Flash will not turn off

My iPhone 4S got very slightly wet, while in a "Life Proof" case.  Now the flash/spot light will not shut off. It drains the battery in about an hour.  Even when the phone will not boot up due to low battery, the flash is still on. 
What should I do?

Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and take your credit card with you. A replacement will cost you $199.

  • Light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool.  I'm afraid it will start a fire.

    light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool.  I'm afraid it will start a fire.  Aside from breaking it, putting in in a metal pail in the yard, or putting it in a bucket of water, what can be done to keep it from setting a fire.  It is so hot it burns my skin if i touch it, so bright, it hurts to look at, so hot there is now a warning that it is not usable till it cools down, but there is no way to cool it down. 

    more info, this happened after update to 7.0.2, and also wifi will no longer turn on since update.  I took it in to apple store, it had one month left on warrenty, and they said that it would have had to get wet for this to happen.  I thought that maybe it got wet through my jeans pocket in the rain or something so I didn't pursue it.  Now of course, it is out of warranty by a month.

    Try Hard Reset -> Hold down these two buttons at the same time [Sleep/Wake & Home] the moment you see the Apple Logo 'release those buttons' allow device to reset
    If still no resolution -
    Restore
    [back up information either via iTunes or iCloud if no recent one has been done]
    Erase All Content an Settings - FIRST Set up As New - Test Camera Flash
    Works? Great! - restore back up
    [NOTE - if the flash does not respond again after restoring back up then sorry will have to Erase All Content and Settings Again and then the best part 'Set up As New and manually enter data/information']
    If the first time done and after setting up as new and still not resolved - then Id suggest call AppleCare Support or set an appointment up with an Apple Retail Store
    Best of luck

  • My camera light flash will not turn off iphone 4

    The camera light will not go off on this POS iphone4. Any suggestions?

    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • HT4528 The flash on my phone will not turn off. How do i manually turn it off?

    The flash on my phone will not turn off and is draining the battery. I've already tried turning the flash off in camera mode and resetting the phone to factory settings. Neither worked.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If these steps do not resolve the issue, take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Camera flash will not shut off

    My camera flash will not shut off. Have rebooted and totally restored as new phone. Stays on even when phone is powered off.
    May be coincidental, but it did not start until after 7.1.1 update.

    Hi,
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • Ipod will not turn off, no longer recognized

    iPod asked to update to latest software.  Upload failed and ipod left in state where it will not turn off, and is no longer recognized in itunes or as a device.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod nano firewire error and will not turn off! PLEASE help

    I am having the exact same problem as I see may of you unfortunate Apple users are. I am receiving the error message about firewires and I have never used one. The nano will not turn off and I have to let the battery run out. The play/pause function works perfectly fine, but not to turn off the nano. The sleep function does not do anything either. I am so disappointed with Apple because they would not help me on the phonbe since it is well past my first 90 days of ownership. I may have gotten a single drop of water on it, but that was about 2 weeks ago, and still having the same problems. I don't know what to do, but I see that Apple has gotten mighty rich off of their JUNK products! Anyone out there, help me please!

    Do a reset.  You will not lose any data: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If this does not help resore from a backup.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Lastly try restoring to factory settings.
    If none of this works, it's probably a hardware problem.  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your Apple store.  You are under warranty and they will fix or replace it on the spot.

  • M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI card installed, now computer will not turn off

    I installed Audiophile 2496 card + "live lite 4" software and now my computer will not turn off. It goes through the motions, but than just reboots. I have to hold the start button to kill it. I also have a Firmtek SATA PCI card and a USB 2.0 PCI card. Is there some way to solve this short of pulling the card?

  • Web sharing starts but will not turn off

    I have enabled web sharing and been running successfully for a long time, recently upgraded to Lion.
    The problem I have now is that I can turn Apache on through the Web Sharing prefs but it will not turn off, technically that not true as the instance is killed off but something is restarting the httpd processes (new pid's). As far as the Pref pane is concerned Apache is off (un checked box), though in reality, a new instance is running.
    The only way to turn it off is by su apachectl stop.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Adam.

    Have you tried to hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds or so, until you see a silver apple. See if you can get it to reboot.
