Is anyone else's Power Button not flush?

I just noticed that my power button is not flush with my speaker grill. It dips down to the center (left-side). Does anyone else have this problem? I compared it to my buddy's computer, and his is perfectly flush. Let me know, thanks.

Just wanted to give an update:
I went to the Apple store after my classes in the morning and talked a Genius. He said that the buttons are attached with a special adhesive and that is why they all aren't perfectly flush. He got the manager to do an exchange for me since I just got a week ago and was still under the return policy. He said something about had it been after two weeks that it would have been repaired (not replaced). He also said that he has only seen a couple others that were like mine (on side not attached) but more that were just not flush. He also said to make sure to not apply lots of force to the button. So it sounded like if your laptop doesn't look like its abused that they might fix it if the button isn't completely attached (but not if it just isn't flush), but it might depend on who you talk to.

Power button not working on iPhone 5

This is a defect on iPhone 5 power button that wears out in about 13-14 months of usage just after you go out of warranty. Apple is aware of this issue but chooses not to accept this as a defect. I asked the Genius bar guy and they told me this is a common case recently and costs $269 to replace your phone. There is no repair option. I am very mad and believe Apple needs to take action or will lose their customers. All iPhone 5 owners that I know started having this problem in the month of 13 -14.
I believe if the numbers go high, Apple may start a recall program. Please encourage anyone with this problem to post here. $700 phone should not wear out this soon. Apparently the part is defective on almost all iPhone 5 devices.

The standard warranty is one-year. Yu can purchase, before the one-year is up and additional year. Yu can check your coverage here:

Power button not working with 7.1 update

Power button not working with 7.1 update

I take it your phone was still under warranty then?!
Unfortunately I was not so lucky, and my experience was rather poor service-wise. They're called Apple Geniuses but I beg to differ...
I'm not sure where in the world you are located, but my "experience" involved visiting the Leeds store and confusing everyone with this issue. I can tell you, just by the looks on their faces, they had never been faced with this problem before!
I suggested my phone was rolled back to the version it was previously to establish whether this was the underlying issue. I was asked whether my phone had been backed up and as it had the "genius" proceeded to restore the phone "as it came out of the factory" to quote him.
When this was completed the phone was still doing the same thing and I was advised "the software update must have highlighted a hardware issue." I was told it would have to be physically repaired and was told to have this done by a third party as Apple would charge approximately £160. Incidentally, I work in IT and repair PC's, laptops and mobile devices for a living and made a point of raising that a sleep/wake button ribbon cable for an iPhone 4S can be bought on eBay for as little as £3.00...if indeed it does need replacing, which I suspect it does not.
Anyway, so now I was left with a phone for the rest of the day which was blank and still the problem remained. On the train, on the way home, you can then imagine my disbelief when I actually took the time to look at my phone's configuration and realised that iOS version 7.1 was still installed, so obviously the issue would still remain. So the visit to the "genius bar" was a complete waste of time as I'm still in the very same position, and I still blame the 7.1 update for this...let's home 7.2 is released very shortly and this solves the issue...
I have downloaded the package to roll the version back to 7.0 but I'm a little reluctant to carry this out yet as I would expect Apple to so the issue they have caused. This is NOT hardware related but software.
I seriously think Android is calling me...

Iphone 5 power button not working!! They have replacement program for months but why they dont email you and say it??

I have had iphone 5 and have never been happy and i think apple is not leading the technology and future of market anymore as they are lowering quality of their products(even hardware). I had to change first iphone 5 i had because of wireless issues and then i had battery problem and had to charge 3 times a day and finally after 2 years i bought they decided that its faulty and they decide to change it. Luckily enough i read it on an online tech magazine and after googling i see that they have had replacement for power button as well which i am eligible for as well!! i go to genius bar and they replace battery but they dont replace power button cause they examine it and passes till the audio dock test! It connects to charder dock or cable but it doest to audio test dock and he says one off the pins inside is not right but it charges perfectly with every cable in the store!! And i tell him that they have to change power button not the charging pin cause it doesnt make sense!! Its a faulty product and maybe if they emailed and said it nearly a year ago my pin was right then!! so i think they found a silly reason not to change it and so i am struggling with that phone and brand that i hate(once i used to love)!

Macbook Pro 13'' Early 2011 Power Button not responding properly after spilled drink.

