iPhone 5 Sleep/Wake Button Replacement Program

Black is so happy because he just received a brand new replacement iPhone for his faulty iPhone5 sleep/wake button. Apple has launched a replacement program for a specific batch of iPhone5 that has been identified to have problem on the Sleep/Wake button. If your iPhone 5 Sleep/Wake button is not functioning or functioning intermittently, you might find the following interesting.

Before you storm into nearby Apple store, make sure your eligibility by popping in your serial number in the Apple site. To get your serial number, go to Settings > General > About.

Eligible
Not eligible
You eligible? Hooray, now back up your phone in iTunes because you are going to drop your iPhone at one of the participating Apple Machines in Malaysia listed at the bottom.
The Machines staff will create a Case ID for your replacement request. They will then turn off your "Find my iPhone" and erase your data. Apple's policy require approximately 2-3 business days to diagnose the phone and if successful, it will take around 7 business days for the new phone to be delivered to Malaysia.

[Tip 1] The above merely act as a guideline and might not always adhered to. Some gently phone calls to nudge them might be useful if they are not responding after the required period.

[Tip 2] Make sure your phone did not drop into water previously or cracked or faulty. Most likely they will reject your request if they found your phone having other problems during the diagnosis.

[Tip 3] If you bought your iPhone overseas, you might encounter some obstacles during the process. They might ask you to call to Apple in the country you purchased the iPhone or simply reject your request. Do not give up! You absolutely have the right to exchange it even though you bought it overseas, as long as you are eligible to the program. That's what Black experienced too.

 And finally, good luck to you!
