You can't hold the power button to shut it down at all?
Yea
or you meant the power button is currently malfunctioning, hardware wise?
It’s always like that
Always like that? o.o
Yea
my friend, you need to be more specific than just "yea"
You meant it hasn't been working correctly for a long time before this?
It literally just won’t work so I use the home button
What I'm asking is if the power button is not working before this issue?
Since I need to know if that power button is the reason why you can't turn it off or not
Yea it just stopped working one day
Ok then now we are in a bind
Normally this isn't a big issue, since you can just turn it off and on again.
But now the power button isn't working, you are stuck there. There is really no other solution.
You can wait till it ran out of battery and turned off on its own
Or send it to a local repair shop as soon as possible, so they can either shutdown by disconnecting the battery or replace the power button.
If you wait for it to runs out of battery, you still need to fix that power button regardless
Why?
Because you will get this issue again, eventually
I’m low on money and my insurance expired
Well, up to you
Good luck
