My lock button is stuck inside my iPod touch.

Whats wrong with it and How much will it be to get it fixed?
I have an iPod touch, 4th generation.
I got my iPod about a year and a half ago, but I've only used it for a year. About a month ago, after dance I had grabbed my iPod and tryed to unlock it but it wouldn't unlock. Before I pressed it to unlock it, it was very loose. After I pressed it, it got stuck inside and its still a little loose but it wouldn't come out. So I pressed the home button to unlock it and I've been doing that ever since. I have to let my iPod automatically lock, because of the button not being able to work. I'm just tired of waiting and not being able to lock my iPod. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how much it will cost to get this problem fixed without the warranty (I never got to set it up)
Please if you know how much, let me know. Thank you.

I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple stoe.  Maybe they can free the button.  If not, Apple will only exchange it for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.

  • My lock button on my 1 g iPod touch is not working???

    My lock button on my 1 g iPod touch is not working???

    Its possibly because its only a 1g iPod. I suggest you either get a newer iPod or bring it to an Apple store and see what they can do.

  • What am I to do when the home button and lock button doesn't work on ipod Touch?

    On clicking the buttons nothing happens...neither does it lock nor does it go to the home page...the screen is also not timing out....

    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 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.

  • My lock button is stuck and when I push it it won't lock. Should I bring it to the apple store?

    Yeah so my lock button is stuck inside the iPod and I can't get it out. It doesn't lock my iPod but if I try to push it nothing happens. Should I bring it to the apple store by my house??

    You can't backup the iPod then.
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and restore via iTunes:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                           
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    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 most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If data is not in the backup then:
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - Maybe you can get some info from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

    I have An Ipod Touch 4g and My Sleep/Wake Button is stuck inside so i am unable to press it How can i fix this?

    If not caused by accidental damage, the iPod Touch includes a one year warranty. If your iPod Touch remains under warranty, you can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby. If the iPod Touch remains under warranty you open the iPod Touch youself or by a 3rd party, doing so will void the warranty. If you live near an Apple Store, make an appointment to see if the store can get the button unstuck. If not under warranty, there won't be any charge for this.

  • Lock button is stuck down? help!

    My friend jail broke my ipod touch with out my permittion. And now the lock button is stuck down, great. How much would it cost to fix, would they charge more if they find out its jail broken?
    Thanks

    If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, you can use virtual Lock Button. Tap Settings App > General > Assessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even be used to turn OFF iPhone, by holding down on it. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

  • The locked button, is stuck ( broken) in down position

    IiPod Nano top lock button is stuck, so can't switch it on or off or change the music, it about 18 mths old. Is there anything I can do.?

    If you purchased Apple Care, call them and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • 4th Gen iTouch lock button got stuck. How do I fix this?

    How do I fix this? My 4th Gen iTouch's lock button got stuck and I can't use it. I'm left with the home button and accessibility button. Power Mac Service Centers didn't fix or replace it even though it is still covered by the warranty because they said that it had a dent on the lower left side.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
