Iphone5 with ios7.0.4 power button problem

Yes, thanks to someone else who reminded me that some credit cards extend the warranty I did just that. One phone call and the insurance company sent me the form. simple to fill in, attached the credit card statement and the original Apple invoice, 2 weeks later a cheque for the full amount :-)

What did I do? Bought a new Iphone 5s.....hope I'm not back on here in 13 months saying this button has failed as well....

I am having the same issue on month 14!! Two months afetr warranty.....very aggravating to see no one else has had any luck. Apple may not get any of my money in the future either. Very sad!

I saw a "how to fix yourself" link online....anyone do this?

Yes, I used this guide http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+5+Audio+Control+and+Power+Button+Cable+Replac ement/10792 and tools/part from them.

This is not a repair for the faint of heart as it is quite extensive with screws/parts that are so small you need a tweezers to hold onto with.

As another poster said, it doesn't seem to make sense that this part would fix the problem, but it did for me.

I had the exact same problem. And it's just on my 14 months.

Extremely annoying. Now I have to use home button to turn the display on.

I have the same Problem since installing the iOS 7 update.

I never had the problem before, and at the beginning it was working sometimes but now the button is completely dead!

Apple has to fix this asap. I am really ****** - and will not buy another iPhone if the issue will not be fixed.

Me too, but I didn't try it.

In my opinion apple has to fix it as soon as possible - to me it's for sure a software issue and I am also not sure if apple didn't change something on purpose!!

Apple is stepping up and offering a free fix;)
