iPhone 4 Power Button

galwaydude18 · 2012-11-19 12:58:55

Hi my power button on my iPhone 4 stopped working last week and now it's eating the battery when in my pocket. I can't even use it to lock the phone. It like it feels it won't push down like its supposed to do. Does anyone know how I can fix this myself? Thanks in advance

This happened to a friend of mine as well, he can't turn off his phone completely but he uses this:

To lock the screen on his phone to save some battery,
Sorry I can't be of more use.
Btw this is for ios 5 or later I think.
I know its only a temp fix sorry

home button is a known fault on them, is it still under warranty?

Its a really easy fix. Just disassemble (use online guides) and you will see the piece of plastic under the power button is sideways. Put it in place and reassemble.
