My iPad lock button does not work anymore

Well I was in math and class finished so I decided to lock my iPad. I kept pressing the button but my device just wouldn't lock. Is there a problem with the inside of my iPad or can I just do some sort of trick to get it working again.
P.S. please answer quickly as I am in school with no charger and I don't want to lose my battery.

The function of the former "orientation lock" has been changed to a "silent" switch which silences system sounds like notifications, alerts, key presses, etc.
The "rotation lock" function has been moved to the "Recent Apps Tray" which is accessed by double-clicking the home button and swiping to the right.

    i updated my iphone 5 to 6.1.2 and my lock button will not work anymore and idea what i can do to fix this or what i can do to get it fixed

    I'm having similar issues with my phone.  I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year.  Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas.  When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore.  I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting.  That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore.   I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
    My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router.  When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there.  Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
    Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

    How can you restart or turn off your iPhone if the lock button does not work?

    The best way is to let the battery die. Or you can reset the phone settings which restarts everything.

  • Stuck on apple logo, lock button does not work

    Hi, I was wondering if someone can help me.
    I have an iPhone 5, and I intend to restore it in order to sell, but every time I try to turn it on, the battery life is low and in the red, and then it is stuck on the Apple logo for ages. My lock button does not work either so I can't actually turn it on properly, or do anything. I leave it plugged in the charger for hours, and it's still stuck on the Apple logo. And when I unplug and let it sit until it dies again, the process repeats...
    What is happening? What can I do?

    You can have it repaired or look up a guide and repair it yourself. The lock button needs to be replaced. It is essential at least for performing resets, like the one your phone needs right now. There may be an issue with the battery as well. I would not purchase an iPhone that did not have all its buttons working properly. The iPhone may not be draining enough to completely reset. Draining the battery this much might damage the battery as well. You probably need to do a reset by holding down the home button and a properly working lock button.

  • Power/lock button does not work. I cannot lock my phone, shut it off or reset it. iPhone5s

    My power/lock button does not work. I am unable to lock, power-off or reset my phone and am unsure of how to rectify this problem when that button isn't working.

    Same here. 64gb iPhone 5s just arrived today. Feels fine but either doesn't respond or *severely* delayed response. Like minutes later... Going for replacement.

  • TouchPad lock key does not work anymore on Dell XPS L401X

    Hi everyone,
    On my Dell XPS L401X laptop, there is a key to lock/unlock the touchpad. It used to work fine on Windows and on new fresh install ArchLinux, but now it does not work anymore. If I remember correctly, I did not change, configure any shortcut so far.
    Any hint to fix this problem?
    Many thanks!

    Try mapping the button as shown here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/To … are_Toggle
    I'm sorry i can't help more.

  • Lock button does not work

    lock button does not work

    My partner AND my Lumia 900's Lock Screen have ceased to function as well. I even went as far as doing a "master reset" and it did nothing but lose all my pix and info (Thank God for SkyDrive!) I have a real security concern now, and I cannot leave my phone ANYWHERE unattended at ANY TIME as there is no safeguard to "lock the screen to prevent unauthorized use". I've brought this to both Nokia's and AT&T's attention, but, as usual, it's fallen on deaf ears. This and a "couple other antics" (volume is wacky now as well, both phone conversations and listening to music: BEFORE the 7.8 update, everything worked just fine, now the volume will NOT go over "10" on a scale of "30" for a phone conversation, and will not exceed "17" in volume on a scale of 3"30" when listening to music. When a voice message comes in, the volume is SO low that I actually have to place to phone over my ear canal to hear it.......

  • HT5824 i can not trun off my phone because my lock button does not work

    i can no trun off my phone because my lock button does not work

    Welcome to the Apple Community Shakoya.
    Go to settings > general > accessibility > assistive touch > on. This will place a faint icon on the screen, this is then available from any screen and you can turn the phone off by tapping it, tapping device and then tapping lock screen.
    This should suffice until you can have your phone fixed.

  • My iphone lock button does not work and it randomly shut off. i need help!

    the lock button has not been working.. i was using my phone, put it down for like 30 seconds and wont turn back on!

    Are you using a case to protect the iPhone? If you are try taking it off and seeing if the button works normally then.
    If you don't have a case on the iPhone, try restarting or restoring the iPhone.
    If that doesn't take care of it, the iPhone will need service.

  • Portal Content Studio - mouse button does not work anymore

    if you use the portal content studio
    content-administration > portal-content
    you can configure the portal objects by browsing them and clicking the right mouse button.
    That worked but now the mouse button doesn't work - left mouse button works as expected (with left mouse button one can navigate through the objects, iViews, working sets, etc...).
    Right mouse button does nothing, portal objects could not be edited. Of course, the mouse is Ok.
    Is this strange error known?
    How to avoid it?
    Is there a possibility to reset this application, so it restarts/re-initializes correctly?
    Even a restart of SAP NetWeaver didn't help.
    Or can one use another method to perform an action instead of the right mouse button?

    reason were endorsed libs in the jre
