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!

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.

  • 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!

  • 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 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.

  • N91 volume button stuck?

    Hi,
    I have an N91 and it seems as though the down volume button on the side of the phone is stuck. During a call, the volume goes all the way down to minimum, then the phone starts beeping constantly (I think the beep sounds when you press the down key when you are on the lowest volume setting). Also, while in music mode, the volume goes all the way down to mute.
    I think this problem causes further issues, as it keeps flicking up the 'keypad locked' screen while the phone is idle and I think this is draining the battery quite quickly.
    When I press the up and down buttons, there is a clear distinctive click so I am not totally convinced that it is a hardware issue.
    I have seen this problem posted in a few places, but there has been no clear answers.
    Any help would be great.
    Cheers,
    Sean.

  • Volume button stuck

    Hello,
    I will try to make my self as understandable as i can, since english isnt my language.
    There are 2 volume buttons on the iphone. One of them is an actual button, on the side, and the other one appears on the screen when youre listening to music. The problem is, if i use the volume ''button'' on the screen to turn the volume up, it automatically slides all the way to the left: minimal volume. I can than turn the volume up on the other button on the side. But still, this is really annoying.
    Is there anyone who recognizes this problem? Ive tried to reset the iphone when i connect it to my computer, without any result.
    I would appreciate some feedback on my problem!
    Sonny

    I had a first gen iPhone that had the same problem accept it would go full blast . The volume button had gotten stuck . the switch under the button had collapsed and would not come back up . I would say that you are suffering from the same thing . If your iphone is still under warranty I would take it to an Apple store and have them check/replace the buttons . Hope this helps.

  • IPad power button stuck

    i need help with my iPad power button ..it got stuck..
    any tips on how to fix it? or should i just go to a apple for repair?..

    Is there a case on the iPad? If there is, try removing it and testing the button again.
    If the issue is not caused by an accessory, the iPad will most likely need service. To get the iPad serviced, just make a reservation with a Genius or call AppleCare.

  • Volume button stuck in down position

    my volume button is stuck in the down position on the + side.  How can I fix this?  Is there a fix for this?  Appreciate any help.

    I had a broken home button within 6 months. It was replaced under warranty. Now I have a broken volume up button less than a year later. They want $65 to fix with 90 day warranty. This is a major defect and they should have recalled these units. It is insane that they are still ignoring this problem and telling people to pay to have it fixed. I'm filing a complaint against Apple.

  • Ipad volume button only says sound effects

    Not sure what happened but my volume button does not operate now on my ipad 2. When I unlock it and try it, it says sound effect.  I have tried all the common remedies posted to no help.  Only sound I can get is from the headphones.  Please help me.

    Nevermind about the help.  I spoke to a friend and he suggested taking Q-Tip, removing part of the cotton, put a little rubbing alcohol on it, then insert it into the headphone jack.  Clean it several times.  Then also do the same to the charging port.  Not sure which fixed it but it works properly now.

  • 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.

  • YT2 Pro Volume button stuck/boots into safe mode

    The Volume down button is stuck on my YT2 Pro and I think this is the reason it now only boots into safe mode.  At first I thought it was an app so I cleared the cach and uninstalled the last 3 apps.  That did not make a difference.   Stil thinking it was a application problem I did a factory reset, nope, still boots into safe mode.   Thats when I noticed that the volume down button is not working.   Anyone else have this issue?   I am calling Lenovo today, w/ the Hard Reset issues and now the volume not working, I think the tablet needs to be replaced.
