    Any ideas? how long is warranty?

    The standard warranty is one-year. Yu can purchase, before the one-year is up and additional year. Yu can check your coverage here:

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

  • Power button not working with 7.1 update

    Power button not working with 7.1 update

    I take it your phone was still under warranty then?!
    Unfortunately I was not so lucky, and my experience was rather poor service-wise. They're called Apple Geniuses but I beg to differ...
    I'm not sure where in the world you are located, but my "experience" involved visiting the Leeds store and confusing everyone with this issue. I can tell you, just by the looks on their faces, they had never been faced with this problem before!
    I suggested my phone was rolled back to the version it was previously to establish whether this was the underlying issue. I was asked whether my phone had been backed up and as it had the "genius" proceeded to restore the phone "as it came out of the factory" to quote him.
    When this was completed the phone was still doing the same thing and I was advised "the software update must have highlighted a hardware issue." I was told it would have to be physically repaired and was told to have this done by a third party as Apple would charge approximately £160. Incidentally, I work in IT and repair PC's, laptops and mobile devices for a living and made a point of raising that a sleep/wake button ribbon cable for an iPhone 4S can be bought on eBay for as little as £3.00...if indeed it does need replacing, which I suspect it does not.
    Anyway, so now I was left with a phone for the rest of the day which was blank and still the problem remained. On the train, on the way home, you can then imagine my disbelief when I actually took the time to look at my phone's configuration and realised that iOS version 7.1 was still installed, so obviously the issue would still remain. So the visit to the "genius bar" was a complete waste of time as I'm still in the very same position, and I still blame the 7.1 update for this...let's home 7.2 is released very shortly and this solves the issue...
    I have downloaded the package to roll the version back to 7.0 but I'm a little reluctant to carry this out yet as I would expect Apple to so the issue they have caused. This is NOT hardware related but software.
    I seriously think Android is calling me...

  • HT1688 Power button not working

    Power button not working on iPhone 5

    This is a defect on iPhone 5 power button that wears out in about 13-14 months of usage just after you go out of warranty. Apple is aware of this issue but chooses not to accept this as a defect. I asked the Genius bar guy and they told me this is a common case recently and costs $269 to replace your phone. There is no repair option. I am very mad and believe Apple needs to take action or will lose their customers. All iPhone 5 owners that I know started having this problem in the month of 13 -14.
    I believe if the numbers go high, Apple may start a recall program. Please encourage anyone with this problem to post here. $700 phone should not wear out this soon. Apparently the part is defective on almost all iPhone 5 devices.

  • IPod touch 5th gen. Home button stuck and power button not working! Please help!

    I have an iPod 5th Generation and the home button is jammed down! It felt sticky earlier but now it's stuck down. I used it when the home button wasn't working and had to use my notifications to change from app to app (as I didn't know about assistive touch). I turned it off, but now the power button is no longer responsive! The button isn't stuck, but it doesn't work anymore. It was working fine before, but now it won't respond. Please help!

  • Power Button not working on my Zen Mi

    Hi, recently bought a Zen Micro 6GB off Ebay, was brand new, not second hand, unit was fine for month or two until now, the power button isnt working at all. So the only way i can turn the unit on is to plug it into my USB port or to use my charger.
    Any ideas why it might not be working?
    Ive reloaded the latest firmware/bought a new battery/formatted the player (firmware upgrade wiped player) but nothing seems to fix it. Ive not dropped it at all, the problem occured when the player had just been left on a table, no-one had touched it for a day or two and it just decided it didnt wanna work anymore.
    I can still use the player but i have to constantly leave it on incase im somewhere without access to a USB port or charger.
    Oh yeah and because the power button doesnt work i cant get into the recovery mode (as u know you have to hold the power button on)
    So....any ideas whats wrong?
    And will i be able to get a replacement from creative...although i bought it off ebay? I know i wont be able to get a refund or anythin off the ebayer coz its not really their problem.

