My power button on my iPhone 5 isnt working properly, if at all!! Pls help!

What exactly happened?
would you notice a mechanical issue with the button?
if its a hardware issue and your under the warranty, you could have the device be repaired or replace as long as there is no accidental damage and liquid damage.
you can always do a restore to isolate it from being a software issue
please do back up when doing a restore for your device

My power/sleep button on my iPhone 5 has been malfunctioning.

Only the left side works. Do you guys think Apple would fix it if I have T-Mobile running on it?

I've had an unresponsive sleep button last year with the iPhone 5 (about 9 months after I bought it outright). Brought it to the Apple store in Sydney and had it replaced for free with no questions asked.
The Apple genius checked to make sure that there was no water damage and checked the IMEI to make sure it was under warranty. Otherwise it would cost money to have it replaced.

The lock button on the iphone 4 isnt working.

It looks ok , but you cant push it in, Vodafone say i must have damaged it by hitting it on something. but I know I havent, it just stopped working. Surely if you damage it then it would be stuck in or there would be marks on the top of the phone if you hit it hard. Very confused as the phone is only 6 months old . They have replaced it but want £150 off me to pay for the replacement as they say the returns report says it was damaged.
Anyone know why this fault could happen without it being damaged by me

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately I have already sent it back as they agreed to cover it under the warrenty but only on the basis it doesnt come back as a damaged item. VF state I have put too much pressure on it but I dont think I have , it isnt as if I have been banging it on the table. I am still arguing with them over it but thought I would ask as someone else might have had the same issue

Broken power/sleep button

I have had my iphone 4 since Oct 2010 and it is still in great condition. But, within minutes, my power/sleep button stoped working. It isn't stuck, but is not functioning in any way. Is there a solution I can tackle by myself or am I out of luck? Also, I didn't buy it directly from the apple store, I bought it from ATT. (Oct 2010ish?) Is this a fix that needs "major" or "minor" surgery?
THANK YOU!

You can bring it to a 3rd party repair shop if you wish, but out of warranty exchange via Apple is $149.00. AT&T does not handle repairs; don't even bother bringing it there.

Power/Sleep Button "Lags"

Recently I've been having problems with my Power/Sleep button. Sometimes, the button fails to respond and the only way to fix it so far is to connect it to iTunes and disconnect it.
Now at first I thought it was a software error, so I updated but still the same problem. I also restored numerous times, but no avail.
This is recently happening quite often and very annoying.
What should I do?

If this is still happening after restoring as "new iPhone" in iTunes, there may be a hardware problem. Your only option is to make an appointment with an Apple store Genius Bar to get it checked out.

Power/Sleep button broke

Power/Sleep button broke, is there any way this can be fixed at home? I bought the phone 2nd hand and it still had warranty when I sent it back because of a dead pixel and a wobbly home button they said the warranty had been voided? Which confused me so I can't send it back to Apple, any help would be nice. I have ready through old dicussions but didn't seem to find much help

Apple doesn't fix stuff like this, they replace the phone. Cost for an iPhone 4S is US $199. You can try a third-party repair shop in your area, Google such...should be around US $50 or so.

Power/sleep button broken i need to get it into DFU mode.

Hi all i dropped my Iphone 3GS today and sadly the power/sleep button just stopped working but i really need to put it into DFU mode so i can restore the device and update the device i was wondering if there was any other way, also i have no time to go into a apple store as i am it college and work and i can't really afford to repleace this phone, if i coulf get it into DFU mode then i would be fine unto i get a new job
Thanks in Advance.

Yes i had the phone for 1 and a half years now. and no the sim thing is when i updated to IOS5.0.1 i have read about it and it has happend to quite a few people when there updated to the IOS5 or 5.0.1, 5.1 is meant to fix this issue so i heard.
I tried the sim in a friends phone Iphone 3G, activates fine, I been down to my local orange shop there said there seen a few problems like this and it is due to the IOS5 or 5.0.1 there tried over 20 sims and managed to get one to work i think it is because of the basebind update, but anyway i have took my phone into a local repair shop and there are repairing it for me and wow there have good prices there can repair it for £30 and it be ready first thing in the morning, apple said there can repair it for £80 and it could take upto 3 weeks so i need my phone for tommorow so i took it into the repair shop and it is alot cheaper.
And @stevejobsfan0123 I just looked at your products and i must say wow i did not know one person could own so many apple products .
Thanks for all your help though .

Hi Hamish1P,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like an app you installed is not working. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Power / sleep button won't work

Using an iPad 2, the power / sleep button stopped working. Pressing the button won't make it sleep. Holding the button won't shut it down. I tried a hard restart (pressing the power and home buttons at the same time) for 10 seconds then one minute, and nothing happend. So I decided to restore the ipad and backed it up to my MBP in iTunes. When I clicked the button to Restore a message said some apps weren't transferred, but I don't know how to transfer apps and figured that's what a back up is. I tried drag/drop of apps but that didn't work. I looked around for instructions how to transfer the apps but there was nothing but Back Up, so I clicked Restore.
The iPad was Restored, but all the apps were deleted and the power / sleep button still doesn't work, so it won't shut off or sleep.
Any ideas?

More than likely, you have a hardware problem with the iPad sleep button and there is nothing that you can do about it other than to have the device replaced. That will be covered under the warranty, if the device is under one year old and if the damage was not caused by user abuse. You should probably contact Apple or take the iPad to an Apple store for evaluation.
When the iPad Ian connected to iTunes on the Mac - if you click on the iPad name under the devices heading - and then click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right - do you see your apps in iTunes? If you see them in the list, sync them back to the iPad.
If you don't see them, if they are gone .... You can download most of your purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. Read more about it here.

my power button on my iphone is not working. What can i do about that?

Meaning that you cannot restart or reset the phone? If you haven't tried already, try both options.
Otherwise, you can do a backup & restore, or even a restore as new (only after a successful backup).
If the issue persists, then look at a replacement. Either it will be a hardware defect (free if within warranty), or physical damage ($49 with AppleCare Plus, $149 without it.)
