HT201210 iphone 5c will not power on, will not restore.

iphone 5c will not restore.
The apple symbol will appear when I do a hard reset (pressing the power button and circle button), but will not restore.
Connected to iTunes to restore, I would get error 9. Tried a different USB cord, still no luck.
Purchased this phone on ebay. As far as I know the phone has no water damage and has not been dropped. Worked perfectly for about a week.

try to reboot the iphone by holding the power button and home button at the same time, then when the apple logo comes out release it and it should be fine.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

No ideas on how to fix a hardware problem besides Apple
You might try calling Apple Customer Service and asking about the possibility of shipping it to them

I have no idea why it stopped working. But why it failed does not matter.
Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Repair Center and have it assessed and see what it would take to get it working.

HT3205 My Macbook pro can not power on after not being in use for two months. all the battery indicator lights lights but when the power on botton is pressed, the laptop makes intermitent noise

How do I wake up my Macbook pro from sleep after not using it for about too months, it beeps continually when the power on botton is pressed. I put it on charge for over too hours, it still can not power on

Yes, I took it to apple store, George Town, US and one out of the two memory chips was bad. It was replaced free of charge because the Mac book pro was under warranty, and it is working perfectly.
Thanks

My 4th gen iPod touch will not power on, will not charge anywhere, and is not recognized as plugged in by iTunes. This is irritating, as a friend had given it to me in perfect working condition because she got a new 5th gen iPod Touch.

I just got this 4th-gen Touch from a friend because she got a new 5th-gen. when she gave it to me, the 4th-gen was in perfect working order, and I haven't used it since she gave it to me. I had put it in sleep mode and put it on my dresser, wher it has sat without being messed with for two weeks. Now, all of a sudden, it won't power on, it won't charge no matter WHERE i plug it in to charge, and not even a hard reboot has worked. My computer will not even recognize that it is even plugged in. There is no red low battery symbol displayed, nothing to make it seem as if it is charging, and, if it is charging, no response is evoked from it when I tap it, or push any buttons. The warranty on the thing has expired, and I really need to find out what is wrong with it and get it fixed. Can ANYBODY HELP ME????????? if somebody can point me in the right direction, or even help me get it physically fixed, i am willing to give MAJOR points, and it would be greatly appreciated.

Didn't you already post something similar:
Yesterday, I went and bought a refurbished 3rd-generation iPod touch, with a warranty for needed repairs in the future. When I went home after buying it, I plugged it into my computer to start charging. I plugged it in, and the battery in the iPod exploded, and now it won't power on period, even when it is plugged in or docked. I bought a warranty to go with the iPod because I figured that I was probably going to drop it, and then need it repaired. But Apple cannot even find the purchase record on file from where I bought the AppleCare warranty on it, so now I am stuck with what is now basically a paperweight. What should I do?
iPod touch, iOS 4
And would this be the same iPod with the fried battery?

HT201210 Iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode and wont restore , keep getting apple update server not available try later but I have and it keeps saying the same thing, all i did to get in this mess was try to update tyhe phone software , so this is an APPLE

What next any ideas, thanks?

Hi there...
Actually I was stuck with this situation yesterday. Here is what I did to overcome this issue: I hope it helps.
To start with, here are few things to you should make sure of:
1- You have the latest version of iTunes. You may try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
2-Restart your Windows.
If still no luck, try editing the Hosts file, here is how;
1- click on RUN then copy and paste the following:
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2- look for gs.apple.com
3- if there are numbers infront of it just delete them or just type # before the numbers.
4- Save the file and try restoring again.
Note: you should have administror access to edit the Hostes file.
put your iphone in DFU mode before restoring.
I hope this helps. It did for me

My iPhone 4 will not power on. When connected to iTunes via my computer, it is recognized and shows fully charged battery. Pressing and holding the sleep/wake button does nothing; just a black screen. Any suggestions?

Only way is to bring it to the Apple Store and use the warranty if it hasn't expired

HT4061 My iPhone 4 does will not power up once I have turned it off. When I try to charge it in the off position I only get "pinging". Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what is the remedy?

My iPhone 4 does not/will not power up once I have turned it off. When I try to charge it in the off position, the screen remains black and I only get continuous pinging tones. Has anyone had this problem? If so, what is the remedy?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

I've had my iPhone 5 for almost a year now, it will randomly power down and some of my apps like my safari will either not load or load very slowly. How do I fix this?

I've been having this issue for a few days and I don't know wether or not I should just get a new phone or if i can fix it

Hello there, babydoll1022.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting the unexpected power off issue you're describing:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Particularly:
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.
Additionally, this article on multitasking offers some good information and steps for troubleshooting the issues with applications:

If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:

Hello ABrosz
If you are not able to get your iPhone to power on, try to reset it by holding the Sleep/wake button and Home button at the same time for about 10 seconds and see if it turns on. Check out the articles below to troubleshoot your iPhone further.
