My iPhone 4S wont turn on, died after charging it to 100%

I have an iPhone 4S with recently updated iOS 7. Today I charged my phone to 100% and went out to watch football. When going to unlock it the image on the screen said my phone was dead and I needed to plug it in. It often does this but comes around after you plug it in for a minute. Today after 20 minutes on my radio it still said it was dead. I plugged it into the wall for a little bit but still nothing. After that I held the home button and lock button down for over 30 seconds and nothing happened. I plugged it into my computer with iTunes and my computer did not even register my phone. After an hour of sitting around watching football with it plugged into my laptop it looked like it was coming around when the white apple icon popped up, followed by the white spinning circle like it was turning on. It vibrated and still had the white circle spinning until it went blank again, right back where I started. Nothing has happened since. Does anybody know what else I can do?

I need help on my Iphone 3gs wont turn on

Hello, I need help on my iphone 3gs won't turn on. I was travel to Asian when I charge my iphone with the USB Power Adapter about 10-20 mins and then when I check on how many percent on battery then I hear sound on the adapter. I think is shock circuit on the Power Adapter then my iphone shut down. I try to turn on but it won't turn on.when I try used another charge but still don't work. What should I do.

You either pay Apple to do it (usually you will get a replacement refurbished phone). Make sure to BACK IT UP first before taking it in. Plug into a computer that has the latest iTunes, do a sync and confirm the existence of the backup in iTunes / Preferences / Devices. If they give you a replacement, plug it back into the same computer and do a Restore to recover your stuff.
Else, DIY! i3G's are relatively easy to dismember and replace the battery. Parts and howto: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPhone_3GS

My Iphone 5 wont turn on, so the battery/screen/charger/LEDpanel have been replaced and still it wont turn on. HELP?

My iPhone 5 randomly turned off, so I thought it needed charging. It still didn't turn on which then lead to me replacing the charger. After this didn't work I got the screen, LED panel and battery replaced. The phone still wont turn on
So now after paying for all this, it makes me feel like the iPhone was just a waste of money, if anyone has experienced anything similar.. PLEASE HELP?

Obviously i would not know about your mate, likely he us doing his best.
Apple might not sell parts, try getting bits for a Sinclair C5. but many still run around including two of mine.
many genuine repair guys buy old even, faulty, broken even brand new phones just for bits, many sold on auction sites, the seller likely putting the funds back into a new or working second hand unit.
guys, its a bit off knocking them without knowing the individual first and at least thinking first.
Your handset suddenly stopped, don't mean the whole brand or model range is rubbish, kack happens when you have high volume items with millions of transistors inside, just take one. It might have got, condensation - even in your pocket unless you don't sweat (look at the detectors), dropped hard causing a fracture, dropping soft finished it off and now its failed. All conjecture so best shot is wait for the appointment, get advice and have it checked out.
At least Apple have these help centres.

Dead end? Iphone 3gs wont turn on, home button is broken

Hi! I have my iPhone 3gs for about 3 years now, working flawless. Last night I had my iphone on low battery until eventually it died. I connected it about 30 mins later to my charger, but after a hour I noticed it just won't react! I tried four other chargers that are compatible and none seemed to work. So I tried maybe to do a DFU mode solution, but my home button is broken so I can't do it manually. It's possible as a software in the PC..But the catch is my PC wont recognize my phone...:P
This looks like a complete dead end! Do people here have any other solution to this? Else...I'm afraid I might be needing to get a new phone. :/

You can probably get the home button fixed (and maybe a new battery) at a local repair shop. Else, purchase a new phone.

IPhone 3gs wont turn back on once it goes into sleep mode!

2 days ago my iPhone 3gs (OS 6.0.1) has gone completely wacko on me and i'm completely frustrated! I have my phone set to have the screen shut off after 5 minutes. Usually, to just reaccess the phone I just simply hit the home button. Now, if I let it go into sleep mode, the phone WILL NOT come back on! I went online and did some research, and it suggested holding the home button and the sleep button for 10 seconds to get it to come back on. It works most times, but sometimes it takes a few tries to get it to come back on, and when it does come back on it takes forever to load up. But the whole thing happens all over again when it goes into sleep mode. My phone is fine as long as I set it to never go into sleep mode, but it is killing my battery. I need to be able to put it into sleep mode as I have to be able to go all day without charging it at my job. PLEASE help...I don't know what's going on with it. I have never done anything to it (jailbreaking, illegal stuff, etc.) and I do all the updates that it asks to do.
Please please help!
Jennifer.

Iphone 3gs wont turn on PLEASE HELP

Okay so a few hours ago I tripped and fell on some wooden stairs with my iphone in my pocket. Afterwords I tried to listen to some music and it wouldn't turn on, I tried resetting it and plugging it into a charger but that didn't help. It has no cracks or dents in it and its only two months old. Is there anything else I can try before calling up apple or bringing it into them? Thanks

Iphone 3GS wont turn on, what can i do?

My battery was on 5% battery life yesterday afternoon. The battery died before I had a chance to go charge it. Now it won't turn on at all. Its been more than 24 hours at this point. I have tried restarting it several times by holding the power and home buttons down at the same time, the apple logo comes on but nothing further happens. I left it to charge all night and nothing. I have connected it to my mac to try to reset it but it does not even recognize that my iphone is connected. Still nothing happens. Any suggestions are kindly welcomed and appreciated!

Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
