5c shut off automatically and wont turn back on

My iPhone 5c shut off automatically and wont turn back on. I tried to turn it back on and it didn't work, so then, I went to plug it into the charger. It didn't start up or show the apple logo, it just vibrated every five seconds. So after awhile I went on to iTunes and tried to see if I could reset the factory settings, after it attempted to download it said that I needed to type in my password on my phone, but how was I suppose to do that if I can't turn my phone on in the first place??? (By the way, I accidentally dropped it, about five inches off of the ground, about an hour prior to this happening. so I don't know if dropping it had anything to do with it, because it seemed fine after I picked it up.) Help. Really, really, REALLY need it. thanks.

If a SMC reset does not help, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.

  • My Iphone shut itself down and wont turn back on?

    I broke my lock button about 2 months ago, and ive never had any problems. i used accesability touch to lock my phone, and sat in my living room. A little while later, i tried to open up my iphone by pressing the home button, and it wont turn back on. its completely black. I've tried plugging it up, ive tried plugging it up to my computer, but itunes doesnt even come up. i cant do a hard reset, because my lock button is broken. I dont want to get my lock button fixed, try to do a hard reset, and it turn out its a completly diffrent issue. Please try and help me solve this issue! I just got my iphone 4. I don't want a $250 dollar paper weight!

    Charge it for 15 minutes with the wall charger, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons for at leat 15 seconds or until an Apple logo appears.
    If that fails or nothing happens at all the phone is broken. If something happens (like any sort of screen display) but the phone does not restart within 5 minutes see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • My airport on my mbp just started turning off randomly and wont turn back on unless i reboot - help

    this just started happening the last 2 days.... it works fine and has without issue.... i think if i pull the power cord out it starts messing up here and there.
    i use a base w a fan under.... but it does get hot as **** if not.
    but again, it works fine, no issues just this weird airport shuts off and when you click to turn back on, nothing happens... when i restart, it works fine.
    i've read all the threads for this type of issue.... tried all the suggested things.... no luck yet... did the airport update yesterday that was specifically made for this issue but its happened again.
    i REALLY don't wanna buy a new mpb.... not cuz of the money, its not the issue... i hate the new mbp's keyboard... and LOVE the 2008 ones w/ the silver keyboard.... just type faster and it feels better than the black keyboard. (strange, i know)
    any ideas on how to fix this or what to do?

    any ideas on how to fix this or what to do?
    Have a repair shop take a look at the MBP to make sure that the internal wireless card is functioning properly.
    I have a 2008 MBP as well and the wireless card needed to be replaced a few months ago when intermittent issues began.
    I had the shop add some extra memory as well at the same time. Really helped.

  • My iPad Mini turned off randomly and wont turn back on.

    I was using my iPad for games during school and it just flashed a blue screen and turned off. I turned it back on and it worked for a couple minutes then the screen started doing weird things and popping up with random thin black lines. It has turnbed back on a couple times after that and it just does the same thing. I have tried resetting it by holding the home and lock button, and I would try and reset it through iTunes but it also won't connect to my computer. There is no physical damage on the device. I have only had it for a couple weeks. It has never been dropped or missused.

    & it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.

    Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
    Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
    To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

    ronicr76,
    First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
    > The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
    So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
    You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    Once your files are off try an SMC reset:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also.

    Hello StephanieeLovezYou,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  I would be concerned too if my iPhone was only turning on when connected to power.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
