Anyone had issues with on/off sleep button not working anymore?

If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, use virtual Lock Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn OFF iPhone. To turn ON, connect iPhone to power, charger or USB of computer.

Is there an "APPLE STORE" in India or you just went in a reseller store?
There is a replacement program for sleep/wake button for free. Just look for an Apple Store and make a reservation at Genius Bar.
I have an iPhone 5, bought in Dubai U.A.E.
It is a US model (model A1428) which is different of the model use here in Italy/Europe
My serial number is qualified for battery replacement program.
I thought the Apple Store wouldn't repair my phone because I bought it from another country , a different model and it is already out of warranty.
The Apple store's staff just checked if my iPhone's serial number is eligible for the program and he replaced the battery for free today.

Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and pay $75 USD for an out-of-warranty replacement.

Turning Off the iPod - Not Working

I have difficulty turning my ipod off. I press and hold the Play/Pause several times but it didn't work. Until now my iPod still on and it consumes battery. Please help.

I don't know if this is related, but my click-wheel iPod has always been hard to turn off. What I worked out is that I have to use the edge of my fingernail on the play/pause button. Just holding with the end of my finger doesn't work. Sounds strange, but it is consistent.

Sleep button not working at all

I recently got a new iPhone and about 2 days after buying it the sleep button stopped working. I've tried restoring it but no change. It doesn't work at all. Any ideas? Could it just be a hardware problem? It's still under warranty so I'm thinking of taking it back.

Sorry. We can't help you. The iPhone is not user servicable. There are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts.
If you can't figure it out, find a competent repair shop or buy a new phone. Apple won't touch that one.

Iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode, sleep button not working and Apple not helping

Hey Apple Community,
My iPhone 4 has been caused me a lot of frustration in the past week and after getting rejected from Apple Customer Service I did not know where else to turn. Sometime in January my iPhone 4's sleep/wake button stopped responding (it seemed to have gotten stuck) and in my initial call to Apple I was told there was nothing they could do for me even though I was within the 1 year warranty. I figured I could live without locking my phone, it wasn't that big of a deal to me so I simply ignored it.
However, just a few days ago my home button started being less responsive and this was clearly something I could not manage without. It was acting odd, sometimes it would work on the first try and sometimes it wouldn't do anything even after 4-5 tries. The worst part was it would automatically go to voice control even when it was sitting in my pocket. This of course caused me quite a lot of embarrassment since voice control would activate in the middle of my lectures sounding a chime and would dial a random person's number and I would open my phone to hearing someone calling my name. No fun indeed. I called apple about it last week and the nice agent told me that he had waved some sort of a fee to talk to me, I did not know I was required to pay to recieve basic customer support. He also said since I was over the one-year warranty by 7 days and because I do not have an Apple Care plan there was nothing he could do for me besides offering me a refurbished iPhone 4 for $150 as a replacement. I said thanks for the offer but that isn't exactly solving my problem. Since Apple comes out with a new phone every year and being an Apple geek I stay current with the new technology - the Apple care plan just doesn't suit me. I protect my phone in the best of cases and I have never damaged a product due to negligence, I'm not a kid anymore so I don't need to insure my products for my own stupidity.
Well just in the past few hours the demon iPhone went from making random calls to showing me a "Connect to iTunes" logo. I figured it had to be reset due to some software probelm (which meant I might not have to fork out $$$ to get the home button fixed), I gladly connected it to my laptop and now it wont seem to leave recovery mode. I have tried numerous times and it seems to complete recovery and then tell me to connect to itunes again. At this point I feel like I have lost my phone (and everything precious I had stored in it).
Of course as a business professional this is quite a set back. All my contacts, all my pictures and scans of products and documents and even the little notes that I kept on there to help me function - all gone. I haven't called Apple yet but since they were unable to help me before I am assuming there isn't much they can do now. I do not want to pay $29.99 to be able to talk to someone who will tell me I am out of luck. I am about 130 miles from the nearest Apple store so the Genius bar is out of the window. So in a last attempt to salvage this expensive piece of technology I turn to you Apple Community for suggestions. I was not able to find an email address for customer service or any method of communication to someone who could just hear me out and give me a reasonable excuse for why Apple cannot do anything for me. I always heard about the great customer service of Apple but I am surprised to see a product fail before my eyes and the manufacturer simply refusing to accept responsibility; all because I am 7 days too late. If I had dropped it or damage it through some programming experiments then I understand Apple refusing to do anything but this case is very disappointing.
I would sincerely appreciate any advice and apologize for writing a novel here, I wanted to present my case in the fullest of details.

