Sleep button is stuck won't press down

My power/sleep/screen lock button on the top of my iphone 4 won't work unless I push down REALLY hard on it! It no longer has that springy clicky push to it anymore, it kind of just lays there and looks like it has sunk in a bit I have no idea why it would be doing this because my phone is well taken care of. I have a front and back screen protector on it and it has always been in a case and has never been dropped or exposed to water.

I have only had the phone since August of 2012

  • IPhone 4 home button stuck in the pressed down position

    I'm on vacation and my iPhone's home button is stuck in the depressed position. There's pretty high humidity here, higher than back at home. How do I get it unstuck so I can use my phone again?

    Your decription of the problem is not clear. Is the Home Button physically pushed down, ie partly under the front screen glass? Or is the Home Button in normal position but seems to be electronically firing off presses on its own?
    You seem to be hinting at Liquid Damage (humidity). Keep your iPhone safe and dry.

  • Having the top( ) Volume stuck in the press down position would that effect the phone ringer not to work.

    My ringer was working fine from one day to another it stopped working, looking at the phone I looked at all the setting , the little switch on top was not showing the line, but I did notice the top volume button was stuck in the down position. Would this effect the ringer not to work. I can listen to videos, music and streaming videos on the internet without any issues. What you think

    *UPDATE*
    I have been able to use the Zoom function to zoom in and the keys on the top row no longer are in the non-responsive strip of area.

  • My Iphone 4 went black and will not turn back on and my sleep button is stuck

    I have had two Iphone 4 phones and they both have randomly gone black and not come back on. On my current phone my sleep button is jammed so any advice i have seen from people doesnt work for me. I am in the middle of planning a wedding and need help desperately

    Charge with the mains charger for 15 minutes, then disconnect and hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • My 4th generation ipod touch's sleep button is stuck

    I've had this iPod touch for two years now and just recently I tried unlocking my iPod from its sleep and the button would not click. When I unlocked it, I couldnt get it to go to sleep and I had to resort to using AssistiveTouch. I don't know wha happened to my Ipod, but I am very sad about it. I dont think there's any gunk that is keeping it stuck. What should I do?

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

  • My lock/sleep button is stuck and my screen is all white. What do i do?

    my button has beem stuck for a while and the people who works at the apple store said that they cant do anything about it and that was two months ago. Now my screen just frozed then turned white when i was using a app. so what do i do now ?

    No. And neither will Verizon. You should be syncing it with, and backing it up to your computer and/or a compatible cloud service like iCloud.
    Backing up your data is your responsibility.

  • My Menu botton is stuck i wont press down i tried resetting it by toggleing the hold botton and pressing and hold the center and menu botton.  I also tried cleaning it. Can i fix it? If not how would it cost to fix it? where should i go?

     

    Although it's likely to be a hardware problem that can't be fixed without replacing the faulty part, you can try doing a Restore in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary tab (in iTunes when you select the iPod).
    This will erase the iPod's storage, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.  If there was some type of data corruption on the iPod's storage that affected the iPod's software, doing a Restore may fix the problem.
    NOTE:  As stated above, doing a Restore will erase the content of the iPod.  That's not a problem if everything on the iPod is backed up in your computer's iTunes library, because you can just re-sync it after the Restore.

  • IPhone lock/sleep button is stuck/jammed...

    I was wondering... My warranty is expired by about 5 months o my iPhone 4, would Apple replace it? If not, any fixes?

    Of course they'll replace it.  But you will most likely need to pay the out of warranty exchange fee, which in the US is $149.00.
    Another option is to google and find a 3rd party iPhone repair shop near you, since your warranty is expired anyway.
