HT201401 IPhone 4S will not power down- just resets.

Last couple weeks I haven't been able to power down my iPhone.
1) I press & hold the power button until the power off slider appears.
2) I slide the slider to power off.
3) iPhone displays the 'spinner' while shutting down.
4) iPhone goes blank for 500-1000 ms.
5) iPhone displays the white apple logo and reboots.
I first noticed this on a flight last week.

When USP charging cable is connected to both the live wall charger and iphone,
the iPhone will succesfully 'Slide to Power Off'.
When the USB cable is not connected the following:
1. Hold down power button until "Slide to power off appears".
2. Slide the slider.
3. Iphone gets the spinny wheel.
4. Screen goes dark for a second.
5. Apple logo then appears and the iphone eventually turns back on.
6. No Apps are installed on this 4S.
7. Restored on iTunes several times, No change.
8. Changed USB Cable, No change.
9. Cleaned Connector port w/ brand new, Clean, soft tootbrush, No change.
10. Blown clean air into the connetor, No change.
Any New developments / suggestions?????????????

  • IPhone 4 will not power on - just displays apple icon

    Please help: my Apple iPhone 4 will not power on. It only displays the apple icon. I already tried a hard reset where I pressed and held and power and home button for 10 seconds and it still won't power on

    Try restoring the iPhone from recovery mode.

  • HT201401 iPhone 4S will not power off.

    Phone will power back on by itself. Can not get it to stay off.

    Hello 7Milebch,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what I understand from your post is that your iPhone 4s is restarting on its own.  I definitely see how this is a frustrating experience, and I would also want this to be resolved.  I'm not sure of the steps you have taken in TS2802 already, but lets make sure to do steps 5-7 of this section of the article:
    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 LCIs and 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.

  • Iphone 4s has vertical lines all across the screen and will not power down unless it is charging. What is the problem here?

    My iphone 4s recently stopped turning on. I left it alone on the charger for a few days and now will power on just fine. However I have vertical lines going across the entire screen. I also noticed that it will not power down and stay off unless it is connected to the charger. Is this a hardware problem?

      Try to Reset your device. 
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

    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

    My iphone 4 will not power up. any suggestions to correct the problem?

    Plug it into the computer and start iTunes. Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for 10 seconds, then release the power button and continue to hold down the home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recovery mode has been detected. See if that works

  • Iphone 4s will not power on after ios 6.1 install

    iphone 4s will not power on after ios 6.1 install. Help

    This did not help the problem. History of problems that started 3 days ago before 6.1 update:
    Problems started with the phone dropping a call I was on. Then the screen had lines across it, then screen turned solid green.
    Powered off the iphone.
    Happened again 4 hours later. Dropped call then garbed screen. Powered off then back on all seemed okay.
    Applyed 6.1 yesterday in the morning. Phoned died completely last night. Plugged in over night and it came back up this morning.
    Phone is still within  1 year warranty. Should I just have Apple replace the phone (Warranty runs out in 2 weeks)

  • 2nd Gen Time Capsule - will not power up - just stopped working all of a sudden - I have tried other power outlets - I have tried pressing the reset button - no light

    2nd Gen Time Capsule - will not power up - just stopped working all of a sudden - I have tried other power outlets - I have tried pressing the reset button - no light

    The power supply is shot. But that it lasted even this long is the wonder.. not that it died.
    The TC runs too hot..
    Look on ebay for "Time Capsule power supply"
    You can get a replacement and fix it although the economics are not so good.. it is probably time for a new TC.
    If you can DIY it is really only a few dollars worth of capacitors that go bad.

  • IPad 3 will not power down

    iPad 3 will not power down. Also no information  of any kind is displayed in settings.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Iphone 4s will not shut down.  Constant reboot unless powered.  I have done a full restore (losing half my apps) that helped for a while but now back to the same problem

    My iphone 4s will not shut down?  Please help??

    Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.  Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

  • HT4061 My iphone 4 will not power on. What should I do?

    My Iphone 4 will not power on.  What steps should I take and in what order?

    Hi,
    Could you please answer these questions for me?
    - Is the phone charged (You never know...)
    - Have you recently dropped your phone?
    - Has your phone recently come into any conatct with water?
    Try charging it and then holding the Sleep button (The one on the top) and the home button at the same time for a few seconds and see if it does anything!
    If this doesn't work, try plugging it into your computer and see if you get any response from it, for example, if the computer reconizes the phone or not.
    We need to detirmine whether it is a fault with the display or if it is a technical problem in the phone (If you have dropped it or any water has gotten inside etc)
    Because it is an iPhone 4 I doubt you will have any warrenty on it now, so if it needs repairing I am afraid you will have to pay for it! You could either take it into apple or you could take it to a 3rd party phone repair company.
    Hope this helps =)
    Thanks
    Max
