iPhone 5, 5S, 5C & SE (1st Gen) Power Button Repair | UK Postal Service
If your iPhone 5 series power button is stuck, recessed, or no longer clicks, there is no need to panic. We have seen this problem hundreds of times at our workshop. At atlantis, we specialise in restoring the physical wake and sleep controls of legacy Apple devices for customers right across the country. Whether you utilise our convenient UK-wide postal repair service or visit our Canterbury workshop in Kent, we provide professional internal switch replacements for a fixed £35.00 fee.
Meet Your Atlantis Technician
Every button restoration is completed by an atlantis technician with over 15 years of experience repairing Apple devices. In the iPhone 5 series, the power button mechanism is part of an intricate internal flex assembly that requires precise handling to avoid damaging the surrounding motherboard or display connectors. Our workshop has replaced thousands of these components, ensuring the "click" is restored to factory standards. We utilise professional anti-static tools and grade-A components to ensure every repair is durable. For other technical issues with these models, explore our full range of iPhone 5, 5S & SE repairs.
