Stuck Sleep Button

I have an Ipod Nano 6th Generation which I bought in Jan last year. Just recently the Sleep button became stuck in the down position.
Typicallly my warrantly elapsed 12 days before the problem!!! I have checked online and it seems like 100's of people are having the same problem (some experiencing it only 2 weeks from new!) which makes me think that this a serious manufacturing fault with all the 6th generation nanos.
When I buy an Ipod, I expect exceptional quality, but £144 for a years worth of use is not exceptable at all.
Can anybody give me any advice on what I should do next, or who I can send this rant to?
Many Thanks

Hardware problems should be handled by authorized Apple service people..  Stuff goes defect all the time, even Apple's after they are heavily in use.
If you are within your first year you might be covered with warranty.

  • My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. What should I do?

    My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it  says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.

    - 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 iPhone 4S on iOS7 is stuck on Apple Logo, and it goes off, then back to Apple Logo again for hours. Pressing home button together with sleep button does not help. Plugging the phone to Mac and restart does not help either. What do I do?

    Have not backed up for months, so prefer not to lose the data.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Click the Update or Restore button that iTunes offers.

  • Why is my sleep button stuck?

    My sleep button all of a sudden stopped working. When I looked at it, it looked like it got stuck. And when I press it, the button won't go down any further. My phone is still covered under warranty. Has this happened to anyone else? Can I fix it myself? How much will it cost to repair?

    If it's still covered under warranty, whay worry about fixing it yourself? Take it in and get it replaced. Unless, of course, you dropped it and there is evidence to that effect, which would explain the stuck button.

  • Anyone know how to fix a stuck sleep/wake button on the IPOD Touch?

    If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
    If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

  • The sleep button on my 4G iPod Touch is stuck?  Any other option besides the genius bar?

    I have a 4th generation iPod Touch.  Everything with my iPod was working well till about a week ago.  A week ago I went to use my sleep button and discovered it wasnt working.  When I removed my case I discovered the sleep button was stuck pressed into the iPod. 
    What I was wondering is if I had any other options?  Is it my best bet to run to the Genius Bar before my warranty goes out in a few weeks?

    I resolved my 3194 error by deleting all the references to apple out of the hosts file.  I am still having major troubles but I was able to resolve this specific error.

  • 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

  • My iPad is completely frozen, stuck on a app, the only button I can click is the sleep button but when I open it back up it goes straight back into the app how can I unfreeze my ipad

    My iPad is completely frozen up, and I don't know what happened, or how to unfreeze it
    I can click the home and sleep button, but the home button does nothing, and the sleep button works but when I touch it again, it goes straight back to the app I was in,
    Can someone please help me?

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
