a few days ago my phone starting going off its self. it would switch off, turn back on and with in 30 seconds is switched off again. i put it on charge and left it for the whole day, when i went back to it it was only showing the start up screen (apple logo) then going off again and when i took it off charge it done nothing and the screen stayed black. now my phone will not respond to anything. i have tried every reset method and none have worked. i have also tried connecting it to the computer and tried a reset through itunes but it will not connect to itunes. can anyone help me?

Hello Molly,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.
I recommend following these steps 2-6 below for an issue like the one you described:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:
