Dropped iPhone 5c and now it won't turn on

My cousin dropped his iPhone 5c and now it won't turn on. It doesn't charge or make any noise. What should I do?

Try to reset the phone
Hold the sleep and home buttons until the apple logo appears and allow normal boot up - there is no data loss
If this does not work - then chances are that there is hardware damage that cannot be fixed through the user troubleshooting methods and bring it to an Apple or authorized repair store

HT4061 We just updated our mom's iPhone 4, and now it won't turn on. When it does, it says "iTunes" and wants me to connect to it. Nothing I do makes it go away, and I can't get it to turn on. Help!

I just updated my mom's Iphone 4, and now it won't turn on. When it does, there is a "itunes" icon, with the cord picture, which is asking me to connect to Itunes, I believe. Can't get past this screen to even turn it on. What do I do without having to restore her entire phone, which I have no idea how to do that?

You need to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and may need to do that more than once to succeed.

I dropped my iPhone 4S, and now it won't turn on...

I just got it, and I dropped it, and now it won't turn on. I usually always have cases on my phones, but I'm waiting for it to come in the mail. And just my luck, I dropped it.
I tried plugging it in to my computer, and it just makes the sync noise repeatedly. But won't turn on. Is this fixable? I really can't afford to buy a new one at $600. this close to Christmas. Please help me!

Hmm. That helps. But I just got it through my service provider, so its only a week old. Lets hope its less then the $200!
Thanks!

I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5c and now it won't turn on and I know it was fully charged any ideas?

Have updated my iPhone 5c to iOS 8 and restored it and now it won't turn on. I have tried plugging it in even though I know it was fully charged, I have shut down my rebooted my computer and iTunes from scratch and reconnected my phone and still nothing, any ideas?

Hello Nikmuz,
It sounds like your screen is either black so it looks like it is not on, or it is just plain not turning on at all and it is also not being recognized in iTunes. I would recommend the followng troubleshooting from this article to help you determine whether that is the case or not, named:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
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.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

There is nothing you can do as you won't be able to reset the device.
You can wait until the battery goes flat then try connecting it to power so it restarts. If the same issue occours then you'll need to restore it on iTunes by entering recovery mode.

Updated my iphone 4s and now it won't turn on

I updated my iPhone 4S today and now it is stuck in a loop with the apple logo. I tried doing the restore/recovery mode and it runs for 5 minutes then comes up and says it cannot be restored. Anything I can do or do I need to go to the Apple store?

If the phone won't restore from iTunes, there isn't much you can do. If your phone is still under the 1 year warranty or you purchased AppleCare+, Apple will be able to swap your phone out at no cost. If you are no longer under warranty, you can get a replacement 4S for $199 plus tax, in which case you may want to consider upgrading if you're eligible.

My iphone froze and now it won't turn on or charge! Help please!

I downloaded a book app onto my phone, after trying to use it, it froze and the home button wouldn't work, so me being the idiot that I am decided that maybe if I locked it, it would work.. it didn't and so the phone went black, but it would still ring and play music (although I couldn't answer), and then once my music stopped playing, I couldn't turn it back on. Now, my phone has finally died and has been charging for about an hour, via the wall and now via the computer and it still hasn't turned on. Any suggestions?

I had a temperature warning come up on my iPhone 4 and now it won't turn on

I had a temperature warning come up on my iPhone 4 saying I needed to cool it to use it or something and turned it off and attempted to turn it back on as a means of fixing it, but it didn't work and now my phone isn't turning back on and even when I connect it to the charging cable (either to a plug socket or iTunes via my laptop) nothing happens; it doesn't even seem to detect it, my phone is still lifeless.
Anyone know what to do about this and how to fix my phone again? Cos right now, it's nothing more than a nice looking paper-weight. Would appreciate the feedback, thanks.

Try a hard reset while connected to power: (adapter, not iTunes on computer): Press and hold both the Home button and Sleep/wake button at the same time for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple Logo appears.
If this doesn't work: try to force restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
NB: the article above will erase all data and content, so make sure you've got a backup
Good luck

I dropped my iPhone 4 and now it won't turn on it all.

I've shook it to see if it's broken inside and i dont hear anything. The charger won't bring it on and it's not cracked or scratched. What can I try to get it to turn on? Will they fix it at the apple store for free or will there be a fee?

It sounds like the drop was able to break something internally. Apple Store usually do not fix iPhone. Instead they repace them. Since your iPhone is damaged they will charge you $149 for the replacement.

Gently dropped iPhone 4 and now won't turn on only if plugged in to wall

I dropped my iPhone 4 and now it won't turn on. Only when plugged into electric socket does it actually try to come on. I get to the point of putting in pass code and then it goes to it telling mr to plug into iTunes but when I unplug phone it goes blank again. Any suggestions?

you broke your phone. Bring it to Apple for an out of warranty exchange ($149) or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

Dropped iPhone and now it won't turn on??? :(

Dropped my iPhone 3GS and now it won't turn on. I didn't even drop it that far or anything but now for some reason it won't turn on. I've already tried resetting it several times and it hasn't worked. I plugged it in to charge it and nothing happened and when i plug it in the computer with the dock, nothing happens and it won't even show up under devices in iTunes.
Please help.

I believe the correct technical term is... "you broke it".
Take it in for service. An out of warranty replacement from Apple is US$149.

My Internet was messing up so I turned it off and on. It still wouldn't work so I turned my iPhone off and now it won't come back on. What can I do to fix it?

I was trying to fix the internet on my iPhone so I turned it off and back on, then it still wouldn't work so I i turned my iPhone off and now it won't turn back on. Now when it's plugged into the wall or the computer the Apple Logo comes up for about 6 seconds and turns off, then back on for another 6 seconds then turns off again and it just repeats, and it really frustrates me. What can I do to fix it?

I had a similar issue with my phone.....it just shut off and wouldn't come back on even thought it was charged. My daughter toggled the mute switch several times and then she pressed and held down the home and lock buttons. It worked......would be worth a shot.

I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

Once you have a proven, working Charger... Charge the Device for a couple of hours. Then try to turn it on.
If no joy...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If the issue persists...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and now it won't turn on at all, will i lose all of my data, for example my photos and messages etc? and is there any way you can back the phone up without having it switched on?

If you had previously been backing up to iCloud (or a computer with iTunes), you would possibly have a backup. That said, if you can't turn the phone on, you cannot create a backup of the device now. Sorry.
