Stuck on apple logo, lock button does not work

Hi, I was wondering if someone can help me.
I have an iPhone 5, and I intend to restore it in order to sell, but every time I try to turn it on, the battery life is low and in the red, and then it is stuck on the Apple logo for ages. My lock button does not work either so I can't actually turn it on properly, or do anything. I leave it plugged in the charger for hours, and it's still stuck on the Apple logo. And when I unplug and let it sit until it dies again, the process repeats...
What is happening? What can I do?

You can have it repaired or look up a guide and repair it yourself. The lock button needs to be replaced. It is essential at least for performing resets, like the one your phone needs right now. There may be an issue with the battery as well. I would not purchase an iPhone that did not have all its buttons working properly. The iPhone may not be draining enough to completely reset. Draining the battery this much might damage the battery as well. You probably need to do a reset by holding down the home button and a properly working lock button.

Power/lock button does not work. I cannot lock my phone, shut it off or reset it. iPhone5s

My power/lock button does not work. I am unable to lock, power-off or reset my phone and am unsure of how to rectify this problem when that button isn't working.

Same here. 64gb iPhone 5s just arrived today. Feels fine but either doesn't respond or *severely* delayed response. Like minutes later... Going for replacement.

How can you restart or turn off your iPhone if the lock button does not work?

The best way is to let the battery die. Or you can reset the phone settings which restarts everything.

Lock button does not work

lock button does not work

My partner AND my Lumia 900's Lock Screen have ceased to function as well. I even went as far as doing a "master reset" and it did nothing but lose all my pix and info (Thank God for SkyDrive!) I have a real security concern now, and I cannot leave my phone ANYWHERE unattended at ANY TIME as there is no safeguard to "lock the screen to prevent unauthorized use". I've brought this to both Nokia's and AT&T's attention, but, as usual, it's fallen on deaf ears. This and a "couple other antics" (volume is wacky now as well, both phone conversations and listening to music: BEFORE the 7.8 update, everything worked just fine, now the volume will NOT go over "10" on a scale of "30" for a phone conversation, and will not exceed "17" in volume on a scale of 3"30" when listening to music. When a voice message comes in, the volume is SO low that I actually have to place to phone over my ear canal to hear it.......

HT5824 i can not trun off my phone because my lock button does not work

i can no trun off my phone because my lock button does not work

Welcome to the Apple Community Shakoya.
Go to settings > general > accessibility > assistive touch > on. This will place a faint icon on the screen, this is then available from any screen and you can turn the phone off by tapping it, tapping device and then tapping lock screen.
This should suffice until you can have your phone fixed.

My iphone lock button does not work and it randomly shut off. i need help!

the lock button has not been working.. i was using my phone, put it down for like 30 seconds and wont turn back on!

Are you using a case to protect the iPhone? If you are try taking it off and seeing if the button works normally then.
If you don't have a case on the iPhone, try restarting or restoring the iPhone.
If that doesn't take care of it, the iPhone will need service.

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.

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.

I cannot tell you how frustrated I am with Apple right now! I need hel getting my ipad back and so far I am not getting any. What do I do when restore on itunes does not work?

I am so frustrated with Apple and my ipad2, which I have allways loved so much. While attempting to download and install the latest update, I got stuck on the itunes connect logo. I followed the directions listed here to restore using itunes on my laptop. It would not work and gave me several error messages. Now what do I do? I miss my little computer so much.

Reading some older threads from 2012 and 2011 it appears the problem was present even then. Part of the problem was due to people using multiple or different account id's on the various devices. In my case, I only have one ID and it is the same on all devices yet the iPhone and iPad are still throwing the same error when I try turning on iTunes Match. This is very frustrating . . . any help out there? Thanks.
