Power button don't work

Hi
Marry Christmas foreveryone at first.
My MacAir's Power button has strange behavior It works when I try to switch ON my MacAir, but when I press it when computer works, i don't get dialog with Shoutdown/Sleep select options. Also it looks like my MacAir doesn't go to sleep mode when I close laptop. i think so because when I open it after it wakes up only by Power button all other buttons do not wake it up
Please, advise, should i carry it to service or i have to check any setup preferences...
Thank you.
Regards,
Georgy

The keyboard will often hold the liquid and protect the motherboard, unless it is a large spill. I certainly would try a different keyboard. It sounds like you got liquid into the grid below the keys. I would pull the keyboard first and see if there are signs that liquid got through.

How can I do a hard reset of iPhone 5 if iTunes and power buttons don't work?

My son's iPhone 5 will not go past the screen with the little blue iTunes logo up top and an image of the charger on bottom. I've tried syncing to iTunes to restore but receive an error message after it goes through updates. The error reads, "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "iPhone". The network connection was reset. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." So then I try holding down the power and home buttons to get the Apple logo but then the initial screen comes backs (iTunes logo/image of charger). This phone is really not THAT old so there has to be a solution out there.

The error that you are seeing has to do with your Internet connection. Try disabling your anti-virus software and connect the iPhone again and try to restore. See this support document for help. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

The power button and the volume buttons don't work

The power button ant the volume buttons don't work. I've tried to restore a previous version and doesn't work.
I use iOs 5.
Thanks

If you did not restore to factory defaults/new iPod try that. If you still have a problem after that then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPad 2 Rotation, Sleep, and Volume Buttons Don't Work.

I have an iPad 2 running 7.1.1 (11D201) and just yesterday the sleep sleep and volume buttons don't work, and the screen won't rotate at all. I have already tried the following:
Switched the Lock Rotation/Mute settings in General
Power cycling it
Held the sleep and menu button to reset it (the button worked for that at least)
Done a network reset
Reset All Settings and restored from backup
Reset All Settings and restored from iCloud
Erase All Content and Settings and restored from backup
Erase All Content and Settings and restored from iCloud
If anyone has any OTHER suggestions besides what I've already tried, I am all ears. Thanks.

Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

My iphone power button is not working. What can I do?

Hello, I bought an iphone 5 last year and it still in warranty . It has some regular scratches for the use but it never felt down.
The power button is not working now and I sent to an apple retailer here in Brazil (SOMA - Revenda APPLE Solution Expert e Assis. Tecnica Autorizada) to fix it. They refuse to do it saying that the button is not working because of the scratches what I believe is not true. And the retailler suggest to me to buy a new one.
And more, I receive the iphone with the factory configuration and I don’t know why.
I would know what can I do to fix the iphone. And How can I use the warranty here in Brazil.
I couldn't find an e-mail from apple.com support to report this.
I will stay in US next december. I can fix my phone in an Apple Store?
I'm very dissapointed with the technical assistance here in Brazil.
Thank You

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.)

I am having MacBook Pro 3 yrs old and today while I was watching some movie on it suddenly it got power off and when I am trying to start it, it's power button is not working even the round button on external left side is not showing battery lights. But when I connect it to chrger then Charger only gives green light and even the external round button only shown 4 green lights (if charger connected). I don't know what to do now

Sounds like you need a #1SMC Reset
1. SMC reset
>>Instructions to reset SMC
Disconnect other non-Apple and external hardware except (if applicable) a mouse and keyboard until your finished repairing your machine.
Problems solved: Fans blowing with no activity, machine is not booting, power button pressed and nothing happens, problems with indicators, Magsafe has wrong lights, battery is not charging, monitor and graphics issues etc. If the battery is not charged (from like letting it sleep too long), let the Mac charge up awhile afterwards.
Will not hurt the machine resetting if it's not broken.
Other related hardware problems (optional):
Check battery status: Hold option/alt key down while clicking on the battery icon in the menu bar, top right corner.
Magsafe: Use the correct/matching power supply charger with your Mac, not a less powered one from another Mac.

Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

Power button doesn't work after new update...and that's the least of it

Ever since I updated my 4S with the new software my phone has had so many problems:
Power button no longer works. I have to hold both the home button down and the power button to "reset" my phone to turn it off.
I am having to do this CONSTANTLY b/c my phone freezes up ALL the time. When texting, using maps, other apps. Sometimes I can't get the freaking thing to even unlock. Texting is a disaster. Half the time they don't go through and when my phone freezes up for the millionth time that day and I reset, I later find out that my freaking texts didn't even go through. I HATE THE NEW SOFTWARE HELP!!

