IPhone 3GS just went dead - what do I do?

It's not responding to plugging it in to the wall or Mac. Is the battery dead? How do I fix it?

Try a reset.

    My 6 mo old iPhone 4S just went dead tonight.  Anyone know what could be wrong?

    Battery? Use wall charger and charge for half an hour.
    Next up: Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
    Note: you will not lose anything.

  • HT201412 my Iphone 4 just went dead without warning and is not getting started even after putting it up for charging. Any Suggestions guys???

    Hi
    I have an Iphone4 and i am living in SA.
    Today in the morning, my Iphone4 just went dead without any warning.
    It is in this dead mode even after i tried charging it.
    If i connect it to itunes, i find that the itunes is unable to detect the iphone.
    And to my disappointment, i believe there is no apple store in SA.
    Any suggestion guys???????

    Try a reset:
    - hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time for atleast 15 seconds
    - if you see the Apple logo appear rlease both buttons
    If that fails try charging the iPhone while plugged into the wall adaptor and also while plugged into the computer. Try cahrging both ways for atleast 15-20 minutes. Also while its plugged into the computer check and see if the computer or iTunes will recognise that the iPhone is connected.

    I had the same problem and tried your solution.  It worked!!!  Yay!!!  You have to hold the buttons down for a while.  I was about to give up when the apple logo turned on.  I'm so glad.  I was really bummed when I went to wake my phone up and nothing happened.  I wonder why it did that though.  I hadn't dropped it or anything.

  • What do I do if my iPhone 3GS just went black and won't turn back on or anything?

    it has the latest update and everything.
    i was snapchatting my friends, hit the home button and the whole phone went black and won't turn back on

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds. If still nothing, connect to Wall Charger and Reset, this can sometimes take about 20 seconds while on charger.

  • My Iphone 4 battery went dead what can I do?

    Forgot my iPhone at home when I went on holidays. When I cam back my battery is dead and wish to know what can I do to recharge it, I have a charger and a computer? Can you help please.

    Do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.

  • I just had a crash or something my iphone 3gs just went all funny colored then rebooted ??? Help

    I was just browsing a bearing website for skate bearings when my phones like popped , then came up with a funny coulored weird screen and re booted ? Is that a virus a crash or what ? Now my phone lags heeaapss! HELP

    You mean take the cover off of the iPhone, to look inside?  I'd recommend against it.  Even with warranty expired, you might qualify for an out-of-warranty service, which for 3GS is $149.
    Other than that, any repair/service options are going to cost money.  You might want to see if a wireless carrier will let you get a new contract & phone.
    Out of curiousity, you're just using at as, basically, an iPod Touch, if there's no cell provider?  Did I understand that correctly?

  • My Iphone 4S just went dead.....

    ....I did not power it off. Now it won't turn, I just have a black screen. What can I do?

    This happened on my wifes new iPhone 4S a couple days after she got it.  I tried the reset trick of holding the Home button on the front of the phone and the Power Button on the top of the phone down at the same time just as you normally would to do a soft restart.  And nothing happened.
    I held the buttons down for about20 seconds which should have enough to reset the phone.  I did some googling and searching here on the support pages and came across one other messge from a person that had the same problem who indicated that they had to hold the buttons down for what seemed like an exceptionally long time before the phone responded and came back to life.
    I tried it again and this time held the buttons down for over 60 seconds and thankfully the phone came back on and no data was lost. 
    Give it a try and hold the buttons down until something happens.  If it won't come back on at all doing this I would suggest exchanging it for a new one.

    This has happend to my ipod once...
    did u keep it somewhere so tightly pressed??
    that might be a reason. Don't worry it will turn on after some time, try connecting it to your computer or charger and see if it helps!!...

    Try resetting your iPhone. If that doesn't work, try to restore the iPhone.

    Hey, as far as I know you need a sim card to activate after a restore
    It however does not have to be a fully working sim card, just not blocked or with a pass code, I repair/refurb. some iPhones and can only advise to try and get a free sim card from a provider supported on your phone and activate it with this,  or maybe someone can lend you theirs for 5 mins?
    To clarify, I have heard there are ways around this, but they sound dubious.
