How to fix my iPhone 5 lock button?
I've only had my iPhone for a few months now and the lock button doesn't work. Where can I get it fixed and how much will it cost?
If you take it into the Apple store and talk to them they can switch out your phone or fix the problem, which is cheaper than having to buy a new phone. If it's a defect that is their fault it may even be free.
Well that sounds like a Manufacturing problem. My old iPod touch's home button stopped working and I took it to apple and they have me a new one for free. Since you've only has it for a few months and all apple products have a one year warranty (for manufacturing problems, of course) then you should be good.
If i were you, i would certainly go to the apple store and get it fixed/ get a new one, but there's an alternate way. Just go to settings> general> accessibility> assistive touch> one > then tap that weird circlely thing > device > then lock screen. Done!
That last comment really helped me! My lock screen button is broken and until i take it into apple (verizon said i was sol since it has a few scratches near the button they would deem that I dropped and caused the problem. The scratches were from very early on and this problem is new) anyways! This trick allows me to lock my phone so i don't have to worry about calls or roaming charges when i'm done using it for the moment.
- When I press the lock button OR the home button.iPhone? When I press the lock button OR the home button, my iPhone takes a screenshot. It does the sane thing when I press the lock and home at the same time, but I know that it's supposed to happen

- Is it possible to replace the home button and the lock screen button on a iPhone? I've had my iPhone for about 2 months now, and the buttons are starting not to work. Besides the buttons my iPhone is in perfect condition. My phone carrier is straight talk, from Walmart. They don't offer insurance or a warranty or anything like that. So I was wondering if it was possible to replace these buttons?
- Iphone lock button broken, is there any alternative to lock iphone? My iphone 3G lock button is totally damaged and is out of warranty and I can't afford to get it repaired. I was wondering is there any app which can convert "silent" button to lock button. Or may be an app on which i can manually lock the device. By the way my Iphone is jailbroken, and "accessibility" is not accessible.