  • Power button not working - officejet pro 8600 +

    Hi,
    I just find this problem today (after 1 year of using my officejet pro 8600+) but maybe, it's normal ....
    When the control panel is opened, the light on the power button is off and the power button stops working (not possible tu turn the printer on or off) but when the control panel is closed, the power button works as expected !! is this normal ?? I just find this issue today.
    Thanks for any answer,
    sincerly,
    Domi.

    Could you provide a few more details?  Do you mean the control panel on your computer?  How is the printer connected - Wireless LAN, LAN or USB?  
    I have never noticed this with mine, but I usually leave the printer on all the time and let the power saving put it to sleep automatically when not in use.

  • Power button not working properly for iphone 5. Warranty expired on 22 nov 2013 what to do?

  • Ipad 1 power button not working

    I dropped some water on my ipad 1 and it was working fine, except that hte power button stopped working. I let it sit there, and dry off, but to no avail. Then I drained the battery but every 30 seconds the symbol where it shows the dead batter blinking shows up without me even pressing anything. So i think that the power button is jammed, but it looks normal.

    Take it into your local Apple Retail Store and have a Genius fix it for you. I recommend scheduling an appointment to the Genius bar so you can avoid wait times. Search your local Apple Store in the search bar on the Apple website, and schedule an appointment.

  • Iphone 5 power button not working!! They have replacement program for months but why they dont email you and say it??

    I have had iphone 5 and have never been happy and i think apple is not leading the technology and future of market anymore as they are lowering quality of their products(even hardware). I had to change first iphone 5 i had because of wireless issues and then i had battery problem  and had to charge 3 times a day and finally after 2 years i bought they decided that its faulty and they decide to change it. Luckily enough i read it on an online tech magazine and after googling i see that they have had replacement for power button as well which i am eligible for as well!! i go to genius bar and they replace battery but they dont replace power button cause they examine it and passes till the audio dock test! It connects to charder dock or cable but it doest to audio test dock and he says one off the pins inside is not right but it charges perfectly with every cable in the store!! And i tell him that they have to change power button not the charging pin cause it doesnt make sense!! Its a faulty product and maybe if they emailed and said it nearly a year ago my pin was right then!!  so i think they found a silly reason not to change it and so i am struggling with that phone and brand  that i hate(once i used to love)!

    This is a user-to-user technical support forum. This is not AppleCare. You are not addressing Apple here. No one here can help you resolve your customer service issue with Apple. Use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page for information on how to contact Apple directly. When you talk to them, I'd suggest not using profanity. It makes people less likely to help you.

  • SBH52 Power Button Not Working

    Hi,
    I recently bought SBH52; it worked for two months. The power button is not fucntioning at all. I tried holding for 1 min but still nothing happens. I am worring that if the battery drains it will never function anymore therefore I am charging the device to prevent the battery drain. Looking forward to get this resolved. Do I need to claim for the replacement? Please suggest.
    Cheers,
    V

    I had the same issue after about one month and a few days. Power button refused to work.
    Returned it to the store i purchased it from and after 10 days they gave up trying to repair it and gave me a new set as a replacement. I'm covered for a year so i can return it again and get a replacement if it fails again.
    The shop guys did try to blame me and say that i used too much force to press the button.
    I've been using sony bluetooths since 2007. Not new to bluetooth devices by any measure.
    I believe there is a hardware issue with the power switch. Not sure if it's Generic or a particular batch number.
    They never did tell me what the cause was! 

  • Home button not working since os5

    Hi, seems like ever since I upgraded to OS 5 on my Iphone 4 the home button does not work all the time. could it be broken?? i have had the phone 9 months and i do not over use it or abuse it. I actually have another phone for work so I do not even use it during the day. Is it just a coincidence that ths issue started after the upgrade or is there a glitch in the new OS?
    thanks
    MSant

    (3) Don't slide it, release power button.
    (4) Gently, continuously press Home button for few seconds until home screen appears.
    (5) Done.
    If this does not help, further points to Hardware Problem.
