  • Hey, so i had the same problem and since it is the oldest ipod i figured. what the hect. I took it apart and got to the center button and found that there is a small sticker looking piece that has a copper contact. The copper contact gets dust on it. (hard to believe but dust does get in there) If you carefully take a cutip you can clean it off. I havnt put it back togeather because i am waiting for a new battery but it should have fixed it.

  • I hate the iPod touch for this damn problem !!

    It keeps happen to me this time I can't fix it !!!

  • @misssicopico you need to open up the ipod's digitizer (you can find how to movies for this) and then look carefully for the copper contact. In my girlfriend's ipod this contact was released. I soldered it back on the "motherboard". When I put the digitizer on it again it worked. hope I helped you

  • @000matthijs1 Thank you sooo much your advice is really helpful :)

  • @misssicopico no problem:p

  • Hey well my ipod button looks like it's stuck. Do you think that if I were to send it to the Apple store they would give me another one. Although I bought it from my uncle?

  • get mquickdo

  • Wow. Killed mee. Lol. I thouqht this was to fix it.. .But, this happened to me, too! It freakin' sucks! I thouqht I was the only one until I Gooqled it....boy, was I ever WRONG! Lol.

  • Luckily I got a 5 year warranty on mine soni anything ever happens I'm covered :)

  • Mine has been broken since 3 years all I think is this will be the end of my iPod touch...but no my only solution is to train my thumb in pressing it hard because I know that its button became much more harder...now I don't have any problems at all...

  • Ah... annoying when it happens.

    My home button busted last week after 3 years of light use.

    Damn shame too, I had so many things on it

  • it happen to me today,very sad

  • Go to the slide to unlock part, unlock it and when it comes to the password part, make a screenshot(press the home button and the top button for 1 second) it should make a flash on your screen. After that, enter your password and your home button will be working(If you don't have a password on the Slide to unlock, add one just to do these things)

  • stop jamming on the button retard

  • i have the same problem and when i put the iPod on the Pc it nothing happens no loading nothing

    Apple :-(

    Its 2 years old -.-

  • @Lilimall0502

    I had the same problem but, I have solid white screen and my home button doesn't work. And Apple won't do anything unless I have a Apple care plan. This sucks!

  • @Chassen1236 thats easy to fix it happened to me all you have to do is hold the sleep/wake button and home button for 10-15 secs or until it restarts

  • Dude that happened to me about a month after I got it. Luckilly, apple was happy to replace it for me. :)

  • my button broke today : ((

  • It sucks doesn't it

  • its because hes got a screen protector on top

  • @Mentaljoe94 no idiot

  • consigue un bote de basura y tiralo ahi

  • I know how frustrating this is. Mine broke on me last night and i've been looking everywhere for a solution to get the home button working.

  • me too

  • I've had my ipod touch for 3 years, and just today the home button became stuck... Idk what to do!

  • same nothing happend to mine but i got it in october so yeah

  • Lol seriously , people have minor probs with this iPod and i have had mine for 3 years this year and nothing is wrong with it yet :)

    Might just be me or im lucky

  • i am so screwed. my ipod home button is stuck. i cant press it at all. then my ipod is stuck on the boot menu. only way i can fix that is if i can put in DFU mode so i can restore it on the compter. but i cant do that because i have to hold onto my home button long enough. and then my ipod warranty finished 2-3 months ago. and i dont want to buy another ipod. but i need a ipod touch badly.

  • Hahaha

    My sisters boyfriend works for Apple and mine gets repaired for free...

    bwahaha

  • did u get a new one?

  • Yea

  • @x986123 how do you get a new one?? my home button like the Actual button is broken, wont let me go back to the Home Page, will i get a new one for that?

  • at least your homebutton clicks... mines fucking broken

  • there is an iproblem my home button did not work but after some reserch i gust bangd it lightley on a tabel and it worked

  • Oow ty dude, and it was fast :O

  • Dude how to download that..

    i mean, you need to jailbreak.

    and how to jailbreak without homebuttom

    I have the same problem is broke..

  • upgrade your firmware to 3.1.2 and use blackrain to jailbreak it. It automatically run in recovery mode and jailbreak your iphone.

  • the Home button is not needed if you have Mquickdo installed. I tested Mquickdo and it worked like a charm. You'll never need to use the home button again after you got mquickdo.

