My IPod touch 4G's volume and lock buttons have been not working properly What should I do that isn't too costly

My iPod volume and lock button have not been working right ever since its battery died it did start to work again but then it stopped working. I'm very confused about how I should go about fixing this please help.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device As best you can). Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings      
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:                                 
iOS: How to back up                             
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    HI, i have ipod touch 32gb, i have noticed that volume and power button's do not respond. What should i do?

    Try the standard fixes in squence:
    - Reset the iPod (may not work because of power button problem).
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod
    If you still have a problem, it is likely due to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hello. I sent my WRT1900AC V1 to Linksys four days ago (Monday) via UPS with a RMA. Linksys paid the shipping and everything. The router is still in route, and it should arrive to their offices tomorrow. Once they receive the WRT1900 AC V1, they are going to send me an EA8500 as a replacement. But I have been reading the comments about the EA8500 here in the forum and it seems to have the same problems. I guess the firmware is extremely flawed in both routers (maybe it is almost the same code?). Anyway, I will try the EA8500 and I hope it works. I bought a temporary router from Walmart and I paid $35 for it. It is a Belink N600 DB. I can't believe that a $35 router is working a lot, lot, lot better than my previous $250 WRT1900AC router. Unbelievable. If the EA8500 doesn't work, I'm going to try and get my money back from Linksys, or contact The Consumerist or someone to get my money back and get a Nighthawk instead.

  • HT201263 iphone 4 will not turn on for anything. touching the home screen and lock screen still doesnt turn it on. what should i do

    my iphone 4 was working fine yesterday and last night it just started cutting off and on by its self and now it doesnt want to come on at all. what should i do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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. Take it apart and verify that you reassembled it correctly. Next take it to someone with more experience.

  • I installed Firefox 4 and it flat out is not working. What should I do?

    I installed FF4 and it does not work. I can see the search window and the firefox symbol, and I can type in entries, but when I press the enter key or hit the search arrow, there is no reaction or response. The screen remains as is.

    I would go to Control Panel, add/remove programs and uninstall all of it if it asks, then restart your computer and reinstall it again to see if that helps. You may have had a bad install.

  • Some water it fell to the hole where I can put my air plugs or air phones? And now the sound its not working. What should I do?

    What should I do when water fell on the hole where my air plugs goes and where I can hear some music?

    Best to take the iPhone to the Apple genius bar and have them ckeck it out...see if it can be cleaned and restored or needs replacement.  Water and electronics do not play well together.

  • I bought my iPhone 5 three months ago and the charger is already not working. What should I do?

  • Volume and Lock buttons stopped working after new iOS 4.3.3 update (ipod 4th gen)

    After I updated my ipod with the iOS 4.3, the volume and lock buttons stopped working.
    This has happened before and it'sprobably one of the most annoying problems ever.
    The lock button tends to stop working but then works again only when it wants to, but the volume buttons dont work at all.
    When the locked button worked again I turned it off and turned it on again, but it didnt fix the problem.
    I've pretty much tried everything that I've read and nothing seems to work.
    So now, I don't know what to do.
    Should I take it to a random apple store or to where I bought it from?
    It seems that it's happening to almost everyone, so at least I'm not the only one and maybe someone can help me out

    If you have restored in iTunes on a computer and the problem remains then it's a hardware fault and it needs to be repaired. When you update the iOS version on an iOS device it checks the hardware components, this is when it'll detect un-diagnosed hardware faults and the components will stop working... even if they were working previously

  • The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

    The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

  • I forgot my passcode and tried restoring my ipod touch, but it's not working. What should I do?

    I forgot my passcode and tried restoring my ipod touch, but it's not working. What should I do?

    Did you place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                          
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

  • When i plug my headphones into my ipod touch 5 i cant hear any music i tried 2 different headphones what should i do

    when i plug my headphones into my IPOD touch 5 i cant hear any music i tried 2 different headphones what should i do

    Hey Ehlam Managua, You have tried a different set of headphones, still no joy-- OK. (1st step in trouble shooting completed). Just to be clear the sound still works through the speaker, correct? If so, try quickly plugging / unplugging the headphone jack about 12 times, there is a tiny switch inside the port that may be stuck closed. If so the plugging / unplugging should free it up. If still no joy, have you tried turning your iPod off then turn it back on? If that doesn't work go into Setting>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still no joy, connect with your computer, make a full set of backups from this iPod to your computer, then Restore to Backup. If still won't work, Restore to New. If still nothing, could be dealing with a hardware issue. Contact your Apple store and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated.
