remove the whole back cover, and jus start dinging it around. but that button could be broken if all the weight of the phone fell directly on that button. twice...

i really dont plan on opening it for 2reasons. 1. dont wanna screw up more 2. i dont have the tools

[smirkis]

1. your phone is already screwed. 2. watch youtube on how to remove rear cover.

lol dude are you serious do you not understand the words " i dont want to screw it up more.." they are common sense, And i said that i dont have the ipod tools read.

[smirkis]

your the highschool spoiled kid who dropped his iphone not once, but twice. tell mommy to buy you another one and sell that one to the kid who helped you drop it.

common sense is a term used when words ain't need to explain something. so learn how to use that in a sentence.

i'd say call apple, but they don't warranty stupidity. google "iphone repair".

and you don't need ipod tools, learn how to search

You could either...
1. Fix it yourself with what people above had said.
2. Buy Another.
3. Use it as a paperweight/doorstop.

put it in the microwave for 2:00 and it will reform itself

:evil grin:




seriously though, if ur not willing to take it apart to fix it what did u think someone would suggest, a plunger?

[ekidd]

since your probably going to have to open up the phone, might as well slap the black cover on there!

Exactly same thing happened to me, I dropped it once on the side and it jammed my power button. There is only one thing to do and that is open the back cover, remove two small screws holding a switch assembly and release the button.
Easier said than done. I bought 2 plastic tools in electronic store and after removing bottom cover (plastic one I spend hours removing metal cover. Some people claim they did it with old credit card or with sharp knife but I don't know how. I started with exacto knife and properly scratched metal cover. it looks like s*** now and I ordered new one but delaying going through same torture again.

my comment of suggestion by opening the phone was a real suggestion.

this kid pm'd me requesting my location of existance lol. "where do you live faq"

its in my portion to the right. san diego... but like i said via pm. unless mommy will drive you over, don't know how far you'll get on foot... you can buy as many iphones as you want, our phones work lol. and we have loving parents, but can afford the device out of pocket, child.

Dear God, its hard to believe (not really actually...) That people like this exist. Im 15, i bought my iPhone myself, with money from MY job, where i work on weekends and make minimum wage and im perfectly happy. Least i can say that i buy my things and not my sugar daddy. My favorite part is how he is bragging he is buying 2 iPhones to replace his one, and he could just fix the dang thing himself, and best of all hes giving one to his friend. I hope he knows the only reason hes his friend is because he buys him iPhones, i'd pretend to be someone's friend for some free stuff. Haha kids in for a rude awakening.
