IP5 lock button no longer responding

The lock button on my IP5 has been acting up for the last couple of weeks and this morning it finally stopped working. I am 3 months out of warrenty so that's no an option. My question is, will replacing the power button rectify the problem or will I be wasting my time. Not sure if it goes deeper than just the button.

The repair is extremely difficult. Before proceeding all the way, just connect the new flex and try it out, to see if it fixes the problem, before you take everything apart and install it.

  • My lock button no longer works on my ipod touch and now i have all kinds of problems with it freezing and kicking me out of apps. Is there any way to get this fixed and were would i go to get it fixed?

    Please Help!!!! I have an ipod touch 4th gen.  and since the last update the lock button no longer works, this has caused it to have a lot of problems now like freezing all the time, kicking me out of almost all my apps, some times even when if locks on its own its not locked and buttons with be pushed in my pocket, and this causes the battiery to die fast.   I really love my ipod and would like to just get it fix if possible for a reasonable about of money. Anyone know of a place I can get it fixed in Ft Lauderdale Fl area or is there something I can do?

    Have you tried:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

  • Lock button does not respond

    My iPhone 5's lock button clicks fine when I press on it, but doesn't respond or put the iPhone to sleep after pressing it 5 or 6 times usually. Is this an IOS 7 related issue? Is there a way I can fix it without replacing the lock button?

    This is a common issue faced by many iPhone users, in order to fix this you can try a restore. If that does not work, you should probably take it in for service, if it's out of warranty, there will be a fee. I had to do this to my old iPhone 4 because it wouldn't respond anymore.

  • Endless rebooting, lock button no longer works, restart comes up unwanted

    Hello all! I tried to search online but I was not able to find an answer. My iPhone 3G 3.1.2 (recently updated but had similar problems with 3.0) is practically in unusable condition. It will no longer let me lock the phone, at times, it wants to restart on it's on non-stop and it will go to an endless rebooting cycle on its own. The only time I can stop the endless rebooting cycle is when I plug the iPhone to my computer or stereo integrated car jack. It appears that my phone works ok when it's plugged in but obviously this is an inconvenience. Is this a software issue or has something shorted on the inside? It seems to be getting worse and worse. I hope we can help each other by starting this discussion. Thank you all in advance!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    first thing to try would be a reset, hold the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up.
    If this does not solve your problem, restore "as new iphone" and don't use your backup to get your settings back, your backup may contain corrupt files causing this behavior.

  • Rotation lock button no longer works for iBooks

    I just uploaded the new iOS4 to my iPad and then tried to read a book on iBooks while lying on my side. Apparently, the old rotation lock switch on the upper right side is now a mute switch. Have I lost the ability to prevent rotation of the screen?

    I'm having the same problem and tried double clicking on the home key twice. There are no button on the left of the screen.

  • Iphone 5 lock button no longer works

    The power button/ lock screen button on the top of my phone stopped working.  Is there a way for me to power on and off my phone? Also will Apple replace or fix this on my phone?

    Take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar...some of the US (at least) stores are now able to do in-store repairs so you get to keep your iPhone.

  • Main button no longer responding

    This looks bad news. Suddenly the main, round button (I've forgotten it's official name?) is no longer switching me back to the Home screen. If I press it right now, lightly, hard, whatever, nothing happens.
    I tried switching off and then holding the power button until the Apple symbol appeared, but still the same behaviour.
    In case it's remotely relevant, last night I bought the 'camera connection kit' and successfully used it to transfer many photos from my camera's SD card.
    I have had an intermittently unreliable button before, but nothing as apparently permanent as this.
    EDIT Fixed it minutes later! I thought I'd try individually closing all the many 'multi-processing' icons. I somehow got to that row, closed them, and the button now works again. I've left this post in place in case anyone else has a similar issue.
    I think this points up a flaw or bug. I'd read that the iOS should automatically clear those old apps. But apparently it doesn't work reliably.
    I'm also puzzled why my 'reset' didn't start afresh? Is there some more thorough 'purge'?

    That button is called the home button.
    See the section about the hard reset, but keep all these tips in mind.
    These are basic steps you can try if apps suddenly quit on you or if the your IPad starts to behave erratically. Quite often these simple fixes will resolve your issue.
    Quit the app by double tapping the home button to bring up the multitasking/recents tray at the bottom, hold down on any of the app icons in the tray until all the icons wiggle, then tap the minus sign in the corner to quit the offending app or apps. Try your app again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad until the red slider appears, then slide to the right to power off the iPad. Turn the iPad on again by pressing the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. Once the iPad has fully rebooted, find your app, and tap the icon to relaunch.
    *Try a hard reset by pressing and holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad while holding down on the home button at the bottom, until the Apple logo appears and the iPad restarts. Launch the app again and see what happens.*
    Other helpful tips can be found in the iPad User Guide starting on page 170 in Tips and Troubleshooting.

  • Lock button no longer working properly

    the button usualy didnt make much to press it. now its like its almost impossible to push it. you really have to hold it tightly to push the button. why is it like this? anyone else have this issue?

    Sounds like it's broken. Make an appointment with Apple.

  • Power\lock button does not respond

    i think this is everyones experience with z2. tnx anyway for the hard reset thing..

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Does the button itself look like it is sunken into the phone or press in too easily when you tap it?

  • Menu Button No Longer Responds

    My mini First Gen MENU button has stopped functioning. Can't navigate backwards any more. Occassionally it starts to work again, but then stops. I just had a new logic board installed and that did nothing. Click wheel is 4 months old. Have reset, of course, to no avail. Would a clean reformatting help, or is this a common problem that requires a more drastic solution?
    Thanks!

    Menu button seems fine. Not physically stuck. Occasionally am unable to turn off iPod by depressing and holding play function.
    My original problem was iPod turned on by itself one night and couldn't shut it off without reset.
    Have not plugged it into computer yet, or done a Restore. Wasn't sure if a software or hardware problem.....or both?
    Thanks for getting back.

  • My iPhone 4 is stuck in the update screen and my lock button is not working. How can I fix this?

    I just tried to update my iPhone 4 to 7.1 and for some strange reason the phone wouldn't update then wanted me  to restore it... (Figures!) But my lock button no longer works so holding the home button and the lock button is a option I have to rule out. I have no way to repair my phone myself. What can I do?

    Hello Edward
    Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.
