HT1766 my iphone just went black and won't turn on what can I do?

Help! My iphone 3gs was working just fine. My granddaughter picked it up and jerked it out of the charger and it went black. I have tried pushing the home & power button together, going to itunes to restore and nothing helps. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks Terri

Did you try any of the reset steps, etc. outlined in some of these forums or pretty much do nothing until it started working again? Also, do you have an iPhone 4 as Sam The AMAZING does?
(I'm desperately grasping straws to figure out whether or not I've exasperated all options and my iPhone is lost forever...)
Thanks, L

  • What do I do if my iPhone 3GS just went black and won't turn back on or anything?

    it has the latest update and everything.
    i was snapchatting my friends, hit the home button and the whole phone went black and won't turn back on

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds. If still nothing, connect to Wall Charger and Reset, this can sometimes take about 20 seconds while on charger.

  • My iPhone screen went black and won't turn back on.

    Yesterday, my iPhone 4S screen went black and won't turn back on. So I tried just letting charge but after an hour nothing happened, so then I switched out the chargers and made sure the outlet I was using worked. But it still was black. Then I did a little research and I tried to put it into DFU mode but my power button has been broken for a few months now, so that didn;t work either. Then I tried restoring it, but my computer didn't recognize it!!! So then over night I let it rest with no power source connected to it. This morning I plugged it back into a power source and it showed the charging icon. I'm pretty that means it's still running, but I'm not an expert. PLEASE HELP!

    If you have got a different USB Sync cable try to charge your iPhone with that as there are possibilities that your current USB cable or Power Adapter is not Charging your iPhone. If it still doesn't work make an appointment to Nearest Apple Genius Bar

  • My Ipod touch went black and won't turn on

    My Ipod touch went black and won't turn on

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPhone 4s is black and won't turn on.

    My iPhone 4s is black and wont turn on. It is not dead, because I had just recently looked and it had 50%. I have had this phone for less than 3 months, what is wrong with it? I haven't dropped it badly and there are no cracks.

    "I haven't dropped it badly and there are no cracks."  Does this mean that you have dropped it, but there are no cracks?  Could be that you still broke something.
    Otherwise, try plugging into the charger for a bit and then see if you can turn it on with the charger still connected.  If it works, let the phone charge fully and try again with the charger disconnected.

  • My iphone 4 screen went black and won't turn on

    My iphone 4 today mysteriously won't turn on, I tried charging it and it won't even charge. I was using it a few hours before hand it was fine with 100% battery and I haven't put it in any water so I am confused as to why this has happened. Can someone please tell me what to do and why has this happened?

    I had the same for the second time today... no way to turn it on !! it was 63% loaded and on my desktop without activity (on the iphone ;- ).
    tha only way to turn it on is to unscrew the two scren at the bottom, remove the back cover then unscrew a screw on the bottom left, close to the black battery, then you unplug the plug, wait a few second, plug it agin and screw.
    Then turn it on ! it works twice ... then your iphone will first set as 1st of january ... but later recover everything date, time ... then i had a prompt with "imap.gmail.com" not recognised (written in french, i am french !), then i had a "dataaccessd" screen asking to accept the Equifax Secure Certificate Authority as non thrusted ... don't know what it is but asnwer YES and ACCEPT then iphone is fully operational ... until next crash !