I had the same issue (stuck in "Connect to iTunes" logo mode) and looked around for a resolution. I didn't find an answer posted anywhere. I ended up holding down the power button and the home button for about 20 seconds before it finally came back and said I had to restore it. Once restored, everything is fine.
My problem was caused when I accidentally closed the iTunes window when I was updating the software (I meant to turn off the volume as a song was playing, but clicked on the window close button instead of the pause button). I tried holding both buttons for the recommended 10 seconds several times and it didn't clear the problem. Holding both buttons for a longer period of time did the trick for me.
I hope this post is useful to others.

Re: x505 - "turn off the display" not working correctly

To make a long story short, I was having a boatload of problems with my Toshiba Qosmio X505. I spoke to tech support and they had me reinstall the OS and completely wipe the computer. All has been well for days until today!
For some reason every time my screen turns off (for power saving), I can't get my computer to respond. I don't know if it's sleeping, going into hibernation mode, or even the difference between any of that stuff but when I press buttons, move the mouse/touch pad, try the media keys, the power button, nothing makes my computer come back. I have to hold the power button and completely restard the computer to get back on again.
Why is this happening? It was working fine for days, but I think it has something to do with the last NVIDIA driver update I downloaded. That's the main change I've made to the computer yesterday and now it seems to be doing it. Does anyone have any recommendations? How can I make my computer quit doing this? I have all my black screen options off for now but that doesn't seem like a good solution for this problem it used to work fine.

hi, yes my new Qosmio X500/02G is the same when i set power options so my screen turn off after 10 minutes it will not respond with mouse or keyboard like before.
i bought this laptop as 1 year old, and it had a fresh recovery done when i got it, so only had the nvidia graphic driver from 1 year ago (version 189.00) and the screen will recover ok.
i then install the new 270.00 nvidia driver and now the screen wont recover unless i do a complete shutdown using a hard press of the power button.
looks like i will uninstall this new driver back to old ones.
also i notice when this new driver is installed, the driver will scrash for a few seconds where the screen goes black, and comes back on with message to say the "graphic driver stopped responding and has now recovered" so maybe this is also the reason.
cheers
*EDIT: ok i just revert my laptop back to the original toshiba nvidia drivers and all is ok now, no problem with drivers or wake up the screen.*

IPhone 5 sleep button not working but theres a tiny crack in the corner of the screen, about a quarter of an inch.

I started to notice that my sleep button started to not respond like normal. I would have to push it more and more times for my phone to turn off. Only the left part of the sleep button works. I have read a bunch of forums about this and people have been saying they got the phone exchanged no questions asked. I am wondering, since there is a tiny crack in the corner of the phone, will Apple turn down my phone and make me pay $49.99 since I have Apple Care. The sleep button started to not work before the corner of the screen got cracked. Bad luck I guess. What should I try to do ?

As I mentioned, someone else's personal experience may not be duplicated. It all boils down to what the particular Genius has to say at the date and time that you show up. The worse they can say is they will not replace the phone under warranty and you would be offered an OOW replacement. If you have Apple Care +, it would be a $50 deductible, where the OOW replacement cost for the iPhone 5 in the US is $229.

Why is my sleep button not working

When i try to press the Button on the top of my iphone 4s, i almost have to jam it until it finally connects and turns off my screen... why is it doing this? i havent spilled anything on it...it just randomly stopped responding/working one afternoon.

sounds like a worn out switch in the button

On/off slider button not work

My Zen Micro slider button is not working, has anyone ever experienced this problem or know if the issue can be solved without buying a new unit's Everything works fine as far as functionality (sounds like I am lucky on this part so far) but I cannot even clean up, format or reboot since the slider does not work. In order to turn the player on I have to plug it into my computer or to an outlet and it will come on and I can listen to it. To shut it down I have to wait until it idles to shut down or pull the battery out.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate the response. The next thing I will be doing is looking for a way to disassemble to try to solve it myself.

Hi mate, i've just posted the exact same problem. Have you come up with a solution to it's
I ordered a new battery for my micro but that aint solved it.
Let me know if u got any info, cheers
