IPhone 5 lock button not working at all. If I'm in the one year warranty still but don't have apple care will I have to pay to get it fixed or will it be covered

I have a iPhone 5 and about a month ago my lock button stopped working. It takes me about ten tries to power it back on or to lock it. If I'm still in my one year warranty will I have to pay to get it fixed? I didn't purchase apple care though so I'm wondering if it's going to cost me to get it fixed or if it's still covered because of the one year warranty? Thank you!

If it's due to a manufacturing defect, the warranty will cover it. If it's due to accidental damage, it'll cost to get it fixed unless it happened during an authorized repair.

  • IPhone home and lock buttons not working at all?

    I got my iPhone 4 in October 2010. Since then I have accidentally dropped it on the floor and the back cracked, and in April 2011 I accidentally dropped it in a tub of paint. A bit silly, I know, but I managed to get all of the paint off quite easily and it was fine. However, at the end of last year, the home button started to malfunction and get stuck and just generally not work. In the past few weeks I've noticed I get trouble with it at least once a day and have to sit and press it until it works. Then, today, just out of nowhere, the lock/power button at the top of my phone just stopped working, it's stuck. I don't really have a way to wake my phone now unless I press the home button until it works, and I can't lock it anymore. I don't know whether it would be anything to do with the paint, considering it happened a year ago.  Is there anything I can do to get it working again or do I need to take it to Apple?
    Thank you very much.

    Ok this Might work
    1- Try rubbing your home button with alchohol ( or perfume ) in a circular motion for about 20 seconds
    2 - do the same to ur power button ( from left to right and repeat ) for about the same duration
    3- press and hold both your power and home button at the same time ..
    ... If this doesnt work try it one more time
    If it doesnt respond after the second time i'm afraid u'll have to take it to an apple care center :(
    Wish u luck

  • IPhone Lock Button Not Working

    I've been searching on uTube, etc trying to find a way to get this un-stuck, but it doesn't seem to be working.  I've only had my phone since October 2012, would this be under warranty, or would anyone at Verizon be able to assist me?

    If there is an Apple store near you, take the phone there.  It's been less than a year, so if the phone was purchased new, it's still under warranty.  Next option is to take it to a Verizon store (corporate store) but if they see any evidence of other physical damage or water exposure, you will likely be out of luck.  An Apple store is your best bet.

  • Lock button not working for iPhone4

    Hi All,
    My lock button not working from last 2months, I am using assistive touch for time being.
    I bought my mobile in UK 1year back, currently i am staying in India.
    My real problem is, recently i visited apple store. The guys in the store are saying, it is against to their law to serve or repair mobiles which were bought in other country..
    I think this is rediculous.. Just i need some information how to fix it or how to contact the correct person regarding this POOR service.
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    No. The warranty is only valid in the country of purchase. All service for iPhones in UAE is provided by the supported carriers. You can find a list here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
    If you did not purchase it from one of the carriers listed, then you probably purchased an illegally imported gray market phone.
    Check Settings>General>About. What does it say for Model #?

    My loudspeaker and lock button not working and my warranty has expired!!! I do not know what to do!!!! HELP PLEASE!!

    Those are hardware issues. You can try all of the software troubleshooting if you want. Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If that does not work, then your only option is to pay someone for something. The decision is up to you, but I've provided the options.

    IF it is a manufacturing defect and you bought the device from Apple or an authorized Apple retailer, then take it into Apple.

  • My iphone 4 is not working and I cant reset it from the computer either because it wont connect to it I need help!!!

    My iphone 4 is not working and I cant reset it from the computer either because it wont connect to it I need help!!!
    1. I tried connecting it to itunes for a system reset and it didnt work.
    2. The phone wont even turn on!!!

    If the phone wont turn on it sounds like it needs to be charged.  Plug it into a charger and wait about 15 minutes and try turning it on while still charging. Have you tried holding in your home button with the on/off button held in?  Hold them both together until the apple logo comes up and then release them.  The screen will blink off an on while it is resetting. I still think this is a battery issue. Good luck~

  • My ipad touch sensitivity is not working like it should. It is an ipad mini and I have had it for only 6 months. Would a repair be covered by the one year warranty?

    My ipad mini has not been functioning properly as of late and it is making me worry. What could be causing this problem? Are such changes covered by the one year warranty? 

    If there is a hardware problem that is causing the lack of touch screen sensitivity, it would be covered by the warranty as long as the problem was not caused by accidental damage - like dropping the iPad, getting it wet, letting it get too cold, too hot ...something like that.
    See if this helps. Close all of the apps in the recents tray and then reboot your iPad.
    Tap the home button first. Then double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Are the charge cords covered by the one year warranty on the iphone 5?

    My family bought four new iphone 5 phones in December of 2012 and only one phone charging cord works now.  Does anyone know if apple covers the cords under the one year warranty?

    Yes so long as they have not been broken through abuse or damage.

    is a single crack on the front screen of an iphone 5 for verizon  covered under the one year warranty at no cost

    Not unless the crack is determined to be caused by a manufacturing error.
    Accidental damage is not covered under the standard one year warranty, which is a limited manufacturing warranty, not insurance.
