If the Home button doesn't work, follow these steps:

  1. Press the Sleep/Wake button to lock the device.
  2. Wait a couple of seconds.
  3. Press the Home button. Your device should wake up.
  4. If device doesn't wake up, follow these steps. Test the Home button after each step.
  • Restart your device.
  • Check for debris or dirt around the Home button and clean it with a soft cloth.
  • Remove any protective film or case if it covers the Home button.


If the Home button still isn't waking the device, or if it's damaged, contact Apple Support to set up service.


Cheers,

- Judy
