Got a call from my daughter away at college tonight and she says the power button on the iphone 5 she received this past Christmas no longer works, luckily it's stuck in the on position! Any thoughts or idea's in fixing it? I had bought the phone from Verizon but I'm not sure if she needs to take it back to a Verizon store or an Apple store. It's only 2 months or so old. Thanks for any help.
Got a tip for us?

Happening fairly frequently with other people - my friend just exchanged his after 5 months because it took 8-10 attempts to unlock his phone each time.
If its convenient I'd much rather deal with the Apple store than the average carrier store. You'll walk out with a replacement without a problem but be sure to make an appointment online ahead of time for the genius bar.
Been there, done that.
my perfect launch day iphone 5 had this problem happen just last month... so what's that? 3-4 months out of it before a major hardware defect...?
QC is slipping...

Yeah, the short answer is take it to Apple. don't deal with VZW if you can avoid it. Apple will swap the device out on the spot. Verizon... well, who knows what they'll do.
