iPhone power button replacement

Your iPhone no longer starts with the power button, or you have to press harder and harder before anything happens. Usually the button itself isn't the culprit: behind it sits a flex cable, and that fails more often than the button.

Good news: this is a known and fixable problem. FIXNOW first runs a diagnosis, explains what's going on, and discusses the price for your model. You're welcome in Antwerp and Wolvertem.

Does this sound familiar?

You have to press the power button several times before your iPhone responds
The device sometimes doesn't start, or only after persisting
The button feels different than before: too soft, too stiff, or sunken in
You can no longer switch off or restart your iPhone with the button
The problem is gradually getting worse

What you can try yourself first

Remove any case around the button and test again, sometimes it's simply in the way
Turn on AssistiveTouch in your iOS settings: you'll get an on-screen button that temporarily takes over the power button
Don't force the button if the problem comes back. Pressing hard often only makes the wear on the flex cable worse

How FIXNOW handles it

Diagnosis

We test the button and the flex cable behind it. This way we know for certain where the problem lies before we replace anything.

Repair

If the cause lies in the flex cable, we replace it with a part that fits your iPhone model.

Testing

After the repair, we thoroughly test the button: starting up, restarting, and switching on and off multiple times. Only then do you get your device back.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my iPhone no longer respond to the power button?

Usually it's not the button itself, but the flex cable behind it. During the diagnosis, we check whether that's also the case with your device.

Can I still use my iPhone with a faulty power button?

Yes. Turn on AssistiveTouch in your iOS settings: you'll then get an on-screen button that temporarily replaces the physical button. Handy as a stopgap until the repair.

Is this a difficult repair?

It takes precision, but it's a known problem. We first run a diagnosis, so we're sure the flex cable is the cause before we start.

How long does the power button repair take?

That depends on your model and how busy the store is. Your iPhone is often ready while you wait. We discuss that during the diagnosis.
