Completely unresponsive iPhone!

I need some help. Recently my iPhone 3g was freezing with a loading circle so I went to a phone shop and got it sorted, but I plugged my iPhone onto the computer and I don't know what happened but now it's completely black. It won't turn on or reset via sleep/wake button and home button (my sleep/wake button is a bit broken so that's awkward but I've tried so many times so I think it just doesn't work) and if i plug it into the computer, it doesn't even locate it... If anyone can suggest anything to make it better, that would be much appreciated! Thanks!

sounds like the "phone shop" did a number on your phone.  You've now voided any remaining warranty on the phone, as well as your ability to purchase an out of warranty exchange.

  • Completely unresponsive iPhone 3g, decides to work 8 hours later

    So I have seen a lot of posts on people's 3g shutting down, but I have yet to find this exact behavior elsewhere although it happened to both my wife's and my iPhone.
    I took my phone off the charging cradle (with full charge) last night, made a phone call, locked it and put it in my pocket. 10 min later, I was going to make another call and the phone was completely unresponsive. It would not even respond to a hard reset. I plugged it into my MacBookPro and the computer did not even recognize it and the phone would not charge, anything. I had a busy night so I set the phone aside and got back to it several hours later. When I did the phone was still unresponsive and it was warm as if it had been in heavy use. I then plugged it into the computer again and went to bed. Shortly after I woke up this morning (8 hours later) the phone turned on, completely dead and began charging. The phone now seems fine.
    So if you have the behavior above, put it on the sync cradle and walk away for 12 hours or so and it might come back. This has happened once before to my wife's iPhone and as yet we have gotten no response from Apple as to what might be causing it. Right after my phone died I scheduled a call from Apple for this afternoon so if I get any solutions or information I'll post it here later today.

    It was suggested to me that this may help you. I hope that it does!
    Personally I'd do a 'reset' - it's something that's worth doing whenever you see anything 'unusual', 'unexpected' or 'unexplained', and although there are other 'deeper' remedies (such as 'restore' and 'restore as new', and DFU), a simple 'reset' (done every month or so too) seems to help to keep our iPhones healthy, even when 'Other' memory usage gets high or when there are poorly-developed Apps causing 'issues'.
    I hope that it is not a distraction and helps with your problem.
    Good luck!

  • HT201412 iPhone crashed twice, and is completely unresponsive.

    iPhone crashed yesterday and was restored via iTunes; however, the phone crashed again this morning and is completely unresponsive.  The phone will not turn on, off, will not reset, and is not recognized when connected to iPhones, thus restoring again is not possible.  Any suggestions, or is this phone dead?

    Hi mbordonaro97, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like this phone needs to be evaluated for repair. Please use the information and links in the attached web link for the repair process.

  • IPhone 6 Plus completely unresponsive screen

    I've had my iPhone 6+ since December, and the past few days for extended periods of time (3+ hours) my touchscreen is completely unresponsive. It's almost entirely random when it becomes usable again. I've tried the hard resets, and would do a plain shutdown if I had use of the screen, but alas, I do not. When it starts working again, it becomes completely functional and accurate. What can I do?

    Howdy bpowlison,
    If you are having an issue with your iPhone's touchscreen becoming unresponsive, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • Iphone completly unresponsive.

    Okay so my iphone 4 ios 6.0 is completely unresponsive , wont respond when plugged into wall (with several different chargers - for hours at a time) wont enter dfu (home & power button does nothing.) itunes or computer wont recognize it. no apple logo & or "connect to itunes" no battery symbol nothing. help ? ive tried everything -

    It sounds like you know how to do all of the possible resets and have had no success - so unfortunately as you have probably realized, it does appear that your iPhone needs to be replaced.

  • My iphone is completely unresponsive

    I left my iphone plugged up to the charger next to my bed all night. The next morning it is completely unresponsive. black screen. pushing the power on/off doesnt work and plugging it to the computer doesnt work as well what do you think is wrong with it. I still have a warranty

    Sounds like you'll need to go to Apple and get the phone replaced, doesn't it?

  • Iphone 4s completely unresponsive

  • Hi, I tried installing the new software update to my iPod touch this morning, got an error message that I could not finish installing it, and now my iPod is completely unresponsive, please help? It won't respond when I plug it into iTunes or anything.

    Hi, thank you for helping me! Every time I plug it into the USB port of my computer, there is an image on my iPod touch that shows a USB cord and tells me to plug it into iTunes, but it is completely unresponsive. I have tried holding the home and power buttons simultaneously for 15 seconds, and that does not do anything either. Any ideas? Thank you so much!

