Power Button on iPad 2 Quit Working

The power button on my iPad 2 that I got two weeks ago and have upgraded to 4.3.5 doesn't work. I've restored the system and that didn't help. Is this a known issue?

I experienced the same problem with my Ipad 2. I fixed the problem by slapping the screen, hard, several times,in the general area of the power/volume buttons with the palm of my hand. All fixed.
Both the power button and the volume up button on my 'Pad2 failed. I ended up on this forum for advice on how to resolve.
Several posters in this community have suggested rebooting the ipad by holding down both home and power buttons, but this is not practical advice, since, again, the power button is inoperable.
Next I followed Apple's online troubleshooting procedures by backing up, restoring and resetting my Ipad. No luck.
After that I ran Apple's remote diagnostics, which concluded I needed to send my 'pad in for service. Since my 'pad is a month beyond Apple's 12 month service life for this device, I was quoted $256 for repair.
Finally, and concluding tis was in fact a mechanical failure, I ended up beating the thing Fonzi-style. I recommend this procedure to anyone with similar symptoms.

Power button on iPad 1 not working

Our iPad isn't even a year old and the power button is not working. When you press it...NOTHING happens.
We have done a hard reset, soft reset...everything we can think of and it's still not working.
Any advice???

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.

The message function on my Ipad just quit working. I was using it while in Mexico and it just quit. I have come home and synced my Ipad with Itunes and function still does not work. How do I get this function to work again?

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

My ipad just quit working.

My ipad glitched and just quit working and will not turn on now. Even if I hold down on/off+home buttons together. Any ideas?

Whoa !!
Try:
1) Restart: To restart (reboot) Press and Hold the Home and Power buttons until the Apple Logo appears, about 10 seconds.
2) If that doesn't fix it, with the iPad connected to the computer, try a restore from within itunes on the sync computer.
3) If that still doesn't fix it, and you are near an apple store, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and see if they can get it going for you.

Why has my home button on my Iphone4 quit working?

I am trying to find out why my home button on my Iphone 4g has suddenly quit working. Can anyone help me try to solve this problem?

No one here can answer this question for certain.
Could be hardware failure or a software problem.
If no change after the standard troubleshooting steps which in order are:
Power your iPhone off and on.
An iPhone reset.
Restore your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
Restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
If no change after the last step, your iPhone has a hardware problem.

My Wi-Fi on my iPad suddenly quit working

It works on my MacBook. I have tried Resetting and turning off the iPad. Nothing works.

- Power off and then back on your router.
- What do yoo mean by:
" I reset the box and thru itunes"
- Have you reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Mid 2011 Macbook Air - Yosemite keyboard and trackpad stopped working, the only button that worked was the power button, only one USB port works.

I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
Upgraded to Yosemite last week.
Three days ago I was using my Macbook Air for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite. I had been using my Macbook Air for approximately 30 minutes, I was using safari and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working (would not respond). The only button that worked was the power button.
I rebooted and they were still not working. I plugged in a USB mouse and external USB keyboard, only one USB port would work (the Left USB port if looking at the screen) so I had to swap between keyboard and mouse.
After logging in there is a bluetooth icon at the top of the screen with a sawtooth line through it. Bluetooth is unavailable and the bluetooth icon is missing from the system preferences menu.
If I run a hardware test by holding D (on USB keyboard) at startup it says that no problems are found and at the conclusion of the test the keyboard and trackpad start working again. When I log on the bluetooth is working again.
I shut down the Macbook Air and when I started it again the keyboard and trackpad and right side USB ports were all not working again. I logged in using the USB keyboard and mouse and the bluetooth not available sawtooth icon had returned.
I ran the hardware test again and at the conclusion of the test the trackpad and keyboard started working again.
I have tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile from /Library/Preferences/ and tried resetting SMC and Power Functions but this did not fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is running a hardware test - obviously I don't want to do this every time I use the computer.
I do not believe any hardware is faulty/damaged - I think it has something to do with bluetooth/Yosemite.
I do not have the Macbook with me at the moment, if you have suggestions that I can try or additional checks/info you require please let me know and I can get back to you.
Thanks,
John

