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.

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.

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

You iPhone 5 has a full 1 year Warranty with Apple, whether you have AppleCare or not. To turn iPhone ON, connect to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, iPhone may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start. This can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

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.

All fotos with my iphone 3gs are too dark what can I do?

all fotos with my iphone are too dark. I can optimize them with picasa form google, but that is boring. Can I somehow adjust the iphone?

Check the Audio settings in Captivate. You may need to increase the gain value.
Is this a USB microphone?

I synced my new ipad air with iTunes on my pc to set up and now my ipad will not turn on what should I do?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of these.
