The hold button won't work and this morning i cracked the screen!!

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can help me! The hold switch on my ipod nano does not work, or is very slow. It only works if I press down very hard on the hold button. This is of course very frustrating!
However, just this morning I cracked the screen.I know that cracked screens are accidental damage and are therefore not covered by warranty, but the hold button was not working before the screen was cracked- it is just bad luck that this has happened before sending my ipod off to Apple to see if they can resolve the issue.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get the hold-button issue fixed even though the screen is cracked? I am a bit of a disaster area with electrical goods, having cracked the screen of my laptop and of my phone in the past!
Thanks

I believe it is a hardware issue, you have to send it
repairing.
yeah but I won't be able to get the repair done on warranty, will I?

  • IPod nano gen 4 forward button won't work, and the hold switch won't either.  I've tried restoring it and it didn't fix the problem. Any suggestions?

    Restore to factory settings.new iPod if you have not yet already. If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HOLD BUTTON DOESN'T WORK AND IT'S STUCK ON HOLD!!!!!

    I thought I had broken my ipod because I could not turn it on, but then when I plugged it into the charger it turned on. I then realised that the hold button did not work and it was stuck on hold so I could not take it off hold to use it. Does anybody know a way of solving this problem???

    b Does the computer recognize it?
    yes
    No, it does not. That is why iTunes does not recognize it.
    The iPod turns on when you plug it in because it is getting power from the cable. This does not mean the computer recognizes it.

  • Hold button won't work, please help

    Does anyone know y is my ipod nano 8GB always get to pause pisition when i shake it? even i put it on hold, it always stops.

    iPod has a feature that pauses the music when (or at least it thinks) the headphones are pulled out. I find that using cheap headphones from the store (those realllly budget ones) tend to be of low quality and have pausing issues. If you are using the Apple earbuds, maybe something is wrong with them.
    I don't know if that is whats wrong, but thats what I got from experience.

  • Back & forward buttons won't work after going full screen   

    I have a Logitech cordless mouse. When ever I'm watching a
    video, like on You Tube, and I go to full screen, my mouse
    back/forward buttons won't work, and I have to re boot my computer.
    I have tried every thing Logitech told me to do, but still have the
    problem. They think it's a flash player problem. I saw that one
    other person in the forums has the same problem. Any ideas?
    Thanks, Shawn.

    I can't find the preferences section of itunes. where is it because it isn't at the very top of the screen and I didn't see it anywhere else. i hasn't told me that the back-up is corrupted so I don't know about that. I just know that it always comes up with the error message 50 when I try to get the back-up restored to it.

    Sounds like it could be a hardware problem.
    Try a restart or reset to see if that helps. If not, contact Apple Support.
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • What do I do with my iPod Touch 4g when the home button does not work and when I plug it in to charge it always says that charging is not avaible with this accesory?

    Take it to a reputable third-party repair shop. Apple will not touch it after you have opened it up and tinkered with the works.

    My button doesn't work, and I have two scratches on the bottom, and my iPod won't turn on also I have no more warranty

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                           
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:       
    Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    - 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 another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem besides the button and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
