IPhone 5 power button barely sticks up

The power button on my new iPhone 5 barely sticks up, it is much lower than that on my iPhone 4.  And it is much lower than volume buttons.  When I run my finger across the power button I can barely feel it.  Is this normal?

I have this same problem, if you can even call it that.  To me it just doesnt feel right.  On my iphone 4 it was a bit higher and had a better feel to it when you pressed it down, like a solid feel and click, knowing that you pressed it.  My current iphone 5 it seems as though its barely sticks up from the top base of the phone.  I dont know if they made it like that or what, but it is annoying and i will continue to monitor the power button.
I just hope it doesnt get stuck.

  • IPhone Power Button Issues

    I bought my IPhone from Verizon at the end of May 2011.  Yesterday the power button on top started sticking and has become difficult to press down.  First, should I bring it into a Verizon store or an Apple store?  Second, is this something that will be covered within the one year warranty.  I have a case on my phone and did not drop it before the button started sticking.

    Apple Store. As long as there is no evidence of physical damage from a drop or other traumatic event, the phone will be replaced under warranty.

  • IPhone Power Button Stuck

    I currently have an iPhone 4 which I have had for around 7 months and the power button is stuck. I would just like to know what apple will do if I take it to an apple store?

    Same thing happened to my iphone after it fell out of the poorly designed Griffin Elan leather holster case. Power button stuck on, phone cycling until dead. I read about the disassembly to fix, but figured that was out of my comfort zone.
    I fixed it though, sort of.
    I took an old Bic disposable razor and using a pair of wire cutters, I trimmed away the blade protector , leaving the plastic base and blade protruding. I broke off the handle and had a makeshift thin razorknife-like tool.
    I inserted the corner of the thin razor blade between the metal case and the plastic button and pried the button up. Took two tries and the button was no longer stuck in the down position. The phone works now!
    Of course, if I try to push the button back down it will probably stick, but I didn't usually power it off very often anyway.
    I might try to grind the case with a dremel tool or something like that to keep if from sticking, but haven't tried that yet.
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • 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.)

  • Iphone power button doesn't work and LED is on

    Have a black 64gb iphone 4s, (ios 6.1.3), no case - for about 1yr4mo.  last week i fell asleep on the phone and when i woke up, the power button wasn't working.  I left the phone plugged in for the rest of the night, and when i got up it was working again.  Last night I once again fell asleep on my iphone, and woke up to find both the power button not working AND the LED light is stuck on... its kind of like at maybe 5% brightness.  I put the phone in a bag of rice for the rest of the night, but this morning now, the light is still on and LED still on.  Phone never officially got wet, but I suspect there was enough moisture to potentially cause problems.
    phone is out of warranty and i'm trying to figure out how long i wait until i start poking around at it to see if i can do anything with it...
    anyone have any ideas?

    Hi, bruno7.
    1. Have you tried "Mac OS: Apple Pro Keyboard Shortcuts for Shut Down and Restart"?
    2. What changes did you make to your Mac before this problem arose?
    3. Are you using FruitMenu? If so, check for updates, disable it, or uninstall it.
    4. After you next shut down, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
    5. An errant Startup or Login Item maybe the cause. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
    6. If none of the above, when you attempt to select Shut Down or Restart from the Apple menu and nothing happens, immediately check the ends of these Console logs for clues.
    Good luck!

  • IPhone Power Button

    Hello, yesterday i dropped my iPhone in the rain and it stayed for a good 20 mins. i made a appointment with genius bar, we went over the iPhone water sensor being changed and how i cannot get a new one. They said the best thing to do would be to put it in rice and give it time. at that point the problems were: backlight, touchpad wouldn't work, would not power up, sim reader wouldn't detect card, camera wasn't detected, "This accessory was not made for iPhone" nothing was plugged in. After it dried i plugged it in and it would work. Just about everything was fixed. now my problems are:
    ~The power button: Biggest problem, it will not work... half of it is stuck down and none of it will work.
    ~Home button: I'd say this is fixed, but the first time i plugged it in today every time i pushed it it would take a screenshot instead of returning home, i restarted it and it was fine.
    ~+I cannot boot it without it being on the charger, even though it indicates full power..... When off the only way i can do anything would be to push the home button (as the power one doesn't work) that takes me to the apple boot logo for a good 5 secs, then it restarts... this goes on in a ever lasting loop, theres no stopping it.+
    Any suggestions?
    right now a good way to turn it off would be nice....

    Hello starsell,
    Allan has described your options pretty well.
    It seems possible that the drop into the water may have damaged the sleep/power button as well. There may be third party companies that can repair the button itself, however, you may want to read my post regarding liquid damage in this thread before you consider having the iPhone repaired by another party:

    Purchasing a new iPhone may be your best option in the long run,

  • Turn off iphone power button broken and touchscreen selectively unresponsive

    I have an iPhone 4S w/ iOS 7, my power button has broken so I have enabled the Accessibility features in order to lock and unlock my phone.
    That has been working fine. Now, my touch screen is selectively responsive. It IS NOT broken or damaged in anyway. I can access the pull down and pull up menus, I can ask Siri to search for something and I can scroll through the responses she returns. I can visit one of those web pages she returns and scroll inside of those as well.
    However, any scrolling that is related to a Home screen function I can not perform. For example, I can't "flick" away apps to close them, I can't hold down the "Lock Screen" button which then presents the "Slide to turn off" slider, the touchscreen won't slide the slider... When I do access either the pull down or pull up menus, I can see them but I cannot select anything on them, the touchscreen is unresponsive. When my phone is locked I can't swipe to unlock it.
    We do not have home POTS service, so this is my only means of calling for help if I needed to, and now I can't. This is a very unfortunate failure.

    Hi there quixee,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • IPhone lock button barely works...

    Hello,
    I've been using my iPhone 4S for like 6 months now.
    But since yesterday, my lock button barely works.
    Can I repair this without opening it or is it better to go to the local Apple Store?

    Take it to the Apple Store. If the device is under warranty Apple will replace the device do to hardware failure. I've had Sleep/Wake buttons fail in the past and Apple claims it's not a repairable part.
    Hope that helps

  • Iphone Power Button Flex Cable Replacment.

    Ok, so my sister has an iphone 4 and she droped it in water and she put it in rice, so after a day she took it out and it worked but the power button did not ( It would click and all) So, i took the phone apart and removed the power button flex cable and i just want to double check that if i replaced that the power button flex cable that it would fix it? NOTE: All water sensors in the phone are still white so no water acessed the motherbord. Thanks, Colin!

    It is very problematic to find such parts. With a little bit luck you can find such cable on eBay. Check it out.
    P300 models in general have similar parts so you can also use such cable offered for Satellite P300 too.

  • Repair/replace iPhone power button by mail

    Hi
    I have an AT&T iphone 3g with a non working power button. Can I call apple and have them send me a box to send it in, or do I have to take it to an apple store? It would be easier to have it replaced by mail, like apple does with ipods.
    Thanks!

    You're welcome.
    Yes - copied from my first post in this thread.

  • Iphone power button and top microphone broken

    hi there I am new to using Iphones and i have a iphone 4 and the power button has got stuck and wont let me lock the phone so i have to use the assistive touch control and also when i am recording videos there is no sound at all and i have tried cleaning the microphones and nothing is working can anyone suggest the parts that need fixing?

    The iPhone is NOT user serviceable so there are no parts to suggest.  In addition, Apple doesn't sell parts, so any part you get would be counterfeit or salvaged.
    Apple will replace your iPhone for $149.
