Ipod Nano - Power Button Stuck

I had a nano that I dropped and paid to replace at the Genius Bar in September of 2012. Just a couple of weeks ago, the power button became stuck all of a sudden (literally, worked fine using it on the commute to work in the morning, became stuck on the commute home), making it exteremly difficult to press and function.
I just contacted AppleCare in which they said it was out of warranty because it was purchased in October 2005 (I think that was my 1st gen Nano!). I paid to have my nano replaced way under a year ago and they said it's because the warranty doesn't roll over?? Is this true? So if that's the case, if all of a sudden it stopped working a day after I get a replacement, I' would be out of luck too??
Please help! I don't want to put more money into this.

I had this question too and I brought my nano to the genius bar (remember to make reservation before going), they let me pay HK$488 and issued me a brand new 6th, exactly the same model of the one I had! Super satisfied, you should have a try too.
My previously replaced 6th nano the power button stuck, I think because I made use of the fast key of skipping the songs (pressing the home button twice while playing songs), the button I guess suggested to be over-used.
Good luck

Nano power button stuck

My ipod took a dump on me yesterday at work when the power button stoped working on the top. Now ive only had it for about 6 months and my question is will this be covered by the warranty? Also the touchscreen is cracked but works fine will they make me pay for the screen even though i just need the power button fixed?

My Ipod nano power button wont work while headset are in, how do i fix it?

Hello, I got myself a iPod nano 6th gen. and I'm already having problems with it. I got it from ebay and it was working all good, expect one day the power/sleep button just stop working when the headset are plugged in.
so this is how I can somewhat make it work on it but it still stinks to work with it like this. When I have no head set plug in, it works all fine. The power/sleep button is okay, the volume button is okay, and the touch screen is okay, but once I plug the headset set in, if shut off after 1 second, and cant turn it back on, then if i plug my power cable in then I can use the touch screes, but the power/sleep button doesn't work as well the volume buttons. Now if I do a soft reset with the power button and down volume and get the apple logo on, I can quickly get the headset plug in and play the music with out the power cable in, but still cant use the button at all. Also when I have it plug in to the power cable then plug in the headset, it shut off until I replug in the power cable or remove the headset to turn it back on.
How can I fix this? I tried the factory reset through iTunes, and it didn't help. I try the diagnostic and that didn't help. Should I just send it in and pay for the repair cost or what?

The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an Apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.

IPod Touch power button stuck

So I woke up one morning and my iPod's power on/off button was stuck in. I couldn't turn the device on or off, and I had to use the home button.
Eventually, I found out about the Accessive Touch thing but it's annoying having to do all of that when I can just click the button off. Plus I always touch it by accident.
Is there anyway I can replace the button or get it to pop out again?

IPod nano power button issue

I am unable to turn on ipod nano when it is not plugged to iTunes. I suspect it to be a possible battery issue. The device works normal when connected to PC. The moment it is ejected and plugged out, the device itself switches off. What could be the issue?

Yes. It sounds like the iPod's battery is on its last leg. If you want to keep using your iPod you'll want to have the battery replaced either by Apple, a third party company, or you can even buy the replacement part and swap it out yourself.

My 4th gen Ipod nano keeps getting stuck on the apple logo.

My 4th gen Ipod Nano keeps getting stuck on the Apple logo screen, this happens everytime I plug it in to charge. I plug it in, an apple logo comes up, and it stays like that the entire time its plugged in. To get it to unfreeze, i have to press random buttons and unplug and re plug in earbuds. After 20-25min of doing this it unfreezes and I come to find it has gotten little to no charge after being plugged in for hours at a time. Any one else have this problem, and if so what do you do?

