Iphone 3G will not switch on, the battery went flat tried charging no response.

Hi there,
My iphone 3g is two years and i never have had any problems with it, my battery run completely flat yesterday ( this is probably the 4th occasion i have ever done this) normally when i see the message of 20% battery left I put my phone onto charge.
So I plugged the charger in and the red battery did not show nor did the responsive noise sound when you charge.  The charger is in full working order as I tested it with my hubbys charger.  I left it on charge for about half an hour still nothing ( I know some times its take a while as the battery needs to get a bit charge to operate.
I tried turning in on from the top and also tried holding the top and the bottom button to get the apple sign still nothing?? 
I tried calling my phone from another phone and it rung out and didn't go straight to answering machine ( which this may of happened if the battery was totally dead) Although my actual phone did not ring I tried turning the volume up and making sure the ringer was on to see if it would ring out but nothing. 
I then decided to connect to itunes to see if it would recognise if the phone was switched on or off! it recognised it was switched on as it was asking for my passcode.. so i tried entering it on the blank screen of my phone but no joy!
Has this happeneed to anyone else??  I will go to the apple store this weekend dose anyone know if this is a problem that be solved and also any idea whether apple will repair it, any ideas on costs ETC...
Any help is gratefully received
Kind Regards

Are you SURE the battery has power? If possible try plugging the phone into a wall outlet with a different chord. Maybe the chord is bad?

  • My iphone 4s will not switch to the wide screen when I turn my phone sideways from an upright position, does anyone have any suggestions to get this feature working again? Thanks.

    Is there an on or off button for this feature, as the screen on my phone will not switch from upright to the lengthened screen when I turn the phone sideways. My phone is very new, just got it beginning of July of this year (2012). Has this happened to anyone?
    Thanks

  • IPod Touch used until battery went flat, starts charging and now it won't stop resetting itself (Apple screen). :(

    I have an iPod Touch, fairly old (think it's 3rd gen, has no camera). I used it today until the battery went flat, tried charging it as I normally do and now it's stuck as if it's having the home and off buttons pressed all the time... It keeps rebooting and always just stays to the Apple screen basically.
    Tried connecting to iTunes, shows up like it's syncing but, I can't select it to do anything.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    - Try restoring the iPOd.
    To allow the restore try:
    - a reset.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Place the iPod in Recovery Mode
    - Placing in DFU mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - Let the batter fully drain. After charging fro at least an hour try again.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iphone 4 will not switch on and i have Press the sleep/wake button

    My iphone 4 will not switch on and i have Press the sleep/wake button for more than 20secs. i have also connected the iphone to Itunes but the computer or itunes doesnt recongise the phone is connected. HELP

    If it isn't responding to any of those steps it might prove difficult to extract data from the phone.
    So again your best bet may be the Apple Store, they would be able to help retrieve it I expect.

    Well I deleted the Facebook app and reinstalled the latest version to try to correct the issue and it still didnt work. I had changed a bunch of settings earlier to try and fix it and it worked for the video to be landscape but as soon as I closed out of the app and re-opened it then it quit working.

    Yes, your battery is likely toast and in need of replacement.  Not much else for troubleshooting here.  Sorry.

    Hi there Graham!
    I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
    Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

    Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

    My 13.3" macbook pro will not power up.The battery indicator light does not come on.The Mag safe charging light flickers green and red dimly.I had a cell phone connected to the USB port.

    This didn't work for me, so I did a bit of searching and TONS of pages later in google, I found an answer. Here are the steps for people who also were in my situation:
    1. Take off bottom case
    2. Unplug battery - blurry image here: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/03cC79r5Dx4/0.jpg
    3. Press and hold power button for 5 seconds
    4. Plug a charger in, and it should start booting up
    5. After shutting down again, reconnect the battery and close the case up
    6. It works! (hopefully, if you guys had the same situation I did)

  • Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature.

    Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature. What is the issue?

    It won't recognise it at all, but luckily I backed up very recently.
    I've booked an appointment with an Apple store who promise a working iPhone within 10 minutes of your appointment, whether fixed or a brand new iPhone.
    Thank you both for your suggestions. I'll leave the question unanswered incase people have any other suggestions or similar issues.
    Cheers.

  • HT1386 My iPhone 4S will not sync with the music I have selected in iTunes.  Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way to fix it.

    My iPhone 4S will not sync with the music I have selected in iTunes.  Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way to fix it.

    Hi,
    Setting up syncing
    Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true: 
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    Hope this helps