    Do you remeber the exact (or close to it) wording of the error message?
    Try manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try to restore
    Next try DFU mode.

    You can also try another computer  to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

  • I need to get into my phone, but the screen is completely unresponsive.

    I have the iPhone 4 and a few months ago, I dropped my phone and the screen shattered. Now the screen is completely unresponsive and I would like to access my contacts, texts, calls, etc.. Is there anyway I could get into all of that through iTunes or at least my computer?
    It's been this way for about a week and the texts and calls are flooding in and I can't even let these people know my phone doesn't work. Which *****.
    *I don't have the money to replace/fix my phone at the moment, so I need to find an alternative.
    Thanks.

    You cannot access the phone via the computer. You could try and backup the phone and try and access the backup via a 3rd party software, however most of them cost. Touchcopy is a good one to see the texts, but I'm not sure it will allow you to look at the call lists.
    I suggest you find a dumbphone so you can at least handle texts and call since you cannot afford to fix the device right now.

  • ITunes Store completely unresponsive

    Anyone have any ideas why the latest version of iTunes makes the iTunes store completely unresponsive. The previews don't load properly and it generally hangs.
    I'm pretty sure it's a problem at Apples end. Could be costing them a lot of money as it's been like this for weeks now.
    Makes the iTunes Store unusable, for me anyway.

    Unfortunately not. But I have the same effect for all of iTunes. This program became almost unusable. Hangs when trying to update Podcasts, hangs when trying to sync iPhone (G3), hangs when trying to access MusicStore, hangs, hangs, hangs,....
    I have the impression, that Apple overloaded the Program with Apps, and Books and so forth. Hope they have a fix soon....

  • My ipod touch is completely unresponsive.  Will not turn on at all even when connected to power???? HELP!!!

    ipod touch completely unresponsive.  will not turn on at all even when connected to power source.  is it dead????

    After charging for at least an hour reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect the iPod to your computer and see if iTunes sees the iPod.  If it does try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  If it is not visible try the following to make it visible:
    --- Place it in recovery mode via:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    --- Place in DFU mode:

  • I'm running Windows 7 and occasionally, Firefox will become completely unresponsive and grey out, then none of my programs will open at all, including the Start menu, forcing me to use a hard restart and shut down. Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm not able to close and restart Firefox at all, since the computer becomes completely unresponsive, save for mouse input. Task Manager is also of no use.

    Believe it or not, anything on the Desktop uses 3 times the Resources of the Mac than if stored elsewhere, I can note a slowdown from just 30 items on the Desktop on a really fast Mac, so the less the better on the Desktop.
    DW will not tell you about Bad Sectors, it's just the very best at Repair Directory damage & such.
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • Qosmio 870 completely unresponsive

    I have been using my Qosmio 870 for about a year and a half now and have had it repaired once for issues with the fan (although to the best of my knowledge nothing was done to it except wiping my hard drive). Then out of nowhere, while I was not doing anything out of the ordinary, it shut down. It is completely unresponsive (no charging light or screen light when button is pressed). I have tried the "drain" or "reset" method with taking the battery out and whatnot and all of its given variations. I encountered a reddit post of someone with the EXACT same problem (although a slightly different computer model) , I'll link for clarification: 
    http://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/18h9ty/toshiba_qosmio_x775_wont_even_turn_on/
    From what I gather this is relatively rare and a problem with either the AC adapter or mother board. I am out of warranty on the computer and these are pricey to fix so if you happen to have encountered this problem or have useful information it would be much appreciated, Thanks.

    You are right . this might be a possible ac adapter or MOBO.. im gonna pm you then

  • My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?

    My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?

    Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement.  You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
    Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.

  • Completely DEAD iPhone 3GS, Data Recovery ?HELP?

    I have a iPhone 3GS 16GB, The other day it just went off? tried unplugging it from the mains and plugging it back in again, but nothing happened.
    I tried to get it to go into DFU mode, Nothing!
    Plugged it into my Desktop PC, Nothing showed in itunes?
    I had it tested by a local phone shop and they said they did all the scans/checks and whatnot that they could and the iphone is a complete dud!:(
    But i really need the data that is on there?
    I have been told that if i take it to an apple store they can do a data retract for me?
    What are my options for a complete dead iphone but needing the data on there?

    Apple does not offer and will not perform any data recovery service.
    A simple google search will reveal multiple data recovery services, if you really need such a service and are willing to pay an arm, a leg, and give up your first born child for that data.
    If the device has been used as designed, it would have been backed up regularly to iTunes or iCloud.
    Simply restore that backup to a new iOS device.
    Contacts and calendars should be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device should be regularly copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
