Power/lock button not working, function moved to volume up

I just had my phone revived after water damage (so I'm half part on taking it to SCS because i read that the warranty will be voided if the LDI has changed its colors). Now everything is working except for the backlight flickering when auto light adjust is on especially when the backlight is low. And the other one which is serious.   The power button is not functioning at all. And I discovered that when pressing the volume up, the volume would increase but after a very very short delay, the turn off/airplane mode selections would appear which would only appear when the power button would be long pressed right? And when the screen has gone to sleep, the volume up would also unsleep the screen.
The worst part. I can't let my phone dead battery, cause it automatically turns on and the hard reset button on the sim slot has no effect on it. But the power+volume up combo trick works, but the thing is, you only need to click the volume up for this to happen. Is there any quick or permanent fix for this before I go to the SCS, I'm afraid they will void the warranty of my phone and pay for a fix price cause I don't have the money.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
To me, it sounds more related to a hardware issue. Thereby, it's nothing that you can do on your own. I suggest that you visit nearest service center to have your phone examined by a technician. You can contact your local support team for further information about nearest service center and/or how to proceed with this in the best possible way:

  • Lock button not working for iPhone4

    Hi All,
    My lock button not working from last 2months, I am using assistive touch for time being.
    I bought my mobile in UK 1year back, currently i am staying in India.
    My real problem is, recently i visited apple store. The guys in the store are saying, it is against to their law to serve or repair mobiles which were bought in other country..
    I think this is rediculous.. Just i need some information how to fix it or how to contact the correct person regarding this POOR service.
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    No. The warranty is only valid in the country of purchase. All service for iPhones in UAE is provided by the supported carriers. You can find a list here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
    If you did not purchase it from one of the carriers listed, then you probably purchased an illegally imported gray market phone.
    Check Settings>General>About. What does it say for Model #?

    Those are hardware issues. You can try all of the software troubleshooting if you want. Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If that does not work, then your only option is to pay someone for something. The decision is up to you, but I've provided the options.

  • IPhone 5 lock button not working at all. If I'm in the one year warranty still but don't have apple care will I have to pay to get it fixed or will it be covered

    I have a iPhone 5 and about a month ago my lock button stopped working. It takes me about ten tries to power it back on or to lock it. If I'm still in my one year warranty will I have to pay to get it fixed? I didn't purchase apple care though so I'm wondering if it's going to cost me to get it fixed or if it's still covered because of the one year warranty? Thank you!

    If it's due to a manufacturing defect, the warranty will cover it. If it's due to accidental damage, it'll cost to get it fixed unless it happened during an authorized repair.

  • Lock button not working + still have warranty. What do I have to do?

    Hello!
    Yesterday my lock button stopped working. I still have my warranty but the problem is I live in Belgium and there is no Apple Store there. Is there any way I can get my phone repaired without having to go abroad? I'm now using Assistive Touch but it just doesn't feel the way it should...
    Greetings & thanks!

    To get any iOS device repaired much be done so in country of where th device was purchased. So if where you live is where you purchased the device then contact Apple Support whcih is given for your area of livinging.
    If the iOS device was not purchased where you live, then willl need to figure out how to go about getting to where the iOS device was purchased to get repair done for it.

  • IPhone home and lock buttons not working at all?

    I got my iPhone 4 in October 2010. Since then I have accidentally dropped it on the floor and the back cracked, and in April 2011 I accidentally dropped it in a tub of paint. A bit silly, I know, but I managed to get all of the paint off quite easily and it was fine. However, at the end of last year, the home button started to malfunction and get stuck and just generally not work. In the past few weeks I've noticed I get trouble with it at least once a day and have to sit and press it until it works. Then, today, just out of nowhere, the lock/power button at the top of my phone just stopped working, it's stuck. I don't really have a way to wake my phone now unless I press the home button until it works, and I can't lock it anymore. I don't know whether it would be anything to do with the paint, considering it happened a year ago.  Is there anything I can do to get it working again or do I need to take it to Apple?
    Thank you very much.

    Ok this Might work
    1- Try rubbing your home button with alchohol ( or perfume ) in a circular motion for about 20 seconds
    2 - do the same to ur power button ( from left to right and repeat ) for about the same duration
    3- press and hold both your power and home button at the same time ..
    ... If this doesnt work try it one more time
    If it doesnt respond after the second time i'm afraid u'll have to take it to an apple care center :(
    Wish u luck

  • Ipad 2 lock button not working after screen replacement

    I replaced the screen of Ipad2. Afterward, the power button is only working when I turn it on or off, but did not work for locking the screen neither with assistive touch. And another issue is when the divece is rebooted, after the apple logo desepears normally we can see the start screen, but in this case the screen stays black after the apple logo desepears untill I pushed the home button. (IOS 7.1.2)
    Please advise, thanks

    If you replaced the screen through a 3rd party or yourself, you have void all warranty and support.
    If it's a 3rd party or Apple, bring it back.

  • Loudspeaker and Lock Button not working? Will Apple replace my phone with a new one?

    My loudspeaker hasn't been working for a few weeks now, and recently the lock button has stopped working too.
    I've never dropped my phone in water etc. for the loudspeaker to stop working, and the lock button suddenly just did not work anymore - jammed in?
    I booked an appointment with the Apple Genuis Bar, will they likely repair my phone or give me a refurbished one?
    Cheers.

    Apple will not repair this iPhone, you will get a perfect replacement iPhone 4S exactly like yours, except it will function perfectly.

  • Power on button not working on Compaq CQ57-229 WM Notebook after shut down

    My Compaq Presario CQ57-229WM Notebook PC power on/off button is not working properly.  When I shut down computer, the power light stays on.  I have to remove the battery to get the power light to turn off, then it turns back on and i can restart computer.  If i have the battery removed, and just plugged into power strip, i have to remove the power cord to get the light to turn off then to turn back on to restart computer.  the operating system iw Windows Hoem 7-64 bit.

    So you are turning it off with the hardware on-off switch? Go into power options in the control panel and click "choose what the power button does"...what does it say? Generally you want to turn it off with software and by that I mean the Windows key on the keyboard then choose shut down from the popup menu. You may have it set to sleep or  hibernate when you hit the power button.
