My button sleep wake is broken

my button of sleep / wake is broken what can i do

hi  melissa83
I have the same problem as does my son who has the same model
It is the same problem as with the i-phone 5 seems as if spring for the
button has slipped and will no longer operate the nano.  we should
have the same opportunity as the i-phone users to get it fixed at no
cost as it seems to be a fault with the manufacture and a pretty
common one at that if these forums are anything to go by.............  Back to
the drawing board apple!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Power button sleep/wake

    So I used to tap the power button and it would put my Encore mini to sleep.  Lately though, whenever i hit the button I get the drop down that says SLIDE DOWN TO POWER OFF.  Even going into the power options and setting the power button to do nothing still brings up the power off screen.  I've power cycled the tablet but the issue remains. 
    I run Folding@Home as this thing really doesn't do much else but nothing has changed on the client since i installed it more than 3 months ago (no new client has been released).  The only other app that gets any real use is Xbox Smartglass.

    You might want to try using Windows+X  to open the menu in the lower-left, selecting "Power Options," choosing "Change plan settings" next to your currently selected plan, and then resetting the plan to defaults. I don't know that that'll fix it, but it might be worth trying.
    If that doesn't fix it, could you check the full part number of your Encore?

  • Broken sleep/wake button.

    My sleep/wake button has been broken for a while and my phone decides to turn off itself. I have plugged it up to the wall charger and the computer. But nothing has happened. I even held the home button down for a while. Is there anything I can do? Or should I just go to get my phone serviced? I have had so much trouble with iphones... Please help.

    Dear Sterling,
    What Apple doesn't mention on the site is that if you have the tiniest, and I mean TINIEST scuff on the edge of the phone, they don't repair it for you.
    Wouldn't be too much to ask to make this disclaimer on the site. Would have saved me at least 2 hours.
    Best,

  • Sleep/Wake Button is either jammed or broken

    the sleep/wake button somehow jammed or is broken, my ipod now only works when its in the Ihome and when its not in the ihome i cant change music or practically anything for that matter. what do i do

    You'll need to send the iPod in for service either to Apple or a third party service center.

  • I have to restore my iphone 4s becasue it is saying "disabled connect to itunes" and it's never been synced with itunes. However the sleep/wake button is broken on the phone is there still away to restore without using it?

    I have to restore my iphone 4s becasue it is saying "disabled connect to itunes" and it's never been synced with itunes. However the sleep/wake button is broken on the phone is there still away to restore without using it?

    You can try, but the problem with that is you need battery power in order to restore. Once your phone has enough power to restore, it will still show the same message. To get the phone into either recovery mode or DFU mode requires the ability to first turn the phone off. But, you've got nothing to lose, so you might as well give it a shot.

  • Crisis!!! sleep/wake button broken, blank screen, unable to restart... HELP!!

    my sleep/wake button is not functioning and i just had a black screen. My friends are able to call me and they tell me it rings but i just get a blank screen. i really dont know how to restart and beg someone to  help me. Thank you... (iPhone 5)

    If there is a broken button there is nothing you can do. Take the phone to an Apple store and they will replace it, as all 5's are still in warranty. Make a genius bar reservation first at https://www.apple.com/retail.

  • Seemingly broken sleep/wake button...

    I haven't had any problems whatsoever with my iPhone 4S in the two years I've had it, but today I'm having a terrible time with my sleep/wake button. It's not completely broken to the point of not working at all, but to use it, I must press down on the button with max force and it still doesn't work quickly like it should. My iPod touch 2nd generation has a similar issue, but it comes and goes, which is sort of weird. Any suggestions on fixing this and anyone else experience the same issue?

    Either get a 3rd party to fix your phone, or bring it, and $199 to Apple for out of warranty replacement.

  • HT1212 Restoring Ipod touch with broken/unusable sleep/wake button

    got a broken sleep/wake button and my kidz put a wrong passcodes on it many times, now it is locked, is there any way I can restore this back even if I don't have it backed up with my computer? I'm just using screen home button that is why I can't restore it using the ordinary way.

    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and restore via iTunes:

  • Password disabled phone + broken sleep/wake button + never synced to itunes

    A very frustrating problem:
    1. My iphone 5 was disabled by a friend (She typed in too many wrong passwords).
    2. The sleep/wake button (NOT HOME BUTTON) is broken so I cannot get into recovery mode manually.
    3. My iphone was never synced to itunes.
    I've seen a couple of solutions but so far none were viable for a iphone that had all three of these conditions.
    Any possible ways to get out of this?
    Any kind of suggestions/support would be appreciated!

    Unfortunately,  sometimes kids like technology too much to keep their hand off.  Hence the password set up.  It isn't always about forgetting passwords.  I attempted to follow the directions on the apple site.  It didn't work.  I went to the AT&T store and she could help except printing off the same page i tried.  I called Customer support &  they wanted to charge me.  I called back and got someone more responsive.  He said I was doing everything correct.  He suggested to reconnect the computer w/Ethernet connection rather than wireless.  Disconnect the computer and restart.  That seemed to work.  I lost all photos etc from vacation but I can use it.

  • My sleep/wake button is broken/jammed and I forgot my password help

    I need to restore but in order to do that I need to put my phone in recovery mode. However, my sleep/wake button does not work. It's jammed I think because I can't press down on it. The button isn't a big deal to me but since I forgot my lock code I don't know what else to do. I no longer have access to the computer I orginally synced it to. I've searched but everything either says to restore or do something that requires the screen to be unlocked. It's and ipod touch 4th gen

    Use this program to place the iPod in recovery mode.

  • HT1430 Sleep/wake button is broken. Can I redirect the sleep/ wake command to another button?

    My wife also has an iPad 1. Her sleep/wake button is broke. I downloaded sb settings so she could shutdown to charge. She has to plug in to wake. Can I redirect the sleep/wake command to another button?

    Are you charging it from the wall outlet? Or from a computer? It shouldn't need to be powered off to charge from a wall outlet.
    However, it appears that you have jailbroken the device. This can cause problems with the functioning of the device. There's really not much we can do to help you with a jailbroken device other than to suggest you restore it to its original factory state.
    Best of luck.