  • Ok I had an iPhone n it was good but I just got an itouch and it's already very soft

  • dude that video was so pointless you need to srsly kill yourself -.-

  • If it was pointless you wouldn't watch it, plus 18,000 views proves you wrong.

  • i could post a picture of a cow and it could get a couple thusabd views. This is a pointless vid, and the only reason its getting views is because thousands of people looking for fixes to the same problem are seeing it when they search. But this vid does nothing but show us what we really dont need to see, either because we already have, or it doesnt matter. not knocking you as a poster, just trying to help you understand why this is a useless vid. but thats what 90% of youtube's made of...

  • Well, when I posted this, I wanted to know if anyone else had this issue.

  • @x986123 i understand. Just try to label it differently or do research first next time. if i made a video called ipod 4 right now with no real info on an iphone other than that they exist, i would get allot of angry comments.

  • @evangrim37 why are you on the video if your going to hate like you said "its a useless video" rite.....well your comment was useless...it wasnt needed cause like me i have the same problem and i went to the apple store and got a new one thanks to this video so this video did work to go hate on your own video because i dont see them getting this much views

  • @CarrotDude13 this video is pointless because it gives no actual information. Lots of people come to youtube looking for solutions to their problems, i myself being one of them. When i was trying to find a solution, and i was going through the "broken ipod him button" stuff, i had to watch all 56 seconds of this garbage (on the so-so connection i had at the time that was almost 3 minutes of loading) to realize it was just some kid pointing out the obvious and what obvious steps he would now take

  • @CarrotDude13 oh, and fyi, not only is this my secondary youtube account, but one of the videos on THIS one that aren't "getting much views" won me a second gen ipod touch signed by stan lee, both a solution to my broken ipod and a cool bragging tool. Maybe i dont care about views? maybe i only have this account to upload videos that i want my friends to see without driving to their houses?

    I know you cant comprehend that. Trolls are often narrow minded....

  • @CarrotDude13 final thought: i feel really bad for you if you needed this video to guide you towards the apple store. i hope you go to sleep crying over the level of fail that is, and then wake up the next morning with a new and positive outlook on life. idiots can live normal lives too.

  • Useless video. But I'm not gonna bitch... I also have a broken home button on my iPod Touch. Physically broken, and I can feel it -- there's no spring and the button is depressed. My 2-year old son did it. I knew it was gonna happen... but hell... I got an iPhone and decided to let the little guy play with the iPod Touch. Anyways to add soe help here -- if you kid plays w ur stuff and u notice u have to press a bit harder to get it to work -- thats a warning sign. I use Sbsettings now for "home"

  • looks like someone's not taking care of their ipod touch. lol.

  • i heard u can throw it and it will start to work

  • in what way was this video helpful?

  • Well you watched it didn't you? I'm just explaining my issue.

  • No... The home button failed. Its not software.

  • was your warranty still valid?

  • Hey, I'm glad you got it replaced.

    I'm thinking about doing what you did,

    x986123. I'm having the exact same problem.

    If I just go to the apple store, tell them "my home button doesn't work" will they give me the same model of my iTouch or what? Cause mine is 1st gen..

    Hope you can help dude.

  • Yea... I think they might give you a new one.

  • all u have to do to fix it is press the home and sleep button repeatedly

  • That only helps if your if the software/os freezes. It's like restarting the pc. But as you can see, the software works, but the button doesn't. If you have jailbreak, you can install a prog that simulates the home button.

  • Had the same issues. Just restored it and sent it in. The jailbreak was totally erased by restore and I only needed my S/N, didn't need a reciept or such.

  • My 2nd gen. iPod touch has a broken home button and when I press on the sleep/wake button, the iPod will take a picture of the screen and save it to my photos. Did Apple replace your iPod?

  • ur home button is stuck down

  • Apple replaced it for FREEEE!!!

  • is it true they will replace the home button for free?..

  • They replaced my iPod for free.

  • Thank You So Much You fixed my Itouch Thanks

  • dudes i need help my ipod touch 2g power button is broken or something cuz it doesnt work .. how can i fix it????

  • same thing happend with plz let me know if you find something to fix it!

  • to fix it I held the home and sleep button for a very long time okay not that long. if the screen goes white during this way. it eventually looked like it was starting up so i walked away and let it be it will go to home menu. this is with a 8 gb non jail broken ipod touch 2ng generation on a fully white screen

  • how did apple fix it my home button is broken too

  • Guys! Its been fixed for the last 2 years! I've sold it last year! No more hints or tips for me!

