Sleep power button not working

In KDE system settings I have it configured to put the computer to sleep when the power button is pressed. This used to work perfectly but now it has stopped working. Instead it ignores my preference and shuts down instead.

There is also the fact that functionality is removed. So I did pay attention, read the new man page and still had a question because I wondered if that functionality might be been moved elsewhere rather than removed. It is hard to be certain you've proved a negative and systemd has a lot of different man pages and puts things in a lot of different places.
Of course, it may well be that people also don't pay attention...

IPod Touch Sleep/Power Button Not Working! Help!

I have the new iPod Touch 32 GB and I got it in September. Since yesterday it started lagging with the button: When I push the sleep button to put it to sleep it waits 5-10 seconds and asks me to move the slider to shut down. Its like the button is stuck inside or something. Does anybody else have this problem? What should I do?

I have a 3g iPhone 32gb and this is happening with me as well. Actually, the darned thing freezes all the time (see my reply in the "Unresponsive" discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10981942#10981942).

Power button not working with 7.1 update

Power button not working with 7.1 update

I take it your phone was still under warranty then?!
Unfortunately I was not so lucky, and my experience was rather poor service-wise. They're called Apple Geniuses but I beg to differ...
I'm not sure where in the world you are located, but my "experience" involved visiting the Leeds store and confusing everyone with this issue. I can tell you, just by the looks on their faces, they had never been faced with this problem before!
I suggested my phone was rolled back to the version it was previously to establish whether this was the underlying issue. I was asked whether my phone had been backed up and as it had the "genius" proceeded to restore the phone "as it came out of the factory" to quote him.
When this was completed the phone was still doing the same thing and I was advised "the software update must have highlighted a hardware issue." I was told it would have to be physically repaired and was told to have this done by a third party as Apple would charge approximately £160. Incidentally, I work in IT and repair PC's, laptops and mobile devices for a living and made a point of raising that a sleep/wake button ribbon cable for an iPhone 4S can be bought on eBay for as little as £3.00...if indeed it does need replacing, which I suspect it does not.
Anyway, so now I was left with a phone for the rest of the day which was blank and still the problem remained. On the train, on the way home, you can then imagine my disbelief when I actually took the time to look at my phone's configuration and realised that iOS version 7.1 was still installed, so obviously the issue would still remain. So the visit to the "genius bar" was a complete waste of time as I'm still in the very same position, and I still blame the 7.1 update for this...let's home 7.2 is released very shortly and this solves the issue...
I have downloaded the package to roll the version back to 7.0 but I'm a little reluctant to carry this out yet as I would expect Apple to so the issue they have caused. This is NOT hardware related but software.
I seriously think Android is calling me...

HT1688 Power button not working

Power button not working on iPhone 5

This is a defect on iPhone 5 power button that wears out in about 13-14 months of usage just after you go out of warranty. Apple is aware of this issue but chooses not to accept this as a defect. I asked the Genius bar guy and they told me this is a common case recently and costs $269 to replace your phone. There is no repair option. I am very mad and believe Apple needs to take action or will lose their customers. All iPhone 5 owners that I know started having this problem in the month of 13 -14.
I believe if the numbers go high, Apple may start a recall program. Please encourage anyone with this problem to post here. $700 phone should not wear out this soon. Apparently the part is defective on almost all iPhone 5 devices.

Sleep/Wake button not working, what to do?

Hello, the sleep/wake button not working, do I need to go to apple store even though I don't have insurance for my phone?

How old is the phone? You can go to Check Your Service and Support Coverage to find out where you stand warranty wise.
There is a one year limited warranty, the only way to find out if this repair is covered is to have it checked out. There is no charge in any case for the initial check.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

Power button not working - officejet pro 8600 +

Hi,
I just find this problem today (after 1 year of using my officejet pro 8600+) but maybe, it's normal ....
When the control panel is opened, the light on the power button is off and the power button stops working (not possible tu turn the printer on or off) but when the control panel is closed, the power button works as expected !! is this normal ?? I just find this issue today.
Thanks for any answer,
sincerly,
Domi.

Could you provide a few more details? Do you mean the control panel on your computer? How is the printer connected - Wireless LAN, LAN or USB?
I have never noticed this with mine, but I usually leave the printer on all the time and let the power saving put it to sleep automatically when not in use.

IPod touch 5th gen. Home button stuck and power button not working! Please help!

I have an iPod 5th Generation and the home button is jammed down! It felt sticky earlier but now it's stuck down. I used it when the home button wasn't working and had to use my notifications to change from app to app (as I didn't know about assistive touch). I turned it off, but now the power button is no longer responsive! The button isn't stuck, but it doesn't work anymore. It was working fine before, but now it won't respond. Please help!

Power Button not working on my Zen Mi

Hi, recently bought a Zen Micro 6GB off Ebay, was brand new, not second hand, unit was fine for month or two until now, the power button isnt working at all. So the only way i can turn the unit on is to plug it into my USB port or to use my charger.
Any ideas why it might not be working?
Ive reloaded the latest firmware/bought a new battery/formatted the player (firmware upgrade wiped player) but nothing seems to fix it. Ive not dropped it at all, the problem occured when the player had just been left on a table, no-one had touched it for a day or two and it just decided it didnt wanna work anymore.
I can still use the player but i have to constantly leave it on incase im somewhere without access to a USB port or charger.
Oh yeah and because the power button doesnt work i cant get into the recovery mode (as u know you have to hold the power button on)
So....any ideas whats wrong?
And will i be able to get a replacement from creative...although i bought it off ebay? I know i wont be able to get a refund or anythin off the ebayer coz its not really their problem.
