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

  • HT1414 my iphone will not turn on. what should i do?

    Ive tried every step provided by apple but my original iphone will not turn on. what should i do?

    Well, if you've tried "every step", then there's nothing more to do.  Bring your phone into Apple.

  • My iPhone will not turn on, what should I do?

    My iPhone will not turn on, I press the power button and the screen stays black, it's been on charge for the past hour and nothing is happening still. This has never happened and I've had my iPhone for over a year. What should I do?

    Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • My iPhone will not back up, what should I do?

    My iPhone 5 will not back up. I have plugged it into the laptop several times but as I proceed to sync my phone, it gets to step 2, "Back Up", and stays on this, failing to back up. Cannot put anything onto my new phone as it is failing to back up, please HELP

  • My iphone will not charge . What should i do?

    My iphone wont charge... What should i do

    Try another cable, another outlet, see if the device is recognized on a computer. Try to narrow down the issue to see if it is the phone or something else.
    If you think it is hardware related, schedule an appointment at an ARS or call tech support. If you're out of warranty there will be an out of warranty replacement/repair cost

  • My lock button is broken and my iphone will not power back on when I charge it, how do I turn it on?

    My iphone will not power on when I plug it into charger in the wall, computer, or car. My lock button is broken and I do not know how to turn it back on. My phone did not die it just went black and has not been dropped, cracked, or gotten wet. What do I do?

    Normally one would do a reset, however without the lock button, which is the sleep/wake button, you cannot do a reset. You could always wait until the battery dies to see if it will start when plugged in, but the sleep/wake button is an integral part of the phone and needs to work to do a number of functions. I suggest that you make an appointment at the Genius Bar to get it fixed.

  • HT4061 my iphone will not turn on it blacked out and will not turn back on

    my iphone will not turn on what so ever

    Is it still charging? Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work,try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

    My Iphone Will No Longer Swipe What Should I Do?

    Hello there, ___Juicyyy.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting your issue:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
    If your device is experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, try the following steps:
    Restart your device
    Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
    If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
    If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see theService FAQ for your product.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • I upgraded my hard drive and my ipod no longer recognizes my computer.  It will not sync. What should I do?

    I upgraded my hard drive and my ipod no longer recognizes my computer.  It will not sync. What should I do?

    - First get iTunes to see the iPod:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - The transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For non-iTunes purchased music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPOd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

    Look at the power adapter connection on the MBP and make certain that it is clean and not discolored.
    Trya SMC reset:

  • I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do?

    I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do? do I just need a new screen or what? I'm freaking out here

    Don't freak out, just get over it. It's probably done.
    What should I do if I drop my phone in the toilet?
    Apple may offer you an refurbished iPhone in exchange for yours, for about half the cost of a new one.
    I wouldn't be too specific about just how it got wet

  • My imac will not turn over, what should I do

    my imac will not turn over, what should I do

    Just FYI,
    You are not addressing Apple here.
    People here who help troubleshoot and attempt to correctly answer technical questions in these Apple Support Communities are Apple users just like yourself.
    There are two initial things you can try.
    An NVRAM reset.
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information. The logic board battery helps retain NVRAM/PRAM settings when your computer is shut down.
    IF this fails to help reboot your iMac, you could try an SMC reset.
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Check back if neither one of these solves your iMac's issues.

    There's no 3.6.18, so there appears to be a glitch in the update checking. Or the message is not really from Firefox (malware site).

    My Mac will not download Lion, What should I do.

    What's installed on your computer? If you don't have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later then you cannot get Lion. If you already have Lion installed then you cannot re-download from the App Store until you have reinstalled Snow Leopard.
