IPhone 5 turn off button not working properly, is it a hardware defect?

My iPhone 5 (1year and 4 months) has trouble with its turn off button, I've heard of other friends with same issue, is it a hardware defect?

Things just break. The IPhone buttons are basically a thin plastic sticker with a thin flexible metal lining. The simple sticker slips (slides) out of place just a hair (far less than mm) and the alignment of the metal lining cannot make connection, so button does not function correctly. Things just break.

Flash MX - Sound on/off button not working properly.

I used the tutorial found here. The 3 frames of my button are in a movie clip, within a keyframe in the main timeline. I used the code at the end in the tutorial for the first keyframe, so that the clip begins with music playing. However; I cannot get the buttons to work. I cannot stop the sound. Help please? I desperately need it.

Why is my iPhone 5 on/off button not working

When I got it first was ok but now when I press it to lock screen or turn my phone of it don't work unless I press it on a hard surface for a long time. I sometime have to leave it for minute for the auto-lock to lock it. Please help.
Thanks.

Given that you seem to have been able to upgrade to iOS 7, it would appear to be a hardware issue. After all, a mechanical component like a switch is usually the weak spot in most devices. If possible, try to do a hard-restart and see if it helps: hold down Home and Sleep until the screen goes black and the white Apple logo pops up.
Else there will be a visit to the Apple Store in your near future. Hopefully a warranty coverage will make said visit less painful.

Where can i exchange my not working iphone bought in Switzerland (on july 12, 2012.) that just turned off and not working since. In croatian store they don't want to give me replacement phone!!!!

I have bought iphone 4s on July 12, 2012.in Zurich in offical Apple store (Glattzentrum) and after one and a half months it just turned off and not working since. I tried three charges and nothing (it detects that charger is on but it cannot be charged). So now I have a not working phone only two and something months after purchase. But the problem is that in Croatia we have two apple reseller stores and neither don't want to exchange it, although is under warranty!!!! The closest stores are 250 km from Zagreb...Of course I have contacted Apple store in Zurich but they told me to come in Switzerland or to send credit card data for receiving new iphone, the problem is I don't have credit card with 700 euro on it!!!! what to do?? who to call ??? where to get replacment device cause this is disaster???? I wanted to buy ipad but after all this I doubt to do so...I have not working Iphone payed around 700 chf or 800 usd and cannot change it in my country, is it possible for such vast organization like apple that this things can occur????? So much for customer support

“the EU is considered one country for warranty purposes“
Not the case at all whilst there are harmonized minimum standards governing guarantees, warrantees remain national as these vary (Add to) minimum legal protection.
Some how you need to get your phone back to Switzerland.

HT5587 Power button to turn off phone not working.... Help!

Power bottom to turn iPhone off does not work. Screen will turn off after a bit of no activity, but power off function when pressing does not work. Any ideas for repair? Thank you.

Assuming your warranty has expired you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $149. Or use Google and find a local 3rd party repair site.

Button not working properly.

Hi I bought my new HP Envy k112tx its capslock button is not working properly when pressed softly. It has to be pressed hard so that it could work, Its minor.What should i do?.

if it's not bugging you then you can safely just leave it, there is a small risk of causing damage to the keyboard though. If you contact HP they may be able to replace the keyboard for you unless it's less than 30 days old then you should be able to return it for a replacement unit, you'll still need to contact HP first though cause that's where the retailer will refer you to straight away

My iPhone 4 turns off randomly not completely turn off

Pls help my iPhone 4 turns off randomly

Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if better. If not and there is warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If no Coverage, clean again with toothbrush and some Isopropyll Alcohol. See if better. If not you may need charging port assembly and/or battery replacement.