This can be a corrupted software/firmware on your iPod touch. If the recovery mode you did was not forced, then try to force it into recovery mode. This is how:
1. Force it to shut down (note: this sort of shut down should not be preformed unless you are in a situation like this because it is a hardware shutdown and will not attempt to unload software, save unsaved files, safely stop system processes, etc.) to do this, hold down the power/sleep button and home button for about 7 or 10 secs. Also I might be incorrect but I heard that you can just hold down the sleep and home button until the screen goes blank and then immediately let go.
2. Have iTunes running. Hold down the home button and plug the USB cable that came with your iPod into it. Keep on holding on the home button until a picture of a USB cable going into the iTunes logo appears. You are now in a forced recovery mode. (In case your not so tech-savvy forced recovery is the same as a normal recovery mode that an iPod might do if it knows an update or restore failed.)
3. iTunes should have shown a pop-up message about it found a iPod in recovery mode. Click OK, click your iPod from the sidebar and click restore. The iPod will show the apple logo for a while and iTunes will say "preparing iPod for restore" and then "waiting for iPod" this was the longest part of updates for me.
4. iPod will reboot when restore is completed. When I update my iPod it one time showed the apple logo for one whole sync until it showed the slide to unlock screen, so do not worry. P.S if that does not work do a DFU mode restore ( I've been told DFU mode stands for device firmware update mode) I'm running out of room, so google it. Hope this helped ;)

IPod Nano 3rd Gen stuck in diag mode

I have an iPod Nano 3rd Gen stuck in diag mode. I have reset it multiple time using the select button and the menu button with it pluged in to the wall, into the computer and not plugged in at all. I reset it using the reset option under power and nothing. Please, can someone help?
Thanks

OK. My first time seeing this thread so hopefully you'll share your success results with me.
Here is the issue:
1) iPod Nano 5th gen stuck in Diags Ver: N33GreatDane2A45bp
2) When I rest by choosing Reset from the Diags Power sub-Menu it boots and brings up the white Apple logo and back to Diags menu
3) If I reset by holding down Menu button and Center button, same thing happens: Apple logo followed by Diags menu (It flashes iPod Display Console)
4) So I am always stuck in this loop.
5) Can't restore from iTunes since the iPod is never recognized in iTunes.
Thoughts anyone?

IPhone Power Button Stuck

I currently have an iPhone 4 which I have had for around 7 months and the power button is stuck. I would just like to know what apple will do if I take it to an apple store?

Same thing happened to my iphone after it fell out of the poorly designed Griffin Elan leather holster case. Power button stuck on, phone cycling until dead. I read about the disassembly to fix, but figured that was out of my comfort zone.
I fixed it though, sort of.
I took an old Bic disposable razor and using a pair of wire cutters, I trimmed away the blade protector , leaving the plastic base and blade protruding. I broke off the handle and had a makeshift thin razorknife-like tool.
I inserted the corner of the thin razor blade between the metal case and the plastic button and pried the button up. Took two tries and the button was no longer stuck in the down position. The phone works now!
Of course, if I try to push the button back down it will probably stick, but I didn't usually power it off very often anyway.
I might try to grind the case with a dremel tool or something like that to keep if from sticking, but haven't tried that yet.
Hope this helps someone else.

IPhone 4S power button stuck in down position

I just got 3 iPhone 4S's for Christmas for my kids through Sprint. I am having a problem with one of the Power buttons stuck in the down position. Sprint won't swap out the phone because they say I "ordered" them more than 14 days ago, even though I activated them on Dec. 25th. So, now I have to drive 2 hrs to an Apple Store. WHY????? Why can't sprint swap out this phone? Why do I have to drive two hours to get to an Apple store so they can swap it out??

Apple will cross ship you a replacement. They will require placing a hold on your credit card, but you will not be charged so long as you return the old one.
As for the drive, I guess it's all a matter of perspective. I make the drive from West of Cleveland, OH to near Pitsburgh every few months to take the wife to the outlet malls where there's no sales tax on clothing. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that my wife usually manages to buy enough that I save enough in sales taxes to cover the cost of gas back and forth...
