IPhone 3g - I have to power down to change screens. The button is not working. What do I do?

The button on my IPhone 3G is not working to change screens. I have to power down every time I want to change screens say from phone to the facebook app. I've tried cleaning out the connection with an air blower. It did seem to help at first but now, nothing helps. Thanks for any and all help you can give me to try to solve this issue.

Try resetting the SMC.
MacBook and MacBook Pro with a battery you can remove
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer
To reset the SMC on newer Mac portables with a battery you cannot remove
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

The phone is damaged. Take it in to an Apple Store or authorized service provider. More than likely you will have to pay for an out of warranty replacement.

On my MacBook Pro, sometimes when I click to close tabs in Safari the button will not work. I have to click on some other part of the screen and then it will. This happens in other programs like Word/Excel for changing font, etc. Solution/Suggestions?

I have an ipad 1 16gb, wifi and the wifi will not work. Under settings, it says "no wifi". Has anyone else had this problem?

I have an ipad1 and the wifi will not work. It is a wifi only model which makes it more interesting. When I go into settings, it says "no wifi". Does anyone have a solution to my problem? It is much appreciated.

If you are positive there is a good Wi-Fi signal in the area of the iPad I would first reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't work, I would turn off your iPad and then restart your Wi-Fi router. Unplug the router for 30 seconds then plug it back in. Once the router had completed its restart process and established a link to the Internet then turn your iPad on. Make sure Settings > Wi-Fi> On.

Can I power cycle a 2G touch if the button does not work?

The power button on my touch has been flaky since by toddler put it in her mouth and got slobber all over it. It has stopped working completely and I would like to know if there is a way to power cycle it when that button does not work.
Other than the power button the device is working fine.

I know of know other way. However, this fix for the Home button may be applicable.

Bought iphone 5C on December. No additional warranty purchased. The phone keeps not working and the top and bottom right corners look melted. Can I send it in amd get a new one on manufacturer warranty? Or what are my options? Thanks

I Purchased iphone 5C on December 2014. However now it's very difficult to have it working. The screen is constantly not working and the right side bottom&top does looks like its melted? the cover I mean , which maked the phone slide out of its cover. I did not purchase anny additional warranty or insurance so I don't know what to do with it? Can i send it in and they can send me a new one under the manufacturer warranty or what do i do with it?
I Have alwa had an iphone but this 5c is making me never have one again. Thanks in advance

Each iPhone comes with a one-year warranty. You said it looks melted? That's going to be difficult to prove that you did not damage it, and it happened on its own. That is the only way it would be covered.

My iphone screen is black and all the buttons are not working

The screen of my iPhone 4 suddenly went irresponsive and within a few seconds it went completely black. I tried to power it off and also tried the home button but nothing seems to be responding.
Incoming calls still ring out but I am not able to answer the calls and cannot see anything on the screen.
I connected it to my laptop, the iphone appears on "my computer" and I was able to see pictures and videos that are on the phone, however iTunes cannot detect the devise.
Any help please?
Thanks

The phone is now working
I followed the steps in the below link

I have tried several times to download Mavericks, the download will NOT work. All software is up to date. Any suggestions? Running OSx 10.7.5

I have tried several times (since October!) to download Mavericks from the app store. It says it is downloading, but NEVER gets started. All of my software is up to date, and I don't know what to do differently. Any ideas?

My iphone screen wont work, and my off lock screen button does not work, what can i do?

Hey guys,
can you please help! I have never been in this situation and i need help desperately

Verizon does not fix/repair/replace devices.
Apple provides all hardware support in the US.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
FYI, they do not fix devices, so backup your device prior to going to the store.

My iphone power button is not working. What can I do?

Hello, I bought an iphone 5 last year and it still in warranty . It has some regular scratches for the use but it never felt down.
The power button is not working now and I sent to an apple retailer here in Brazil (SOMA - Revenda APPLE Solution Expert e Assis. Tecnica Autorizada) to fix it. They refuse to do it saying that the button is not working because of the scratches what I believe is not true. And the retailler suggest to me to buy a new one.
And more, I receive the iphone with the factory configuration and I don’t know why.
I would know what can I do to fix the iphone. And How can I use the warranty here in Brazil.
I couldn't find an e-mail from apple.com support to report this.
I will stay in US next december. I can fix my phone in an Apple Store?
I'm very dissapointed with the technical assistance here in Brazil.
Thank You

Meaning that you cannot restart or reset the phone? If you haven't tried already, try both options.
Otherwise, you can do a backup & restore, or even a restore as new (only after a successful backup).
If the issue persists, then look at a replacement. Either it will be a hardware defect (free if within warranty), or physical damage ($49 with AppleCare Plus, $149 without it.)

HT201252 I cannot get into my IPhone to disable Find My IPhone as the display will not work. Help?

I have an IPhone 5c; the screen and buttons are not working and the display is just black. If i charge it it does nothing except buzz repeatedly. There is so water damage nor have i dropped it. Help?

You go to www.cloud.com, log in with the same Apple ID & password that you used for iCloud/Find My iPhone on the device, go to the Find My iPhone section, and remove it from the account.

My iPhone 5 lock button is not working

Dear sir,
My iPhone 5 lock button is not working please give me an new iPhone I given an compliant on apple store in Bangalore in imagine store in Mastri mall there not responding to my complaint please I suggest you to please replace an iPhone to new one please I suggest you my sleep wake button is not working from few days I love my iPhone please I suggest you to give an new iPhone I thought apple will sought out my problem please I request you I am from Bellary Karnataka India please I request you sir ....please

Hi Atique ur rehman,
Thanks for your query.
If the sleep wake button on your iPhone is unresponsive, first try and reset all setting by going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.
If this does not resolve the problem, I would sound more like a hardware based issue.
I would recommend that you contact AppleCare so they can run further tests and diagnostics to help you solve your solution better.
If you can also access an Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Center, that would be much better.
Go to https://locate.apple.com/country for further support with your device!
Thanks,
KL
