My iPhone 4 randomly shut down and won't turn back on.

My iPhone randomly shut down whenever I got a phone call twice in maybe 5 minutes. Now it wont turn on no matter how many times I plug it in or use the home and lock button. Is there anything I can do? After the first time it just turned back on but now it won't.

I just had this happen. Hold the lock and home button down for ten seconds.

  • IPhone 5 shut down and won't turn back on

    My phones screen turned a blue/greenish color and shut down and will not turn back on :(

    I'm having the same issue with my iPhone5.  It just started yesterday afternoon.  The "hard reset" as you suggested worked once.  However, it shut down again only one hour later.  It didn't turn on (even with the hard reset) for three hours when the hard reset worked again.  I hooked it up to iTunes and restored my phone and thought that it would fix the issue.  But after being on for about two hours, my screen got vertical lines then turned green and shut off again.  I haven't been able to turn it back on no matter what I do all night and all day today.
    It doesn't matter that the phone is plugged in or have 100% battery power.  It just won't turn on again.
    I have an appointment at my local Apple Genuis Bar, but I'm not sure what they can do as I'm not sure if this is a software or a hardware issue.

  • MacBook randomly shut down, and won't turn back on

    First of all, hello. Secondly, I've got a problem with my MacBook: about half an hour ago, it randomly shut down and when I tried to turn it back on, it didn't. Instead, the backlight kept flickering at the tempo that something inside the computer was "clicking", and the longer I held the power button, the more "clicks" there were. Needless to say, I've tried charging the battery, resetting the SMC, and to no avail: I still can't power it up, even when I don't use my battery. Whether I use it or not, the MacBook still "clicks" during my pressing of the power button and stops "clicking" when I release it. My MacBook is a year old. Can someone help me out here?

    Me too. Any resolution? I don't want to take it to my local apple place because they're retards, but according to the info on my warranty that's the only place available. Can't believe they don't have an RMA service direct to Cupertino, what a joke.

  • My iPod Touch randomly shut down and won't turn back on.

    This has happened before so i know what to do, BUT, my main menu button has been broken for a month so I just shut down my iPod to get out of apps. But, now since it won't turn on and I can't reset it, how do I fix it?

    Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Where it says place the iPod in recovery mode, use this program:
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    If not successful, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Iphone randomly shut off and won't turn back on!

    My power button has been stuck recently (not a major issue) and my Iphone 4S randomly shut off without any damage or moisture and over half battery life. Plugging it in to the computer or wall doesn't turn it back on.
    I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

    This is very bad. It is very difficult to deal with problems without power button function. If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean iPhone charging port very well with toothbrush and Isopropyl Alcohol. If still nothing, next would be battery replacement. If still nothing, replacement of the charging port with flex cable and lower mic. And on and on. If you want Apple to handle this, they offer perfect replacement iPhone 4S for $199.

  • Macbook air randomly shuts off and won't turn back on

    I have a 2011 Macbook Air that was given to me by my sister. She told me about a year ago she spilled water on the keyboard and it stopped working for a while. She took it to apple and they told her it was going to cost 700 dollars to replace so she decided not to. After a while the laptop randomly turned back on and started working fine. I ended up getting it as a free gift and it was working perfectly fine for about a month and a half until recently it randomly shut off on me. After it shuts off, it wouldn't turn back on through pressing the power button I left it alone and after a day it randomly turned back on and worked like normal. After about 15 minutes of use it randomly shuts down and won't turn back on. I tried resetting SMC to no avail. It randomly turns on for about 15 minutes before it feels like it gets slightly hot and shuts off. Any help will be great!

    Try running an Apple Hardware Test:

    If you find you can't, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be free and then you should know what the problems are with your MBA.

  • My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again.What should i do?

    My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again. I tried charging it and do it again...When i charge it , it opens the " Connect to iTunes" , when i switch to the computer to connect it , it doesn't work... It starts to the apple screen , and then just shuts down again. I tried holding the home and sleep/wake button at the same time..I tried everything. What should i do?

    Your iPhone is going back and forth between recovery mode and powering on which is really strange.
    Have you tried a hardware reset while its connected to your computer? This will force it back into recovery mode so that you can restore it. If restoring and setting up as new doesn't help, go ahead and take it to an Apple Store for a replacement

  • My iphone 5 keeps randomly shutting off and won't turn back on unless I plug it in to the charger

    my iphone 5 keeps randomly shutting off and won't turn back on unless I plug it in to the charger

    I'm experiencing the same issue. It's one thing to have to re-power up but to not be able to do so without plugging in the charger when the battery is substantially full, is a real drag.

    Plug into a wall charger for about 10 mins and see if it comes back on.   You may have a dead battery.

  • Hi everyone, so I was on my MacBook Pro 10 mins ago and it all of a sudden shut down and won't turn back on? I haven't had it backed up for a while now but does anyone know what could have possibly happened and if it will affect my hard drive?

    My MacBook Pro 13inch won't turn on? It randomly shut down itself and won't turn on!!? Will it affect my back up? Hard drive disk? Because it has all my work and personal things I really need on there! Please if anyone can help me!!

  • IPhone 5s shut down an won't turn back on

    I've had my iPhone 5s a few months now and I've just tried to update the software to iOS 7.0.5 it was all going fine until my phone just shut down and now it won't turn back on, I've tried starting it up and putting it on charge neither of which are working. What do I do? Has this happened to anyone else?

    Hello there, Daisy172.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers a few good recommendations for troubleshooting your issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Particularly:
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • My iPhone 5c has just completely shut down and won't turn back on I've only had it 3 days

    My iphone5c has just completely shut off, I've tried turning it back on and nothing. I've only had it 3 days

    Take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them fix it.
    I had a similar issue when I was syncing a friend's iPhone (I don't own one) in that the machine shut down when the iPhone was plugged in. But I was able to reboot. A lot of people seems to have the problem that you describe, however.

  • My iPhone 4 randomly shut off and won't turn back on.

    I got a text message, so I tried swiping the screen to enter my passcode and my iPhone randomly went black. The Apple logo did not appear and the battery was not low at all. My lock button is broken, so I tried hitting the Home button and nothing happened. I plugged it into the charger and nothing happened. I tried my sound dock with similar results. I plugged it into my laptop, and my laptop recognizes it, but my phone stays dark. I've tried holding down the Home button and have tried several times unplugging my phone and trying it in the charger and my laptop. Someone please help me!!
