Lock Screen Button doesn't work.

Help please, the top button used for locking the iPod is either stuck in (because it doesnt click) or it doesn't work. I have also updated it to the latest iOS (4.3.5) and that still doesn't help. Any ideas?

Soundsl like a hardware problem.  If under warranty I would make an appontment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  You can also look here since it may apply to the Power button.

    Without a working lock screen button, you'll probably have to wait for the battery to go dead.  Once it doesn't wake up by pressing the home button you can plug it into a charger and it will eventually reboot.

  • Iphone 5 Lock Screen button doesn't work.

    Hi, i have an iPhone 5, and the lock button doesn't work immediatley on press. I have to press it about 5 times for this to work... I'm pretty sure my apple warranty has ran out, is there another way of fixing it?

    Use virtual power button. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn iPhone OFF. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

  • I updated my iphone 4 but now it just flashes the apple logo? i also can't reset as the lock screen button doesn't work...

    im assuming im going to just need to go to the apple store and get it fixed?

    Was the iPhone factory unlocked?
    If so then do a search of these forums for the fixes for Sim card errors; there are a few people with ideas on how to fix it.
    If it was unlocked after you bought it, then you will not be able to update the software.
    And it will have been Jail broken, which cannot be discussed on this forum.

  • My lock screen button is not working and i turned off my iphone with assistive touch. Now i cant turn my phone back on!

    I used assistive touch to turn off my iphone, because my lock screen button is not working, so now i cant turn it back on! What i did was, i went to assistive touch, then i held down the lock screen button to turn it off. Now i can't turn it back on.

    To turn it back on when you use assistive touch, all you have to do is plug your iphone into a charger and it will power back on

  • Lock/power button doesn't work and phone tries to turn itself off

    So this morning i woke up and for some reason my power/lock button on my iphone 4s doesn't work, but that's not the biggest problem because there are work around's. the real weird thing is that now my phone just decides its going to shut down. It will randomly bring up the screen to swipe to shut down even when im not even holding my phone. Unfortunately my phone is out of warranty so I am getting ready to do a restore but other than that i have no idea what else i might be able to do.
    any help is welcomed.

    Here is Apple's article on jailbreaking. It is against the terms of this Apple forum to help with jailbroken devices.  Jailbreaking frequently causes problems.
    Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

  • (SOLVED) Lock screen suddenly doesn't work as expected

    It doesn't matter which lock screen (PIN, swipe, etc.) I choose, after the first unlock (after a reboot or change of lock screen), the phone no longer locks. Using the power button to lock doesn't work and I have the phone set to lock right away on sleep. It was working fine a few hours ago and there wasn't anything new I did to the phone.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!

    Hello, I feel pretty dumb. I must've hit the "Disable lock screen" option in the BatteryBot Pro app by accident...I forgot it even had that option.
    If anyone's curious how I solved this, I inspected system messages using OS Monitor while reproducing the problem (ie, flipping through lock screen options and turning off/on the screen) and kept seeing the app's name coming up as well as a few others. I'm not sure why it started disabling the lock screen today though; I'm pretty sure I didn't touch the app in the last couple days.
    Anyway, sorry for any inconvenience.

  • My lock screen button won't work how can I fix this?

    My lock button won't work, every time I click it it won't lock my screen unless I press the button hard enough and or in a weird gesture, how can I fix this where I don't need to struggle locking it?

    Stating the obvious,
    Can you Reset it?
    Have you checked if the Hold switched is not in locked position? (should not see the red mark)

  • My iPhone 5 has been freezing up and my lock (top) button doesn't work 50% of the time..Am i able to get a replacement free of charge?

    I pre-orded the iPhone 5 and got it a week after they came out and every since I have been having problems with the lock button. It seems to only work the first time I push it 50% of the time. On top of that, my phone keeps freezing and I don't know what to do. Am I still eligible under warranty to get a replacement??

    If it is defective and your within your warranty period then they should replace it. But , have you went trhough all the trouble shooting steps such as,
    1)restart your phone
    2)reset your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up
    3)restore your phone in itunes from your backup, then if still not fixed, restore as new

  • Lock screen button has stopped working on my IPhone 5 after weeks of use

    Hello, I received my IPhone 5 as a Christmas present, and 2 weeks ago my lock button stopped working. I don't have insurance on my phone, but is there a possibility I can get a replacement or get it fixed through apple either freely or inexpensively?

    Since you have had your iPhone under a year if you take it to a apple store and go to the genius bar they should replace your current iPhone with a brand new one for free.

  • How can I restart my iPhone 4 if the lock/power button doesn't work? I know I can turn it off using the assistive touch button but how would I get it back on?

    Help me!

    Has to be a working phone to trade it in at an Apple Store (recycle) towards a new one. You can do an out-of-warranty replacement for $149 USD and you will get a service replacement iPhone 4 with a 90 day warranty. Make a Genius Bar appointment before you go.

  • Help my ipod's home button and lock screen button don't work and i think it is frozen idk what to do it tries to turn off but never turns off

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iphone screen wont work, and my off lock screen button does not work, what can i do?

    Hey guys,
    can you please help! I have never been in this situation and i need help desperately

    Verizon does not fix/repair/replace devices.
    Apple provides all hardware support in the US.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
    FYI, they do not fix devices, so backup your device prior to going to the store.

  • IPhone 5 lock screen button issue

    My lock screen button is not working properly, I had a one year warranty on the phone through apple which expired 9 days ago.  My phone is insured through Verizon is this something that would be covered?

        Lets get it to work, Sam_123! What is going on with the lock screen? Is it frozen? Have you tried to reset the device? Is there any damage? Share details so that I can help.
    Thank you,

  • My screen if frozen and I can't shut off my phone. I already have my assistiave touch button on my screen but it still own't let me shut off my phone. And my lock button doesn't work either

    My screen is frozen on the camera and my phone won't let me shut it off. My lock button doesn't work and my assistance touch button won't let me shut it down either. My phone also takes hours to die and my battery if fully charged so i can't wait for it to die i need to get it back to normal asap! How do I get it to unfreeze?

    A reset is when you press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose any data. Give it a try.