If you are able to hold your home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time to reset the phone, you should be able to power it off just fine...

Power button fails to work about 95% of the time

Hello,
I have a Toshiba P205-S6267 that is having a strange issue.
About 95% of the time the power button fails to work when on battery, and it fails 100% of the time when the AC adapter is plugged in.
I am getting pretty stumped on this one and starting to think I may need to replace the 7-button circuit under the power button. Before I spend the $55 to do that, I wanted to see if anyone had any advice for me.
Here are the things I have tried.
- the standard unplug the power / battery and wait a few minutes then plug it back in.
- tried this only on battery, same issue
- tried only on AC, won't power up at all
- checked AC adapter with multimeter and it was outputting the correct voltage (also it keeps the battery charged still)
- removed the keyboard and speaker cover then reseated the 7-button circuit
- cleaned the ribbon cable contacts and reseated the ribbon cable for the circuit
- removed RAM and tried each stick by itself, no change.
I'm kind of lost here. Again, I am probably at a point where I need to replace hardware but I don't want to drop the cash without some kind of verification that I'm not retarded.
Any assistance or advice is welcome. Thank you.

Ah, I've been playing around with this and it seems I was mistaken about the nature of the problem.
It is deterministic, for one. It seemed nondeterministic because the action that makes the glasspane paint() fail is the act of giving focus to the JInternalFrame that the glasspane belongs to.
Why does giving focus to a JInternalFrame disable that frame's GlassPane? I can take focus away from it, and the repaint() method starts working again.

I have an iPhone 5. I got it just over a year ago and the power button recently quit working. Since ive had it for over a year, can i take it in and have it replaced or fixed?

Wow that is so unlucky. If I was you I would try talking to someone at the Apple Store, explain your situation and don't be shy to shed a tear or too. Its just a shame 3 weeks after your phone getting hardware problems. I know people will say, oh buy Apple Care but I feel ya and I know adding that extra money in the beginning feels pointless and expensive.
Worst case scenarion like I said you will have to pay Apple 269 for them to swap phones. Or if you have any nerd friends have them fix it for you. Its a tedious repair the way the power button has some weird hinge that needs to snap on and ribbons are so thin. I do not advise for you to attempt to fix your self unless you don't care if you break it completely.
Alternatively you could just turn on Assisitive touch on accessibility and use that. That way you wont need to pay anything to fix your phone and wont need to take it apart either.

HT201263 iPhone not recognized by iTunes and my power button doesn't work

My iPhone just shut down after a call, battery was around 60%, its power button doesn't work and iTunes doesn't recognize it. I can't put it in DFU mode because that's by pressing home and power simultaneously but I don't have a power button. I can't restores via iTunes because it doesn't recognize it. What am I supposed to do?!!

Same thing happened to me today...when googling found people having same problem with iphone 4 and said to hold power and home buttons to reboot. It worked! I was in a panic but its like it never happened...everything is as it was before. Even showed a missed call...

Ipod power button won't work

As of late, my power button is acting weird. Either when you press the power button it won't turn on.. or it will.. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't..
To get it to turn off if the power button won't work, I'll just drain the battery. Anybody know anything to help?

That's a hardware problem. Apple doesn't repair it. If there is no sign of abuse (don't try to fix it yourself), they replace it with a refurbished unit. The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.

IPhone 4 just turned off, power button doesn't work, won't charge

I was using my phone and it had 30% left, when I went to use it again it was unresponsive, won't turn on. I tried plugging it in and that does not turn it on either. Unfortunately my top power button does not work so I can't reset it and a computer won't recognize it, can anything be done to fix it or at least recover numbers and photos?

To fix it you need to get the sleep button fixed.
No way to recover photos or data from a non responsive iphone.

My power button has stopped working - seems to have lost it's 'spring'. My phone is over a year old and out of warrenty - any options?

My power button has stopped working - seems to have lost it's 'spring'. My phone is over a year old and out of warrenty - any options? It also seems to be going thru the battery in less than a day which was never the case. Are these two situations related?

I don't know if they are related or not, but I'd take it in to an Apple store. They might be gracious and offer to replace it, or at the least, it may be eligible for an out-of-warranty replacement at a reduced fee (currently $149.00 for the iPhone 4, 3Gs, 3G, and original - you get a refurb as replacement).

Ok I have an fully upgraded iPad 2 and the volume button don't work but it do with headphones can someone help

Ok I have an fully upgraded iPad 2 and the volume button don't work but it do with headphones can someone help. I try to go to settings and the volume won't go up there either I have the home button gesture and still the same. I try resting my iPad and nothing no sound work unless I have my headphones in. Do anybody know how to fix this

Did you try rebooting the iPad? You will need to have some battery power for this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