Hi Everyone
I've spilled beer on my old macbook last december. I've reassembled pretty much the whole mac, cleaned the motherboard with Servisol (isopropyl alcohol) and applied new thermal compound. The mac is working (if turned on from the motherboard, however the power button doesn't work properly. If pressed several times, sometimes it either changes the brightness of the screen or takes you to the widgets.
The keyboard was disassembled and cleaned and everything else apart from left shift and power button appears to be working on the keyboard. The keyboard was disassembled soon after the spillage, which was few months ago.
As it was few months ago when I cleaned the keyboard, I''ve forgot whether the power button is a part of the keyboard or an individual module. Could anyone give me some advice on that? Any other suggestions regards to the power button?
Another problem I've encountered recently is lost administrator account (after an attempt to turn the mac on). I can only access the guest account, my main account doesn't even appear on the launch. I can still see the administrator's files, but can't access them as they're locked. Is there a way to get back the account or access the files from the computer?
Many Thanks. Damian

Hi M,
There are other threads here with similar issues. I do not know if a "common" fix has been found. Try an SMC Reset:

If no luck there, your Mac has a one year hardware warranty and I would contact AppleCare.

Droid4 POWER BUTTON NOT WORKING

The power button on top of my Droid 4 is suddenly not working? The only way to turn it on is to slide out the keyboard. I can't turn it off, it won't power down. The phone is a year and half old. This is so frustrating, does anyone have any idea how to fix this???? I have not been to Verizon store yet but think I may need to, has this happened to anyone else? any suggestions?

Hi Nicholas in follow up to your question on Saturday, in addition to my reply above, I also went to my local Verizon store, and they said they could not fix it because my warranty ended in June (2013), that I would have to take it to a local cellular repair shop and have them fix it. Needless to say I was not very happy with that, I think its stinks that after a phone is only a year old that I have to take and pay for a repair that is clearly a defective part on the phone. The gentlemen said he sees this alot on the I-Phones not so much on the Droids.

Iphone 5 power button NOT Working anymore.

The power button of my Iphone 5 is not working properly. What i mean by that is i have to push the power button REALLY REALLY hard to get it to work. I am worndering can i take it to Apple and have them replace it for me? I had have my Iphone 5 for a little more then a year and my warrenty is out of date. Anyone kno if i can still get a replacement? Bought the iphone5 couple of months after it came out, full price out the door and using it for T-mobile

I have been experiencing the exact same issue...it will work sometimes and other times I have to press it multiple times or extremely hard.
There is a hardware warranty that should still be in effect for you...definitely worth calling about ASAP.
Apparently there is 90 days left on mine, and I bought my iPhone 5 the week it was released.
They said to definitely bring it into the Apple store and as it is a hardware issue they are replacing it....i will let you know the official outcome after my Genius appointment.

Nokia 6220c power button not responding

Hi,
I have a Nokia 6220c that i have used for abuot 6 months, since then i have upgraded to a newer n82. However having a look back at the 6220c before giving it to my brother, i realised that the power button does not respond.
I know there has been a history with this phone and a stiff power button, so i removed the silver outlining and attempting to press the button with my fingernail and still no success.
The phone charges fine and the screen goes on when the charger is plugged and when any button is pressed (except the power button), however it's just the plainwhite screen with the battery in the top right.
Anyways is there any way i can get the phone on or any other methods i should try, has this happened to anyone or is there a way i could change firmware to maybe the red button? If theres no solution I will have to send this back to Nokia which will be a massive hassle.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Not sure but try this before going to Nokia Care.
.After taking a backup of all you images & videos (i'm assuming you've turned the sync on with skydrive for settings & other data) & keeping a list of all your apps, Reset he phone. If this does not work then only solution will be Nokia Care Centre.
Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.

Power button not working on T540p and windows 8.1

Hello, Just bought T540p running on win 8.1. when I press the power button (top right above keyboard) it the laptop does not go to sleep.
I obviously went to windows settings and set it to "sleep mode" or "power down" but nothing does I cannot put the laptop to sleep except by going thru the convoluted windows 8.1 way. I'd much rather press that button. Has anyone seen this?
Thanks!

Cinema Display Power Button Not Functional

The power button on my cinema display does nothing when pressed. The other button on the display (display preferences button) does work as expected. I have confirmed that the 'Disable power button' is not selected in the display settings panel.
The button glows brighter when I press it, but nothing else happens.
I would like to be able to start up and shut down my computer with this button since my bluetooth keyboard cannot do it, and I keep my laptop shut when it is connected to the external display.
I was just given this display, so I do not know if has ever worked.
Any ideas?

Hi Ron,
Possibly a daft question but do have either of the Cinema Display's USB or firewire cables plugged into your G4 as well as the DVI connection? This may sound obvious but I couldn't get the buttons on my 20" ACD to work until I plugged the USB connection into my Macbook.

Power button not working like it should...

When booting up, I have to press power button several times. Finally, when it does come on (Pavilion dv6Notebook), the fan runs quite a bit. I am worried my hard drive is about to go. Any tips?

Try a soft reset and see what happens.
If the power button is not working, here is a link for a program that remaps the power button on your TX so you can hard reset and power off.
There is a program called PowerBtn 2.0. This allows you to turn off the device when the power button does not work. (Thanks to Computerwiz for the info.)
