Iphone 4s power button jammed twice

I Purchased the Iphone4s in Nov. 2011. The power button jammed in August 2012. They replaced it for free and 5 months later it jammed again. They said since it is out of warrenty that I had to pay for a new one. They showed me how to use AssistiveTouch. It very annoying because I waste battery because I can't lock the phone and sometimes the phone does not automatically go off beause it is in my pocket.
I understand it is out of warranty, but the power button is a well known defect in the Iphone.
I really like the IPhone 4S but this is the 2nd phone that barley made it halfway through the intended warranty. I want to get another Iphone when my upgrade is avalaible, but I can't see bying another Iphone and having the same issue.
What should I do?

If your upgrade is to another 4S, then you get free replacements for 2 years with the AppleCare if the button dies. So, even if your luck is on the bad side again, you'll pay for that AppleCare in two replacements. You can always get the $69 AppleCare which does the same thing, except it doesn't include provisions for accidental damage.
Anyway, you're luck with it happening to two phones isn't good, but it's also unusual. If the phone was a refurb that might have something to do with it.
I mean, I would say go for it, cause even if the lock button does jam, you get a hardware coverage for the first year, which means you don't pay to fix it, just take it to an Apple store for exchange. You pay $69 when you upgrade, then you get that perk for two years. I say it's worth it.

Ipod Screen Is White And Power Button Jammed

You can let your battery drain and take it to an Apple store near where you live.

Lock/power button jammed

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.

Power button jammed on my ipod nano 6g!

My iPod nano's power button is jammed! I really like the iPod but if its too expensive to get it repaired I'm ditching the idea! Its not under warranty! My iPod nano 1g was replaced with this one by apple! My 1g worked fine and this broke down quickly .. I started using it only a few days back!

It's $65, since Apple gives 8GB models for those using the iPod nano 1st generation replacement program.

IPod power button jammed

I have an iPod 4th generation which is pretty old, but just a couple days ago, the power button got stuck. This is the first time that this happened to me, so do I have to get it replaced, or is there another solution? Thank you!

Hello, SparklingSofia.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend trying the troubleshooting steps in the section labeled Buttons and Switches. These steps are labeled for the iPhone, but they will also work for the iPod touch.

If the issue persists, see the section labeled Issue not resolved.

I have an iphone 4S and it is within the warranty period. However my power button is jammed. Will i get an over the counter replacement in any store in the USA?

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.

Power button of my HP printer jammed

My printer tries to work or at least it sounds like it is fixing to print and then NOTHING. The power button jammed when the printer was just a few months old and it will not print anything. I have turned it on its side and got the power button unjammed but it still will not print. Help

My nano's power button is jammed in. I can't wake it up to use the touch screen and I can't put it to sleep to save the battery. The only way to wake it up is to plug into computer. How do I get it unjammed?

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.

Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation and replacement. It's broken. There's no magic we can provide you.

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 )

Power button on ipod is jammed

the power button on my ipod touch 4th generation stopped working almost as if it is jammed. Any one have any helpful hints on how to fix it. Thanks

If under warranty I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
