Iphone3g volume buttons & off button stopped working

Help!  My granddaughter did something to my iphone3g.....now my power button & side volume keys have stopped working, so I can't restart my phone or change the volume; whenever I try to reboot by holding down the the off button & the Home Key all I get is a voice control screen...

Hi,
The volume and mute functionality should be provided by the audio driver, so try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55026.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed,restart the notebook once again.
Regards,
DP-K

  • My on/off button and volume buttons stopped working.

    For no apparent reason, the on/off button and volume buttons stopped working. iPod touch 4th gen with 4.3.3 installed.

    You can try a couple of things.
    First a hard reboot: hold the sleep/wake and home button down until the unit shuts off and boots back up to the Apple screen.
    Second restore the device py plugging it into iTunes and under the device summary screen click restore. You want to restore from backup to make sure all your info is synced back to the iPod at the end. Depending on how much stuff is on there this can take a while.
    Thrid, take it to the Apple Store and have a Genius look at it. Depending you how bussy your local Apple store is you probably want to make a reservation first.

  • Volume buttons stopped working

    Since updating to 2.0 the volume buttons stopped working. I'm not sure what happened as my playbook has never been dropped or damaged. I keep it in a case that protects it very well. The buttons do not indicate the volume changing when pressed so I have to use the slider in the music app to turn up or down.
    Anyone else have or heard of this problem? My playbook is only 2 months old.
    Thanks

    I just got my PlayBook back from "repair" and my volume buttons don't work, the camera doesn't work, and when I go to pictures it doesn't work either. I don't know what to do, this hard reboot things doesn't work and my warranty has run out about now. But if they send it back and it's still an overpriced paperweight, shouldn't they take it in again and fix it proper? I used to be proud RIM was a Canadian company, now I'm just ashamed...

  • HT4993 Replaced my iphone 5 with new one because my first one the volume buttons stopped working. Now my contact list is all wrong. It's correct on my I pad but don't know how to correct it on my phone. And my email is loading hundreds of old emails,?

    If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My profile only- Brightness and volume buttons stop working (+)

    I am having intermittent problems with my profile in OS X. It's the latest update, which I can't check (More on that in a minute).
    At random intervals of more than one week, my MBP's brightness and volume buttons stop responding. As soon as I notice that, I try to open system prefs. One bounce on the dock, then nothing. Console: one bounce, then nothing. Terminal: same thing.
    This only applies to Apple software, and only some Apple software. "About this mac" doesn't work. Same applies to Safari, Disk Utility, App Store, Activity Monitor, Quicktime, etc. Chrome, Firefox, Pandora, Adium, et al function normally. For some reason, iPhoto and Garageband do start and run normally.
    I just tried restarting Finder (shift + Apple menu, selected 'Force quit Finder' with Finder in the foreground). Now Finder won't start. Spotlight runs, but you can't use it to open anything that won't open via the dock or Finder.
    My trackpad settings have changed as well- it no longer recognizes 'tap to select'.
    I tried logging into my 'safe' troubleshooting account (untouched settings, nothing installed). Everything works fine under the safe account; the only trouble I could spot was that the cursor wouldn't change from an unmoving pinwheel. I could still click on things, open apps, etc.
    I'm 99% sure that a simple restart will cure everything but I'd like to solve the problem. It's kind of a big deal when my primary machine gorps up for no reason.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Thanks for writing back.
    Here's another thing I found.

    Apparently, part of an old install of Little Snitch persisted when I upgraded machines. The above example repeats itself over and over in my console messages, hundreds of times.

    The drive checks out OK, permissions check was unremarkable. Tons of drive space available.
    Right now, all I can do is wait for the problem to happen again.
    The 'stuck spinning cursor' problem that I ran into in my backup account went away after a reboot, as predicted.

  • Iphone6 volume button stop working

    Goodmorning,
    all of a sudden my volume button up doesn't work anymore,
    it is physically ok, it is not stuck or any damage,
    i have tried to reboot (/reset, by pressing the home and power buttons together) my device and nothing happened,
    now i am using the assistive touch but it can be a stable and final solution;
    the down one, the home, and the sound/vibration control are fine.
    (the device is 3months old, and run IOS 8.1)
    Any suggestion?
    thank you,
    V.

    i have just solved reading by chance an old post for an old model of iphone,
    it was said to press the button and do a round/circular movement and it works!!
    maybe this can help.

  • Volume buttons stop working after wake from sleep

    I have a Pavilion dm4-1162us. The volume buttons do not work after the notebook wakes from sleep. It works initially from a normal startup. A restart will also resolve the issue. The quicklaunch buttons are the default buttons, that is it is set so the "fn" button needs to be used to use the function "f1, f2, f3, etc." keys.

    Welcome to Windows. Some devices do not like to be put to sleep in Windows.
    There could be driver updates or hot fixes from MS to fix these.
    A very proven method (though not for battery life) is to instruct the devices not to go to sleep when the system goes to sleep. You can do this via the device manager in the control panel.
    Its not a gracious solution but it will do what you want it to do.

