8/23/2019 Power Button Rainmeter
Unfortunately, the iPhone 5 has a history of power button issues. Apple even offered a repair program for iPhone 5 owners due to extremely high failure rates in regards to the power button. If you missed out on the aforementioned program, we can help you repair it yourself for far less than what a new iPhone or an out of warranty replacement could cost.

Before beginning, I'll state ahead of time that this repair is unique: There are actually two issues that can cause the power button in an iPhone 5 to malfunction. In the parts list below I'm going to link to both of the parts you need to fix either issue — the button itself and the cable. Don't worry, I'm not going to make you lay a new cable though, I'll give you a much easier solution, but you'll need the cable to implement it. Since the parts are incredibly cheap in relation to a new iPhone, I highly suggest buying both. You will only end up using one but it's better to only have to take your iPhone apart once, instead of twice.
What you need to DIY repair a stuck power button on an iPhone 5
You'll need some tools and parts in order to repair your iPhone 5. iMore recommends using only quality and genuine parts from a reputable supplier like iFixYouri. They have quality parts, tools, and much more for all your repair needs.
Step 1: Power off your iPhone 5
Before beginning any repair, always power your iPhone down completely using the Slide to power off option. Easy enough right?
Step 2: Remove the front screen assembly
Alternate method: If you're having issues pulling the screen up with a suction cup, you may insert a razor blade on the outer edge of either screw hold and pry upwards slightly. This method gives you enough clearance to stick your spudger tool underneath and release the screen. I recommend this method if your hands aren't as steady or you're afraid you may pull too hard and damage a cable.
Step 3: Remove the battery
I'll preface this section by saying the plastic battery tabs to pull to release them are useless. They break off and/or bend the battery. You can try that method but I suggest following my instructions below instead.
It is important while performing the steps above that you're careful to not puncture or bend the battery. Just take your time and you'll get there. Don't rush and don't force it.
Step 4: Unplug the dock connector assembly
Step 5: Remove the logic board
Note: It is important to make sure you do not mix up screws to the logic board. Place them in an order you know you will remember!
Step 6: Fix the stuck power button
Note: You are more than welcome to replace the entire cable if you'd like but replacing the black dot is not only easier, it saves you the hassle of having to fold and meticulously lay an entire cable. Unless your volume buttons or mute switch are also malfunctioning, I strongly recommend leaving the cable alone and just replacing the black dot.
Step 7: Replace the logic board
Step 8: Reconnect the dock connector assembly
Step 9: Replace the battery
Step 10: Reconnect the display assembly
Step 11: Test your newly fixed iPhone 5 power button
Even though you tested the power button in terms of hardware, it's still good to test it afterward to make sure it's working correctly. Perform these steps to fully test it:
If all checks out okay, you're good to go! If you run into problems, be sure to check out our iMore mod forums for answers to commonly asked questions.
