IPad mini top volume button stuck

My son just received the ipad mini for Christmas and the top volume button is stuck. Do I just take this back to the place it was purchased to get it repaired?

Oh, well, it may matter. You would have to ask the retailer what their policy is.

IPAD MINI UPPER VOLUME BUTTON STUCK..HELP??!

My iPad mini (it has a Smart Cover on,front only) fell from a dressing table onto very soft carpet,however the upper volume key has stopped working, supposedly jammed? But there isn't the volume icon on the screen. I don't have warranty on it, so if I take it into the store what will they do and how much will it cost?
Thankyou x

Hey Oliviamarylou,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides basic information on iPad repairs. However, in all honesty you may want to take the device into the store to have the issue diagnosed.

IPad Mini decrease volume button suddenly stuck down... Overuse?

A few nights ago, as I was watching YouTube, my decrease volume button on my 1st Gen iPad Mini got jammed down suddenly... It literally was working perfectly moments before. If you press down hard you can still turn the volume down, but it seems to just be stuck down. My Mini has always been in a case (looks brand new, no dents and such) and the power, increase volume buttons still 'click' and work perfectly but I've had it since Christmas 2012 so I think it could just be overuse. Any ideas on how to repair it?
Thank you!

Hello thisiscourtney-
I’m not sure if Apple still performs repairs on 1st Gen iPads anymore, but my recommendation would be to take it to an Apple store or contact Apple directly here for more assistance.
My guess is that most likely it would be uneconomical to fix, but that’s obviously your decision.
Thanks for posting!

Ipad mini loose volume buttons

I had my ipad mini with retina display for 2 weeks now and my volume buttons are loose. I'm very happy with my ipad but the fact that my volume buttons are loose just bothers and I would hate to go back to apple to complain about such a small issue. Is there a possibility for the loose volume button to break in the future?

It might. You need to make an appointment at your local apple store, take it in and have them look at it. Before you go in, be sure to back everything up because apple stores don't repair in store, they swap your malfunctioning device for a replacement.

Ipad Volume Button Stuck/Dented

My iPad 2's volume button is stuck/dented, not sure how it happened but it's dented in in the middle and it's stuck on the volume up and I can't click it to turn the volume down. I heard it's expensive to bring it into the store to fix, anyone have ideas how to undent it/unstuck it?
Thanks!

TThe volume button on an iPad 2 is a rocker type switch. It is lower in the center and that may be what you think is a dent. Try alternately pushing the up or down side of the switch while lightly pushing a little up or down. Hopefully this will free the switch. An Apple technician may be able to correct this problem Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Having a technician look at the iPad won't cost you anything and the switch might be easily fixed.

When selecting the camera on 3gs the screen just goes black i can still take a photo using the top volume button but not with the screen please help

hello there
when selecting the camera on my 3gs the screen goes black and has no responce i can take a picture with the top volume button but cannot see it until i open photos
please can anyone help
thankyou andy

Try closing the Camera app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset (unless this is what you mean by powering off and restarting) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My Nokia lumia 620 top volume button got faulty, I...

My nokia lumia 620 top volume button somehow went inside the phone and I can't increase the volume, its stuck at 0! Is there any way on Windows Phone to increase the volume without the damn key? I need a solution because my warranty is in another town and I won't be there in a week.

I get the issue is annoying, but maybe you should look into getting some different shells. Besides making a fashion statement it'll fix a broken button in no time.. (well a few seconds that is).
Besides.. choice is always good.. As a Dutch national the colour for the next few days will be.. Orange..

Volume buttons stuck! Any idea what to do?

Volume buttons stuck! Any idea what to do?

You could try leaving it in an airing cupboard for a few days to dry out thoroughly
Some people also say to put it in a bag of rice .....
People also argue that you should not use a blower such as a hair dryer to dry it out as this can mess things up even more
Personally I am not interested in the bickering people have about this and when this happens to me or people I know I just leave it in the airing cupboard, probably 50% success rate....
IF this fails and it is broken for good:
you can take it to an Apple store and give them the iPod along with a fee and they will give you a fully functional REFURBISHED model
or you can trade it in for 10% off a NEW model of any type apart from iPod shuffle. Does not matter if it is completely destroyed you can still get 10% off (at least at my local Apple store you can)

IPad volume button stuck

I purchased my iPad from eBay for a decent price, it was listed as For Parts or Not Working. The only reason it was listed under the condition is because the volume up button is stuck. The rest of the iPad is great! I would rate the body a 9/10 and the screen a 10/10. So far, the only temporary solution I've found is to manually lower the volume, which worked, but I'd like to be able to watch movies and go on YouTube with this thing. The problem with that: when the volume is on, the sound effects icon shows on the screen and won't go away. I tried to chat with customer support already, but the chat window didn't load properly and I don't know if my local Apple store will tell me how much it'll cost to fix without charging me a consultation fee (just to do an online chat, I would've been charged $19!).
So, please, if anyone can tell me what the cost would be to fix the button, I would appreciate the info.
Thanks!

