Jesus man. You mean to tell me I have to do all that to fix such a simple thing? I love apple but this is beyond ridiculous. I'm not taking the risk in opening it to fix a damn button. Great video though, i'm frustrated with apple not you.
Haha, why would Apple make it easy, when perhaps the less ambitious would simply upgrade their device? ;) Nah, I hear ya', brother. If you have a change of heart, I hope this video helps provide a bit of guidance. Thank you for the comment.
@@VestigialVoice This video was great man!! I've been searching for a fix for the past few months, so when I realized your video was 2 weeks old i got excited. Great video i'm just upset I have to do all that to fix a damn button.
You probably won’t see this since the video is a bit old but, thank you so much the q-tip and alcohol method worked so good. I share my iPad with my siblings and the buttons got stuck and I was able to fix it. Great video!
Hot dang, dude. Hearing that got me fired up! I also did my digitizer and screen, just haven't edited the video yet. Let me know if you run into problems. There are a couple tricky parts to it. Take care :)
Thank you so much, man!!! I ALSO OWN the same iPad Air 2, and its been stuck for 10 years by now! This helpful tutorial convinced me to not throw a knife at my trash iPad.
On my iPad Air you can go to settings, general. Access ability, accessibility shortcut, assistive touch, triple click home button, touch device icon and you can turn up or down volume from there and it remains easily accessible from there and you don’t have to pull your iPad apart.
Thank you for the comment, Ken. You are correct. I posted that in an earlier comment as an alternative or temporizing technique, but it is worth emphasizing again. Have a great week! :)
@@TH3_INFID3L It is certainly safe to use. Isopropyl alcohol works when it is able to either solubilize or break up a mechanical obstruction. Good luck, bud 🍀
You make everything easy, I had a meltdown while replacing my iPad 2nd gen’s digitizer, now I feel more comfortable with replacing my iPad Air 2’s battery
THANK YOU! At first I was skeptical since the new iPad seems to have much tighter buttons but the alcohol swab worked instantly. So thank you again! I'm over the moon that I don't need to take it in!
Review the techniques outlined in the first 60 seconds of this video. If they don't do the trick, you likely will need to remove the screen. Thank you for the comment, bud 🤝🏼
Bro I use iPad Air two and And Can u help me pls help if u can the button that does volume up is not properly working I have to tap 3-10 times to make it work and the volume down button is working but the button with we volume up isn’t working
Thank you for sharing this. I have a question. Mine sank because I pressed it too hard but now it can still work. I only need to press it harder. I am not sure if it will work in the future. Is it a problem? Thank you.
Hi Irene. That's similar to what happened to this iPad Air 2 as well. The button sank inward and didn't have that nice, tactile recoil after pressing. It worked for several months after that before ultimately failing. If you want my advise: keep using it the way it is, but purchase the inexpensive repair tools, because the day is coming when it will no longer function -- and at that time, you'll be prepared :) Have a great week!
Took me about 5 minutes with the heat gun and pry tool to crack the screen. At least I tried to fix it. Apple, geek squad and batteries plus couldn’t do it.
My button is odd, it’s stuck but also not stuck. If I press anywhere on the button with one finger it won’t work BUT if I put pressure with 2 fingers on both sides of the button, it works
Hi Danny, Sounds like either the underlying bracket or else the contact has slipped alignment with the button. As long as it's tolerable, I would not open up your iPad to fix it until it completely breaks down.
Thank you for the comment, Caleb. Remember: we are not defined by the adversities that face us, but rather, we are defined by how we face those adversities. Have a great week, bud :)
The iPad works amazingly the box came a little dirty, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA no plastic wrap, but the box was sealed and had everything else in the box along with the wrapping, the iPad itself is gorgeous, I got the yellow 64g game storage is good for me along with Socials and school stuff. No scratches or marks came with the charger and box fast speed, and if you are buying a pen get the 1st gen don’t make the mistake I did !!
The worst thing is apple is not open during quarantine oh wait I have an idea.Spam apple with calls and texts and if they don’t do what you want insult them
I feel like if I tell my parents they would have to get me a new iPad (Because my home button is also pretty pushed down but it works) or have to go to the Apple Store just to fix this :(
@@mimis_diaryIM SORRY BUT IT WORKS FOR ME NOW- ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TO KEEP PRESSING DOWN BOTH OF YOUR FINGERS AT THE EDGE OF THE BUTTONS UNTIL THE VOLUME BAR SHOWS

