What do I do if my home button on my iPhone stops working?

So a few weeks ago the lock button on my iPhone 5 stopped working. What do I do if they home button goes out? Is there any way you can wake it up even if the lock and home button don't work?

You probably need to get a new phone because if you don't have those you can't really turn the phone on. See if your conract will allow it. I also really recommend the iPhone 6

Try holding the lock and home button at the same time for at least 30 seconds, they should shut your phone down and restart. Hope this helps, good luck!

  • Is there an iPhone app to go to the home screen? My Home button isn't working well? IIm afraid my home button will completely stop working soon enough, and i don't currently have money to replace it. I really only need the home function, but it would be really nice if it also had a screenshot function (because screenshots need the home + lock combo) Edit: If it makes any difference, my phone is an iPhone 3GS (old, lol) and has iOS 6.1.6.
