Sleep button is broken

I recently got my iPod touch used and the sleep button worked fine at first but now it won't do anything and appears to be stuck. Is there any way I can get this fixed since I am not the original owner and don't have the warranty or anything?

By stuck, do you mean that it won't press down, or that it's permanently locked down?

Alternatively, if you're feeling brave or if those results don't help, you can open up your device and see and potentially fix the issue: ifixit.com has some teardown guides that tell you how to open up your device.
Not much help, I know, but hopefully you can get something out of this.

    The only way out of Recovery mode is to connect to iTunes and restore. If you cannot access the computer you normally sync with, you will lose all of your content, unless you sync to iCloud. With no backup present, your content will be lost.

  • How do I restore my ipod 4g when its stuck in the apple logo and the sleep button is broken?

    I really need help! Its stuck in the apple logo and my sleep button is broken. So i cant go into recovery mode.

    Try:

    When it says try recovery mode use one of these programs

    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot

    - 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 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 screen is not resounding and my sleep button is broken

    A few months ago the sleep button on the top of my iPhone 4s stopped workng so I set up a quick button on my screen that I can put it to sleep with. Now my screen is not working, only that quick button is working. Help!

    Help with what?  Your phone is dying.  Bring it and $199 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement before it's completely dead and you lose all your info.

  • IPhone 4 Won't Turn on =[ broken sleep button too

    Hey guys!
    well heres my question/problem. Yesterday I noticed my battery was running low and it gave me the 20% battery warning but i wasnt around a charger so i just put it back into my pocket. after a few minutes i noticed that my phone wouldnt turn on so i assumed that the battery just died, so i went home and charged it over night but still no signs of life the next morning.. I cant do a hard reset because my sleep/wake button is broken =\
    ive tried:
    wall charging
    connecting it to a macbook
    ive even tried pushing down super hard on the sleep button but all i end up with is nothing on the screen and a really red thumb.
    so..any suggestions guys? I also kind of found it funny that my iphone decided to die the day before you could preorder the iphone 5 lol its like apple commands older iphones to die so we buy the new ones spot on.. but my contract isnt up until december so you can understand my dilema =[
    any help would be great guys! happy iphone 5 preorder day btw [=

    The same thing happened to my phone and the sleep button is broken. What did you to do to fix it?

  • Broken sleep button, forever loading state, can't restore through itunes due to my password.

    So I found my old ipod touch, 3rd gen.
    I've neglected it for a long time because of the problem it still has to this day.
    Why I'm trying to fix it now is because I spent $200 on it in the past and it'd make a good gift for my friend who has never owned an ipod.
    Let me get right to the details.
    The current state of the ipod looks like recovery mode, but itunes still won't recognize it because of password protection. There's the little white apple logo in the center of the screen and there's a loading bar underneath it. When it loads up to around 20%-30%, a buffer circle appears and the progress bar is back at zero. I've kept it plugged in overnight to see if it ever fully loads whatever it's trying to load.
    I've also let the battery run dry and then plugged it in, but it goes right back into that forever progress bar state.
    I really don't mind losing data on this ipod and I'm sure the warranty is long gone.
    And Recboot just causes that buffer circle to appear and resets the progress bar.
    Trust me, I did a lot of looking around on how to fix this and nothing really helps. I have a $200 brick on my hands.
    Summary:
    -Sleep button is broken
    -Recboot doesn't seem to do anything
    -itunes denies the ipod because it has a password
    -warranty is expired
    -not jailbroken
    It's probably dead for good, but if you can help bring it back to life I'd appreciate it a lot.
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad (if you can turn off iPad)
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note: Data will be lost

  • IPhone 5 Stuck at Apple Logo + Broken Sleep Button

    Hi, I HATE MY IPHONE NOW!!
    The sleep button is broken for a while and last night I was updating my iOS and when it was restarting it got stuck at the Apple logo. I can't force my iphone to turn off so I can't do the restore steps. What should I do? -thanks

    I can't help with the restore, but in case you aren't already aware, Apple has a replacement program for the iPhone 5 Sleep/Wake button and you may be eligible: https://ssl.apple.com/support/iphone5-sleepwakebutton/

    If not then your sleep button is broken, you will need to get it serviced.

  • Ios 7.1.2 froze my iphone 5, cant reboot as my sleep button does not work! What do i do?

    was updating my ios and then it went to white screen with the apple and loading bar. it loaded only near half way but then froze!
    and i can not reboot it because my sleep button is broken!
    not sure what to do now?

    I had the same issue.  Basically you need to get the phone to reboot. I suspect waiting for the battery to run out would do this, but I didn't want to wait for it.   iTunes would recognize my phone when I plugged it into my PC, though the phone was still locked up during update (black screen with apple symbol and progress bar at around 1/3).  I didn't want to go through the hassle of a full restore so I found a small Windows program called reiboot  that was able to place my phone into recovery mode.  Then it let me take it out of recovery mode, which caused the phone to reboot (i think other programs like tiny umbrella may do the same thing). After a reboot, it showed the update screen for a minute, then started up running 7.1.2 fine.

  • IPod lock/sleep button stuck down.

    The lock / sleep button is broken (stuck down) and my ipod is still under warranty. Will this be covered by warranty?

    Yes unless the iPod has been abused, like dropped.
