IPhone 4 lock button broken, won't turn on

iPhone 4 lock button broken, used assistive touch for the last several months. Today iPhone turned off in my pocket and is unresponsive to even plugging it into charger. Is there any way to get it to restart?

There is nothing you can do as you won't be able to reset the device.
You can wait until the battery goes flat then try connecting it to power so it restarts. If the same issue occours then you'll need to restore it on iTunes by entering recovery mode.

  • IPhone won't turn on (lock button broken)

    iPhone 4s turned off in my pocket and won't turn back on,
    the battery was above 60% and I have it charging for 15mins.
    I checked the cable and it works with my friends phone.
    I cannot hold the lock button and home button(lock button broken)
    I'm a bit confused now as to what I should do? Can I do anything from my itunes? the phone doesn't register with my work laptop but  will try it with my personal laptop when I get home.

    Connect in recovery mode:
    Use recovery mode
    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
    Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."

  • My iPhone shut off and won't turn back on.  What should I do?

    My iphone shut off and won't turn back on.  What should I do?

    sometimes if the battery drains completely you will need to leave it plugged into a charger for 10-15 minutes before you get any activity at all.  this is normal

  • My iPhone lock button is not working

    my iphone lock button is barely working what should i do?

    Thank you for the advice for the lock screen, although useful it does not solve the problem of the buttons not working, really Apple should fix this even though it's over the 12 months, I have had many Iphones now but I've had many problems with them like buttons and screens, I am now going to get one of many other phones that are now as good as Apple Iphone If not better, Apple will be getting old now and competition is much higher , time to move on to the future of better phones )

  • My iPhone lock button is broken..and now the phone is dead and won't turn on! Help!?

    So the lock button on my iPhone 4 is broken, 100%, and the battery died earlier today, when I plug it in, it usually turns on if it has been dead...I tried doing this for hours and nothing happened, I plugged it into 3 different chargers thinking that might be the problem. And since there isn't a apple store close to me, I went to AT&T and they told me I need to do some type of restart (I forget what it's called) it is where you hold down the home and lock button at the same time, but as you can see that wont work since my lock button Is broken. Is there ANYTHING else I can do to fix it!?

    Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • I dropped my iphone 4s and it won't turn back on. Recently my lock button randomly went out and will not work. I've tried connecting it to the wall charger and also in to computer and that's not working. Please Help.

    I can't restart my phone due to my lock button being broken. This has happened to me before and i just restarted it but now i can't.

    It's broken due to neglect, namely being dropped.  Replace it.

  • IPhone 5 lock button broken.

    I bought an iPhone 5 when it first came out and now my lock screen button is broken and barely works. Is there any way I can get this problem fixed?

    Restore iPhone with current iTunes on computer. See if better. If not, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty. Until then use Assistive Touch, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock. This can even turn OFF iPhone, to turn ON connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

  • HT4061 my iphones lock button is broken, and the screen is not cracked but all the settings are set off to the side and i cant type ion my passcode to get into the phone and i cant get into the phone to reset it

    how or what do i have to do to fix this?
    and im at work so i cant get the serial number to you

    my lock button is broken
    If your lock button is broken, the only solution is to get the phone replaced or repaired.  There is no way to reset the phone without a functioning lock button.
    and im at work so i cant get the serial number to you
    This is a user to user tech support form, not Apple support.  The S/N wouldn't provide any solution regardless.

  • Phone has turned off, lock button broken-Any suggestions?

    Hello, last night my phone randomly turned off. The lock button broke about a week ago, so I have no way to turn it back on. I left it plugged into the wall charger all night, but still no success. This morning, I tried plugging it into my laptop to back up my phone, but my computer will not even recognize that it has been plugged in. Do i simply need a new iPhone?

    Plug your iphone to your laptop and follow these steps:
    (This will connect your itunes to your iphone)
    1. Go to Control Panel (on your computer).
    2. Go to Hardware and Sound; Devices and Printers; Unspecified (look for Apple Mobile Device USB Driver)
    3. Right-click, then select properties on the menu list.
    4. Select the "Hardware" tab at the top  When the properties dialog box opens, once more select properties on the lower right hand button.
    5. Under the "Driver" tab menu, the update driver button will be grey and unselectable here. So you need to select and click "Change Settings" button located near the lower left corner of the general tab.
    6. Now you can click the "Driver" tab menu near the top, so you can see the "Update Driver" button.
    7. Select "Update Driver".
    8. Select and click "Browse my computer for driver software".
    9. For Windows 8.1 64 bit, it should be located in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.  
    10. Click Next, and let the driver re-install.
    11. iTunes  11.1.4.62 should open automatically if your iphone is connected already

  • Iphone 5 Lock button Broken! Will i get it replaced?

    So my iphone 5 lock button started to only work on the left side about 2 months ago.
    My nearest apple store is quite far away so o decided to cope with the issue. But not the button does not work at all, it has no click spund and is just broken all together.
    If i travel down to my nearest apple store will i get a replacement? Need to know since the journey alone will cost me a lot of money so i do not want to waste my time.
    Cheers!
    P.S make Apple stores in Wales!

    If the Apple Genius find evidence of misuse or dropping as IW has said it will not be covered by the warranty
    They do not make it up ,if iPhone 5 is pristine and no evidence of damage it will be replaced under warranty
    UK Apple Stores are very fair in my experience
    Make sure you back it up ,if you can as the iPhone will be replaced not repaired

  • My iphone screen blacked out! Lock Button Broken!

    Doesnt show anything but siri works, and makes noise. There has been a similar thread and the solution was to restart the phone by holding down the lock and home button at the same time but my lock button doesnt work !! PLEASE HELP ASAP!

    did you tap the Home Button (Middle circle) to turn it on, then go to settings>accessibility>Assistive Touch>Turn it on (Top one)
    Now there should be a circle in a square, tap it and you get more options, such as for you: Tap the Circle>Device>Lock Screen and your screen will be off.

  • IPad volume button broken, can't turn volume up

    My iPad fell on the floor (tiles) and it got lightly bashed in where the volume roller bar and volume lock button is on the side of the iPad. The volume icon is now constantly displayed on the screen and I can't turn it up (it is not on mute). Does anyone know how I can turn the volume up without the volume roller button? Thanks!

    Hey Bailey,
    You have a couple options:
    1) Use the volume slider in the software (ie, music app, youtube app etc), however if the button is jammed broken in the up position that may not work
    2) Apple will swap your iPad out with a refurbished starting at $249 and up
    3) The final and most economical is to have it repaired. I have use the company below for an out of warranty iPhone repair and they did a great job. A quick search shows they can repair the volume for about $80.

  • IPhone screen blank and won't turn on/off

    I went to the camera app from the lock screen and the app seemed to freeze, so I pressed the home button. The screen went blank and now won't turn on. Oddly, when I plugged it into iTunes on the computer, I was able to sync, and I can get Siri by holding the home button. Also the phone will ring if called, but I cannot answer it. Please help.
    iPhone 5S. Just installed latest iOS update yesterday. Never had any problems before.

    Try restarting or resetting your phone. You won't lose any data.
