IPhone 4S power button stuck? - 1

I have had my iphone 4s since August last year and no problem until yesterday when I saw my iphone 4s power button at the top of the phone had sunk in and is getting really difficult to press.

Has this happened to anyone else? I have looked online that people have been taking the backs off their phone and replacting the insides but I want to know if there's anything easier to do before doing this? As its over a year old I doubt they will replace it. And want it to be working again!

Replace to button

Its a known fault.
I have had four so far with the same issue.
There's a cheap spring inside that breaks.
The phone will need to be dismantled and a new spring put in. If you have a local repair shop, take it in.

Take it to the nearest shop and replace the button.

  • Power button on my iphone 4 is stuck. How can I turn it on? So the power button broke a while back and I've just left it on, but I found it turned off on my bed earlier. How can I turn it on? Warranty is over so give me anything. (Plugging it in gets no response)
  • Power button on iPhone 4s stuck down? My iPhone power button is suddenly stuck in the down position and I can barely even get it to work even when pressing down really hard. It is a Verizon phone, I've only had it for 6 months and i have insurance on it. If I take it to Verizon will they just replace it if they can't fix it or will they tell me to take it to an apple store?
  • My iPhone power button is stuck and I have a full year warranty? Ok, so my iPhones power button has been stuck for awhile now and need to get a new one I still have my warranty but can't find the paper with all my contract stuff the day I got my iPhone can he look at like a serial number or something on my phone that shows I still have my warranty?
  • My iphone power button got stuck and a day later it died completely? The button was a little sticky and could still work, but then i could not even press it down at all and would have to wait for it to shut off after a minute like it normally does after being inactive. Then on my way to an apple store to get it fixed, the iphone died when i pressed the pause button on my headphones. I tried plugging it into a charger but it is unresponsive.
