My home button does not work. why?

What is wrong with THE iPad Home button.  Only a couple of months old. Moderate use at most and the Home button does not work at all.  Is this easily sorted out or should the iPad be replaced?

Bring it to a Store. Hardware problems are best sorted out there. Until then use multi-touch-gestures. HOpe this helps.

    It could be that your button has justy gone out.  You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there.  If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.

  • Ipad app icons shaking but won't delete, home button does not work, power off switch does not work

    I just got a new ipad air and have started to add apps to it.  I have added a couple of free apps which I have also deleted (moved to icloud).  I have also a couple of apps (free & purchased) which I have on it now.
    Now my problem:
    I tried to remove another free app.  I press and hold the icon.  All app icons shake and display the 'x' for removing, but the 'x' for does not work on any of the icons.  Also, after this, the home button does not work as the icons keep shaking even while I am pressing the button.  And the power off switch on the side of the device does not work either.  If I close the smart cover and reopen it shows the home display and all the icons still shaking (instead of showing the passcode sign-in display).  Fortunately (well, fortune in the misfortune) if I press the home button and off switch a couple times each and close the smart cover and wait, the device awakes normally.  Well, normally until I try to remove any app.
    So what do I need to do to fix this?
    Thanx
    Brian

    Glad it worked. Anytime your iPad acts up, the reboot/reset is a common first thing to try. And it clears up many issues and glitches.
    enjoy your new toy

    Remi,
    How long did you hold these buttons for? Did you try more than once?  Have you tried letting it charge for a bit and trying again?

  • My "home" button does not work... what can I do to fix it? Or can i bring it into a Verizon/Apple store to have it fixed?

    My "home" button does not work... what can I do to fix it? Or can i bring it into a Verizon/Apple store to have it fixed?

    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.