Hi!
I have exactly the same problem, and I can't find any solution.
I can't even track down the root of the problem: the Bluetooth/Wifi module? The trackpad? The keyboard/top case? The logicboard?
I've tried all the usual: SMC/PRAM reset, clean install, kext cache clearing.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

I dropped my IPhone 6 plus in water and now the power button does not want to work

So i had the Iphone 6 Plus in my hand when it feel into a big puddle and it was in there for more than a minute so i come home and i find out that the power button (on the right hand side button) doesn't want to work like its on and im on the home page and then i press the button and nope nothing and the volume button somewhat works and sometimes the power button works so i turn it off and i put it in the rice next thing you know the phone turns on again without me touching it or anything. So I need help and the phone is new not even a month i have had it and i don't want to spend money on it. Please help! This phone is my life and i will do anything(that does not wast money) to save my phone.

You can try leaving it in that bag of rice for 5-7 days to see if it will dry, however if it will not stay turned off, I would say that something is shorted out. You will need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service provider and be ready to pay for an out of warranty replacement. If you purchased Apple Care Plus there is only a deductible, but without it, you will have to pay the price of an out of warranty phone. User damage is not covered under warranty.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

The green button that shrinks Firefox quit working--I reinstalled & still not working

The green button that shrinks and restores the size of Firefox quit working--after it had been working for some time. I went thru the troubleshooting steps and reinstalled Firefox and it still does not work. The individual windows will shrink and enlarge but not Firefox. The orange button to minimize it works as does the red button to shut it. How can I fix it?

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox and will not lose bookmarks and history. Please follow these steps:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Power button orange light doesn't work after BIOS update on MSI 2A9C

Hi,
I have updated my system BIOS (downloaded from HP web site), the computer works I can enter into BIOS setting.
PC: HP Pavillion p6716it-m
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Old BIOS version: 6.16
Mainboard: MSI 2A9C (from CPU-Z)
Data from new BIOS main page:
BIOS revision: 6.18 01/05/12
Core version: 08.00.15
When I put the computer into sleep mode with the old BIOS the power button became orange, now with the new BIOS it is off. In the BIOS setting I have noticed that if I go to: "main -> SYSTEM IDs" the renderig stage is not perfect, at regular intervals some strange artifacts has shown. It seems like when you draw on a window some GUI components without using double buffering.
After update I realized that the new BIOS in the HP web site is for mainboard: MS-7613. It is equivalent to mine? Thanks.

Photosmart C4180 All-in-One. While printing it stopped and the power button is orange. Nothing works

Hi, I have a Photosmart C4180 All-in-One. So far it worked perfectly.
Tonight I had to print a few pages and right in the middle of it, it stopped leaving the page halfway.
Also the on/off button stays orange and there is an exclamation point underneath it.
I removed the page and turned off the power by removing the plug (pressing the on/off button didn't work).
While putting the plug back in, the power came on again... but the on/off button remains orange. Nothing works.
Does anybody recognize this problem and/or does anybody have a solution for this?
Thank you,
Dutchfox

Hi , I understand that you are having issues printing and scanning. I would be happy to help you.
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.HP Photosmart (D110), Photosmart Wireless (B110), and Photosmart Ink Advantage (K510) e-All-in-One Printer Series - Printing a Network Configuration Page. Check to see if you still have a valid IPv4 address. If you have a valid IPv4 address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IPv4 address into your web browser's address bar. (Safari)Did it load the web page? If you were able to access the printer's Embedded Web Server, please try the following steps: Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:Close all applications.On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.Double-click Disk Utility.Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions. Restart the computer.. Reset the Printing System: Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol. Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.Click Printers & Scanners.Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.Click OK to confirm the reset.Type the correct Name and Password.Click OK to reset the printing system.Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know. Thank You.
