IPhone 4 Won't Turn on =[ broken sleep button too

Hey guys!
well heres my question/problem. Yesterday I noticed my battery was running low and it gave me the 20% battery warning but i wasnt around a charger so i just put it back into my pocket. after a few minutes i noticed that my phone wouldnt turn on so i assumed that the battery just died, so i went home and charged it over night but still no signs of life the next morning.. I cant do a hard reset because my sleep/wake button is broken =\
ive tried:
wall charging
connecting it to a macbook
ive even tried pushing down super hard on the sleep button but all i end up with is nothing on the screen and a really red thumb.
so..any suggestions guys? I also kind of found it funny that my iphone decided to die the day before you could preorder the iphone 5 lol its like apple commands older iphones to die so we buy the new ones spot on.. but my contract isnt up until december so you can understand my dilema =[
any help would be great guys! happy iphone 5 preorder day btw [=

The same thing happened to my phone and the sleep button is broken. What did you to do to fix it?

  • Iphone 4s won't turn on. broken lock button. It just randomly turned off and won't turn back on. Can't go to apple store because going on vacation. Please help

    iPhone 4ws won't turn on. I have a broken lock button. It just randmoly turned off and won't turn on. I can't go to the apple store because I'm going on vacation. Someone please help

    Your phone is broken; there's no magic solution for you.  You can try plugging it in to wall power and see if this turns the phone on, but if it doesn't, you can either go on vacation without your iPhone, or make the time to visit the Apple store before you leave.

  • Ipod touch won't turn on + broken home button.

    I bought my 5th generation Ipod touch in September 2013, so it's just over a year old.
    The other night I was scrolling through instagram, pressed the sleep button, then 5-10 minutes later I needed to search something but my Ipod screen stayed black. This has happened before to me, once when I had an Iphone so I let it die then charged it and it was okay. Second time was with this Ipod just over a week ago, I let it sit overnight and brought it to a device repair store and they said I just needed a new charger.
    And now this. I let it sit overnight, plugged it in and it's stopped working. I tried plugging it into my computer and nothing showed up. Now since my home button is broken, I use assistive touch so I'm very limited with what I can do. Some people have said plug it in and put it into recovery mode, but that requires a home button and being able to connect to your itunes.
    This ipod is probably a waste of time but I have too much stuff on there to just let it die forever. Is there ANYTHING I can possibly do? Is there anyway that Future Shop or another repair store can help me? Please help!

    Try:
    Turn on without Home/Power Button

  • My iPhone won't charge and the sleep button does not work, Please Help!

    I woke up this morning and my iphone was dead. I have been using the assisted touch setting because one day for no particular reason my sleep button stopped working, so I can't even try a hard reset now.  The phone never had a bad drop and the only way it could be water damaged is from being in a steamy bathroom. If anyone has a suggestion as to how to get my phone to work again, Please leave a suggestion!!
    Thank you

    It could be that your button has justy gone out.  You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there.  If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.

  • Ipod touch won't turn on, home+sleep button wont work

    I was watching a video on my itouch but then it started making these weird sounds. Whenever the speaker was used the sounds came. I turned the ipodoff and on and in the start screen it froze. Then i restarted it and now it wont turn on. Itune wont even recognize it.

    Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Iphone 4 just turned itself off, won't turn on again - sleep/wake button hasn't worked for a while - tried charging (even though it was 50% charged when it shut down) and that makes no difference....tried usb to computer and directo to wall socket. help?

    Well, the sleep/wake button is also the power button. If you cannot use it to turn on, then you cannot use it to perform a reset by holding it and the home button together until you see the Apple logo.Those are the only two ways to turn the device on. You can try letting the battery go completely dead and then trying to plug it in. After it has charged for 20-30 minutes, the device may come back on. But, without the sleep/wake button, there is no other way to turn the device on or off.

  • My IPhone 4S wifi won't turn on. Wifi button is gray. I have tried restart and very briefly the wifi will work.  Any ideas??

    My IPhone 4S wifi won't turn on. Wifi button is gray. I have tried restart and very briefly the wifi will work. Any ideas??

    My 4s also grayed out the wifi setting a couple of weeks ago.  I called technical support and the guy _insisted_that there is no known problem with phones with respect to IOS 6.  He told me to reset the phone and restore and that would probably solve all my problems.  Really, there is nothing wrong with the phone, he told me.  I had tried just about everything else I had found on-line.  The complete erase and restore did not work.
    Then I went to the Genius Bar and they tried a few things (more resets) and they concluded wifi is not functioning but since it is out of warranty, they want $199 to replace it.   $199 is not the cost of a new phone so obviously there is some concession here but not a complete acceptance of responsiblity. The Genius Bar told me that - in fact - that there is a known firmware problem with the phones and IOS6 that crops up randomly.  Not with a lot of phones, just the unlucky few.  If it is out of warranty, you have to pay.  Fortunately, I had an extended warranty with my credit card so I can get reimbursed.
    My next purchase is going to be an android tablet. I'm going to wean myself away from the Apple orchard.  I want to expand my options for my next phone purchase.

    My nano and iPhone4 were face to face for a few seconds and now my iPhone won't turn on.  It doesn't do anything.  I had just charged it.  How do I get my iPhone going again?  What happened?

  • My Iphone won't turn on!

    I just left it on the bed but I have a sort of heating blanket underneath the bedsheet and that was turned on. I left it lying there for a while then I wanted to download music on Itunes so I plugged my Iphone in my laptop but it won't show on Itunes, then I took it off and pressed the open button at the top but there was nothing coming up and I did this lots of times and pressing all sorts of buttons aswell but there's not many buttons as it is a touchscreen. Please Help!

    Plug your iPhone in to mains power for at least 15 minutes and then try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Turn on! My mac won't turn on after sleeping!

    Ever had a problem where your computer won't turn on after sleeping for a few minutes? (I've discovered that too many downloads cause this) Anyway... have you ever tried pushing the power button for one second? Try it! It's been working for me! Hope this helped!
    (If it still won't turn on, try typing in letters randomly for one minute. Just type anything like: asdjhas)

  • I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

    I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

    If it won't turn on then the monitor is dead (power supply?, video circuits?).  Not worth repairing.
    If you have a new iMac then it has thunderbolt.  So exactly what is that monitor you are trying to connect?  For TB you can connect a mini-displayport monitor.   Probably (not 100% sure with TB) can use dvi or vga too if you have the appropriate adapter.
