vice versa.
    The problem is not present at the keyboard on my macbook, but on every USB keyboard I try to connect.
    Any ideas for a fix?

    > I have a number key that "sticks".
    > Seems as if the spring is no longer working.
    > Does anyone know of a way to fix this without having to purchase a new keyboard?
    I think you will need new keyboard because its not possible to replace the single buttons
    You can remove the single key caps but you can not remove the button
    Im afraid; you will need to purchase a new keyboard and then could replace this
    The keyboard replacement is not really tricky. Two screws secure the keyboard.
    Both screws are hidden under the thin plastic cover above the F1-F12 button row
    If you would remove the plastic cover and the both screw then you would be able to lift out the keyboard but be careful, the keyboard is connected to the motherboard with an flat cable

    Tried once.
    About a year ago. Got an answer like "Google should fix their bugs themselves".
    Should try another one time.
    Is there any workaround? I can't be the only person with this problem.
    Here is a testcase application: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8422244/ADF/ToolbarButtonsApp.zip
    In Google Chrome right-hand toolbar buttons get hidden after table row selection or left links click (on PPR).
    Found the answer at once. ADF conflicts with Chrome AdBlock extension.
