5 Lock button clicks but doesn't work
IPhone 3G on off lock button switch clicks but doesn't do anything. It wont sleep or power off so reseting it isn't an option. So how else can it be powered down/sleep? it was dropped so bad that the metal frame is coming undone from the back casing, you could probably pry it open from that corner. What do I need to do to get the lock button working again? Seems to me that something either came undone or possibly disconnected inside? Again it clicks and looks like it should work so it must be inside. Doesn't seem like I need to replace the button at all but not sure how to fix this. Please Help Please?!!!!
Es esta una buena pregunta?

It is always good repair habit to turn OFF device before repair work. The 3g seems to be less vulnerable to device failure during repair when ON compared to 3GS. If you want to turn your iPhone OFF, you can use program TinyUmbrella to turn it OFF. Open TinyUmbrella connect iPhone to computer, click on the iPhone name, click Enter Recovery button, this will put iPhone into Recovery Mode, unplug iPhone wait 30 seconds it will turn OFF. Only way to Exit Recovery when you are done with the Repair is to use TinyUmbrella, connect iPhone let it turn on, if still in Recovery Mode, click iPhone name, click Exit Recovery button.
