The power button isn't working :(

The power button is loose and I can't get it to turn the ipod. I can get it to work fine if I plug it in first so the problem is just the button.

If it is an iPhone 5 try holding the left side of the button down very hard.  That Power Button Issue which can render the button totally unusable typically goes bad in an uneven way allowing some function in the way I described.  You can use Assistive Touch under Accessibility to power the phone down.

  • How do you turn on the laptop when it shuts itself down and the power button isn't working

    How to I turn the laptop on after it has shut itself off

    If you hold the power button down for 15 to 20 seconds and the machine still will not turn on, you should do one of three things:
    1.  Take it to an Apple Store for an assessment and estimate.
    2.  Take it to an Authorized Apple Service Center for an assessment and estimate.
    3.  Consider purchasing a replacement machine.

  • Z1 freezing when opening basic apps, the power button isn't working either

    Many apps (including basic ones eg. Camera, Contacts) make the phone freeze for a second, then I just get the "not responding"error. When I press the camera icon I just get a black screen. Exporting contacts also makes the phone freeze for a few  seconds. So does Facebook, so does Youtube, so does most of the apps in my phone. I can turn of my phone manually holding the power off key, but if I want to boot it back up I have to do the force restart thingy (when you hold like 2 buttons at the same time) because holding the power key doesn't turn the phone back on. 
    I've tried everything from safe mode to the red button thing, but nothing helps.
    Help please

    Boot the phone in safe mode:

  • So I have an IPhone 5 and the power button isn't working

    I'm still within my one year warranty but the phone has some scratches on the side of the phone and I'm debating sending it in and not getting a repair

    If the iPhone remains under warranty and Apple determines this is a result of manufacturing problem and not caused by accidental damage or abuse, the iPhone will be exchanged under warranty.

  • I have i phone 4 from verizon and the power button is not working

    I have i phone 4 from verizon and the power button isn't working anymore, I bought my i phone  8 months ago.
    What options do I have and what should I do ?

    Hello James,
    The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
    Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks

  • My ipad has a black screen and the power button is not working. Help!

    This is the second time my ipad screen has gone black. The power button is not working. I reset the ipad about two weeks ago  when this happened. However, this time I am not able to get itunes to recognize the device. It keeps asking to respond from the ipad (obviously with a black screen that isn't going to happen). Im not sure what to try next...thoughts?

    Have you tried to give it a reset?
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.

    Hi! I bought my iPhone from USA and the power button doesn't work. I have warranty. I will come to UK soon. I wanna learn; can i benefit my warranty in UK?

    The warranty is not and has never been International.  Warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.  The only exception is for devices sold in the EU where the EU is treated as one country for warranty and support purposes.

  • My iPhone 5 is disabled and the power button doesn't work. How would I fix it?

    My iPhone 5 is disabled and the power button doesn't work. How would I fix it? Please Help

    wait it for your iPhone to die then before it turns it plug it into iTunes while holding the home button and it will force it into recovery mode.
    will be hard to get the timing right cause u will need to wait for the battery to die and charge up again. Other then that just take it to apple and have them replace the device for a fee.

  • I have virgin mobile iphone that i found,the power button doesn't work and the phone is now saying disalbed what can i do to fix it

    I have a virgin moble iphone that i found, the power button doesn't work and the phone is saying disabled,what can i do to fix it?

    Probably nothing, the phone has a high likelihood of being stolen and if you try to Restore it you will run into Activation Lock. Turn it in to the local authorities.

  • My iphone turned off and i can't turn it on. I tried to turn it on with plugging into charger but it doesn't help. And the power button doesn't work.

    My iphone turned off and i can't turn it on. I tried to turn it on with plugging into charger but it doesn't help. the problem is that the power button doesn't work.

    Well, that is going to make it difficult, since the first two steps of user troubleshooting require the use of the power button. I suggest you get that fixed.

  • Is there a way to do a soft reset when the power button does not work?

    After needing to enact my replacement repair warranty, I received a device (smae one and same serial) but the screen had unresponsive spoots, and dim spots, I decided to turn right around and send it back again.  I got a replaced screen again, but this time my power button doesn't work.  Now, this isn't too inconvenient for me except that I cant do a soft reset or power off/on in order to clear the cobwebs from time to time.  Does anyone know of an app, or another way to do this?  I'm simply afraaid of what iddues it may come back with if I send it in a 4th time.
    So, App?
    Or, maybe a special keybaord combo I can put in like on phones? (IE  ##XXXXX#

    To remove the Restrictions passcode, you need to restore the phone as a new device using iTunes. Hit the "Restore" button on the Summary Pane.

  • How can i restart my phone if the power button is not working?

    My power button is not working and my phone freezes every now and them. I read I should restart it. Is there another way to restart it without using the power button?
    Also, I use the on-screen assistance icon but it does not have a power off option.

    That's correct.  Because how would you turn it back on again if the screen was off and your power button was on the screen?
    Yo need to fix the button, or try letting the iPhone die out completely, then connect it to power and after it's charged for a while, see what happens when you press the Home button.

  • I have an iPhone 5. I got it just over a year ago and the power button recently quit working. Since ive had it for over a year, can i take it in and have it replaced or fixed?

    I got my iPhone 5 a little over a year ago, and my power button recently quit working. Since ive had it for over a year, can i still get it fixed or replaced?

    Wow that is so unlucky. If I was you I would try talking to someone at the Apple Store, explain your situation and don't be shy to shed a tear or too. Its just a shame 3 weeks after your phone getting hardware problems. I know people will say, oh buy Apple Care but I feel ya and I know adding that extra money in the beginning feels pointless and expensive.
    Worst case scenarion like I said you will have to pay Apple 269 for them to swap phones. Or if you have any nerd friends have them fix it for you. Its a tedious repair the way the power button has some weird hinge that needs to snap on and ribbons are so thin. I do not advise for you to attempt to fix your self unless you don't care if you break it completely.
    Alternatively you could just turn on Assisitive touch on accessibility and use that. That way you wont need to pay anything to fix your phone and wont need to take it apart either.
