IPhone went dead and won't turn back on

My iPhone 5 was a refurbished phone that I received under warranty in November. However, it worked fine until last week when it started turning off at 50% and below (which is the same reason why I had to get this refurbished phone in the first place). But because it immediately turned back on, I thought nothing of it and ignored it. However, my phone went dead two days ago and won't turn back on. I've used two chargers that worked the day of, but it wouldn't charge with either of those and those wouldn't even connect my phone to my laptop. So, thinking and hoping it was both of the cords malfunctioning, I went out and bought another cord. My phone still won't turn on, Apple Support refuses to help in any way because my warranty out, and I'm lost.

Plug it in to a wall outlet so it has power, then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.

  • 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

  • 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 shut off and won't turn back on.  What should I do?

    My iphone shut off and won't turn back on.  What should I do?

    sometimes if the battery drains completely you will need to leave it plugged into a charger for 10-15 minutes before you get any activity at all.  this is normal

  • My iPhone 4 died and won't turn back on. It's been on the charger for 17 hours.

    Last night my phone went completely dead while I was doing something for school. I put it on the charger as soon as I got into the car, maybe 30 minutes after it went dead. It's been charging for 17 hours and still shows an empty battery with a flash underneath.
    I've tried everything. I've attempted a hard reset multiple times, the screen goes black for maybe two seconds and then the empty battery comes back. Tried restarting my computer while my phone was plugged into it. Tried pressing the home button while plugging it into my computer. My computer isn't recognizing it when I plug the phone in.
    I am desperate. I don't have the money to buy a new phone. Please help.
    It hasn't been dropped. No water damage. I've never broken an iPhone before.

    Your only chance is connecting in recovery mode, as explained in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    iTunes has to tell you that it found an iPhone in recovery mode, otherwise you can't be sure that you put it into recovery mode.

  • My iphone went dark and is not turning back on.

    Yesterday my son was playing temple run when my phone just shut off.  I let it sit for awhile and got it to turn back on.  Later that evening it shut off again and I haven't been able to get it working since.  Any ideas?

    Have you had the phone connected to the wall charger? If so, try connecting to computer and iTunes and see what happens. Does the computer recognize the phone? Does it say it is in recovery mode. If it does not recognize the phone you cannot restore it. You can try to force it into restore mode, search the User Guide for steps on that, http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • IPhone Shut off and won't turn back on

    My iPhone 3GS just shut down and won't do anything. I've tried pressing the top button, toggling the top and bottom button, plugging in to charge it, and syncing it, but it just stays black and non-responsive. Any suggestions?

    Home + Sleep does not restore. It simply resets you need to put your iPhone in recovery mode (hopefully you backup your phone frequently):
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Connect iPhone to Computer.
    3. Press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously.
    4. As soon as the screen goes black release the Sleep/Wake button BUT continue holding the home button until you see a pop up a message in iTunes telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
    5. Sync and restore.
    Hope this helps. Please let me know if it does not so I can provide more help.

  • IPhone shut down and won't turn back on

    Hello everyone,
    I've been enjoying my iPhone for quite some time and recently used the iPod function and docked the iPhone to my iPod Hi-Fi sound system...suddenly the screen goes all white and the phone shuts down. I tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't budge, i've attached it to the charger for about 4 hours now and still nothing. I've tried the home and power button reset but that didn't do anything...If anyone knows what's going on here, please let me know. Thanks for lookin!

    If you have charged it directly to the USB on your computer, and not on a hub the only thing that I can surmise is that it is down beyond repair.
    You cannot reset since there is no lock.
    I suggest you take it to the nearest Apple Store or AT&T Store, wherever you bought the phone and see where that leads. Of course you can also call AppleCare.

    I have an iPhone 4, the battery is charged and I was just using it about 30 mins ago. Now, it is turned off. I tried to plug it in and there is nothing. It has been very slow lately, so it doesn't surprise me if it is broken. Any suggestions? I was trying to hold out on getting the 5.

  • My iPhone 4 died and won't turn back on?

    Today I was out and had my phone in my bag. It was already 23% when I left the house, and I didn't really look at it while I was out. About two hours later, I think I got a call cause my phone was vibrating, but when I checked, the screen was black and wouldnt show anything??? I figured the battery was dying or something so I just left it alone. Then when I got home, I went to charge it but nothing is happening. It's been charging for like an hour now and nothing has showed up. What can I do? I tried the home+power button but my home button is kinda messed up (I used assistive touch), so I'm not sure if it's even effective. Help please!

    Time for a new phone.
    Christmas is early for you.
