My home button just quit working!

[HotPepper]

Just last night my home button stoped working now i have to keep hitting the back button to close out of everything. I read that maybe clearing the phones cache? I held the power button with the volume buttons but i dont see an option for that.

Any help thanks? I may just have to do a FDR

Also on top of that my phone lock doesnt work also. Entered my pin had it set to lock when i hit the screen off button. turn it back on no lock pin comes up

Im on the recent ICS

Did you do a Factory Data Reset after upgrading to ICS? It is as close to a requirement as anything can be that is not called a requirement.
