Ipod home button is stuck

My son's 4th generation ipod home button is unresponsive. It is compressed and won't even click. He can still turn on the ipod but has no way to use the home button. I have read of many solutions from taking it apart to using alcohol to see if it is stuck. I am afraid to do anything before I hear some other solutions. I'm hoping it isn't going to be a costly fix as I could barely afford to buy this one for him. If anyone has some solutions or how much such a fix would cost, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

There's an apple store in the next city over but there's a best buy down the street from me... i'll try going soon Thank you.

  • My Ipod 4g home button is stuck!

    My ipod home button is stuck and i really dont wanna have to take it to the store i just went there in the spring to replace my first one. i cant get it unstuck ive tried blowing in it and pushing it down really hard and then releasing it fastly but to no avail it rarely responds now and its driving me insane. any suggestions?

    Tried the alcohol for a couple of days and it was only temporary fix.
    To get a home button on your screen, go to Settings--> General-->Assistive Touch, under Settings/General /Accesability...
    That will give you a little button on your screen that acts as a home button.

    MY home button is stuck. it seems to be fine physically but it is held.

  • My screen is cracked and my home button is stuck down. Where can I get this fixed?

    On my iPod touch 4th G my screen broke in the bottom right corner and there are spider cracks all the way up to the top of my iPod screen. Also, now my home button is stuck down; a shard of glass probably is preventing the button from popping back up. Where can I get this fixed?

    Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending up the capacity.
