Brand new 5s turned itself off, now wont switch back on?

Using my phone was at about 20% battery, put it in my pocket and went to use 5 mins later and screen is black and wont switch back on. Has been sitting on charge for about 25 minutes and still nothing even when pressing or holding the home button or top switch. It was fresh out the box yesterday so less than 24hrs old! Any ideas?

Keep in mind, the iPhone is really a mini-computer, & like all computers, sometimes(although rare with an iPhone) needs to be re-booted.
For all pratical purposes, that's what a reset is.

    my iPhone 4 lost signal this afternoon, turned itself off & now wont turn back on!! please help????

    1. Reset phone - press both home and power buttons for up to 30 seconds until the Apple logo appears/
    2. If no response, plug into AC adaptor and charge for at least 30 minutes.
    3. Repeat Reset if no response to charging.
    4. If still no signs  of live, there is a hardware failure.  Take it to Apple or whovever provides iPhone service in your country.

  • Droid turned itself off, now wont turn back on

    I was using my phone when it turned itself off. now it wont go back on.  had it a while.  shouldnt have been hot.  took the battery out for a couple mintues and still nothing.  plugged it in and the light comes on when its chargeing.  the battery wasnt dead but it was chargeing.

    What type of Android do you have? What were you doing when it shut down? When you attempt to turn it back on, does it truly do nothing at all, or does it show a screen of some sort that doesn't proceed?
    You said that when you try to charge it, a light comes on. Is there an LED indicator on your particular Android that comes on, or is it a charging emblem on the screen that appears?
    It would probably be easier for you to bring it in to your local VZW and have them troubleshoot it for you.

  • IPad 1: Failed sync then it turned itself off/can't switch back on

    I tried to sync my iPad 1 in iTunes but got a message saying it wasn't possible (I've synced on this computer many times before and my iPad was working fine before). Then my iPad turned itself off.  I've tried charging etc but can't turn it back on.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iphone4 switches itself off and wont switch back on until its plugged into the mains

    Hi there, can someone help me please!?
    My iphone4 white had updated ios 4.3.3 and it randomly switches itself off, has anyone else had the same problem?
    It just goes to black screen and I cant manually switch it back on, only when I connect it to the mains does it come back on.
    What's also really strange is that once its reset from the mains it resets the date to 01/01/1970 and the time to 01:05?
    Hopefully someone out there can help!? Mark

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Anyone have any idea why there is an "error" when trying to activate iMessage? It randomly turned itself off and wont go back on.

    This just happened yesterday

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    my iphone turned itself off and It wont turn back on

    Hi that worked for me! I thought it was a battery problem. I knew if I came to the Apple iPhone forum I'd find the answer. Now I've got to find some answers on increasing the battery charge as my phone is dead by 8 PM and I charge it fully every night!

  • Phone just turned itself off and wont turn back on

    iPhone turned itself off and won't turn back on

    Nope you won't lose any data, it just like restarting your PC.
    to back up look at this link  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    also I would import your photos over to your PC and a secondary back up, you can always sync those pics back using Itunes  heres a link on how to do that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

    3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (C) Reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
    (D) Restore iPad
    1. Connect your device to your iTune (computer).
    2. Select your iPad when it appears in iTunes.
    3. Select the Summary tab.
    4. Click the Restore button.

  • IPhone 4S switched itself off and wont come back on. Please help?

    Hi,
    My iPhone 4S has started switching itself off randomly over the last week but would then switch itself back on several minutes later by itself. However, last night it switched itself off and no matter what ive tried it wont come back on. Ive tried the home+power button, connected to itunes and not, connected to itunes with the home button pressed. I rang the Geek Squad as I have insurance and they could suggest anything more. Im loathed to take it back to the shop as all the sales assistant will do is send it off, give me a rubbish temporary phone/brick and it will take ages to come back. I would be grateful if anyone can help please?

    Hi, my phone eventually came back to life of its own accord the next day but with virtually no battery life even though I'd given it a full charge. After it came back on I plugged it in to be recharged but the back became very warm whilst the power drained quicker than usual after I unplugged it.
    I took it to the Apple store later that day and thankfully the phone switched itself off again right in front of one of the Genius assistants. He couldn't diagnose the problem and so gave me a brand new handset straight away. Credit to Apple there and I'm so glad I didn't take it back to the car phone warehouse where I bought it from. They would have sent it away for tests for weeks.
    I've had no problems with my new handset to date.

  • Turned itself off, now won't turn on

    Went to bed last night with the phone almost fully charged and switched on. Woke up this morning and it was turned off, if i turned it on it displayed 'nokia' and the white loading dots displayed, but then it switched off again. plugged it in and it now switches on, x terminal says battery level is 0, even though it was about 60 something last night. Anything that would happen that would drain the battery that much overnight? It was connected to wifi, but it always is and battery hasn't been an issue yet

    Just to provide some more info, the battery level was basically 'stuck', so when it was charging i had to reboot for it to say it was 94%, then i had to reboot to find it fully charged. It now tells me when it's going down. So i tihnk when i charged it last night before going to bed it didn't really charge (maybe). I did take the battery out this morning, along with the memory card, but not for any lengthy period of time, perhaps one minute. Once i got it charging and switched on i hoped that was the end of it, though i am considering reflashing later.
