IPhone 5 power button sticking?
Anyone else having the issue where your power button on iPhone 5 sometimes just doesn't work, and at other times it seems to work perfectly? I want the thing to go completely bad so they'll be forced to replace it, but every time I've tried to go to the genius bar, it starts working.
Immensely frustrated.
Hi jonikerr,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the troubleshooting tips in the article linked below which can help you resolve the issue with the Sleep/Wake button on your iPhone 5.
Get help with buttons and switches on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If the Sleep/Wake button doesn't work
On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the Sleep/Wake button is on the right side of the device, near the top. On earlier models, the Sleep/Wake button is on the top of the device, toward the right side.
If the Sleep/Wake button isn't working and your iOS device is on, follow these steps:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button.
If you see "slide to power off," turn off your device and then turn it on again.
If you can't turn off your device, try to reset it.
If the Sleep/Wake button still doesn't respond, follow these steps and test again:
Check for debris or dirt around the Sleep/Wake button and clean it with a soft cloth.
Remove any case or film.
If you can't turn on your iOS device, connect it to an A/C adapter. When your device is charged, try the steps above again. If the battery is extremely low on power, your device might display a black screen for up to 10 minutes (up to 20 minutes for iPad) before you see a charging indicator on the screen.
If you have an iPhone 5 and the Sleep/Wake button still isn't working, or works intermittently, you might be eligible for this replacement program.
If you've followed the steps above and the Sleep/Wake button still doesn't respond, if it works intermittently, or if it's damaged, contact Apple Support to set up service.
So long,
-Jason

My iphone 5 power button doesn't always work. I have heard this is an issue and Apple will replace it if under warranty, but I have a broken screen. Will they still replace it?
It is unlikely but you can atleast try they might set it up for free but expect an email about paying 269 for physical damage

hey my iphone 5 power button dosnt work and has minor dents on the corner of my phone does my 1 year warranty cover it
The only one that can answer that for you is the Genus at the Apple Store
My guess is with dents, they are going to tell you the damage voided the warranty

Iphone 4 power button is stuck down and iphone won't turn on
My iPhone 4 power button is stuck down, and it won't come back up. The next best part is, my phone is either off or dead i don't know which, and i plug it into my computer/wall charger and nothing happens.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iphone 4s power button is stuck. Is there any chance that it can be fix?
My iphone 4s power button is stuck. is there any chance that it can be fix?
This will be covered for free under Apple Warranty. Until you do this, a software workaround is a Virtual Lock Button in Assistive Touch on iPhone. Tap Settings App>General>Accessibility>Assitive Touch>ON>Tap new Virtual White Screen Button>tap Device> tap Lock Screen. If you hold down on the Lock Screen Icon it will give you the "slide to power off". To turn iPhone ON, connect to Power Source with USB Cable, via Charger or Computer USB Port.
