IPhone 2G restart loop/broken power button

My original iphone has a broken power button.  Yesterday, out of nowhere, after taking calls, listen/watching podcasts, texting, etc, I get the restart loop.  I waited until the battery died so maybe I could get it restored if I sync it to itunes.  Didn't work.  itunes didn't recognize it and it charged up to looping again.  Any suggestions?  Is this a brick for good?  I preordered the 4S last week; jealousy maybe?

Usally they will just give you a a brand new iphone 4 assunming you are still in a apple care plan? But i dont think they will give you a iphone 5 even at cost.

    How to restart iPhone 5 with broken power button and frozen home button?

    hmm..just realised that waiting here for answer is like watching paint drying.. Thanks Apple!
    So best option is..
    1) backup your phone
    2) log to iCloud
    3) erese your phone
    4) pug and restore your phone from backup
    .. I'm clearly starting to dislike this company and seriously considering switching to someone else.

  • IPhone disabled, broken power button, no passcode, how to restore?

    iPhone 5 says "iphone is disabled", the top power button is broken, no possible way of putting in the passcode. Need to restore/restart/unlock/whatever it.
    How do?

    Try this:
    Use Find My iPhone
    If you enabled Find My iPhone, you can use it to erase your device.
    Go to icloud.com/#find to see if you enabled Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices at the top of your browser window.
    Select your device and click "Erase [device]" to erase your device and its passcode.
    Use the Setup Assistant on your device to restore the most recent backup of your device.

  • Iphone cant restore- Broken power button

    Hi. My friend bought a factory unlocked iphone 3g from a friend here in norway which had a broken power button. he thought it would be ok without it until...
    IT GOT BRICKED!!!
    "Somehow" he bricked it and it doesnt want to turn on. i tried getting it into dfu mode/restore mode or whatever its called by holding down the home button while plugging it into itunes. it worked the first time but while it was downloading the new firmware, the cable got unplugged. we tried to get it to get recognised by itunes, but this time it didnt work. not sure where the original owner got it from, i think maybe from norway, but im not sure. can he repair it here in norway and how much would you expect the price to vary from (any currency ok)

    no

  • Broken power button

    broken power button

    I sent in my iphone5 for a repair/replacement unit on november 9, 2013, I was having an issue with the power button "doesn't work at all". It has no dents or any other issues aside from the POWER BUTTON. The good thing about apple is that the customer is always updated as to what exact stage of your iphone is at. After 20days, I received a text message: I went to apple to get the replacement iphone5. The  POWER BUTTON issue is resolved but i noticed some other issue on the replacement unit. New ISSUES: Dents on the right side near the screen and it also has screen discoloration on the screen itself. It got worse! There might have been some other issue on the replacement unit if I had used it for a couple of hours. I am so disappointed about the service. I asked the manager to have it replaced but I need to wait for another 2 week to 1 month TAT turn around time. Apple would lose a lot of its loyal customers if they would not do anything about it for improvement of their service when it comes to replacing a defective unit.

  • Broken power button on iMac G4

    I am considering the purchase of this iMac. It has a broken power button. What are the implications of this? The present owner says that he just plugs it in and it starts up, and that besides he just leaves it on all the time anyway. How big of an issue is this? Can you advise me on how easy a power button might be to repair or if it is very necessary to repair it (assuming their is a workaround-keyboard startup?).
    Thanks in advance!

    Given the said iMacG4 model and year are not discussed, one possibility
    may be to buy a third-party for Apple Macintosh keyboard with power key.
    If nothing else is wrong with the computer, it may run awhile without trouble;
    but access to the physical power key (on the logic board; may be hard to
    buy the part by itself to replace it) is handy in troubleshooting or restarting
    when something freezes up. Unplugging and re-plugging the iMacG4 to
    make it go/make it stop is not recommended. Issues can result; I am
    aware of a few problems in the G4 and earlier G3 iMacs and others, due
    to the owner unplugging the machine instead of performing maintenance
    or repairs in a timely and orderly fashion.
    Since that machine is likely no longer covered under an AppleCare Plan,
    you could either have someone else eventually replace the logic board
    or other parts as you find them; or if you are technically minded and have
    a good attention to detail with adequate work habits, fix it yourself. The
    service manual, a download in PDF for techs, may still be available. It
    was intended for trained personnel, and damages worse than the first
    problem may result from improper procedures being done inside the iMac.
    That said; good luck & happy computing!

  • MacBook frozen with broken power button

    i have a 2010 MacBook Pro that has a broken power button, which seems to be a common problem with this model. To turn it on, I have to open the case and short out two pins on the motherboard. Lately, my MacBook has been freezing on me, which leads to a solid black screen. I can move the mouse around but there is nothing to click on. Since my power button is broken, I cannot just hold it down to force a shutdown like usual and I do not have time to let the laptop's battery burn itself out all day so I can start it back up.
    Is there anything I can do to turn my Mac off while it's still running? I have the back case open and the fans are going. I'm afraid to poke around in there while it's running.
    Thanks.

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

    I have a virgin moble iphone that i found, the power button doesn't work and the phone is saying disabled,what can i do to fix it?

    Probably nothing, the phone has a high likelihood of being stolen and if you try to Restore it you will run into Activation Lock. Turn it in to the local authorities.

  • Boot loop and power button broken

    Hi,
    I have a new problem with my iPhone 4 8go
    Tonight the battery died so when I woke up I plugged it in like I normally do, but after the usual white apple when the phone turns on, I see my lock screen for 2 seconds before the phone shuts down automatically.
    If I keep it plugged it stays in a boot loop and just stay off if I unplug it.
    I've done my research about that issue, which seems common, and it looks like going in DFSU mode and restore from backup might work.
    Problem is, my power button is broken and doesn't work anymore, so I can't do the manipulation with home and power button.
    I have downloaded redsnow to try to go in DFSU mode without button but due to the boot loop, the phone is not detected in iTunes...
    Is there any way to force the phone in DFSU mode or anything else I can do?

    That is a software to hack your phone.  You can't get any assistant here per the term of use of this forum.

  • Reboot/restart ipod touch with broken power button

    I dont think my ipod touch is broken but it wont turn on, the power button has always been broken and it cant be repaired. Is there a program or something i can download to completelty restart my ipod, I dont care about my apps or anything. I just want it to work

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Instead of using the puttons to place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                         
    RecBoot tip
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    - 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.
