On/off iphone button

My sleep/power button on my iphone 4 has stuck in the down position and now will no longer work. I called apple and they quoted me $149 to fix it. Does anyone have a less expensive way of fixing this problem?
Thanks!

Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store.
IF there is any physical damage to the phone, cracked screen, etc. then the warranty is void. It doesn't matter what caused the lock button to fail, if the phone is damaged, it's not covered.

I cannot turn off iphone - button stuck!

The power on/off button is stuck on my phone - and I am in middle of nowhere in southern France.
Any ideas on how to unstick?

There's no way to "unstick" it. The button's broken.

My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery" on its screen.

Hi! My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery" on its screen. I tried with different chargers, still dead! What's weirder is that my sister who has iPhone 4 experienced the same today! No we don't live in the same house!! Does anyone have the same problem?
Please apple support do you people have a convincing answer for us? Is there a solution? My phone is only 2 years old and was (2 hours ago), in top condition!!
Please help....

On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best."
My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals. Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

Faulty On/Off/Lock button iPhone 5

My iPhone 5 on/off/lock button has started playing up. I sent it away to O2 for repairs but they claim it is due to physical damage (which I am pretty sure it is not) and are trying to charge me for this. I have since googled this fault and it appears to be pretty common and should be covered by the warranty. Anyone else had issues with this and have any advice?

my on/off/lock button broke on my iphone 4s i can't afford to pay $199 for it and i'm afraid to do the repairs myself. do you have any suggestions on what i should do?

Te Apple exchange price is $149 for 32 GB 3G and $199 for the 64 GB. Likely not worth it.

FYI, you don't really need to turn it off. I think mine's been on for more than a year now.

HT201401 i am unable to switch off iphone with the power on/off button.

i am unable to switch off iphone with the power on/off button. Though I can feel the sense of the button, but it doesnt work.

If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, Apple charges $199 for Replacement iPhone 4S. You can use Assistive Touch. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can be used to turn iPhone OFF, hold down on the Lock Screen icon until "slide to turn off" appears. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, charger or USB port of computer.

Trouble deleting music off Iphone

I trouble deleting music off iPhone and iPod through iTunes. Can't access anything on it.

Now click on "Music" on the top left under "Library", all of your songs will appear to the right. There is a box to the left of every song. If it is checked, when you sync it will be transferred to your phone. To delete a song from your phone, uncheck the box next to it. When you have unchecked all the songs you want to delete from your phone, click on the Sync botton on the bottom right. When your phone finishes syncing the unchecked songs should be deleted from your phone.
To summarize: checked songs are synced to your phone when you sync, unchecked songs are deleted from your phone when you sync.
Edit: When you are done unchecking the songs you don't want on your phone, click on the name of your phone again on the left sidebar, then click the Sync button on the bottom right.

Alternative ways to turn off iphone

The lock button on my phone has stopped working and I am wondering if there is another way to turn off iPhone 5 without using that button.

Once Assistive Touch is turned on:
Tap the dark circle to open the Assistive Touch menu, then tap "Device" and tap and hold the Lock Screen icon. This will bring up the iPhone's Power-Off slider.

How can I reset my phone all setting and data off iphone 4without passward

how can I reset my phone all setting and data off iphone 4without passward

Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

Has anyone experienced the on/off touch button and the brightness touch buttons failing on a 30" cinema screen?

I have a 30" cinema display which is about 3 years old. Everything was working fine yesterday but on reboot today the screen went dim and the brightness buttons did not work. I used the key board and increased the brightness but it went dim again on release. The on/off touch button also did not work.
I have set to disable both of these in the preferences and all is working now but I wondered if anyone else has experience of both of these touch buttons failing. The monitor has been switched off when booting up on a morning but I had not switched it off manually before shut down or set it to do so which I thought was odd. Now I wonder if it was the first signs of a breakdown of the switches on the monitor.
Thanks for any imput in advance.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I phone 4 on/off/sleep button

Just wondering if anybody has had issues with the on/off/sleep button no longer working on iphone.

Go back to the first post that you made and check for answers. I posted there. No need to make multiple posts about the same issue.

IPhone button not working

My iPhone4 home button not working. Pressing the home and on/off button together does not bring up a dark screen with the apple logo. I have a laptop with window's 7 - ITunes not working and the apple website's download button not responding.
I am due an upgrade soon and was considering an iPhone again, but this inconvenience of not working and the trouble of accessing the software is giving me second thoughts of going for an iPhone again.

Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Toggle On
This feature can act as most of the iPhone buttons. Home or Sleep/Wake etc. It would help us if we knew which buttons your talking about.
Hope that helps
