Power button no longer works??

I have a macbook pro retina dis late 2013, when i first got the laptop the power button worked great, press it and it would give me the option to, restart/sleep/shutdown. Now since my 1yo boy started pressing buttons and caught me off guard it no longer works if you tap power button like before.
it does however still go to sleep if its depressed for longer period, but now to shut down my laptop i now have to press ctrl Power to shutdown?
I know its only one extra button to press but it was far convenient just quickly pressing the power button once and hitting return when it automatically highlights shutdown first.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Nik

Sorry, you won't be able to reset or take a screen shot without the sleep/wake button functioning. Can you use a small flat blade to activate the button inside the now open slot?

IPhone 5 Power button no longer working.

Hi,
My iPhone 5 power button no longer works, I was wondering what my options for this would be?
I bought it last december with AT&T, can I return it at the AT&T store or would I have to go the Apple store?
Thank you.

You would have to go to the Apple store. AT&T can't help you.

Iphone 5 lock screen and power button no longer works?

With my iPhone 5 that I have had for around 10 months the lock/power button hardly ever works. I have to press the button many times and for multiple seconds for my phone to power on or off. What can I do? Will Apple replace it, and will they give me another 16 like I have now? I really want to know before my warranty runs out because I truly do love my phone and want it to work properly.

If it is determined that your problem is due to user abuse or damage, your warranty will be void; but you will be eligible for an out of warranty replacement for $269.

IPad Power Button No Longer Working

Hi all- I got my iPad (32Gb) on launch day and it has been a wonderful piece of tech to use- until today, when the iPad's power button simply stopped working. The iPad is still in mint condition, kept in a case, and handled like a gem- but pressing the black power button in the top right corner does not turn on/off the screen... it's as if the power button doesn't connect to circuitry at all. All the other buttons (home button, vol. rocker, screen lock) still work just fine.
Since the power button worked before, I wondered if it was a software problem and did a full system backup and restore- but, alas, even after the restore the power button simply doesn't do anything.
Has anyone else seen experienced this problem? I checked other online forums and it seems at least a handful of other users have also experienced this too- what to do? The nearest Apple store is a couple hours away, which is why I ordered the iPad to be shipped to me on launch day.
I appreciate any advice you may offer- thanks!

My power button has not worked since day one out-of-the-box on my brand new 64GB WiFi iPad. Had this new toy for about 10 days now and nobody can understand how a power button can miss quality assurance from the assembly factory. Have tried restoring, letting the battery run out, and all other sorts of combinations of button pressing and it simply does not work. I live in Europe and this was a gift bought in the US, so "taking to a mac store" is not an option. All of the resellers over here are giving me different stories about the best way to resolve. Any ideas? Just trying to avoid letting this thing out of my death grip cause other than the power button issue, it works fine - until i need to power down or reset
Please, someone admit they had a similar issue?

DVI to ADC adaptor: Display power button no longer works w/G5?

I'm looking for answers on a topic originally brought up in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=221092&tstart=45
concerning the Studio Display's power button when attached to an ADC/DVI adapter for use on a G5.
I am having the same problem. I had previously used the monitor directly attached to an MDD G4, and the power button worked fine. Now that it's attached to the adapter, I can't power up the G5. The brightness button will open the Monitors prefpane, so I would say that it's not a problem with the overall USB system.
Otherwise things work fine, so it's not the end of the world, but I'd like some confirmation or denial of the problem just to know if there's a defect or not.
TIA
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

It is working normally. ADC has extra pins to support the power button and light. DVI connectors don't have these pins, so there is no way for the DVI to ADC adapter to make the power button work.

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...

My iPhone apps keep crashing and my sleep button no longer works

So my apps keep crashing when I try to open them; everything from games to my email. My sleep/power button no longer works so I can't even shut it down to restart it. I don't know if I should just let the battery die and hope that by rebooting it will work again? Doesn't really make sense why they won't open anymore.

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.

ENVY 7640 - Power Button doesn't work after going to sleep

We print about once a day. It printed the first day without problems.The second day, we were unable to print and went to the printer and pushed the touchscreen - nothing happened.Then we pushed the power button - nothing happened,Then we unplugged and re-pluged the power cord - the printer booted and we were able to print. The third day, we were unable to print and went to the printer and pushed the touchscreen - nothing happened.Then we pushed the power button - nothing happened,Then we unplugged and re-pluged the power cord - the printer booted and we were able to print.The fourth day, we were unable to print and went to the printer and pushed the touchscreen - nothing happened.Then we pushed the power button - nothing happened,Then we unplugged and re-pluged the power cord - the printer booted and we were able to print.Then we registered with this forum and ask this question:HOW CAN WE KEEP THIS PRINTER POWERED ON WITHOUT RE-PLUGGING IT EVERY DAY?

I have the same issue as described at the beginning of this post. As noted by teacher, I have checked and confirmed the green light in back is still lit. I just bought this printer and issues started from the beginning. After I unplug and then restart the printer that way, it turns on and the power button will turn off and then turn on the printer. Its only after its static for a long time and goes into some undefined mode. At that point, the printer no longer responds. How can a company ship a product to customers in which the power button doesn't work? The only reason I bought this printer was becuase my HP Photosmart 7510 randomly gave me printer head error after changing the ink. It was only like 3 years old. I can't believe my new printer is buggy. Your company is on thin ice now. Please help me resolve this problem.

Iphone power button doesn't work and LED is on

Have a black 64gb iphone 4s, (ios 6.1.3), no case - for about 1yr4mo. last week i fell asleep on the phone and when i woke up, the power button wasn't working. I left the phone plugged in for the rest of the night, and when i got up it was working again. Last night I once again fell asleep on my iphone, and woke up to find both the power button not working AND the LED light is stuck on... its kind of like at maybe 5% brightness. I put the phone in a bag of rice for the rest of the night, but this morning now, the light is still on and LED still on. Phone never officially got wet, but I suspect there was enough moisture to potentially cause problems.
phone is out of warranty and i'm trying to figure out how long i wait until i start poking around at it to see if i can do anything with it...
anyone have any ideas?

Hi, bruno7.
1. Have you tried "Mac OS: Apple Pro Keyboard Shortcuts for Shut Down and Restart"?
2. What changes did you make to your Mac before this problem arose?
3. Are you using FruitMenu? If so, check for updates, disable it, or uninstall it.
4. After you next shut down, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
5. An errant Startup or Login Item maybe the cause. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
6. If none of the above, when you attempt to select Shut Down or Restart from the Apple menu and nothing happens, immediately check the ends of these Console logs for clues.
Good luck!
