My iPhone 3gs will not turn on, charge, or allow me to perform a hard reset. iTunes nor my computer recognizes it andthe screen wont light up at all. What can I do to fix this?

I have an iPhone 3gs that is out of warranty. I purchased this phone from AT&T. Last night my phoone went completely dead (battery percentage was at 96% just moments before) and now will not turn back on. I have tried just about everything I have found on discussion boards- trying hard reset, plugging into itunes, charging for15-20 mins then holding down sleep and homebuton..... NOTHING works. This phone will not light up AT ALL. My computer wont even recognize it. Is there anything else I can do?

Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

    Could be a problem with the 30-pin connector port or the cable. Is there an Apple Store or Apple authorized support center nearby?

  • Iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore

    My iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore, all that happens is the apple logo appears the timer goes round then stops.  It then switches itself on and off several times to no avail.
    The only way I can turn it off now is by holding the off button and the home button, but then it goes into the cycle again.
    Any advice gretly appreciated.

  • My iPhone 3GS will not turn on past the loading apple

    On Saturday night my phone was on and working. I plugged it in and went to bed, when I woke up Sunday morning the screen was black except for the apple that pops up when it is starting to turn on. I reset it with the sleep and home buttons (too many times to count) and have even tried to hold the home key and plug it in to the USB to restore it. The problem with that is I have never connected it to my iTunes on my computer before. I use iTunes on my phone and plug my phone up to download my pictures every now and then (of which I will lose a couple of weeks of my 6 month old.. but thank goodness for FB!). Apple will only help me if I pay and ATT tol me to clean my SIM card with an eraser which got the battery to pop up on the main screen, but as soon as I plug it in the same apple screen pops up! PLEASE HELP!!

  • My iphone 3GS will not turn on

    So, my partner was using my iphone when it all of a sudden turned itself off. I have tried to charge it with numerous chargers: NOTHING. I have tried holding down the home + power button for a restart: NOTHING. I have just tried to do a restore through itunes, got through the whole sequence, had a white screen then came up with an error advising that it was unable to complete the restore. HELP! I do not want to take it into an apple store as it is no longer under warranty. Is there anything I can do to get it working again ??

    You could try to connect in recovery mode to restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If this does not help, you'll have to get it serviced. Are there any error numbers given when the restoring process stops?

  • My Iphone 4s just shut off and will not turn back on. I've tried everything, from hard reset(i help the home and sleep button for 2 min!) to plugging it into my pc, nothing

    As said before...

    If the battery died, then it won't turn back on.  I'd plug it in to the wall charger, and leave it for a few minutes.  If that doesn't work, take it back to Apple.
