Iphone 3gs shut down and now wont switch on  help!!

My 18 month old iPhone 3GS won't turn on. I had the screen replaced in an Apple Store on Tuesday, and was advised to reset it, as a new phone, because it would cut off mid conversation.Which I did Tuesday, too, losing everything, because the advise was NOT to use the backup. (All the software was upto date as I checked before handing it over in Store).
This morning It won't turn on, and I know the battery isnt dead. I've tried simultaneously holding the on/off and home button for minutes at a time, it won't connect to iTunes, nor will it register in the charger. I've even loaded iTunes on to my husbands computer, and the phone is still not registering!
I've trawled the internet for advice and tried every suggestion I've found, but it's still just blank.
I need my phone, I can't get to the Apple Store til next week. Was my £80 new screen wasted money?
Here's hoping someone can help me.....thanks in advance
Niki

I'm guessing whoever installed your screen didn't install it properly.  I'd take it back to them.
You could try Recovery Mode... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • My iphone just shut off and now wont turn back on.. is stuck on the apple screen.

    my iphone 3gs is locked up...  just shut off in the middle of a text...  tries to turn it back on and it wont go past the aple screen??

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    If you can't do that, try Recovery Mode... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • When battery is empty my iphone 3GS shuts down and won't turn on for a day!

    Hi, I desperately need your help!
    When the battery on my iphone runs out, the device, naturally, turns off. But even though I plug it into my charger - nothing happens; the screen is blank and stays like that for some hours, even a day long. I then, of course, try everything - plug it into different sockets, laptop, try taking out the sim card - anything - just to wake it up somehow, but it doesn't react. Then miraculosly, it starts charging as usual - never on its own, but only when I re-plug it! And then it's as if nothing happened!
    Has anyone had this problem? Is there a reasonable explanation or should I reclaim my iphone?
    Thanxxx!

    Standard troubleshooting steps in the following order:
    1. Reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the apple logo, then release. Ignore the slide to power off.
    If no change, continue:
    2. Restore your phone from a backup, note: if the problem is related to corrupt data, while this will restore a fresh OS, it will also restore the problem.
    If no change, continue:
    3. Restore as a "new" phone in itunes & re-sync your content. All saved data will be lost.
    If no change, make an appointment at an Apple store.

  • My iphone just shut down and now i cannot turn it on, any suggestions?

    my iPhone will not turn on, is there anything I can do?

    Thank you! I tried this after I posted my question and it worked. I also tried this when my phone stopped working; however, my power button is jammed so I think it took a few tries to recognize.

  • My G700 randomly shut down and now wont start up.

    So I was playing DayZ and the performance was awful,usually quite fine and then suddenly it just died,without warning everything went black. I tried starting it up and the screen turned on with the Lenovo logo and then died, and has done ever since.
    I really don't know what to do...
    Edit:self resolved

    Hi Jezza93,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that your G700 Laptop is not booting to Windows and is not turning ON now. I suggest you to perform the Flee-Power and BIOS reset. Below are the steps to check and resolve the issue:
    Remove the battery and any other peripheral device connected to the computer.
    Hold the power button for 10-15 seconds and then connect only the AC Adapter and try to turn ON the computer.
    If the issue persists even after performing Flee Power then resetting BIOS to its defaults should resolve the issue
    Now access the BIOS menu press NOVO Button located beside the power button when the Lenovo logo appears on the screen while the computer is starting up.
    Then to reset the BIOS to its defaults click on “F9” Key and select YES.
    Now click on “F10” Key to save the changes that are done in BIOS, restart the computer and check if the issue is resolved.
    Hope this helps!!!
    Do post us back for further queries.
    Best Regards
    Shiva Kumar

  • Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery gets to 80%?  have installed new battery and nothing changes?

    Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery shows 80%.  a couple of months ago is shut down at 60% but has continually gotten worse.  this was before 5.0.  i took it to a repair man and he tried a used battery, a new battery, and the original battery.  nothing helped.  5.01 didnt help either.  What is my problem?

    Fully discharge the battery (till it shuts down and won't turn on) and then fully recharge it (100%).  This will recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

    Your only option is to connect your iPhone to your computer via USB (as the diagram indicates) and restore using iTunes.

  • HT4623 my iphone just shut down and wont come back on

    my iphone just shut down and wont come back on what could be the problem

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it my turn ON itself. If still OFF, then keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds time holding both buttons while on charger.
