IOS – iphone 5, ios 9.0.2 stuck on lock screen

iosiphone

Anyone have solution for my issue? My iphone 5, ios 9.0.2 stuck on lock screen.

Sleep / wake button is not working for years (https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-sleepwakebutton/). I live in Indonesia, bought that iphone in Singapore. All I can say is, I can't ask for replacement

What works for me:

  • assisitive touch
  • home button
  • mute / unmute switch
  • volume up / down while accessing "Voice Control"

Other than that nothing's working

Touch screen on OTHER than assisitive touch is not working. So I can't do any slide, etc.

I tried to use assisitive touch to turn off my iphone but I can't swipe the "slide to power off". I can show control center via assisitive touch but I can't touch anything. Hard reset (holding sleep/wake + home button) is not working because my sleep/wake button is not working.

I think it might be related with "notification center" because I can't open notification center via assisitive touch.

All I can do right now is waiting till my battery runs out (hope this issue will be gone after it restarts)

In web programming terms, it seems that there are some kind of z-index difference blocking the layer other than "Assisitive Touch layer"

What was happening (in case any of you can replicate it):

  • my wife was borrowing my iphone (LCD still off)
  • WhatsApp chat notification came
  • she clicked home button (while the LCD still glowing)
  • boom! that's all

PS:
I don't want to wipe my iphone, I have a lot of important data in my iphone

The solution should be to wait until the battery is drain out and the plug it to the power source to turn it on. Everything should be back to normal.

BUT in my case, I can't wait until the battery is drain out so I open the iphone by myself then unplug the battery (~4 hours ago). Everything should be back to normal BUT in my case, it made my iphone "broken". I did a mistake (I was separating the display from the front panel!!) when I tried to "suck" the front panel. Sometimes there are some weird mark on the top of my display and touch on that area is not working :(

Though I'm not sure, is that happened because of my mistake during opening the front panel OR because I forcibly unplug the battery when the iphone is still ON.

So, it is not advisable to open the iphone by yourself. I did that because I really need it at that moment and I can't wait until the battery is drain out (even until now it still 64%).