  • it could be fixed look at some youtube videos it could be fixed

  • lol :P hope it gets fixed

  • This is why i hate apple..

  • yah happend to my iphone 2g and had my dad look at it cuz i t-mobile so no warrenty and what it was is that the he speaker microphone and homebutton flex cable came off. prob the same for you. but glad you got it fixed.

  • glad u got it fixed! Did they do it for free?

  • Yea, free!

  • I bought mine last year in march, and last week my home button just stopped working for no reason! When I checked, I saw that I only had a couple of weeks left of the warranty (1 year), so thankfully it is now being replaced!

  • yeah man same..i was in my car listing to music and it just wont work now i press is and it wont even go in...gay

  • My Homw button is broken, it is down and won't spring up, it works only if i press it very hard, it happening when I was running with it in my pocket, I think the spring slipped... I opened it to see if I could put it back in place, but I didn't find anything... Here there isn't Apple Stores for me to take it, and the service is way too expensive... Bad luck of me....

  • Comment removed

  • Hey.! Did you already fix your home button? cause mine is stuck too.. and I want it fix as soon as possible..

  • after trying to google about mine this came up. me too :(

    and i have no warranty left dammit.

  • hmm Well i fell bad that that happened! My ipod touch 2g just broke because i accidently got water in it and now the touch screen is dead!

  • i have the complete oposite problem

    my home button is too sensitive.

    any way of fixing it or should i just live with it??

  • same problem as u but mines out of warranty

  • your a fag =D Besides, you have the new one. I had the old one.

  • haha i had mine for 2 months and it broke...so good luck one month from now trying to fix it douche fuck...

  • omg if that happened to me  would start crying and like literally die!!!

  • OMG SAME HERE!! i might be able to return mine though....

  • OH MY FUCKING GOD MINE DOES THAT TO AND IT FUCKING SUCKS! seriously though I lost my recipt and now i think im fucked message me if you have answers or help!!

  • They don't ask you for a receipt. (apple store)

  • Really? I know it kinda sounds stupid but how can i get to the apple store?

  • my home button fucked up today, and my warranty ran out 2months ago

  • I've had my iPod Touch for 16 days, and I remember one time when I turned it on, my screen was completely white. But it was solved by just locking it and turning it back on. If that doesn't work for you, you should try doing a restore. If that doesn't work, you're probably going to have to call AppleCare (1-800-APPLCARE) (1-800-277-52273), or go to an Apple Store if you have one near you.

  • i have the same exact problem, i didnt even have the fucking thing for a week

  • dude i would DIE

  • u deserve it they should only fix the home button not give u a brand new one. ass hole

  • mine started to get stucked on a song yesterday, and then more in another song, and then it turned off and i cant turn it back on (it had like more than the half of the battery power) hopefully they can give me a new one back because i think it is really weird

  • That happened to my ipod touch a 2 months ago Apple gave me a new one

  • That sucks. I'm going to buy me one of those 8gig ones. I hope it don't have anything wrong with it. :^|

  • my screen broke but it still works if i return it to the apple store will they replace it

  • I don't Know, I'm sorry.

  • thats y i buy my stuff at wal mart they just took mine back

  • im having the same problem but ive had my iPod Touch over a year and the problem is that my home button is jammed and only way for me to fix it is to take it apart and push the button until it becomes unjammed

  • Then you lose the warranty because it is visible if you removed the cover.

  • I NEVER EVEN HAD A WARRANTY FOR IT

  • gay

  • Ofcourse you are! You don't have to admit it to the public!

  • i think he meant that problem is gay >_> i have the same fucking problem fuck... i feel ur pain :(

  • Actually I have an iphone 3g now. Check out my other vids

  • Visit my website, x986123(dot)wordpress (dot) com

  • Hi, yeah i had the exact same problem, its doesnt work if you push it so it makes that clicky noise, but if you tap it, as you would the touch screen it works for me:) I would try get a replacement but, ive lost the warenty and i've also jalibroken it so... I doubt they would replace it :) Anyways i hope this help people who are in a similar situation to me. Oh, also if the light tap thing doesnt work, try pressing the very bottom of the screen just above the home button.

  • hey, same problem, but i havent tried restoring it, if i restore it, will i lose the 2.0 softwear upgrade. ?? thnx
