How to unjam sleep/power button? iPod touch 4th generation

A few days ago, I was using my ipod touch 4th generation. It working fine. A minute later, I went to use it again, & for some reason my sleep/power button was jammed. I have to use immense pressure to make it go to sleep. Is there a way I could get it unjammed without opening my iPod? I don't want to risk it breaking it any further. I would take it to the Apple Store, but I don't have warranty on it anymore since I got it a little over a year ago when it first released. My screen is also cracked from last December. Will the Apple Store still fix the sleep/power button and maybe my screen without warranty? & how much will be? Individual or both? Much appreciated!

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.
Some of the suggestions in the following previous dicussion are also applicable to the power switch.

  • How can i recover my lost ipod touch 4th generation even if the battery is dead?

    It has been almost a month now that ive lost my ipod touch 4th generation, ive looked everywhere and cant seem to find if, i dont have the serial number, and when i go into the locate my iphone on the apple store, it doesnt work because my batery is dead, and if noone ever finds it, he cant conect it to power suply and conect it to the internet...

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • How do I find out my iPod touch 4th generation warranty information

    I dropped my iPod touch 4th generation on the tar and cracked the screen. I am unaware if you need your warranty information to get it repaired. This is the first time it has ever Borlaug in the time frame of the warranty. If I do need it how do I find it, I have been on the site for about two hours and it is not telling me how to.

    A broken screen is not covered by the warranty.  Here is a list of out-of-warranty replacement pricing: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/ You do not need any information to get this price.

  • How can I fix a frozen iPod touch 4th generation?

    I tried to put my pass code in and it frozen and wouldn't unlock.  The screen then went to the apple logo screen for five minutes.  From the apple logo screen then went to a white screen with colorful vertical lines on the screen.  It's now been on this last screen for thirty minutes.  I don't really want to replace it or bring it to an apple store because the nearest store is over two hours away.  I've tried to press the power and home button and I've held the power button down for five minutes with no results. 

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • How do I fix updates in iPod Touch 4th generation?

    I know I cannot update my iPod Touch to iOS 7.
    The App Store icon shows that there are three updates available, but when I go to the update page there are none shown. If I look at all updates I notice there are three apps in the list that show as needing an update. When I click on any of these apps I get a popup screen that tells me the update doesn't apply to version 6.1.3.
    I'm fine with that, but I would like to see the updates not show up on the App Store icon if they cannot be installed in 6.1.3.
    Is Apple trying to tell me I should retire my three-year-old iPod Touch?
    Bill

    That's because there is a bug in iOS 6.1.3 that puts the notification badge on the App Store icon when there is an update available even if that update is only compatible with iOS 7.  Therefore, you don't see the app under Updates because it is not compatible with your iOS version, but the bug still causes the notification badge.  If you leave it on the Updates page for a little while, the badge will go away.  But it will reappear after a few hours
    The only thing to do is to report it as a bug to Apple using http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html .  Maybe if enough of us do this, they will fix it.

  • How do you find your lost ipod touch 4th generation?

    Can you use the serial number to find it?

    The SN will only idenify the iPod when it is found. Unless you had already set up the FindMyiPod feature, wifi is on and some other conditions are met, you look for it like any "dumb" device like a shoe.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation no longer holds it's charge for more than 40mins,needs new internal battery but I have no idea how to go about this. i love my ipod and don't want it to loose power completely, can anyone help?

    My ipod touch 4th generation no longer holds it's charge for more than 40mins from full power, think it needs a new internal battery but have no idea how to go about this and am no longer covered by my guarantee. Can anyone advise me on what's best? Thanks in advance

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use an Apple wall-mount charger.  Do NOT use a computer's USB port.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
    According to Apple:
    Use Your iPod Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.
