My Problem

My Power/Lock button stopped working about a year into having the phone. I finally decided, with the upgrade to iOS7 and loosing my jailbreak, that I would attempt to fix the problem.

My Fix

I followed the steps listed in the guide slowly, labeling all the screws and taping them down to paper. I did not have any problems with following the guide. Still not sure if just changing the metal button or having to change the button inside with the ribbon connection and the metal button at same time is best. So far the change in the metal button has worked, but still does not feel like it works the same as new.

My Advice

Tape down and label all the little screws to paper.

Look into changing the Audio and Power Cable at the same time, might have better results than just changing the metal button.

Look into changing the battery as well. For $25, I'm sure its worth having a better battery that your original iP5 battery.
