HT4993 my lock button on top is stuck help

how do i fix the lock screen on the top

Mine is too! There is really no at- home way to fix this. There is something you can use to fix it MOMENTARILY WITHOUT USING THE LOCK BUTTON!!!!!!
STEP 1: Go to settings.
STEP 2: Go to General.
STEP 3: Click Accessibility.
STEP 4: Scroll down. Under Physical & Monitor, there should be a white box that says AssistiveTouch. Click on it.
STEP 5: Click on. Now, you can turn it off and lock the screen without using the lock button (Which is stuck)! There should now be a little white dot in the area of you screen. You can actually control where it is by dragging it to a corner of the screen. If you click on the white dot and click Devices, you can see that you can do all sorts of things. You can rotate the screen, lock it, turn the volume up and down, and shake it (that's if you are to lazy to change the music)!  If you want to turn your iPod off, just hold down on the lock screen icon and it should bring you to the power slider! The only thing is, you have to plug the iPod in (As if you were going to charge it) for it to turn on!
I highly recommend that you go to the closest Apple store. They will help you. The amount of which they charge you depends on how stuck it is. If it is minor, they won't charge you a whole lot. But if they have to take the whole thing apart, they will charge you a fair amount of money.
If they cannot fix it at all, then they will give you a new iPod. That fee will be from $99 to $199! (But for a new iPod that's not too bad. I got mine for almost $300!)
I hope this helped!

  • My lock button on top of my iphone 4 is completely stuck down. Also, my iphone completely shut off and will not turn back on and is nonresponsive to a charger. Is there a way I can revive it? Is there a way I can get my pictures and videos off of it?

    Please help me!!! The lock button on top of my Iphone 4 is pushed down completely and is stuck! And then yesterday I looked down and my iphone was completely black. It would not turn on seeing as how I could not push the top button to reset it to turn back on and then also it would not respond to a charge. I was wondering if anyone could suggest anything at all in how to turn it back on and bring it back to life and if there was any way I could save my photos and such off there! Thank you!!

    SIDE NOTE!!!!!!!!!
    This phone does NOT have water damage and was working just fine until i had this problem

  • Stuck lock button on iPhone 4s, Stuck lock button on iPhone 4s

    My lock button on top of phone is stuck down slightly still works but have to push it harder. How do I fix it ?

    Hello Jsdima9113,
    The steps below can help resolve issues with a non-functional sleep/wake button on your iPhone.
    Sleep/Wake button won't 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.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

    Hi Welcome to the Forums!
    You can't disable or re-assign the key lock button on your 9320, But you can on the "Convenience keys", the buttons on the left and right side of your device. Here's how: Assign an application to a convenience key.

  • HT4993 my lock buttons is jammed what can be done

    I bought this phone new is December. Full price. Now 7 months later got a jammed lock button. It can still be used but super inconvient.You may already understand this. We are 2 hours from a apple store and sprint isn't allowed to work on them. I can not be without some type of phone to send it in. Please let me know of a way this can be handled. $600.00 is alot of money to only fully work 7 months.
    Thanks so much,
    Colleen Pachuca

    The fastest way to have it fixed is to drive to the applestore, you can back up to iCloud and they will give you a new device. Happened to my home key on my iPhone 4 and they replaced. it, but they can replace it in the apple store so it might be worth the 2 hour drive.
    Hope that helps

