I-Phone 4s,Complete shut down,will not turn back on

Hi All.
Hope someone out there can help me with a issue i'm having with my i-phone 4s.
It is just over 6 months old,regulary runs hot,but that issue is fixed. Yesterday,went to charge it as it has about 10% battery left,& it kept on vibrating.
Within about 20 mins, The phone was fully charged,so i took it off charge & left it locked until this morning.
Still by the afternoon, After a small use of the phone it still had 100% battery. Now it has turned itself completely off, It will not connect or turn on via laptop & usb lead. When trying to power it via a direct charge from a plug socket, The apple sign comes up,then goes off,& will continue to do this.
I have tried to reset it by pressing the home button & the power button at the same time, Then a USB image comes up along with an arrow,pointing to the I-Tunes image,when i disconnect it to connect to the laptop it goes completely off.
I have checked &re-checked all plugs,cables etc,all are in working order.
I have an appointment with a genius at the Apple store,but thought i would try this route.
Please Help.

After attempting the reset, you received the message to restore the device. If after connecting to the computer and trying a reset again to get the device started and it will not so that you can restore, I suggest keeping the Genius appointment and have the hardware checked. This will be your best route rather than here at the forum.

IBook will suddenly shut down and not turn back on

My iBook (apporx. 5 yrs. old) will suddenly shut down while I'm working and not back on. Most of the time after it's been turned off for days it won't turn back on, although it's plugged in and the battery is charged 100%. But on the occations it does power up, everything works properly. Could my battery be completly shot?
iBook Mac OS 9.0.x

I too have that problem, but since apple replaced my battery for free, it still does that. I once heard that once your iBook reaches a certain temperature, it will just turn off the screen. usually when it happens to me, I just restart my machine the old way (control-apple-power), but it isn't so good either from what I understand! it is a bad way to work, but until apple fixes the bug, we'll just have to live!
(ps) is there any reason you still run os 9 (cause it is officially discontinued as of 2004)? you should be able to purchase mac OS X (10.2 or 10.3) from ebay or your local mac repair shop (we fix macs in palo alto, ca probably sells it still) I just wanted to inform you of this since you obviously had no idea!

Mac-Pro shut down and not turn back on.

Hi,
Just a moment ago, my Mac-Pro prompted a message that I hold the shutdown button till the system turn off. To my surprise, I did not manage to start the system, again. When I try to turn on the system an alarm sound and the screen was blank.
Please, advice what I should do to get it back to life.
Thanks in advance.

Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

My i-Phone has shut down - will not do anything!! What's wrong.

My i-phone has shut down - will not do anything!! What's wrong??

This question really belongs in one of the iPhone forums. https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone
But... my iPhone acted like this once after I dropped it.
First, make sure the phone has some charge in the battery. Plug it in and let it charge for a while if you haven't already done that.
Then try doing a reset. To reset the phone press both the Home button (on the front of the phone) and the Sleep/Wake button (on the top of the phone) at the same time. Keep both buttons pressed for at least 10 seconds and see if the phone will restart. In my case the reset did the trick.
If that doesn't work you might see if anything else here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1 is useful. If you still have no luck try asking your question again in an iPhone forum above... or visit your local Apple Store.

Droid 2 Global Shut down and will not turn back on

My D2G shut down earlier today and will not turn back on. I was listening to music and it shut down in the middle of playing. If i plug it into a charger at first it does nothing (the charging light doesn't even come on), then after a while the backlight will come on, but nothing else happens. I have tried removing the battery. I've tried charging the phone for a few hours (in case the battery was dead) and still it will not power on. I don't even see the "M" logo screen when i try to power on.
Anybody have any ideas?

That's very upsetting when the device will not power on. It maybe hardware related so we may need to look at your replacement options. Is there any corrosion where the battery and device connect? Please try the alternative hard reset This will factory reset the device. Please make sure contacts are backed up prior to resetting. If you are still experiencing this issue please PM me and I will gladly further troubleshoot with you.
Thank you

My phone just shut off and will not turn back on but I do not want to loose all my stuff...please help!!

Please help - my phone shut down a few hours ago and will not turn back on....I am scared to reset (home and power button) because I do not want to loose any of my info, pictures, contacts, etc

first thing to do is plug it in and let it sit for a little while. if the battery was drained and you plug it in it will need to charge up a little bit before it will turn on.

IPod Touch 5th Gen shut down by itself, and will not turn back on?

I was just on the YouTube app when suddenly my iPod shut itself down, and the battery was well over 50%.
It will not turn back on, and when I plug it into the charger, nothing changes. Any suggestions?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before

MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before? I've only had this for about 3mos. I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

Hi S,
Did they have you try an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?

my phone shut off and will not turn back on

Try resetting the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If that does not work, plug it into a wall outlet for about 20 minutes then try a reset.
If it still will not turn on, take it to Apple.

Phone will not turn back on, error 27

     Hi, my iPhone 5c shut down randomly and will not turn back on. So, I put it into recovery mode, tried updating to 8.1.2 with iTunes like 10 times. It always gives me, "an unknown error occurred (27)" I really really don't want to return it to factory settings, because I'm an idiot and didn't back it up recently.
Specs:
OS X Yosemite
Version 10.10.1
Processor: 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3
Memory: 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
Not sure which version my iPhone is on, but I was trying to update it to 8.1.2.
     After going through this page, I went through the vast majority of troubleshooting on this page for error 27.
     If I need to go to an apple store to fix this, that's fine. I ultimately just don't want to restore it to factory settings.

If you went through the steps in the support document about the error, then the final step is Apple Support.
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
What can you see on the screen? Are you able to use the device? Is it just that you cannot update it? If you did put it into Recovery Mode as you indicated earlier, then you have already lost the data.
