HT4623 iPhone 4s power lockout--won't power up or turn on

I am traveling and started to notice that when using Siri earlier today that she would talk faster and higher pitched at the end of her statement (think Alvin and the Chipmunks). Then I started to notice my battery was staying at 1% and regardless how long it was plugged up (in car, house, on computer, etc) it never would get better. I thought turning it off to let it "reset" and restart was a good idea, but now to my horror I can not get the phone to come back on at all. It just keeps showing the redlined battery icon with a lightning bolt under it and refuses to wake up. Please help. I am traveling hundreds of miles from home and can't access my usual iTunes (not that the phone would be recognized by the computer cause the hotel computer isn't finding it either). How in the world can this be fixed? This phone is not even two months old now.

By the way, the hard reset with home button and power button holding down does nothing except make the battery/lightning icon flash off then back on (I even held it almost one minute once).

HT4623 iphone wont power up 4gs

iphone wont power up

I had a similar problem with my IPhone4. I plugged it in to charge and it turned itself off and would not restart.
I took it to a genius bar but they couldn't get it to restart and were going to charge me for an exchange as it was out of warranty.
I tried on and off, lots and lots of times to reset it and after 4 days it suddenly restarted but with a very low battery warning. I then charged it up and managed to get it working again, although it shut itself down a few more times over the next couple of days it and I had to reset it. The last time was very strange - I was listening to music when the phone suddenly started to vibrate for several seconds as if it was receiving an incoming call and locked up. I had to do another forced reset to get it to stop vibrating.
Since then the phone has been working completely normally.
This was over three weeks ago.
I think it was a software issue and something to do with ICloud.
Hope this helps

HT4623 Iphone 5 power problem

Tried everything and cannot power iphone5 up.

Charging for 30 minutes, holding down power button, holding down power and home button for at least one minute, connecting to computer. Unfortunately, when trying to connect to computer, the computer does not recognize it like it does when normally connected. I checked the USB port with my Ipad, which my computer recognizes. I had this problem before a couple of times, and the power/home hold always worked. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Iphone 4 power button is stuck down and iphone won't turn on

My iPhone 4 power button is stuck down, and it won't come back up. The next best part is, my phone is either off or dead i don't know which, and i plug it into my computer/wall charger and nothing happens.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Rand new iPhone 5s black, dead, won't power up after ios 7 upgrade...held down top button, held down home button...dead. Was fully charged, working fine tell said yes to upgrade. HELP!!!

Brand new iPhone 5s dead, black won't come on after ios update...is fully charged, was working fine till said yes to upgrade. Did not watch process beyond seeing Apple logo appear, left it alone, came back, dead. Tried holding top button, tried home button, nothing...HELP!!!

If iTunes does not recognize your iPhone even if it’s plugged in, you may need to put it into DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. If you have to put the device in DFU mode, you will most likely be unable to back it up.
Hold Power button for 3 seconds and then the Power and Home together for 10 seconds (exactly).
Release Power but keep holding home until the your iPhone shows up in iTunes.

I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up.

I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up. It goes to the grey Apple screen and just sits there loud as can be. Help! Please keep in mind I've not done anything like this before and am going to need a little hand-holding. Thanks in advance.

Hi. Don't worry it's nothing serious. Insert the Instal Disc (Snow Leopard) and press the C button while turning on the computer. Once you see the desktop, go to Utility and choose Disk Utility. Select the Macintosh Partition on the left window pane and then click on Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions on the bottom right corner. Wait for both processes to finish. Click on the Apple icon (top left corner) and choose quit. Your computer should restart. See if it reboots normally. If not you can always reinstall the OS following the same steps. Good luck!
