Fix a Stuck Button on Your Smartphone or Tablet [How-To]

How to Fix Stuck Smartphone & Tablet Buttons

In this video, I'll be showing you how to free up a stuck button on your phone or tablet. By "stuck button," I mean the kind of malfunction that happens when dirt and grime accumulate around a button's housing, leaving you with a button that no longer gives you that "clicky" feeling, making it difficult to press.

Materials needed for this method are isopropyl alcohol, a Q-tip or two, and some canned air.

Got a screwdriver, yelled THUG LIFE and jabbed it into the crack of the power button and it worked.

I just tried this, and it was the perfect fix! I spilt some sweet tea last night and some got on my iPhone, immediately my lock button was sticking 😭 But once I tried this, it was fixed! Thank you!

I had been using my stuck power button for months now so I was really skeptical if it would work but when I tried it out it went so well that I was shocked lol Thank you so much for the video!

I rolled my eyes when I watched this like that is too simple, my button has been stuck for so long. But it did work. Thank you!

Bro I cut a plastic straw with an angle to make it pointy and just started swiping it around the button cause the alcohol didn't work🥴🥴 it still won't work but aye at least i've got some advice for others out of it 🤣

I can't believe it worked.
Thanks for the video.
I used water instead of alcohol 😄
