my iPhone 5s randomly turned off and won't turn back on?

hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Iphone 5 randomly shut off and won't come back on

    For the last few weeks my iphone 5 has been randomly shutting off. Usually when this happens I just hold down the power and home buttons and my phone reboots within a few seconds. However last night my phone shut off and will not turn back on no matter what I try. It doesn't respond at all when I plug it into the charger and the screen has been completely black the whole time. When I plug it into my computer Itunes starts up and a message pops up saying that Itunes has detected a phone in recovery mode and I must restore it before it can be used with Itunes. I tried to restore my phone earlier, but it got stuck on 'waiting for itunes' and my phone displayed the apple logo and status bar that would not load at all. My phone is now back to being completely black and unresponsive. PLEASE HELP this phone isn't even 6 months old. I am on vacation currently and really need to get my phone working as soon as possible. Thanks!

    I followed the steps found here: Error 4005 fix for Windows 7
    it actually brought my phone to life .. sort of .. I now actually see an Apple logo on the iPhone screen (before this it was just a black screen at all times, no matter what) and it has a progress bar under it. Only thing is nothing happens after this. It's just stationary.
    My iTunes just says Waiting for iPhone while my iPhone is just stuck with an Apple logo and a loading bar below that doesn't progress.
    Edit: After doing some Googling it seems like I have the exact same issue as this person https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6431899

  • 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!!

  • My iPhone 3gs just randomly turned off and won't turn back on

    I was just using my phone, and nothing happened. As of lately picture mail, and videos have been sending as a text message to other iPhone users even while connected to wifi. My phone just randomly turned off and won't turn back on. I just got it in July so its not very old and I have the hard protection case on it. Is there any way that I can reset it or something?

    Hold the home and power button down at the same time.

  • 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.

  • Iphone 4s won't turn on. broken lock button. It just randomly turned off and won't turn back on. Can't go to apple store because going on vacation. Please help

    iPhone 4ws won't turn on. I have a broken lock button. It just randmoly turned off and won't turn on. I can't go to the apple store because I'm going on vacation. Someone please help

    Your phone is broken; there's no magic solution for you.  You can try plugging it in to wall power and see if this turns the phone on, but if it doesn't, you can either go on vacation without your iPhone, or make the time to visit the Apple store before you leave.

  • My iphone 5c turned off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

    My iphone 5c turned off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

    Try resetting the device: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). If the Apple appears, the reset is in progress, and the Slide to Unlock screen will display shortly.
    Make sure the battery is charged. If you think it may not be charged, then plug the device into the charger and try resetting after 5 minutes or so.
    Cheers,

  • IPhone 4S Shut itself off and won't turn on

    my iphone 4s has turned off and won't turn on.
    it doesn't respond to the power button and won't respond to being plugged in.
    the last time I used it was about an hour before I noticed it.
    the last thing I did was put one photo on to my photostream.
    it had been sitting in an air conditioning room, and on a desk during the whole hour or so I wasn't using it.
    anyone have any ideas what might be wrong with it?
    i am 100% sure I'll have to take it to a store to figure it out unless it suddenly works.. but any ideas would be helpful....

    My 4s did the same thing yesterday. I locked the screen, then about ten minutes later I went to use it and nothing would work. Like the phone was completely dead. I tried everything, plugging it in, reboot, nothing at all worked. Then about five minutes later I hit the lock button again and the apple logo appeared and it started rebooting. Not sure what happened!!

  • HT1267 What do I do if my iPhone just switched itself off and won't turn back on again? It does not even register power when I plug it in to my car or home charger or computer???

    If you hold the home button and power button for about 10 seconds it will turn back on. I have had his issue 3 times but don't know what fixes it for good

    If you have done the reset and nothing appears and you are sure it still has a charge and it doesn't turn on, you may request for a replacement if it still covered by the warranty. Cheers!

    There is a thread or two about the home button and how to fix it at least temporally.  It sounds like some people have found it to be a rather permanent fix.  Do search on something like "Home button won't work".  It has something to do with putting the charging cable into the phone and applying a little extra pressure upward on the key.  Don't take my word for it though look for the thread/s.  You said originally that your "Power" button was broken and the thread I have seen is about the Home Button.
