The lock button on my iPhone 5 has been unresponsive for about a month i've had the phone for about four months

I have had my iPhone 5 for approximately 4 months, about a month ago the lock button became unresponsive not only on the right side but the left as well. Is there anyway to get this fixed without going to an Apple Store?

Possibly not... However...
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
Restart / Reset

Backing up, Updating and Restoring

If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and it has been charging for 12 hours. I have tried holding the home and lock button down but it still has the black screen, what is wrong with it? It just randomly died on means won't turn back on

    My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and I've been charging it for 12 hours and it still won't turn on. I have tried holding the lock button and home button down, even connected it to computer but nothing's happening, it randomly died on me.

    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks,

  • My Lock button on my iphone 5 has stopped working, and I'm not sure what to do.

    My Lock button on my iphone 5 has stopped working, and I'm not sure what to do.

    This will be covered by the 1 year Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. Until then try Settings App > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn iPhone OFF. To turn ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

    It sounds like you’re describing two issues, the first issue is related to the Zoom accessibility feature and the second issue is related to the device being disabled.

    ERGH my iphone 5 has been charging for over 4 hours and will not turn itself on, what do i do?! reply asap please

    Try resetting it while it is connected to power: Hold down the home and sleep button, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons. It is connected to a wall charger?

  • My iPhone 5 has been dead for weeks.. I just now found it and I plugged it in.. How long should it take for it to turn on?

    My iPhone 5 has been dead for weeks.. I just now found it and plugged it in, how long should it take for it to turn on??

    I think that the battery is dead because , if you don't charge it for a long time the battery will ruin. You must wait, with the charger plugged, for a long time to turn it on. it could be also a worse problem and you have to replace your battery

  • Apple denies replacement due to apparant water damage, wetness indicator is white, iphone 5 has been searching for a network for 5 days and its never got wet

    So my iphone is about 5 months old, over the last week it has been searching for a network signal. Yesterday i blew inside the sim tray to as i thought there was something stuckin there (stupid i know) but today apple denied replacement due to water damage. theres no water damage and the wet indicator is white. any advice on what i can do?? as i know it hasnt been submerged in water or exposed to water the phone was broken before i blew in it...the phne works fine its just not picking up a network

    Take it back to the Apple store and ask for an explanation as to why they believe there is water damage.  They should be able to show a water sensor that has been affected.
    If still unhappy with the explanation, ask for a manager.
    IF that does not get a satisfactory resolution, contact Apple customer care.

  • Help! iPhone 4 has been syncing for 12 plus hours after reset.

    Apple did a complete reset of my iphone 4 yesterday, and i went to sync my phone last night and it has been syncing for 12 plus hours? Help?

    For the last 12 hours it has been on step 4 or 4 saying "waiting for tiems to copy" it already copied all 2000 individually. So what is it doing?

  • My lock button on my iphone 4 has broken for the second time.

    Since its my second time breaking it will it be free to replace the phone again? ihave apple care+

    No one here knows.
    Every warranty claim is on a case by case basis. If not determined to be caused by accidental damage or abuse, it should be exchanged under warranty at no cost but only Apple can answer this for certain.

  • My iphones screen has been frozen for 9hours

    my iphones screen is frozen, I cant do anything. (iphone 4S)
    people have told me to hold down the lock and home button at the same time but my lock button is stuck and I am unable to use it.

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store to get the power button fixed.

    Blinking orange will NEVER turn green. You'll have to UN mount it to see green.

  • My power/sleep button on my iPhone 5 has been malfunctioning.

    Only the left side works. Do you guys think Apple would fix it if I have T-Mobile running on it?

    I've had an unresponsive sleep button last year with the iPhone 5 (about 9 months after I bought it outright). Brought it to the Apple store in Sydney and had it replaced for free with no questions asked.
    The Apple genius checked to make sure that there was no water damage and checked the IMEI to make sure it was under warranty. Otherwise it would cost money to have it replaced.

  • My iPhone 4 has been crashing for the past week whenever I open an app, I was just wondering if anyone knew what to do?

    Any app that I open usually crashes within 30 seconds of opening it. Anybody know what to do?

    Try downloading and installing another app. Free, paid for, anything you like. Sometimes doing this knocks something back to normal. Feel free to delete the app if it doesn't work.
