HT201263 iPhone 4s locked up after failed attempts. Power button is jammed
My friends iPhone locked up after he forgot his password. He gave it to me because I usually fix iDevices around my school. Well, I thought it would be a simple fix but his power button is jammed. I can't enter recovery mode to restore. I tried using tinyumbrella to enter recovery mode but it isn't detecting his iPhone. I need help. Please
When the iPhone turns OFF due to battery running down, open iTunes on computer, hold down Home button and keep holding while connecting iPhone to computer, keep holding until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode (this should take less than 20 seconds of holding down home button), then click Restore button of iTunes.

Can I get a free replacement iPhone 4S if my Power button is jammed?
I've had my iPhone 4S since February 2012 so obviously my one year warranty that came with my phone is done. I just wanted to know that if I take in my iPhone to an apple store if they'll replace it with no charge even though my warranty is done. My power button just jammed yesterday and when I press it, it's rock solid and doesn't move at all.
No 12 months is 12 months .Assume you do not have Apple Care +
An out of warranty exchange is $199 if you are in US (£159 ) -
Last night I turned off my iPod and this morning when I went to turn it on again it didn't work the power button is jammed down. I don't know why this happened or what to do; I'd like to go to the Apple Store but I'm worried about my device being under warrenty, I'm not sure how long the warrenty is and how to prove it's under warrenty. I recieved the device as a Gift, so I don't have a reciept.

The power button on my nano appears to be jammed. I didn't notice until I tried to check the distance on my pedometer while on a walk, because the music was playing fine. I just couldn't wake the touch screen to do anything. It plays fine. Anyone know how to fix this?
You'll need to get it serviced.

Yes, but you'll need to have it serviced by either Apple or a 3rd party repair company of your choice. Not much else for options at this point.

I am currently situated in India and they have a messed up replacement policy but, if i send my phone with the bill and everything will i get an over the counter replacement? The phone was bought in August 2012 and the power button jammed in November 2012. Also, does Apple only replace the phone or the earphones and everything that comes with it?
You will have to physically take the iPhone to an Apple store in the US,
if that is where it was purchased. If you are not going to be in the US, send
it to a friend or relative there to take into Apple for you, and then that person
can ship it back to you - shipping costs and insurance are your responsibility.
Apple does not accept international shipments for replacement nor will Apple
ship a replacement out of the country where replacement is made. Only your
iPhone - if determined to be defective - will be replaced, and your iPhone is all
you need to take to Apple.
iPhone warranty is valid only in country of original purchase - it has always been
this way for iPhones. The replacement policy is not messed up - it is working as
designed. Apple India would not have the correct handset to replace the one you
purchased in the US. -
T60P w/Docking Station Battery & Power LED's Go out when Power button pushed rem batt to fix
Subject line says it - unit runs fine, battery is is good shape, replaced charger with a new spare. With PC on the docking station and all plugged in, both batt and power lights green, pushing either the laptop power button or the docking station power button, immediately extinguished both LED's and they remain that way until the laptop is removed from the docking station and the battery is removed and then reinserted into the laptop. PC will then boot and run normally with battery showing full or nearly full charge. Power cord can be reinstalled and all goes fine or the PC can be inserted onto the dock and all goes well also. But, after a normal power down, the restart problem reoccurs, etc.... Any ideas out there?
UPDATE #3
OK, getting interesting. Last test was to shutdown and leave off overnight, after having been successful at rebooting several times in a row beforehand. After it sat overnight, with AC adapter plugged in, it would not boot in the morning. Same situation as has been the case. Pulled out battery, reinserted, and boot took off. Later, laptop was taken to an off site meeting, whereupon, it would not boot no matter what was done with battery or adapter. Condition repeated back at home. I then decided to check the battery voltage and found it to be 12.78v, which from my battery knowledge for Li-Ion's should have only been a max of 12.30v for this nominal 10.8v Li-Ion Panasonic battery. (4.1 v/cell max, nominal 3.6 v/cell) So, it appeared to be overcharged and would be why I was seeing no problems with restarts or short-term shutdown/reboots, but only after the battery had time to fully (Over) charge. So, I connected a 1 amp load to the battery using a 12v automotive tail lamp bulb I had around and ran the battery down to 11.78 v. I just wanted it below 12.3v. When battery was reinstalled in laptop, boot was successful. At that point, I reenabled the Thinkvantage Power Manager 6.4 program thru the config.sys program, where I had previously disabled it, and then rebooted. Once booted up, I then ran a Battery reset, which took about 6 hrs to top of the battery charge, fully discharge it (somewhere in the 9 v range) and then recharge it. Once that completed, I removed the AC adapter and drained the PC down to about 90%, and shut it off. This morning, it booted just fine on the battery alone. I plugged in the AC adapter and it charged up, but only to 91%, where I had told it to stop thru TPM. It is now set in software to only charge to 91% and stop charging until the capacity falls to 85%. This is planned to be a temporary setting, just until I understand further what is happening. The 'reset' capacity of the battery is now 77 WH, vs the design WH originally available as reported by the battery BIOS as 84 WH. In other words, the new 100% capacity is 77Watt-hours instead of what the battery had two years ago when it was new. I also just discovered a 'Important Message' related to the Battery Software Update Utility that describes a problem with certain Panasonic manufactured Lenovo batteries that sounds like what I have been fighting. This problem battery is a replacement for the original one from 2007, which also died and completely locked out the laptop. Until I can get the laptop shutdown and pull the battery to check the FRU/partnumber, I will not know for certain if it is indicated in the Lenovo Battery Utility Update or not, but I'm betting it is.... stay tuned.....ok - just checked the battery - it is a 42T4620 and not one of those listed in the Battery Utility Software Update - but I think is should be! BTW, shutdown, removed battery to check P/N, rebooted - all fine. The 'acid' test will be to leave it plugged in over night and see if it restarts okay....TWT... oh, and in case you're wondering, I have a new laptop on order because this is nuts.......:-) -
My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?
The "fix" is to get the phone repaired. There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you. -
Why is the power button (which I need daily) missing on Apple TV?
As there is usually no other way to get Netflix to show up when it says itcan't be reached.
Very annoying and presumptious.Press and hold the centre button on the remote and the light will give a quick flicker.
Let go of the button and it will be switched off. -

this is my third iphone 4 since november 2011, all hardware problems, i didnt drop or anything, first was the power button was jammed, got a new one, then there was so sound, so i got this one for about 3 months and now the power button is jammed again, this is beginning to become a pain, why are these refurbished iphones so ******? should i bring it in to apple, will they replace it for free? and how do i know this wont happen again and again
It depends on whether or not it's determined to be physical damage caused by a drop etc. If the phone is under warranty and it's determined not to be from misuse or physical damage, they should swap it out for you. If it's physical damage and the store is tough about their terms, it may cost you $199. Hopefully they'll be able to swap it from the LED flash issue, since that seems to be a hardware defect.
