As some of you may have read, my power button is busted. So to turn my phone on i plug it in. Yesterday night, i turned it off while it was charging. So this morning i go to turn it on and nothing happens. I've tried plugging it into the wall charger and the computer but nothing. Ideas anyone?

I know, but it was working perfectly fine until i turned it off while it was charging. That was the first time i've done that since the power button stopped working. Can you, or anyone else try turning it off while it's charging and then plug it in and see if it turns back on, or if you have to turn it on via the power button. Anyway tomorrow i'm taking it to get repaired, i'm just hoping the problem isn't with the motherboard or the battery.

Hold down both the POWER button and the HOME button for 20 seconds. This will force cycle the phone.

If its working, it will come back on.

My power button doesn't work....

^Oh, ummm.....yeah there's no way to turn it on without the power button.

Take it to Apple, as long as its still under warranty and there is no water damage or physical damage to the phone, they should replace it.

Does it matter if i have a sales receipt? I bought it through eBay, but i know for a fact that it's still under warranty.

So i should be good right? Since they can't turn it on, the fact that i'm jailbroken/unlocked shouldn't be a problem.

Well, if you dont have an active AT&T simcard in it.....you are probably out of luck. You can try though, you may get someone really nice.

And they "might" just be able to get it on, who knows.

Well i just read the warranty and it makes no mention of at&t for it to be serviced or for the warranty to be valid, so i'll hope for the best.

You are correct... warranty is NOT contingent upon activation. They will try and ask you for your AT&T phone number and say they can't help you and that's when you tell then you read the warranty and ask then to show you where it says you have to be activated.
