My Ipad mini's home button is stuck. Stuck as in i can't click it. No depression reflex. it won't click at all. Should i replace it?

i tried cleaning it with a cotton bud. I tried re-calibrating it. I tried twisting it.I tried fixing it with the charger. But it didn't work.
It's stuck as in stuck that I can't press on it anymore. No depression reflex. No clicking sound that happens when it's pushed down because it doesn't go down when it actually should. Its literally stuck. Am I doing anything wrong? Is there any DIY method to fix this? Or do I have to have it opened up and changed?
Thank you for any help!

NO DONOT OPEN TAKE TO APPLE STOREif you open Apple will not replace or repair and it will be useless. Boyd uk

  • My screen is cracked and my home button is stuck down. Where can I get this fixed?

    On my iPod touch 4th G my screen broke in the bottom right corner and there are spider cracks all the way up to the top of my iPod screen. Also, now my home button is stuck down; a shard of glass probably is preventing the button from popping back up. Where can I get this fixed?

    Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending up the capacity.

  • IPad Mini decrease volume button suddenly stuck down... Overuse?

    A few nights ago, as I was watching YouTube, my decrease volume button on my 1st Gen iPad Mini got jammed down suddenly... It literally was working perfectly moments before. If you press down hard you can still turn the volume down, but it seems to just be stuck down. My Mini has always been in a case (looks brand new, no dents and such) and the power, increase volume buttons still 'click' and work perfectly but I've had it since Christmas 2012 so I think it could just be overuse. Any ideas on how to repair it?
    Thank you!

    Hello thisiscourtney-
    I’m not sure if Apple still performs repairs on 1st Gen iPads anymore, but my recommendation would be to take it to an Apple store or contact Apple directly here for more assistance.
    My guess is that most likely it would be uneconomical to fix, but that’s obviously your decision.
    Thanks for posting!

    My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck.  Pressing the wake/sleep button does not bring up the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset the ipad?  Can I remove the battery? and then put it back in?

    No the battery is non removable.
    Try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

    My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds… Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but not the most up-to-date version

    It's just the battery sign - nothing else. I've tried to reboot by holding down both power and home key for 10+ seconds, waiting for the apple logo - but nothing happens. It's plugged into the imac at the moment. I tried to recharge it overnight using the normal charger - but no luck. It went dead during a Skype call with a friend - even though it was powered into the mains - albeit at a low battery level at the time
