My iphone 4 has a broken lock button and wont turn on even when plugged in. How do I get it to turn on?

I had 67% power at 10 am but when I went to lunch at 1 my phone was dead. I tried plugging it into a power source but it still wont turn on, and as previously stated my lock button is broken. How do I turn it on?

If that is not successful try the remaining items of:
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.
- Try another cable
- 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.

  • How can I turn off an iPhone 5 that has a broken lock button and is frozen?

    I have an iPhone 5 and my screen has been frozen for about 20 minutes and the lock button is broken. I have assistive touch but that is also frozen. Are there any ways to turn off my phone?

    Let the battery die and/or plug it into iTunes and restore it.

  • How can I restore my iPhone 4S with a broken lock button and with a passcode

    I have tried restoring the phone by trying to let the battery drain and by plugging it in and holding the home button but that did not work. I also tried using RecBoot but kept getting an error message. The iPhone has a passcode and a broken sleep/wake button so I cannot put it into recovery mode. The holding of the home button method was given to me by Apple (called them). It is running iOS 5.1.1 if it makes any difference. Please help!!

  • Broken lock button and limited headphone connectivity covered?

    Would a broken lock button and limited headphone connectivity be covered in the 1 year limited warranty?
    It's hardware, but I'm unsure if it's counted as physical damage or not. It's a long drive to an Apple store and I don't want to waste gas to get a 'no'.

    Covered by warranty unless the damage is due to abuse.  If the iPod is all beat up and dented Apple may say it is due to abuse.  If it just shows normal wear it should be covered under warranty.

    An Apple pop up keeps coming up anytime I try and use my phone and it has an old Apple ID and it is asking for the password. How do I get it to stop?

    That means there is content on your phone...music and or apps...originally obtained using his Apple ID. Such content is forever tied to the account used to originally obtain it and cannot be transferred to another Apple ID. Your only choice is to identify and delete this content.

  • Can I replace an iPhone 5 with a defective lock button and a crack in the screen?

    I have an iPhone 5 with a defective lock button. It doesn't work at all anymore and I'm debating going into an Apple Store to get it replaced. But I also have a small crack in the corner. Will that crack keep me from making the exchange?

    If apple determines that the damage to the phone was accidental then they may not help.  I suggest you make an appointment at an apple store and have them evaluate it.  That is the only way you will find out if they will replace it for you

  • How can I reset my iPhone 4 with a broken lock button?

    The screen on my iPhone 4 went black but all the sonds are still working. I know resetting the phone would fix it, but my lock button is broken. Is there another way to reset my phone? I have a MacBook Air, so I'm sure there's a way to do it through that, I'm just not sure how. Help please!!!

  • I got an iphone 5 about 6 months ago.  I went to apple 2 months ago with a broken lock button and they have me a new one.  My lock button recently broke again so can I go back to apple and get another one seeing that it is still within my first year?

    I got the iphone 5 six months ago. The lock button broke two months ago so I went to apple and got a new one.  My lock button just recently broke so can I go get another phone seeing that it is still within the first year? Or will they not give me another one seeing I already got a new one? I've had the phone for six months and the lock button has already broke twice.

    There is no limit on warranty replacements.
    As long as it is defective,not damaged

  • Broken lock button and speaker

    I've had my iphone4 since December and so is still under warrant. The lock button has broken and now the speaker had also broke so it won't play music put loud and you also can't hear when on the phone to someone. Will they fix or replace the phone for free?

    Both of those problems will be covered by Warranty. Make appointment with Apple Genius who can make this determination and replace the iPhone.

  • How do I turn off my phone with a broken lock button and screen doesn't work?

    my lock button broke a few months ago and I've been getting along fine without it due to assistive touch. Now, my screen won't work at all.. I can't slide it to open it, can't slide to power off .. only thing I can do is slide down the today thing at the top and slide it back up .. I can get siri to bring me to my password screen but I can't type it in .. any ideas on how to turn off or restart my phone seeing as I can't slide to power off? This happened over night so my phone is at 94% as of right now and I don't want to wait for it to die because that will take forever ..

    Honestly the hard really right now to say what you can do. How long have you had the device? If it's under a year you can take it to apple store and they can switch it out for free. If it's over a year then it would be at a paid cost cause they can't fix that issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • I recently purchased a new computer and just downloaded itunes. I have an old iphone that has over 1,000 songs that I want to put on itunes. How do I get the songs on my iphone onto itunes?

    Help! I just bought a new computer and am trying to get the songs from my iphone to itunes on the computer. My old computer that had all of origional songs on itunes crashed so all I have is my old iphone. How do I get the songs to go into my itunes library. I would like to purchase a new iphone and plan to load the songs on it after I can figure this out? Please Help?

    Restore them to the new computer using the bakcup of the old one. If you don't have a backup of the old computer, you can re-download music purchased from the iTunes store. If they were imported from CD's, etc. You will either have to re-rip them or purchase third party software to extract them from the phone. The iPhone is not a backup or data transfer device.

  • How can i fix my iphone 4s ? the screen went black and wont turn back on.

    ugh

    Hi sandy,
    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time for up to 20 seconds. Hopefully the Silver Apple will display, which will mean the phone is resetting (no data will be lost). As soon as the Silver Apple appears, release the buttons, and wait until the Home screen comes back on.
    You should be OK after that.
    Good luck!
    Cheers,