  • Okay before my ipod power and volume buttons werent working but i never dropped it, then one day i was in a app and my ipod froze so i held the home button down and the screen went a bright green color and isnt showing up in itunes

    okay I just recently bought a ipod touch 4thG and im already having issues. recently the power and volume buttons stopped working after i syncd my ipod, i shrugged it off figuring it would come back i could live without it. but today I was on my ipod while it was charging and the screen just froze so i pressed and held the home button (being that's the only button that actually works) then the screen turned this bright yellowish lime green color and its not responding to ANYTHING! my computer isnt even reading it when i plug it up into itunes! so what should i do? can anyone help me? i feel like i just wasted $200...

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS3694 volume button not working

    I updated to 6.0.1 a couple of weeks ago. Immediately I noticed my phone would not pick up my wifi signal at home. It would start searching for a signal and I would have to continually manually selecting my signal every time I return home. Even after doing this it very very slow on downloading anything. Additionally, about 4 days ago my volume button stopped working. My phone will ring when a call comes through but I cannot hear videos or music and my alarm app cannot be used. I tried backing up, syncing and finally restoring it but nothing seemed to work. Help!:(

    I also want to add that I am able to adjust the volume while on a call. And if I am on a call and log onto YouTube during the call then I can hear the YouTube video. Weird. Same with music too, if I am on a call I am able to go to my ipod and turn on the music and hear it but once the call ends the sound goes off. Not that I'm trying to listen to music and watch videos when I talk on the phone but just noticed this phenomenon....:/

  • Sleep button and volume buttons not working

    Just got an Ipod Touch(4th Generation) for Christmas. It seemed to have been working fine, Untill the sleep button and the volume buttons stopped working. They came back on after and hour or so, And several times in the past few days this has happened. Yesterday though, They cut off again and haven't worked at all since. Anyone know how I could fix this without sending it in to Apple? Any answers are strongly appreciated

    Sounds like a short; however, you can try restoring and updating from within iTunes.

  • Volume and Lock buttons stopped working after new iOS 4.3.3 update (ipod 4th gen)

    After I updated my ipod with the iOS 4.3, the volume and lock buttons stopped working.
    This has happened before and it'sprobably one of the most annoying problems ever.
    The lock button tends to stop working but then works again only when it wants to, but the volume buttons dont work at all.
    When the locked button worked again I turned it off and turned it on again, but it didnt fix the problem.
    I've pretty much tried everything that I've read and nothing seems to work.
    So now, I don't know what to do.
    Should I take it to a random apple store or to where I bought it from?
    It seems that it's happening to almost everyone, so at least I'm not the only one and maybe someone can help me out

    If you have restored in iTunes on a computer and the problem remains then it's a hardware fault and it needs to be repaired. When you update the iOS version on an iOS device it checks the hardware components, this is when it'll detect un-diagnosed hardware faults and the components will stop working... even if they were working previously

  • I dropped my Iphone in water and the on/off button stopped working, how do I fix it?

    I dropped my phone in some water and it was only in there for about two or three seconds. I grabbed it and dried it straight away and made sure to get in all of it, and it was fine, everything worked. But about an hour after the on/off button stopped working, so i have to use the home button to unlock it and have to wait for the screen to turn off after 1 minute of leaving it. I cant turn it off and dont know how to fix it. Will it go away on its own, do I have to send it off to get fixed? This literally happened like two hours ago, and my phone is a bit more than a year old. Can anyone help me?

    Make an app;ointment at the genius bar and take your credit card. You can get an out of warrnty replacement for an iPhone 4 for $149.
    If you had just done it, the advice would have been to shut it off and put it in a bowl or bag of uncooked rice or silica gel for a week.  Unfortunately, since it's been powered on for several hours, since then, it may have been permanently damaged. You can try the rice trick, but be prepared to pay for a replacement at some point down the road.

  • Hello i have a imac 8.1 and my volume down button stopped working..

    Very simple take it to an Apple Store or AASP and have it professionally diagnosed. Anything else would be guessing. Do NOT spend a penny on it until it is professionaly diagnosed otherwise you stand and excellent chance of throwing good money after bad.

    Try to reset the device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the
    Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot
    normally.

  • Volume down button stopped working Acer Liquid E700

    Dear reader, I have an Acer Liquid E700 for about 3 months now. Suddenly the volume down button stopped working. I didn't do anything strange with the phone, but I think the problem started to appear right after I detached/attached the back case (but I don't think anything went wrong there). The volume down button is neither working for the volume, nor the screenshot option. I have the latest system update on the phone and the rest of the phones buttons work fine. Do you know what the problem is and perhaps how to try solve it? Thanks in advance,Vincent

    After pressing the button alot of times, it suddenly started working again -_-. Thanks for the answer anyway!
