IPhone power button has gone stiff?
The power button on my iPhone has suddenly gone stiff, I have to push down really hard just to make it work. It was fine earlier, is there any way I can fix this without taking it to apple or taking the whole thing apart?
Hi. I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I, Myself have had this problem. One of the best options is if you bought AppleCare+ when you bought the phone so you can get a free replacement. Otherwise, let me tell you what the problem probably is. There's a flex ribbon (a thin cable) connecting that to the main board (the motherboard of the iphone). Because it is such a thin cable, it is not hard to damage it without knowing. There are two options that i'm pretty sure you don't want to hear. One, repair it yourself. You have to order a new flex ribbon online and take the whole phone apart (be careful as parts can break) if you do this, you will void your warranty. If you go to the apple store, sometimes you might get lucky with a really nice salesperson, genius, or manager. I recommend going to the applestore first to see what they have to say.
It may be contaminated with crud. You can wash it off with rubbing alcohol and work the button a bunch when it is covered with the alcohol.
- Will apple replace my iphone 4? Power button is stiff? 3 weeks ago my power button was acting funny, Now it requires a whole lotta pressure to turn it off. I push it down so hard that my fingers turn red. It's covered by apples warranty and they're sending me a box to return the iphone. Will they replace it or repair it?

Hi, so a while ago I dropped my phone in water, I took it to a repair shop and they fixed it but when I got it back the power and home button didn't work, I turned on assistive touch so I can use my home button and turn off my phone, now I can't turn it on without using my charger or having someone text me, is there any other way I can turn it on without having to do that?
- My lock button on my iphone is stiff suddenly? I have an iphone 5 that i got not too long ago and suddenly the top lock button has got really stiff when pressing it down and doesn't click anymore. I spilt a bit of tea on the side of my phone the night that it started to mess up so i'm thinking it may be that? Water damage? How can i fix it because i've used a needle to try and gather any dirt from around it but there doesn't seem to be any anymore. Will apple fix it for free or is there something i can do?