My iPad's volume button stuck

My iPad's volume button is stuck. There is a little dent and now the button cannot be pressed, the volume is also stuck at no sound. I just left it on the table in the case. It was fine less than 20 minutes ago. My basic 1 yr hardware warrenty is still not over so will apple fix it for me?

My also.i do this : open the iPad with special tools and then I get of the screw

HT4061 I can't use my ipad mini. All buttons are frozen including the on and off, can't even find the serial number, can't see it on the back, can't find it under settings because no buttons will work. Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

My ipad mini is frozen and won't allow me to use any buttons. I can't access settings to get the serial number for Apple Support and I can't read the serial number from the back. It's too small and shadowy. There is a message that reads "ICloud Backup--This ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Back ups happen when this ipad is plugged in,locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."
It won't allow me to shut if off using the on and off button. I stuck a paper clip into the tiny reset button, but nothing happens.
Has anyone else had this problem? Please help,

This is the most common "fix" when devices are behaving strangely. It only takes a minute and there's no risk of lost data. This is the reason you'll see this fix being suggested so often.

IPad Mini retina volume

There has been a lot of talking about the volume on the iPad mini retina being low. But I haven't found any discussion about the "synchronization" of the speakers with the volume popup indicator when you use the device buttons to control it. I will try to describe it. When you use the device buttons to increase the volume from 0% to 100%, you do one of sixteen stops with every keypress, which are showed as squares on the volume popup indicator, right? The volume difference between the stop 14 and 15 is more noticeable. From stop 0 to 14 the volume increases slowly, but at the stop 15 it peaks up.
Have anyone notice that?

Just thinking about my problem today and was thinking that before I go near the genius desk that I have one of their sales team demonstrate a machine to me, I'd assume that the demo models would be pretty fine tuned.
Really is a pity about the sound

IPad mini retina volume - what should I say to genuis?

About ten days back I received a gift of an iPad Mini Retina (32g) from a person I’ve been helping over this past few years. Completely unnecessary; completely taken by surprise; and completely delighted.
With the exception of an old iPod it is my only other Apple product, I need some advice and views from you hardened Apple guys.
Early next week I’m seeing one of Apple’s geniuses for several reasons. The main reason is the issue of volume. Like I’ve read on here and on other forums it seems really quite poor.
I’ve been watching Will Smith in ‘Seven Pounds’ and well it’s just about listenable. If I were to be watching it where there was background noise then I’d probably give up. Yes it is better with ear phones and I haven’t yet got around to streaming it to my TV. I haven’t watched any action films yet but I’m guessing that if there is a gun fight, if buildings are getting burned and blown up there will be no oomph to the sound and sound really is an important part of these films.
Other than Netflix and Bookshelf I’ve put no other apps on the machine and I haven’t transferred any of my music onto it, so with the exception of YouTube, which does seem a little better, I can’t judge what the sound is like there.
Anyway you Apple guys is this a hardware fault, is it a software fault, or to be honest is it just that you can’t expect much volume, much oomph, from a machine of this size?
I’m not tech minded, and as mentioned above I’ve only got this and an old iPod so I’ve no other Apple products to judge it against.
What should I be saying to the guy on the genius counter? What questions should I be asking and what should I expect from him?
I’ve read that these guys can do quite a lot without having to seek authority from above. If this were just a fault on the 32g machine then, if I could negotiate it, I’d quite happily upgrade to the 64g machine.
If it makes any difference I live in the UK
Thanks for any advice you can offer, I’m sure I’ll be back!

I could not turn up the volume on my iPad using the volume button on the side. Is there any way to fix this?

I could not turn up the sound (volume) on my iPad 2 using the volume button on the side. This happens after I have reduced the volume to minimum using the same volume button. The volume indicator does not move up at all. Note: it was not on mute, so the issue seems to be the button.

Try this and see if it works.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
