IPod touch home button jammed?!

Hello, this morning I came to my ipod touch, only to find that the home button was jammed!! By jammed, i mean it is stuck a little too far into the home button socket, and takes an enormous amount of pressure for the iPod to register that it has been pushed. I am currently out of warranty, so should I try to find a "do-it-yourself-guide?" or should I take it in to Apple Store or Best Buy? Thanks so much and ill be looking foward to what you have to say!

  • IPod 4G Home Button Jammed?

    My iPod Home Button recently got SUPER jammed into my iPod. It started out as not that bad, I could still push it, but I just had to use a little effort, but it's gotten so terrible that now I can't even push it. It's not like it's non-responsive because it works if I push it hard enough, but it's absolutely awful to try and push it in and I'm worried that it will keep getting more and more jammed and eventually not work. Is there any sort of way to fix this? I know my warranty on the iPod is up, even though I only got it in January. I don't have a ton of money to go get it fixed... If there's not a way to repair it, is there at least some sort of app or software I can download that will allow me to exit apps without using the home button? Thanks in advance...

  • Ipod touch home button stuck and the power will not turn on

    Can someone help me?  My daughter's ipod touch 4th generation has a stuck home button.  We have changed the settings so that the alternate home button is on the screen; however, while she was using it earlier, the ipod shut off and will not turn back on.  We have tried to plug it in, hold the power button, etc.  Since the home button doesn't work, we can't hold the power and home buttons simultaneously as recommended.  Any other ideas?

  • Ipod Touch home button is not responding! iOS 4.3.3....

    I got my Ipod touch 4g used with an iOS of 4.3.3  on December 25th, 2011. It was February 7th, 2013 when the home button stopped working. Everytime I try to press the home button...it won't budge!
    I have already restored it, got my data back on and deleted the other person's stuff, but I still can't update my iOSo the newest version so I will have the assistive hime button. Also, Ive already tried alchol but that won't work either. I don't have the money to go to apple or afford a new one. What should i do to fix this quickly without screwing my Ipod Touch up? I would really appreciate your help!
    Thanks.

  • IPod Touch Home Button Issue

    Yes, I have an iPod Touch which I just upgraded to the latest 2.2.1 software a few weeks ago. Now my "Home Button" will not take me back to the main screen anymore. I have to completely turn it off and restart it to switch screens and applications.
    Do you know how I can fix this? It is becoming a pain to work with.
    Thank you in advance.

    I am not sure if this helps, but one of my mom's friends said to place a drop of alcohol (rubbing) just on the button and it will work, or at least it did for hers. So I tried that and it works (for a little while), which has got me to wondering, if it is stuck?

  • IPod Touch Home Button unresponsive

    This only started to get bad Monday. It started to be finicky about Sunday. The button isn't stuck; "clicks" like it should when pressed but the device is entirely unresponsive unless it's pressed and held to get ANY response whatsoever. Very frustrating. When pressed, it goes down fully without much pressure like it should and comes back "up" when released.
    I don't know what to do or what even caused this. It *almost* seems like a software issue, since I recently updated to 6-point-whatever iOS for the Touch 4 and that was pretty recently.
    I'll try using canned air on the button itself this weekend if there happens to be any sort of dirt underneath it.
