On my iphone 3G my sleep/wake button doesn't respond and
I found a fix so I wanted to share with you.
See the solution below:
If your phone is not frozen, you can turn on "digital" versions
of your hardware keys without erasing network settings.
Go to settings, general, accessibility;
assistive touch "on".
assistive touch "on".
A small white dot will show up on your screen,
which you can move wherever you'd like to keep it.
Tap the dot,
tap device,
and there is your lock screen button,
which if you hold down
will bring up
the power off
red arrow.
You can use these buttons the same way you would
the "real" button.
That worked and it was booted off.
Then - Oh, oh I couldn't figure out
how to turn it back on without
that power button that is on
the top right of the phone
because it is broke.
I looked until I found a very easy peasy fix.
Do you want to know what it is?
OK, I'll tell you.
When you plug the phone or ipad into the wall
as if you were charging the device and
it will power on.
Yep, that easy and it worked.
I thought I was going to have to get
a new phone
or have it taken apart but nope,
just plug it in to charge it
and walaaah!
It is fine.
