Lock Button Not Function

hi there, I'm Wilfred, currently my ipad is having a problem which the lock button is not function. Thus it's caused me unable to screen lock my ipad in a proper manners. May I know is there any solution to overcome this issue? Thanks.

The side switch is the key.  Depending on your settings, it may affect the mute or it may affect the rotation lock.  Whichever function it supports, the other function is performed by a "soft switch."  This support article from Apple provides detail.

In case you're wondering, here is the history.  Originally, the mechanical switch affected only the rotation lock and the mute was a software switch elsewhere.  In IOS-3, it was changed to be the mute switch and the rotation lock became a software switch.  This was done to ensure consistency among IOS devices.  Unfortunately, a large quantity of users complained loudly, alleging that they turned the rotation lock on and off several times every hour and the convenience of the mechanical switch is essential.  In IOS-4, Apple bowed to the whiners and made the switch function selectable and now we're stuck with a mess.

    my iPhone 5 does not have water damage or have had any damage but when I press the lock button it doesn't lock my screen, I can't do anything with it but it's not dented inside the phone, you can hear/feel the button click still when you press it but it just doesn't do what it's supposed to do.

  • Lock button not working for iPhone4

    Hi All,
    My lock button not working from last 2months, I am using assistive touch for time being.
    I bought my mobile in UK 1year back, currently i am staying in India.
    My real problem is, recently i visited apple store. The guys in the store are saying, it is against to their law to serve or repair mobiles which were bought in other country..
    I think this is rediculous.. Just i need some information how to fix it or how to contact the correct person regarding this POOR service.
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    No. The warranty is only valid in the country of purchase. All service for iPhones in UAE is provided by the supported carriers. You can find a list here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
    If you did not purchase it from one of the carriers listed, then you probably purchased an illegally imported gray market phone.
    Check Settings>General>About. What does it say for Model #?

  • My loudspeaker and lock button not working and my warranty has expired!!! I do not know what to do!!!! HELP PLEASE!

    My loudspeaker and lock button not working and my warranty has expired!!! I do not know what to do!!!! HELP PLEASE!!

    Those are hardware issues. You can try all of the software troubleshooting if you want. Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If that does not work, then your only option is to pay someone for something. The decision is up to you, but I've provided the options.

  • Caps lock button not sensitive enough

    I just bought a new macbook air , and I found that the caps lock button not as sensitive as other buttons, what should I do now ?
    I have to press a bit longer and harder to make it detected.
    thanks!

    I'm not sure if you've resolved this issue but I solved the problem by removing the charger plug, then the battery.  While the battery is out, push the power button.  Reinstall the battery and reconnect power.  When the notebook rebooted, the caps lock light and num lock lights were once again working.

  • Power/lock button not working, function moved to volume up

    I just had my phone revived after water damage (so I'm half part on taking it to SCS because i read that the warranty will be voided if the LDI has changed its colors). Now everything is working except for the backlight flickering when auto light adjust is on especially when the backlight is low. And the other one which is serious.   The power button is not functioning at all. And I discovered that when pressing the volume up, the volume would increase but after a very very short delay, the turn off/airplane mode selections would appear which would only appear when the power button would be long pressed right? And when the screen has gone to sleep, the volume up would also unsleep the screen.
    The worst part. I can't let my phone dead battery, cause it automatically turns on and the hard reset button on the sim slot has no effect on it. But the power+volume up combo trick works, but the thing is, you only need to click the volume up for this to happen. Is there any quick or permanent fix for this before I go to the SCS, I'm afraid they will void the warranty of my phone and pay for a fix price cause I don't have the money.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    To me, it sounds more related to a hardware issue. Thereby, it's nothing that you can do on your own. I suggest that you visit nearest service center to have your phone examined by a technician. You can contact your local support team for further information about nearest service center and/or how to proceed with this in the best possible way:

  • Loudspeaker and Lock Button not working? Will Apple replace my phone with a new one?

    My loudspeaker hasn't been working for a few weeks now, and recently the lock button has stopped working too.
    I've never dropped my phone in water etc. for the loudspeaker to stop working, and the lock button suddenly just did not work anymore - jammed in?
    I booked an appointment with the Apple Genuis Bar, will they likely repair my phone or give me a refurbished one?
    Cheers.

    If I bring it to apple store does anyone know what version iOS the replacement phone would be?

  • Approve Button not functioning in Approval Page NotifDetailsPG.xml

    In NotifDetailsPG, we have the page for approving Batch Approval Requests...
    There are four buttons, Approve, Reject, Reassign and Request Information.
    When we click on the Approve, or reject button, nothing happens, but on the Reassign and Request Information, we are directed to the proper page. Now I need to approve the Journal but i think the Approve and Reject button is not functioning. and we noticed in IE's status bar, that the page was "done with Errors"
    clicking on the done with errors area, we have the error message:

    What might be the reasons for this errors?
    null

    you have to search in Metalink using Advanced Search.. key-in "approve button" and select LinuxX86 as the platform..
    If i remembered there is also a result regarding 11.5.10...
    Mine is 11.5.9 related and it just instructed me to upgrade the Workflow mini-pack.. OWF.H.. I think 11.5.10.2 already includes OWF.H so your case might be a different one..

  • Google Maps buttons not functioning

    Google Maps does not function anymore in Safari. None of the buttons work, including the search button (I can type in an address, but nothing happens when I press the mag. glass icon, or return), or any of the smaller icons in the corner including zoom in/out, help, tools etc.
    Works just fine using Firefox, and I did update Flash to the latest version.
    Any help appreciated--thanks in advance.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
