Under settings, accessability, turn on assistive touch. You’ll have a grey dot floating around on your screen. When you touch the dot, it brings up the full “menu.” Touch “device” then a lock button option will show. Press and hold the lock icon. You’ll then have the “slide to power off” option. Turn off. Give it a couple minutes. Don’t panic, even without the working power button to turn it back on, it’s still doable! Just plug the phone in and it’ll power right on.

It worked, I can’t believe this! Thank you so much, I tried everything I could think of to get it started. I put it in a bag of rice for 12 hours, a bed warmer, blow dryer, and nothing. I started looking for repair shop’s, and stumble on your site, which included all iphones. I went to my phone model and the instructions said force start, and I tried it and presto, I’m back in business. THANK YOU! 724-309-3210
