Iphone 5 Lock Screen button doesn't work.

Hi, i have an iPhone 5, and the lock button doesn't work immediatley on press. I have to press it about 5 times for this to work... I'm pretty sure my apple warranty has ran out, is there another way of fixing it?

Use virtual power button. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn iPhone OFF. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

Without a working lock screen button, you'll probably have to wait for the battery to go dead. Once it doesn't wake up by pressing the home button you can plug it into a charger and it will eventually reboot.

Lock Screen Button doesn't work.

Help please, the top button used for locking the iPod is either stuck in (because it doesnt click) or it doesn't work. I have also updated it to the latest iOS (4.3.5) and that still doesn't help. Any ideas?

Soundsl like a hardware problem. If under warranty I would make an appontment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You can also look here since it may apply to the Power button.
FIX for iPod Touch Home Button: Apple Support Communities

I updated my iphone 4 but now it just flashes the apple logo? i also can't reset as the lock screen button doesn't work...

im assuming im going to just need to go to the apple store and get it fixed?

Was the iPhone factory unlocked?
If so then do a search of these forums for the fixes for Sim card errors; there are a few people with ideas on how to fix it.
If it was unlocked after you bought it, then you will not be able to update the software.
And it will have been Jail broken, which cannot be discussed on this forum.

My lock screen button is not working and i turned off my iphone with assistive touch. Now i cant turn my phone back on!

I used assistive touch to turn off my iphone, because my lock screen button is not working, so now i cant turn it back on! What i did was, i went to assistive touch, then i held down the lock screen button to turn it off. Now i can't turn it back on.

To turn it back on when you use assistive touch, all you have to do is plug your iphone into a charger and it will power back on

IPhone 4 - power button doesn't work anymore! HELP

I have a problem with my iPhone 4.. the power button doesn't work anymore... if I press it, it doesn't response (i can't hear the click, when i push it).. how much does it cost for repair it? my warranty is expired...

So it doesn't do anything at all? The sound clicks are one thing, but if the screen locks, then it works.
It will be $149 if I am correct from other posters.

Replacing the phone in no way affects your Verizon contract.

Iphone 5 home button doesn't work

I've had my iPhone 5 for over a year now and the home button was working on and off. Now the home button does not work at all. Can I get a new iphone if the home button doesn't work??

You should have contacted AppleCare or made an appointment at an Apple Store when the Home button was working on and off while the iPhone remained under warranty and at least had it checked by Apple before the warranty expired.
If no longer under warranty, doubtful it will be exchanged under warranty now but maybe Apple will make an exception in your case. Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

Iphone sleep/wake button doesn't work

i bought an iphone 5 from Amman Jordan from Zain and the sleep button doesn't work. so if i send my iphone to California will you change it and give me another one?

absolutely not. Warranty on the iPhone is only valid in the country where the iPhone was originally sold.

Lock/power button doesn't work and phone tries to turn itself off

So this morning i woke up and for some reason my power/lock button on my iphone 4s doesn't work, but that's not the biggest problem because there are work around's. the real weird thing is that now my phone just decides its going to shut down. It will randomly bring up the screen to swipe to shut down even when im not even holding my phone. Unfortunately my phone is out of warranty so I am getting ready to do a restore but other than that i have no idea what else i might be able to do.
any help is welcomed.

Here is Apple's article on jailbreaking. It is against the terms of this Apple forum to help with jailbroken devices. Jailbreaking frequently causes problems.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

(SOLVED) Lock screen suddenly doesn't work as expected

It doesn't matter which lock screen (PIN, swipe, etc.) I choose, after the first unlock (after a reboot or change of lock screen), the phone no longer locks. Using the power button to lock doesn't work and I have the phone set to lock right away on sleep. It was working fine a few hours ago and there wasn't anything new I did to the phone.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello, I feel pretty dumb. I must've hit the "Disable lock screen" option in the BatteryBot Pro app by accident...I forgot it even had that option.
If anyone's curious how I solved this, I inspected system messages using OS Monitor while reproducing the problem (ie, flipping through lock screen options and turning off/on the screen) and kept seeing the app's name coming up as well as a few others. I'm not sure why it started disabling the lock screen today though; I'm pretty sure I didn't touch the app in the last couple days.
Anyway, sorry for any inconvenience.

My lock screen button won't work how can I fix this?

My lock button won't work, every time I click it it won't lock my screen unless I press the button hard enough and or in a weird gesture, how can I fix this where I don't need to struggle locking it?

Stating the obvious,
Can you Reset it?
Have you checked if the Hold switched is not in locked position? (should not see the red mark)

If it were me, I would return it for a replacement. Also, you can only upgrade the iOS, not downgrade.
