So I've had the Iphone 4 since it came out, so about 2 years or so now. It's never had a problem, always been a great phone, recently I've noticed that sometimes I will turn it on and the screen will be completely unresponsive. It happens rarely, and very randomly, but now is a problem because of my newest issue with the phone. My lock button has apparently jammed... I can't really tell how, but I can no longer press it, which mean I can't turn my phone off, take screen shots, or restart it or put it into recovery mode for software. It didn't really become a problem, until a few minutes ago, when my first problem happened. When the screen became unresponsive, before just locking and unlocking the phone a few times would fix it, but now because of my lock button being stuck, there was nothing I could do... I just had to sit there and hope for the best. It fixed itself randomly 5 or 10 minutes later.
I scheduled an appointment with an apple store repp for this Monday, But I'd like to know if anyone could provide some insight into this. What I'm really after is how much this is going to cost for them to fix it. I know there are do it yourself kits and such, but I don't have the time or patience, i'd rather have them fix it, or give me a replacement. I plan on getting the 4S for xmas, which is why i'd like to know the cost for fixing this before I go in, because it's a 45 min drive to and from the nearest apple store, and If it's going to cost more than $30-$40 dollars to fix it, then I wont even bother. I'm hoping it wont cost more than $20, but then again, I just hate spending money haha.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide! Like I said, really looking for costs if anyone has had this problem or similar and have gone to apple about it, or if they can figure out how much they'd charge me.
