Chosen Solution
The lock button on my iPhone SE has become extremely sensitive. It keeps pressing itself, even when I’m not using the phone. I have dropped the phone on 2 occasions since I own it is slightly deformed around the button, but the issue presented itself months after the last drop (although I’m sure its related). What do I need to fix/replace to solve this?
This is an issue where the power/lock button will need to be replaced/ part is here: https://www.fixez.com/store/iphone/iphon… tutorial here: iPhone 5s Power Button Replacement This is for the 5S, but it is the same process. It requires you to gut the whole phone, so be careful. The power button and volume buttons are all on the same flex, so you’re technically replacing 3 buttons including the mute swutch.
I just had this issue and pressing the power button really hard about 5 times seem to have fixed it. Worth trying before you gut your phone.
