My lock button isn't working. I am using the assistive touch thing right now. Can I get my phone fixed or replaced?

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!

    You can also call them to have your phone serviced:

    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.

    For some reason, your Mac doesn't recognise that a keyboard is present, so it looks for a wireless keyboard. The question is, why doesn't your Mac recognise that a keyboard is attached?
    First, you need to make sure you remove all peripherals, especially USB peripherals (the keyboard is on the USB bus). Then restart holding down the Shift key. This should boot in Safe mode. If the computer boots normally (not in safe mode) and the keyboard is still not working, try resetting the SMC

    If that still doesn't fix the problem, then the keyboard (or its controller) is probably damaged and needs to be replaced.

  • Can I get my phone fixed if the lock button is broken

    My lock button doesn't work, and neither does my volume button. I didnt do anything to break this like drop it in water so is there a way to get this fixed ?

    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.
    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.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

  • 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.

  • 311 lock button dose not work as given in the manu...

    hi, maybe I missed someting, but according to the user manual the lock button should lock the buttons
    and unlocking should need another press on the lock button and then (or at the same time) a move of the start screen. But my 311 (7.36) comes up again when pressing the right red button, even when not having pressed the lock button to unlock the phone
    any idea how to avoid unwanted accidental activating of the phone
    per aspera ad astra

    Its the big problem faced by asha 311 users if u facing this problem often you can activate security keyguard

  • HT201412 My lock screen is frozen. It will not let me slide to unlock or anything. I can't power it off because my lock button is broken and I can't do the assistive touch thing? Help!

    My lock screen is frozen! It will not let me slide to unlock or touch the screen at all. I can't power it down either because the lock button is broken. A friend of mine said I might need a new Digitizer? Is there anyway I can avoid that? Pleasae Help!

    I am having the SAME exact problem! Except instead of lock button broken it's my home button so I can't do the whole "put in recovery mode" deal. My screen only says "tap the home button 3 times" and it has my screen locked until I hit the home button but since it is broken I can't get in my phone at all. I have all of my work info in my phone so I'm screwed and can't get any help. PLEASE let me know if you find a way around this...!!!
    Thanks!

  • The browser back button is not working correctly when using the search funtion in ProBoards forums. Is there a known issue with ProBoards & FF?

    I have submitted a bug report to ProBoards, but they cannot duplicate the problem I am having, so I am submitting this here in hopes you can find a solution.
    At ProBoards Support and another PB forum while doing searches I found this problem, which continues with repeated testing over the past week or so:
    url: http://support.proboards.com/search
    1. enter perameters for the search (posts only by staff for the last 2 days)
    2. choose one of those post results & click on it (choose a post on page 14 and not on page 1 of the results)
    3. using the browser back button, attempt to return to the previous page of search results
    4. rather than being taken back to the search results with my parameters, the search parameters have been removed and the page show 1000 results of posts by everybody.
    I have tested this over and over again, disabling plugins, and nothing seems to alter the malfunctioning of the back button when I am doing this search function at ProBoards.
    I have tested it in Internet Explorer and find that in IE the browser back button works properly with ProBoards searches. I always get the result I expect, so it's a problem with how FF interfaces with ProBoards, I think.

  • Submit button doesn't work unless I use the record wizard

    If I create a form using the data objects/insert record/record wizard my form works fine..ie..the date gets inputed into my mysql database.   However, if I create the form myself without the record wizard my submit button does not work.   Any suggestions or thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

    It could be a problem with that script.
    You think?
    I'd say it definitely is.  But without seeing any code, we can only guess.
