IPod lock button wont work. any alternatives

So long story short. dropped it in water waited for two months, works fine now but the top button to lock it wont work.. any ideas?

Could be that there is corrosion of the contacts that is preventing making contact. This place does not specifically list that repair.

    Try to connect in recovery mode and set it up again "as new ipod" : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If this does not work, your sleep button might be damaged and you'll have to get it serviced.

    Try restoring the iPod to rule out a software problem. First restore from backup and then to factory defaults/new iPod.
    Then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I bought it from littlewoods, is that a problem? I got it less than a year ago. Is there still a warranty on it even though its from there?
    Nokia phones bought in the UK and the Rest of Europe comes with a 24 month warranty. So I believe that your phone is still within the warranty period. You can send it back to Littlewoods, but I do advise sending it to a Nokia Care Point for a speedier process.

  • Main button wont work - any ideas!

    Hey,
    Does anyone know what might be wrong - all buttons work except the main one in the middle which means I cant do anything!!!!
    Thanks

    Have tried doing a master reset to check if it's software related (may fix it , may not)
    You will need to back your device up to your PC though before you try this but definatly worth a go.

  • My iphone is stuck on the settings screen but the home button and lock and power buttons wont work. I can navigate through my settings but can't get out of them or turn off my phone.

    My iphone is stuck on the settings screen and the home and lock buttons wont work. I can navigate through the settings but canot go home or turn orr or reset my phone. Please help):

    I had the same situation with my iPod touch 5th gen. You can manually reboot it thru pressing sleep/wake button and holding it up to 10 secs - no data will be lost.. This didn't work in mine, but to some it did..
    If it won't work, you could do what I did which is I reset all settings in the Reset part. It won't lose any data, just the settings (if you have just less settings did to the device, which I had). So just configure or tweak things again in the settings when it reset again.
    Hope this somehow helps!

    Hello KellyB12,
    The color of your iPod should still be the same. As I said previously, your Geek Squad Black Tie Protection will continue as long as the problem with the lock button is due to defect. If it has been damaged, your service plan may be fulfilled. Geek Squad will be able to address these questions for you too when you visit.