Reality: okk guyss this is how you break your ipad
To lazy

You're the man, chris!
Thank you for visiting my channel :)
Very helpful!!! The alcohol method works, I used 2 pieces of alcohol pads, wiped them around the dead button and dried it with a hairdryer.
I love to hear that, kang! Have a great weekend 😄
I’m watching this video on the device I’m about to fix.
Big brain move right there.
Like looking into the department store mirrors...
Awesome, cool man, replaced the volume buttons. Now on to the screen

Great to hear, ray, you made my day 🌞
My definitely needs replacement. How much would this cost?
Thank you so much, the method at 0:13 worked for me, and I did not need to do anything else
Wonderful!
SAME
It worked on my iPad 9 ios 18
This is awesome… rocking the button side to side worked perfectly for me! Definitely thought this was a bigger issue with my device. Thank you!!
Wonderful, jenny, I'm thrilled to hear it worked for you!

@Heath Warren scroll dowm to accessibility then find the accessibility shortcut.
Ken Goriup thank you, thank you, thank you
Does the isopropyl alcohol one work for the power button as well? Just saying
@@TH3_INFID3L It is certainly safe to use. Isopropyl alcohol works when it is able to either solubilize or break up a mechanical obstruction. Good luck, bud 🍀
I think I'm going to try this since no wants to buy it with the broken volume button haha, but where did you get those gutiar pic style repair tools
@@PakuZero they can be purchased as an iPad repair kit on ebay for under $10.
The alcohol method worked for me, thanks!
Brilliant ! I rocked the button from side to side and it worked ,thank you very much .
You're welcome!
Thank you so much it took 30 seconds thanks to u to fix it
Ty so much my iPads volume up button got stuck and then I told my uncle to see if he could fix it and he muted it so this helps a lot!
Lmaoo
You make everything easy, I had a meltdown while replacing my iPad 2nd gen’s digitizer, now I feel more comfortable with replacing my iPad Air 2’s battery
I appreciate the kind words, lover! Thank you for visiting my channel 🙏
Is there any safe alternative to alcohol on the qtip?
Isopropyl alcohol and a Qtip is not only the safest option, but also the cheapest. I do not see a reason to experiment with anything else.
So if I take the screen off can I use my same screen if I have the double stick tape
Thank you for the comment, Jesus. Yes, you keep your same screen and digitizer. If you are careful, you can also re-use the thermal adhesive tape.
Jesus Aguilar ur name is Jesus lol
OMG THANK YOU !!!!😅 I almost cried !!
bruh i’m about to burst into tears bc i never want my ipad to be broken
You're the man, Taraz! Which technique ultimately fixed your button?
Vestigial Voice the toothbrush

HA! My pleasure, Elmo! Thank you for visiting my channel :)
Can you tell me how to fix without removing the ipad screen?
Review the techniques outlined in the first 60 seconds of this video.
If they don't do the trick, you likely will need to remove the screen.
Thank you for the comment, bud 🤝🏼
Thanks for your help!
oml thank you so much- you are such a lifesaver!!!! :0
Dude thank you so much
Thank-you….the rubbing alcohol tip worked👍
Alright, way to go, Lucille! 👏
putting a little bit of hand sanitizer around the base of buttons worked for me.
Outstanding! A++ 👊🏼
Amazing. Something complicated and some what intimidating is made simple and easy to follow. Success!
Thank you, Ru. You made my day 😄

