My iPhone 3GS lock button has sunk in?

If I get a new back housing for my iPhone will this fix the problem? The button still works. Also if I do need back housing do you know any tutorials showing you how to change it?

A similar thing happened to me and mines not working! If you ARE having the same problem as me, i gently/hardly tapped my phone on the table and it sorted it out for a few weeks! It's obviously not the best thing to do to your IPhone so you might want to take it into the apple store.

If it's still covered by Apple Insurance, you can send it back and they should send you a new phone, they did for me. My button wasn't even completely broken, I'd have to press it about 3 times for the home button to work. They just sent me a box and I sent them my iPod, in a couple days I got a brand new one. I would suggest doing this because even if a new back housing fixes it for a while, it would be nice to have it completely working, right? Anyways, I just called Apple. Even if you didn't buy a warranty, they have it for one year on every product. They also pay for the shipping, because the box they send you already has a stamp on it. So you could try the new backing, but I would suggest trying to get an all new phone. If they won't send you one, then you could try the new backing.

  • 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.
