    You need to get the on/off button repaired.
    You can try connecting the iPhone to a power source which should power the iPhone on.

  • 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.

    Rice is hit or miss but if you can (assuming you live in a home with a furnace) sit it up with the speakers facing down on an air flow register for about 10 minutes.  The heat from the furnace will not harm the sensitive components and will dry the phone out nicely including the display layers.  DO NOT USE a hair blower!  The iPhone is capable of drying out much more easily than phones with removable backs as the iPhone while sumbermeged in liquid (for a short time) will take on limited moisture hence can be dried and keep on keeping on.  My dauhter dropped her iPhone 5 in a toilet and it was fine after spending 24 hours in rice and 10 minutes on the air register while the furnace was producing heat.
    One last thing.  DO NOT POWER ON the phone until the drying out efforts have been completed and certainly DO NOT plug it in.

  • Half of my lock button isn't working.

    I bought my iPhone 5 on December 26th and it has been in an otterbox since I bought it, and I have never dropped it. If you tap the back of my phone right about the apple logo you can hear a slight rattling noise and the right half of my lock button isn't working. But if I press to the left of the middle of it, it does work. I have Applecare, the one problem is the nearest Apple store is 2 hours away. What should I do?
    Thank you!

  • I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

    What can I do? I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

    Once you have a proven, working Charger... Charge the Device for a couple of hours. Then try to turn it on.
    If no joy...
    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...
    If the issue persists...
    Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • My iPhone lock button is not working

    my iphone lock button is barely working what should i do?

    Thank you for the advice for the lock screen, although useful it does not solve the problem of the buttons not working, really Apple should fix this even though it's over the 12 months, I have had many Iphones now but I've had many problems with them like buttons and screens, I am now going to get one of many other phones that are now as good as Apple Iphone If not better, Apple will be getting old now and competition is much higher , time to move on to the future of better phones )

  • I have virgin mobile iphone that i found,the power button doesn't work and the phone is now saying disalbed what can i do to fix it

    I have a virgin moble iphone that i found, the power button doesn't work and the phone is saying disabled,what can i do to fix it?

    Probably nothing, the phone has a high likelihood of being stolen and if you try to Restore it you will run into Activation Lock. Turn it in to the local authorities.

  • My lock button isn't working on the 4S, I bought the warranty, and Apple will be contacting me soon tomorrow. Will I be charged a deductable?

    I checked the help pages, and it said to make sure i have the latest software update. If that didn't help, try a Factory Reset. What does that have to do anything with my lock BUTTON not working? (For the record everything is up to date) This is my first iPhone4s, depending how the conversation goes tomorrow with Apple Support going to see if I will be sticking with apple products. So, far it has been an amazing phone, but gotta make sure their service is   as good as their product.

    All new iPhones have a 1yr warranty.  Unfortunately, due to the device being damage the warranty will not cover the issue.  Take the device to Apple and purchase an Out of Warranty replacement.

  • My iphone 4 died, it won't turn on, it won't charge, it isn't being recognized by my computer. Holding the home  lock buttons isn't working. I can't restore it because it won't show up in iTunes. All I see is a red battery sign. Help?

    My iPhone 4 has gone completely dead and is unresponsive. Can anyone help?

    I would never recommend tinyumbrella. I've had to respond to hundreds of posts from people who used it and found the it trashed the network database on their computer.
    If you can't recover using approved methods rather than hacking your phone (which is what tinyumbrella does) then you've probably got a hardware problem.
    So what should you do? First, connect it to a charger for 15 minutes. If it doesn't recognize the charger try a different one and a different cable. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold up to 1 minute. If nothing happens your phone really is broken, either a broken connector or a bad battery.
    If you DO get some response see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Of course, if you have already tried tinyumbrella this won't work until you repair the damage to your network database on your computer. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

  • Hi i have an iphone 5 the screen in broken the lock button is not working and now the phone wont charge do u think warranty will cover my phone for a replacement or no?

    HI so to be clear
    screen cracked
    lock button isent working
    wont charge
    do you think apple will still cover this under a replacement warrenty?

    Depends how that happened and how long the warranty is still left .....u can replace the screen ...and does the home button work? If so then go to settings> general> accessibility >assistive touch( it has many functions like locking the screen ,screenshotting just by touching the screen
    Hope this helps

  • My sister's iPod Touch 4G has blacked out and the Apple with the slice is dissapearing and re-appearing. The Lock button doesn't work and it won't cut on at all so iTunes isn't connecting to it. What do I do?

     

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place in recovery mode use one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    For MAC or PC
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    - 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 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.
