Hi,
for quite sometime my IPhone 5 on/off switch has stopped working; can anyone advice if this matter can be repaired?
I popped in the London apple store but they asked me a fortune to repaired which quite frankly its probably not worthy.
any advice of best practice?
Thanks

well if you don't want to spend any money then go to settings>general>accessibility>then go down to where it says assistive touch and turn it on. this control has the home button and a sleep wake button.
Thank you Crewe21, I'll try that; there is a lot of shops in London that repairs cracked phones & thought I'll check with them if its any cheaper that Apple store: is not that don't want to spend money but phone is 3 years old now so may as well get a new one.
thank you
You can also check on Apples site to see if your iPhone 5 qualifies for the power button replacement program. You put your serial number in, and it will tell you if that particular phone is eligible for a FREE button replacement. So that would be better than taking it to some dodgy backstreet phone repairer. I know, as mines in at the minute getting replaced, and as a bonus, they will swap your battery too at the same time. so according to the invoice I'm getting a new power button and battery for nowt. Not bad customer support for a 3 year old phone is it? Amazing actually springs to mind.
And as a bonus, they will loan you a phone to be going on with, as it takes about 5 days to do the repair.
