Lock/Power button issue.

When I press my lock button the phone will lock itself then will ocasionally bring up the power down option as if I had held it down. Also it has started locking itself randomly when I'm using it (except on phone calls). Is this something wrong with the button itself or are there other issues with the phone. Everything else works fine with the phone and I have no other issues with it at all.

Hey mate
Seems to be a issue in the actual phone ....
If you still have warranty you can get a free replacement !!!!! At apple store , authorised service provider and apple care ... If not the replacement price will be a cost of $179.95 + plus 3 months hardware warranty
I'll leave 2 articles below one for Genius Bar 2 apple care phone numbers :)

IPhone 5 unresponsive lock/power button

Hey, I purchased my 16gb iPhone 5 on launch day, however within the last month or two I have had nothing but trouble with the lock/power button. In order to use the button i have to press the lock button roughly ten times in one are before it will actually lock my iPhone. I cannot lock my phone a majority of the time, take screen shots, once my phone crashed and switched itself off i couldnt get the phone back on for a good wee while, resetting the phone without itunes has been a huge issue too.
I have factory reset the phone through itunes and continued to search for numerous solutions, nothing seems to work. I stay pretty far out from an Apple store and have tried contacting apple via phone though they just told me to reset ect and when i told them that wasnt working the guy highiligted there was nothing more the company could do for me. I love apple and the quality most of their products have, I do however feel rather let down by my iPhone five as i have had other issues with it too.
Can anybody reccomend anything else to try if they have had the same issue?? or if you have gone to an apple store have they been able to replace it?? its a pretty pricey journey to make for no solution to be offered.

I have this problem by myself and a collegue also.
Okay Apple will change the phone. Here in Germany we can change the product 3 times and as i see and hear it the power button problem is a big one, and because even on low usage time the problem appears. What if i changed the iPhone 5 already 3 times and the 3rd one has the same problems? i want a working iPhone 5.
@rebecca_tait Did you change the iPhone already? If yes, does the new iPhone 5 have a better Power Button?

HT1430 iPhone 4S Power Button Issue

I have an iPhone4S that has fallen to the broken power button issue - is there a way to restart it without the power button? My phone is acting strange and I know if I restart it then it will be ok. I am already using the Accessibility feature to lock the screen, but cannot figure out how to restart it short of letting the battery run out.

I have the same issue.... just hold down the lock screen button on your accessibility menu until it shows you the power down option. Then plug the charger in & it will automatically turn back on.

Where can i repair my iphone 5 lock/power button?

I have a problem with my iphone 5 lock/power button, it works randomly, but the main issue is that my carrier won't agree to repair/replace it under warranty since it has some minor scratches in the sides.
Here (at mexico) we do not have apple stores so I can't take it there, also apple refuses to take it under warranty because the iphone was purchased directly with the carrier. Any suggestions on how can i solve this issue?
I think it kinda lame to have the year long warranty just to realize you cant make it valid here at mexico under some dumb technicallity.

Until you sort out the "dumb technicallity". Use Assistive Touch for perfect Virtual Lock Button. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock. This can even be used to turn iPhone OFF. To turn ON connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

It can only be serviced in the country where it was originally sold. Take it back to the US or send it to someone you know there to take it in for service.

IPhone 5 Power button issues after recent update.

After this most recent update, my power button is not working as it normally does. It takes two or three attempts to turn the phone off and more than once to turn it. Sometimes it turns on and immediately turns off. This is happening only after this update.

Yes 7.1.2 I had a 7.1 backup, and no issues with that... but then I did a clean DL of 7.1.2 and once again with NO apps on the iphone power button issues... as mentioned. So it is not the apps, nor songs, nor anything else...just 7.1.2 I am now running 7.1 no issues.

My IPhone 4 won't turn on, but my lock/power button is also jammed. What should I do?

With USB Cable connect iPhone to power source, charger or USB port of computer. The iPhone should begin to start immediately.

IPod Touch Power Button Issue?

I have an 8GB 1st Generation iPod Touch (The one without the camera, power button on the left side instead of the right, yada yada yada). I've had it since Christmas, and it's run perfectly well, until yesterday. I began to notice that the power button (the small button at the top) was sticky. Not stuck, but simply sticky. Instead of having to tap it and add a slight pressure to get it to turn on, turn off, lock, ect, I now have to push down so hard that it leaves imprints on my fingers, not to mention that it doesn't always respond, as if it's jammed, and if I'm not very persistent it will lock, but not turn off. I have to try three or four times to turn it off using the power button, though occasionally the screen will flicker like I'm hitting the button multiple times. It's not like the button is stuck - I can still use it, but it's sticky. I was wondering if there is any solution that doesn't require sending my iPod in?
If you need any further explanation feel free to let me know, I'll be willing to tell you. Sending my iPod in isn't a problem really, though if there's a simple fix that I'm not aware of (seeing as this is my first iPod) I'd be much more willing to keep it here.

