iPhone "Erase All Content and Settings"

[Waleed786]

that's why it wasn't turning off when holding both, because the sleep doesn't work. the backlight goes off after a few minutes because the phone is set to "auto lock after X minutes" if you don't want that, go to settings, general, autolock and set to Never, but then, since your sleep button doesn't work, your not gonna be able to turn it off and will drain your battery

But If the home button still works then wouldn't he be able to turn the screen back on with it when it's on autolock?
