Where can i repair my iphone 5 lock/power button?

I have a problem with my iphone 5 lock/power button, it works randomly, but the main issue is that my carrier won't agree to repair/replace it under warranty since it has some minor scratches in the sides.
Here (at mexico) we do not have apple stores so I can't take it there, also apple refuses to take it under warranty because the iphone was purchased directly with the carrier. Any suggestions on how can i solve this issue?
I think it kinda lame to have the year long warranty just to realize you cant make it valid here at mexico under some dumb technicallity.

Until you sort out the "dumb technicallity". Use Assistive Touch for perfect Virtual Lock Button. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock. This can even be used to turn iPhone OFF. To turn ON connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

  • HT1391 Where can i report my iPhone lost to Apple? and Can Apple lock it?

    Where can i report my iPhone lost to Apple? and Can Apple lock it?

    If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked and locked, though it depends on a number of factors: the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored. Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. If you did not set up Find My iPhone, check with your cell carrier. Some carriers offer their own tracking service, though you usually have to sign up when you still have the phone and have to pay for the service. 
    If your carrier does not offer such a service and you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track the unit nor lock it, though if you set a screenlock passcode, it would be locked already. Notify the police and your cell carrier, and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • IPhone 5 unresponsive lock/power button

    Hey, I purchased my 16gb iPhone 5 on launch day, however within the last month or two I have had nothing but trouble with the lock/power button. In order to use the button i have to press the lock button roughly ten times in one are before it will actually lock my iPhone. I cannot lock my phone a majority of the time, take screen shots, once my phone crashed and switched itself off i couldnt get the phone back on for a good wee while, resetting the phone without itunes has been a huge issue too.
    I have factory reset the phone through itunes and continued to search for numerous solutions, nothing seems to work. I stay pretty far out from an Apple store and have tried contacting apple via phone though they just told me to reset ect and when i told them that wasnt working the guy highiligted there was nothing more the company could do for me. I love apple and the quality most of their products have, I do however feel rather let down by my iPhone five as i have had other issues with it too.
    Can anybody reccomend anything else to try if they have had the same issue?? or if you have gone to an apple store have they been able to replace it?? its a pretty pricey journey to make for no solution to be offered.

    I have this problem by myself and a collegue also.
    Okay Apple will change the phone. Here in Germany we can change the product 3 times and as i see and hear it the power button problem is a big one, and because even on low usage time the problem appears. What if i changed the iPhone 5 already 3 times and the 3rd one has the same problems? i want a working iPhone 5.
    @rebecca_tait Did you change the iPhone already? If yes, does the new iPhone 5 have a better Power Button?

  • My iphone 4 screen turns into blue, and i can't do anything because my power button is broken. How to fix my iphone back? Please help me

    my iphone 4 screen turns into blue, and i can't do anything because my power button is broken. How to fix my iphone back? Please help me

    I am having the SAME exact problem! Except instead of lock button broken it's my home button so I can't do the whole "put in recovery mode" deal. My screen only says "tap the home button 3 times" and it has my screen locked until I hit the home button but since it is broken I can't get in my phone at all. I have all of my work info in my phone so I'm screwed and can't get any help. PLEASE let me know if you find a way around this...!!!
    Thanks!

  • My iphone 4s power button is stuck. Is there any chance that it can be fix?

    My iphone 4s power button is stuck. is there any chance that it can be fix?

    This will be covered for free under Apple Warranty. Until you do this, a software workaround is a Virtual Lock Button in Assistive Touch on iPhone. Tap Settings App>General>Accessibility>Assitive Touch>ON>Tap new Virtual White Screen Button>tap Device> tap Lock Screen. If you hold down on the Lock Screen Icon it will give you the "slide to power off". To turn iPhone ON, connect to Power Source with USB Cable, via Charger or Computer USB Port.

  • Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    It may not be the same molded plug but I would think any normal 3-prong computer power cable should work.
    How about this one?
    922-6529 Power Cord - Apple Cinema Display
    I've always had the theory that if you put two computer power cords in a drawer they will breed and you'll end up with a lot more!   My parts drawer is always full of them.  They like to knot up by themselves as well!  Maybe that's how they breed.

    So where can I get an iPhone 4/4S for sale to use without the contract? Anyone?

    Thank you for letting me know!  That is a GREAT deal!  I would buy that if I hadn't already spent my $335 I did earlier at the end of November.  I found a good deal for a new white iTouch 4 64GB which is an iPhone 4 without the contract only it was in the color I wanted and the biggest capacity of the new line of iPhones. But thank you anyways! Like i said if I hadn't already bought mine I would probably do that one.
