IPhone froze and now won't turn on

Hello, my iPhone 3 froze so I unplugged my charger and let it die. When I woke up the next morning it was off, so I shrugged it off and brought it to school to keep it safe. When I came home and went to charge it, the battery low sign didn't pop up and it seemed like it won't charge or turn on.  My lock/off button is broken so that didn't work, and I tried around seven different chargers. Does anyone have a solution?

if the power button doesnt work not a lot of options to turn it on with or do a reset apple will do a out of warranty replace for 149$

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • Gently dropped iPhone 4 and now won't turn on only if plugged in to wall

    I dropped my iPhone 4 and now it won't turn on. Only when plugged into electric socket does it actually try to come on. I get to the point of putting in pass code and then it goes to it telling mr to plug into iTunes but when I unplug phone it goes blank again. Any suggestions?

    you broke your phone.  Bring it to Apple for an out of warranty exchange ($149) or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

  • Dropped iPhone 4s and now won't turn on unless plugged into wall

    Hi there,
    So I dropped my iphone 4s onto a hard floor 2 days ago, it was at 95% battery at that point. It now will only turn on when I plug it into the wall, and as soon as I unplug it, the phone turns off immediately.
    When it is plugged into the wall it shows 100% battery and the signal (both wireless and carrier) are very touchy and it says 'searching...' a lot of the time.
    I have had the phone for 19 months now and am out of warranty. It is also worth noting that 1 month ago I replaced the battery myself because I was having battery issues and it has been working perfectly since then up until this incident.
    If anyone has any idea of how to fix this or any idea of what the problem may be it would be much appreciated. I have tried holding the home screen and top button simultaneously and also tried plugging into my laptop to restore but the laptop will not start the phone up, it just goes into a cycle of going to apple logo screen and then shutting off.
    Thanks very much.

    The drop either jarred loose the battery connection or cracked the main circuit board. As you have repaired it yourself Apple won't touch it, so you might as well take it apart and see what has happened.

  • My ipod 6th generation froze and now won't turn on. HELP!

    My car stereo will only support my ipod 6th generation if it has the right software updates. It was not playing my music today so I plugged my ipod into my computer and updated it to version 1.1. I added a few songs and unplugged it and put it into my car stereo. it froze up my stereo and the ipod itself and would not go back to the normal screen. It stayed frozen for about 45 minutes and now the ipod will not even turn on when i plug it into my computer. has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know what i can do about this?! i use my ipod every day

    Most likely the iPod is fried. Take it into an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider so they can run a diagnostic on it and see what exactly is going on. Most likely the battery or HDD.

  • My iPod Classic froze and now won't turn on I've tried everything

    I went to listen to my iPod, which had almost full battery, turned it on, then pressed menu to go back and choose another song, but it froze for about 10seconds then went to a black screen. Now I can't get it to turn on, I tried restoring and everything, I even left the battery to run down for a week then charge it, still nothing, I've had it less than 3 months, can anybody help me please?

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You will very like need a computer with iTunes make the iPod work.

    My 5S just started doing this on Thursday: every fraction of a second or so it oscillates between connecting and disconnecting with the charger (USB or wall, doesn't matter). Since it's still under the limited warrantee, I took it to the local Mac dealer (I live in a small town w/out an Apple store) and they shipped it off. I'm waiting now for the replacement--telephonless, too!
    What concerns me is that many people seem to be having this issue.
    You were right to be suspicious of the Apple store employees. Once they replicated the behavior that you experienced, they should have immediatly offered to exchange your phone. Anything else, in my opinion, is unacceptable. As long as your phone is still doing it, I'd go back, ask for the manager and tell them to exchange your phone.

  • I downloaded the new software on my iphone 4 and it worked for a few hours and now won't turn on

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. If still nothing, connect to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, iPhone may turn ON itself. If still nothing keep on charger and Reset. It can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

    Given the state your device is in you have already erased your old stuff. You have an image on the screen that says, "Connect to iTunes." That's what the image means. So you will need iTunes on your computer.

  • My ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

    my ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. My Ipad 3 was a bit slow/unresponsive, and then it just went blank. I pressed the home button to see if it would come back on, and it was extremely slow, but it did show me the home screen. However, then it went off and wont come back on at all now. I have tried charging, tried the reboot, connected to itunes (which cannot detect the ipad) and nothing is working.
    The ipad is only 2 months old, and no damage!
    Any suggestions? Thanks

  • I have an ipad mini that won't power on. It was turned off to charge overnight. In the morning it was warm and now won't turn on no matter what I do. I've tried resetting using the power / home button combination and nothing works.

    If you have owned the device, as in purchased from Apple, less than a year then there will be no charge to repair, or most likely, replace the device. If you have had the device more than a year you will be charged an out of warranty cost for replacement ($219 I think) and that is much cheaper than a new device. If you have Applecare+ then you have an additional year of coverage and the replacement will be $49 or $79 depending on when you got the Applecare.

  • My MacBook Pro shutdown after it said my USB was draining to much power and now won't turn on please help

    Hi my MacBook will not turn on after it said my USB was draining to much power, and it shut down and now won't turn back on please help

    USB power management is part of the SMC (system management controller).  Try to reset SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Then get a self-powered USB external hub.  It takes power from a wall socket and saves the MBP power system.  Starting at $20 at BestBuy and similar stores.

  • MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on.

    MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on.  Battery had 41% just before this happened and green indicator on power cord is showing, so it seems like it's charging.  What should I do?

    The led on the power adapter should be amber if it is charging.  Green just indicates that it is supplying power to the MBP.
    Try a SMC reset:

  • Was playing the Ipod and it went black and now won't turn on

    was playing the IPod touch with camera and it went black in the middle of a game ans now won't turn on.

    After charging for half an hour, reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If it now works you are done.
    - Connect it to the computer.  If it appears in iTunes restore the iPod
    - If not seen, see if placing he iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