I’m just using my iPad Air 2 until it stops getting update and I have this issue too but I Just control it from the control centre
Worked great
Omg the tilt it side to side worked my volume kept going up
I'm glad you found my video, bud 👏
I’ve had 3 iPads now and for all 3, within the first week one of the volume buttons has always broken.
That's some rotten luck, Ward
I can’t push like..the whole button... it does work but my dad says a spring thingy or something moved out of its place..
my up volume button has got stuck down - i cant push it down so the volume wont turn up.. so same lol
So Mel, you going to take a shot at fixing it? :)
definetly not - i’ll mess it up somehow, i always do 😂 im just using the volume shortcut from accessiblity.
Mel Equestrian r u going to carry on doing that
Alishba X yeah, i cant be bothered to do otherwise and ill eventually get used to it
Thanks so much, really helped me…
Clear well explained video..thanks.
Thanks, Rick, have a great week, my friend 👍
Thank you man worked
Outstanding, my friend 👌
Thank you so much ❤️

Why can’t anything be simple
Why can't they, Miss... why can't they... What a different world this would be...
Is this the vid to fix the turn up button Bcs when I tap it it does not turn up
Hi Fluffy,
Yes, this video will help you fix either button!
Well I can feel it rocking side to side but I can’t get it out
If your volume slider still works at all, try double clicking on it- it works for me. . ( note to self, don’t bathe with your iPad)🤣🤣
Is there a way to fix the close button?
Hey Qurt,
What are you talking about "close button?"
You mean power button or the case detect mechanism?
Please clarify and maybe I can help you out.
I dropped my iPad but the shut off button is jammed, the sound buttons aren’t but they still don’t work
Lol I just pulled on it with my nail pretty hard and it started working again
Good for you! That's great to hear 👍
Need help by my power button he stuck..
Its like magic!! Thank you!!
You're welcome, hannah!
I can’t hear this but I’m watching. Ugh!,, I just had a new battery put in
For me it was the iPad case that made the issue
Thanks man
Hi, Friendly Duck! You're welcome, I hope the video could help you out :)
*does this*
Like for real my button looks like it’s gonna fall off like for real
for real?
soo uhhh I tried one thing and it worked wow thanks
You're welcome, Useless! Have a great weekend :)
Vestigial Voice Thanks again for posting this video!
If this don’t work Try pressing hard I have to press my button hard for it to work
Itz_Angel _Bubblegaming omg sameee
Omg thank you for the advice but my mom is going to KILL me
Good video, but unfortunately I was born with 2 left hands :/
Will use the accessibility workaround for now.
I understand, derf. If you have a change of heart, feel free to use my video as a guide 😇

Hi Danny,
Sounds like either the underlying bracket or else the contact has slipped alignment with the button. As long as it's tolerable, I would not open up your iPad to fix it until it completely breaks down.
I have a similar issue where my volume keeps going down automatically
Me too
You are dealing with a dirty contact, which is very fixable 👌🏼
My iPad volume down button is stuck help 😭😭
This happened to my iPhone volume down button it’s been stuck for a while now

@@VestigialVoice thanks!
i’m literally going to cry how do i fix it
lol just use the screen to do it, mine got stuck a year ago and now i got a new ipad and i’m not used to using the working volume button
just use an assistive touch

Who else just said
I give up
Why was this in my recommended?
Be serious. No way the average Joe can do that. Totally frustrating
My iPad volume button suddenly got hard to press and then a few days later the volume button just straight up stopped working
That is often how it starts: the bracket slips out of position or the internal haptic buttons fail. 😪
@@VestigialVoice me not understanding 80% of that: ._.
i cant fucking fix this damn thing and my dad won’t even help i hate this
Me too ☹️ I hate having to use the drop down menu everytime.. i guess ill just have to get used to it ig. 🤷
You lost me at the digitiser.
The digitizer converts your tactile input into digital input.
Thanks mate!
I dont have a heat gun ☹️ Its still stuck and i dont know what to do.. none of this is working
