Stuck power button on iphone 4

[iZIGGA]

My power button is physically stuck on my iPhone 4. Is there a way I can fix this without having to replace the button?

This happened to my iPhone 4 too. Over a period of a few days it got worse and worse until it stopped working at all. Only suggestion of help I have had suggested to me is to try blast any trapped dirt/dust that may be preventing the button working properly with a tin of compressed air. I never tried this myself I think the best bet would be to try and get the button replaced.

It depends on how it got stuck, if it's like sugar sticking or whatever. You can take it apart and see what the problem is if you have a pentalobe driver

I dont think its a substance affecting it

If it truly seems physically stuck... your only option is going to be opening up your iDevice and seeing where the issue lies. Here's a step by step on opening your iPhone and getting to the power button. Installing iPhone 4 Power & Lock Button - iFixit

Of course... taking it to a B&M iPhone repair shop is always an option.

I am attempting it myself. I was able to open the iphone up but on the power button, where is the hinge supposed to sit in the space? Does it sit against the top or sit back towards the bottom?

You will find tons of tutorial videos on YouTube it's the way I double check anything I'm unsure about.
