Light coming from screen under lock button (iPhone 5)

I can see a sliver of light coming thru in a crevice between the screen and the metal band, right below the sleep/wake button. Anyone else see that?

Keep me posted on the issue as it progresses compurhythm78. I've read on other websites I've found via Google search that people with this problem have taken it to the Genius Bar at the Apple store and they have replaced their phone with a new one as this is a common hardware problem with the iPhone 5. I wanted to make this post on here as this is more of a credible site to see if this problem would be covered under the warranty or if anyone knew how to fix it (if that's even possible). It's not like it's a huge problem with the phone, but I use the lock button quite often and it's just really annoying having to hit the button multiple times to get it function.

Is the red light coming from the top on my iphone normal ?

Red light on top of iphone !

That would be the proximity or brightness sensor and is normal to see in extremely dark environments.

I purchased my iphone 4s from US, my lock button is not working, I need to get it repaired in India. Please suggest

There is nothing you can do except take it back to the US. The warranty is not international and no authorized service center will touch your US phone in India.

Red light coming from my audio output, speakers not working

I read somewhere about wiggling a toothpick around in there, but that didn't work, any other ideas.
This happened after I had a 1/4 to 1/8 converter plugged in there to use a little mini amp.
I've lost the use of speakers.
headphones work fine
I think the optical input is still reading as if something is plugged in. Not sure if there's something in my system I need to switch, or if I need to take it in, have the jack opened up and replaced

Just to rule out the obvious make sure your mute switch (F3) is not on. If your 'switch is stuck' you would see a red light coming from the headphone port.
Double check your Sys Prefs - Sound settings ...if things still are not working you might try a SMC reset followed by a Pram reset that would restore your orig. settings.

HT2494 the sound won't work on my Macbook pro the headphone port actually has a red light coming from it

Can not get sound on my Computer. The headphone port actually has a red light coming from it. Help

Insert a headphone jack and remove it and see if the light goes out. The red light indicates the switch didn't switch from head phone to your Mac's speakers. Some folks have actually used a match stick to undo the switch.

My macbook pro is stuck on mute and there is no light coming from the headphone jack. any ideas?

Red light coming from the headphone port

does anybody know why there is a red light coming from the headphone port.
This is after i reformatted
Thanks
Moderator note; subject edited for relevancy

This is perfectly normal. You can run an optical digital out this way. You need a mini-toslink adapter like this:

Then you can set the digital out as default (instead of Speakers) to run audio to a surround sound reciever via optical fiber.

Inconsistent Lock Button - iPhone 5

The lock button on my iPhone 5 works intermittently. One time you press it and it works fine - locking the phone, turning off the screen, etc., then the next time I'll press it two, three, four times before I have any luck getting it to function. Has anyone else had this problem or know what to do when this occurs?
Thanks for the help!

IPod got washed... Weird sound from area of lock button.

Ok, so a few days ago, I accidentally washed my IPod 4th gen in the washing machine. *facepalm...* I only got it out after a 45 minute wash. Blindly hoping it still worked, I attempted to turn it on. (Hold power button, press home...) Screen stayed black. Then I went to look on the forums. A lot of people suggested to put it in a rice bag for a week. Problem is, I don't have a week. I'm leaving for a 2-week vacation in 2 days... =/ Soooo, I took the screen/ glass off. I found some droplets water in there, which I wiped up using a Kleenex. Then, I put it in a rice bowl for the night. Next morning, I put the bowl into the hot California sun for 3-4 hours. Finally, I decided to test it. *Gulp!* I plugged it in to a wall charger, and after ~30 seconds, I noticed a sound like bacon frying(mmmmmm =D) quietly coming from the location of the power/lock button. When I felt the area, however, It didn't seem like there was heat emitting from it. then, I unplugged it and wrote this post. What should I do now?

HT1688 White screen, no lock button?

I opened Instagram on my iPhone 4G this morning and nothing loaded, it's stuck on a blank white screen. I can see the black bar at the top that tells me I'm connected to the internet and the battery, but the rest of the screen is plain white. I have the assistive touch on because the lock button is jammed, and I can still go into its little menu, but when I press the home button (either on the menu or on my actual phone) nothing happens. I've been trying to turn it off but, again, the lock/power button is jammed, and it hasn't been working. I read that you can hold down "lock screen" in the assistive touch menu, but when I do that nothing happens either. I plugged it into the wall and into iTunes on my computer, still nothing.
When I leave it idle, it's doesn't turn off. The screen gets dark, but it's still on, I guess it's just the back-light that turns off? My only idea is to wait for the battery to die and then charge it and hope it goes back to normal.

Try to hold the on-screen "Lock Screen" icon and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work, then your idea of letting the battery drain is a good one.

Broken lock button iphone 5

My lock button is completely dead, tried restoring ect.If I go to the apple store will the replace my iPhone or will they just fix it? It's still under warenty.

Apple handles this problem with Replacement iPhone 5. Make Genius reservation so you do not have a long wait. Until you get this resolved, try Virtual Lock Button, Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn iPhone OFF. To turn iPhone ON connect to power, charger or USB port of computer.

Faulty On/Off/Lock button iPhone 5

My iPhone 5 on/off/lock button has started playing up. I sent it away to O2 for repairs but they claim it is due to physical damage (which I am pretty sure it is not) and are trying to charge me for this. I have since googled this fault and it appears to be pretty common and should be covered by the warranty. Anyone else had issues with this and have any advice?

Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store.
IF there is any physical damage to the phone, cracked screen, etc. then the warranty is void. It doesn't matter what caused the lock button to fail, if the phone is damaged, it's not covered.
