I put rubbing alcohol on a paper towel and rubbed it into the home button while trying to move the button in all directions. What you're trying to do is clean the space between the button and the glass so that the button moves freely.

The button is a "slip fit" in the glass, the smallest amount of contamination (dirt, grime or skin oil) can make it stick.

That happened to my iPod. I had to work a little rubbing alcohol into the button to clean it and free it up.

Hi, I have an iPad 3 Verizon version. Lately the home button has not been working. I have to press it several times and often it still does not work. If I push the on/off button twice and then push the home button, that may make it work. It is becoming quite annoying. What is going on? Can it be fixed?

Thank you.
