Why is my sleep/turn off button not working properly?

I've had my iphone 5 for about 7 months and it's been having all sorts of problems, like the sleep/turn off button is not working like it did when i first got the phone! I have to press the button harder and on the left side for it to work. Is there anything I can do? Does anyone know the cause of it?

my iphone 4 sleep\wake button  doesnot working properly
i have to press it 2 times..in first attempt (sometimes) the screen flickers and go off and i have to press it again to wake it ...
and when it wakes up and i press sleep button it go off and if i press it again it comes with a flicker and works fine
but it does not work properly in first attempt
suggest something and in my country there is no official apple repair store and no apple store ..so that i can take it there and they replace it ...

  • IPhone 5 turn off button not working properly, is it a hardware defect?

    My iPhone 5 (1year and 4 months) has trouble with its turn off button, I've heard of other friends with same issue, is it a hardware defect?

    Things just break. The IPhone buttons are basically a thin plastic sticker with a thin flexible metal lining. The simple sticker slips (slides) out of place just a hair (far less than mm) and the alignment of the metal lining cannot make connection, so button does not function correctly. Things just break.

  • Flash MX - Sound on/off button not working properly.

    I used the tutorial found here. The 3 frames of my button are in a movie clip, within a keyframe in the main timeline. I used the code at the end in the tutorial for the first keyframe, so that the clip begins with music playing. However; I cannot get the buttons to work. I cannot stop the sound. Help please? I desperately need it.

    show the code you used.

    In formcentral, why does the "proceed to checkout" button not work? on IE I get error " This content cannot be displayed in a frame. To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame ". On Chrome I get nothing but loading.

    Hi,
     This error is generally specific to Internet Explorer and has two possible causes. The most likely explanation is that your browser has unusual browser security settings. I would recommend you try
    resetting your security settings to defaults (varies by version but all essentially the same). You may also have to turn off
    Protected Mode which is enabled by default on some systems. If you’re seeing this error (or a version of it) outside Internet Explorer, you may have a server-level setting that is preventing your content from being framed.

  • Where can i exchange my not working iphone bought in Switzerland (on july 12, 2012.) that just turned off and not working since. In croatian store they don't want to give me replacement phone!!!!

    I have bought iphone 4s on July 12, 2012.in Zurich in offical Apple store (Glattzentrum) and after one and a half months it just turned off and not working since. I tried three charges and nothing (it detects that charger is on but it cannot be charged). So now I have a not working phone only two and something months after purchase. But the problem is that in Croatia we have two apple reseller stores and neither don't want to exchange it, although is under warranty!!!! The closest stores are 250 km from Zagreb...Of course I have contacted Apple store in Zurich but they told me to come in Switzerland or to send credit card data for receiving new iphone, the problem is I don't have credit card with 700 euro on it!!!! what to do?? who to call ??? where to get replacment device cause this is disaster???? I wanted to buy ipad but after all this I doubt to do so...I have not working Iphone payed around 700 chf or 800 usd and cannot change it in my country, is it possible for such vast organization like apple that this things can occur????? So much for customer support

    “the EU is considered one country for warranty purposes“
    Not the case at all whilst there are harmonized minimum standards governing guarantees, warrantees remain national as these vary (Add to) minimum legal protection.
    Some how you need to get your phone back to Switzerland.

  • HT5587 Power button to turn off phone not working.... Help!

    Power bottom to turn iPhone off does not work.  Screen will turn off after a bit of no activity, but power off function when pressing does not work.  Any ideas for repair?  Thank you.

    Assuming your warranty has expired you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $149. Or use Google and find a local 3rd party repair site.

  • Wifi sudden disconnection and lock button not working properly on my iphone 4s.......    It is under warranty

    When using wifi on my iphone,sometimes it disconnects automatically...... And my lock button is not working properly.....
    What should i do, my iphone is under warranty....

    The Sleep/Wake button is a hardware issue and that's covered by the warranty. I would take it to the Apple Store and see what they can do.

  • Button not working properly.

    Hi I bought my new HP Envy k112tx its capslock button is not working properly when pressed softly. It has to be pressed hard so that it could work, Its minor.What should i do?.

    if it's not bugging you then you can safely just leave it, there is a small risk of causing damage to the keyboard though. If you contact HP they may be able to replace the keyboard for you unless it's less than 30 days old then you should be able to return it for a replacement unit, you'll still need to contact HP first though cause that's where the retailer will refer you to straight away
    *****I do not work for HP*****

  • Ipad dipped in water and sleep/wake button not working properly?

    My son dipped my ipad 2 in the water bucket for like half a second the ipad,before this ipad was out of battery and was off! i quickly took it out dried all the excess water and even used a blow dryer to dry it,after a quick dry i tried to swtich it on and everything is working okay till now except the wake/sleep button,its not locking the screen or not switching off the ipad. it did turned it on but its not locking the screen or turning off the ipad!
    when i tried reseting it from the general menu in settings it turned off and then the apple logo kept on coming for like 5 seconds and then going away this keeps on happening till i dont keep a hold off the sleep/wake button to switch it on or till the ipad runs out of battery,then if i hold the wake/sleep button to turns it.
    One more problem im facing as soon as the ipad turned.it gives me power off option everytime then iv to cancel it to use my ipad.
    so the main question is my sleep and wake button is turning on my device but not working while its on,what would be the problem and whats the solution?
    p.s. i was tensed about it so i quickly turned it on to check whether its working,i know i shouldnt had turned it on :/
    currently my ipad is off and iv put it under a fan to dry,thinking this might might help but im feeling it wont now its too late:(

    Hello:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    That resets the iPad.  If that does not work, I am afraid it has been damaged by the "water dip."

  • On/off button not working on brand new iPod touch 5th gen

    My daughter has just unboxed a brand new iPod touch 5th gen that arrived today.
    It wouldn't turn on so I assumed the battery was flat which I thought was odd but I plugged it in and it came on - 90% + battery.
    The on/off button does not do anything. We've pressed it, held it - nothing. If I press the on/off and the home button together, Siri starts.
    It will only switch off after a minute has elapsed. We can't do it manually.
    What's going on? Any ideas?

    If you have an Apple store nearby I would make an appointment at their Genius Bar.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Otherwise I would call Apple. You get at least 90 days of free telephone support.

  • E66 On-off button not working

    Hi,
    My on-off button is not working, anyone any ideas on how to fix it?  As i can't get the phone to turn on and i know it has a fully charged battery.
    dave

    well the battery can charge with the phone off....the bar will indicate charging and it will stop charging once its full. there is no other way you can turn on your phone. that is a nokia care trip to get this sorted. sorry mate.
