Power button on open box iPhone 5 not working

So I got my iphone 5 in april of 2013.I purchased an open box from best buy. I accidently dropped it in july on the top left corner the opposite side of the power button. Although recently I have been experiencing diffuculties with my power button. Over the past 2 weeks it has completly stopped working. another peoblem i am experiencing is troubbles charging it will only charge from one side of any charger. I am wondering if i go to the apple store if they will replace it or blame it on my fault because I dropped it. i read other posts that stated that they proved water damage im worried that they will not give me a new or referbished one and I will have to live with a broken power button for the next 2.5 years of my contract. Will they replace it or will they not take it back because of the open box and the dent?

It sounds like whenever you dropped it, something rattled the parts inside of the iPhone.
With power buttons, Apple typically replaces those under warranty but if you have accidental damage, you would have to pay for it regradless of warranty.

  • HT5587 Power button to turn off phone not working.... Help!

    Power bottom to turn iPhone off does not work.  Screen will turn off after a bit of no activity, but power off function when pressing does not work.  Any ideas for repair?  Thank you.

    Assuming your warranty has expired you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $149. Or use Google and find a local 3rd party repair site.

    Thanks.  I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
    Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
    Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
    Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
    It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
    Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data.  Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
    Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

  • The power button on my nano6 is not working. What should I do?

    My nano works fine when it is plugged into my computer but when it's not I can't get it to turn on. It's like the button is broken/disconnected.

    Hello courtPG
    If the button is not working, then you may want to look at getting service on it as it is something that cannot be fixed easily. Check out the article below for all information on setting that up and any other questions that go along with it.

  • HT2188 Power button on iPhone not working

    My power button is depressed and will not pop back up all the way, don't know why. I can use it if I press down really hard on it, very inconvenient.  Any  suggestions? 

    Contact an Authorized Apple Service Provider.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals.  Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

  • How may I get my Ipad 2 to power on? I have tried the two button approach and it did not work.

    My Ipad 2 will not power on. I have tried the two button approach but it did not work. Until last evening, the Ipad was working very well. After it entered the sleep mode, it would not come back on. What can I do?

    The first thing to suspect is a completely drained battery. When this happens the iPad shuts down and will not turn on. Even if you charge the iPad it may take more than 30 minutes before it responds. Plug the iPad into the charger that came with it and plug the charger into a known good wall outlet. Do not charge the iPad by connecting it to a computer. Wait 30 minutes. Then reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
    If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is at 100%. If the iPad does not restart consider making an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • HT201401 Hi.. My Iphone acts as if it is dead. Tried a lot with Sleep +home buttons as well, but did not worked. When it is plugged in, keeps on charging with a regular beep. Please advise.

    Hi.. My Iphone acts as if it is dead. Tried a lot with Sleep +home buttons as well, but did not worked. When it is plugged in, keeps on charging with a regular beep. Please advise.

    Yes, I understand that. But The screen issue is not a result of user damage. The phone was not dropped when the screen got cracked. My daughter was standing in a chair at the table and dropped one of her toys onto the bottom of the phone and cracked it right by the home button. (Nowhere near the LCD/digitizer flex cables, connections, or logic board components) then a few months later my phone had died, I plugged it in, it showed it was charging, then Apple logo disappeared and screen didn't work. AFTER contacting Apple about the issue and them telling me that it "is a result of the very minimal crack to the sheet of glass that has no relation to the LCD or Digitizer and that the warranty does not cover it I had taken it upon myself to change the LCD/digitizer to no avail, as well as backlight ic and backlight coil to no avail. But how do I go about letting Apple know that it is in fact NOT due to the cracked screen nor is it due to the flex cable connections? I can't. So the lady that works the call center phones  trying to "convince" me that she knows what she is talking about and "convince" me that it is from the cracked screen I have to take her word because I can't show Apple that its not because of that without paying them $199 to fix the screen in which case they will just send me a new phone rather than fix the faulty hardware under warranty.

    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug

  • None of the buttons on my Torch will not work - phone inoperable

    The buttons on my Torch will not work...I can receive calls but can't answer them. I cannot do anything with the phone...it is fully charged - HELP! I am traveling and this is now critical!

    I don't have a 9800 here to test, but if you keep the keyboard closed, isn't there a onscreen enter key?
    Normally the buttons not workng is indicative of moisture issues. It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
    Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out. It really is more common than you think.
    1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
    2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
    4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
    Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
    *Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
    *On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
    *On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day