  • My lock button doesn't work. It didn't break, it just stopped working

    Ok. So apparently during a workout outside, my brand new, month old iPhone 4S decides it wants to workout too. So I brought it to my workout, put it in a backpack, and set the bag down as I normally do. The dew on the grass that morning apparently casused enough condensation to trigger my litmus paper, and now my brnad new iPhone has no warranty, hence my question here. I have been searching for a week or 2 now on information for this, and can find nothing. Apple will do nothing but tellme they can replace the phone for $200 but then won't wanswer questions about the issue itself, and I seem to be the only iPhone owner in the world with this problem, so it's nowhere on the intarwebz.
    So my lock button, up top, on the shoulder, stopped working. It didn't break, it didn't get stuck down, it just stopped working. Like, the screen flashed (go to wake the phone up, it didn't wake up, so I pressed the button again, and it flashed on and then off again real quick, like normally would). Hit it again, nothing. Hit the Home button, woke up. Played with phone, etc, went to put to sleep...... nothing. Hit the button multiple times, nothing. Button still clicks down and functions as the button itself should, but no sleep or wake. The button only actually does what it's supposed to do when I hard reset, or the phone is off and I'm turning it on. I can't take a screenshoot of the phone, and every now and then my phone will be just sitting on the table or wherever, and it will wake up, the "Slide to Close" bar pops up, and then 15 seconds later, goes back to bed.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue, and what should I look at fixing inside? I have not taken this one apart yet as I don't have the tools anymore, waiting on them to get here, but I figure Apple has screwed me on my warranty, so I'm just going to fix it myself. Never had this specific issue before, so I'm not really sure what the **** is messed up until I can take a look inside. Any help until then would be wonderful. Sorry for the long back story, and thanks for looking.

    Your problem is rare from the symptoms you describe. Most lose the click function, yours still has it. Yours functions sporadically or only for certain functions. Maybe it is liquid damage causing this. Maybe it will dry and be OK.
    While waiting for your Pentalobe Screwdriver, try a Firmware Restore with iTunes. See if this helps. If you still decide to procede, the first step inside should be to carefully disconnect the battery at its connector. Also all the screws inside are different sizes, except for some of the Screen screws, so keep them well sorted.

  • HT4528 hard to press lock button. how can i fix it or how much would it be to fix it? i have Iphone4s and its only a year old

    My lock button on top of my phone does not work. In order for it to work it needs to be pressed really hard. Phone was not dropped or damaged and just started having this problem. Concerned because cannot afford a new phone so i would like to know how to fix this problem.

    If you're within the first year of purchase, or if you purchase AppleCare/Apple protection plan the warranty is extended to two years, then you can get the device replaced for free under warranty.  Just set an appointment at a local retail store or call 800-MY-APPLE to determine if a replacement device is needed.

  • Is there any way to get my lock button unstuck without having to go to an Apple store?

    My iPod lock button happens to be stuck and I would like to be able to lock it.
    The closest Apple store is about 40 minutes away, so I'd also like to fix it without having to go all the way out there.
    Thank you.

  • My lock button is broken. What can I do to fix it?

    All of a sudden my lock button just started getting stuck and then it just stopped working all together.

    You can make an appointment at any Apple store & the genius bar will replace your phone for US $149. Apple does not fix, they replace the phone.

  • Lock button on iphone is in an angle

    Hi!
    I was just wondering if the silver coloured "lock" button on top of the iphone 3gs is supposed to be in an angle down to the left, towards the SIM card slot? It works fine and all, just wanted to check.
    Best regards,

    I am having same problem as this one. will warranty fix this problem? In Thailand, they said that the button function is still fine, they cannot do anything with it. I was so upset. I have to push the button really hard all time.

  • Will Apple replace my iPhone 5 for free if the lock button is not working properly?

    My iPhone 5 was bought in March 2013 and broke in January 2014 so I still have a few months left on my one year warranty.
    My lock button did not get stuck or jammed, but all of a sudden it just would not work.  I don't notice anything different about it and it still makes a "click" noise when I press it but, it wont do anything or respond to anything.  Clearly something is wrong with it and I am not sure why.
    I have my assessive touch ON but I would rather use my lock button.
    If I bring it into Apple will they replace it for FREE if my one year warranty isn't over and my lock button just will not respond to me pressing it?
    THANK YOU. PLEASE HELP.

    If Apple determines that it is eligible for coverage under the warranty then they will either replace it or fix it.
    In my experience,, if it is truly just a faulty button, then they will fix it but the tech will make that determination after inspection.