Hi,
I have an 32G 2nd generation iPod touch with a problematic on/off button, and I'm not sure this is a physical problem at all.
My touch worked perfectly well until the version 3.0 update, and then I started having problems with the on/off "wake/sleep" button.
I often have to take 3 or 4 attempts to turn the screen off, and then when it does turn off it comes back on again with the "red bar" to switch it off. This is only supposed to happen when you purposely hold down the on/off button, but it does it when it feels like it now!
Like I said, it worked perfectly well on the version 2.0 software, but you couldn't possibly get into DFU mode to return it to version 2 because holding onto the button no longer seems to get the "red" bar to come up, so I've no idea where I am with it! It drives me nuts, but I'm almost positive it's an issue with the software.
Yes, I've tried a restore on several occasions, and turning it off and on so many times I can't count, but the problem never goes away!
I've asked Apple several times to deal with the issue, but they've had at least 6 attempts now, and nothing has been done about it. My Touch will now be stuck on 4.1 forever as I can't get iTunes 10, because I have an old mac that's on 10.4.11.
I'll have to live with it as it is, as I can't afford to upgrade, and I don't want to anyway because it works perfectly well, EXCEPT for this one annoying issue.

Blackberry passport power button issue

hi, I bought a passport phone three weeks ago and this one problem with the power button is there from the begining. there is a delay cca 4 s, not everytime but very often and it is very annoying. Please can you help with this, is a software or hardware issue. Thanks for your quick answer...

I hadn't noticed, so I just looked. I count 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi (about 2 seconds give or take) between the moment I press and hold the power button and the moment the screen changes to cancel lock restart option screen. There is a second or less delay to lock the screen and keyboard when I press and release the power buttons, and about the same when I press the button to unlock the screen and keyboard.
See what others say. I bought my Passport when it was first released. I can imagine BlackBerry increased these delays in software based on user feed back, but I don't know.
I would also look at any correlations. I would be particularly curious about what happens with a clean OS install, and then what happens when you install apps one at a time and test in between. Also, if you have any very long text conversations, those have been know to cause sluggish performance, so it would be interesting to know if deleting such conversations makes a difference.

IPhone 5 power button issue .Apple store can't help !

I have an issue with my power button on my iPhone 5.It works perfectly sometimes and sometimes it doesn't .I have to press it 2,3 times to get it work .I took it to the Apple store and it worked perfectly there so they said they can't replace it unless they see the problem and they are right . But I don't know what to do it does it sometimes ,how am I going to go there in the right time .Do you have any other suggestions ? Thank you.

You can try calling an Apple support number for your location: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and see if they can help. Otherwise, when it starts acting up take it to an Apple store genius bar.
But try the support line first and see what help they offer.

Lenovo T410 does not power on due to keyboard / power button issue.

I have a Lenovo T410 which has been exhibiting keyboard issues (several keys have failed and I've been using an external keyboard).
It seems that the keyboard failure is affecting the powering up of the machine. Occasionally it will turn on, most of the time it will not.
I've submitted an eService request for this and the status is "Solution Provided" but the "SO Status (as shown on ICSS)" is "On Hold" "Order on hold, pending update" (per: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT074324 ). This has been the case since the 28th of last month.
I've confirmed it is a keyboard failure by swapping a keyboard from a T420 (which, ironically, had a service request fulfilled fine around the same time).
I have two questions:
i) most urgently, is there *any* way I can power the machine on without using the keyboard?
ii) what do I do about the service request's "On Hold" status? this machine is out of action and key to our work.

i) There are three ways to power on the laptop without the power button.
a) Use a dock.
b) Check under BIOS menu (if possible) under power, to see whether you have something called 'Power On with AC Attach' feature. If you do enable it, and save then exit. What this do, is that it will power on the laptop when you connect the power plug into the laptop.

c) remove the CMOS battery, and power on the laptop by attaching the power adapter to the laptop.

Lock/power button jammed

this is my third iphone 4 since november 2011, all hardware problems, i didnt drop or anything, first was the power button was jammed, got a new one, then there was so sound, so i got this one for about 3 months and now the power button is jammed again, this is beginning to become a pain, why are these refurbished iphones so ******? should i bring it in to apple, will they replace it for free? and how do i know this wont happen again and again

It depends on whether or not it's determined to be physical damage caused by a drop etc. If the phone is under warranty and it's determined not to be from misuse or physical damage, they should swap it out for you. If it's physical damage and the store is tough about their terms, it may cost you $199. Hopefully they'll be able to swap it from the LED flash issue, since that seems to be a hardware defect.

Iphone5 right side power button issue?

Is anyone facing the issue on iphone5 power button? where it doesnt funcation when pressed on the right side of the button but it works when pressed left side of the button.

Is there any fix for it?

Fatal power button issue

Hey there, I have had no problems with my Z2 until today. However, now my screen is constantly flickering on and off as if the power button is being repeatedly pressed, furthermore the window with the options to power off/ restart etc also appear occasionally. I'm unable to power the device off as when I do it will boot itself up again straight away. As you can imagine, this renders the device utterly useless. Has anyone had a similar experience with this? Or does anyone have any fix suggestions? The phone is out of warranty, I'm unable to replace it.
I made a short video of the problem just in case my explanation isn't clear enough.

Thanks for any help you can offer me, I'm lost for what to do.

I had the same issue once with my old Xperia Z, after washing it with soap (which is apparently not right) so water and soap got beneath the power botton and caused the same symptoms. It was also out of warranty and I sent it to 3rd party mobile fixing office. They did some cleaning and didn't cost me a lot that time.
