IPhone 4 shuts off randomly, will only turn on after hard boot, then shuts back off within 10 minutes

My iphone 4 just had its 30 pin port replaced and also i believe the battery was just replaced. It will only turn on with a hard start (Holding the wake/sleep + Home) then within the next 10 minutes it shuts back off. I have been trying to recovery mode restore it and it keeps having the problem. I am about to finish another recovery restore. Ill update if this fixes it.

Whoever replaced the port and the battery made an unauthorized repair, as Apple never replaces parts (except for the battery). Whoever did it broke your phone. Take it back to them, as Apple will no longer touch it.

My iPhone 4G died and will not turn on with hard reset.

My iPhone 4G died and will not turn back on. I got an e-mail and then took a phone call. After ending the call I went to text, but nothing. Screen was black with no warning. I plugged it up on a charger and nothing. I tried a soft rest and a hard reset and still nothing. I have it plugged up to my computer and without it coming on it will not recognize it on iTunes to do a restore. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Is this fixable or should I write it off and replace the phone? It is 1yr and 1 month old.
Thanks,
John

It's been a day and no luck, so I guess I have to get a new battery?

It varies. Some do not even last 1 year but others 4+ years.
Apple provides only 1year warranty.
Best.

After shutting down MacBook Pro, it will only turn on after changing power outlets

The last few times i have manually shut down my macbook, and attempted to turn it back on several hours later, it wont turn on again. The battery level is fine, I've tried with and without battery connection, and I have reset the PRAM and SMC on the keyboard, but it still wont turn on.
SOLUTION:
The only way it WILL turn on is if I change the charger and move it onto to another powerboard.
It can't be the power outlet as both say that the computer is charging.
It also can't be the power outlet as this has happened at home as well as at uni.
Any ideas why it might be doing this and what I can do about it (other than never turning it off) would be helpful.
The rest of the computer runs fine.

I tried those already, did not work.
I did how ever remove the command key and wiped it down and it turns on perfectly!
but now the keyboard keys seem to be out of place or something. For example it makes a "ping" sound when i hit some of them, when i hit function or control it puts the letter Z.
Any input would be great!

My Mid 2009 Macbook pro (Just purchased) will not turn on after hard drive change and ram upgrade

So i purchased a mid 2009 Macbook Pro from a guy with 4 gb of ram and 250gb hard drive. It worked perfectly fine when i booted it with his hard drive and ram installed.
I spilled beer in my old computer (late 2009 15" 500gb hard drive and 8gb ram) but took the hard drive to get tested and it worked fine. i later found out it was from a 2010.
Like an idiot i assumed the pro i just purchased would be able to handle the same upgrades that were in my old computer so i threw in the 500gb hard drive (2010) and the 8gb of ram.
The thing booted up fine, just a bit slow which i chalked up to my hard drive sitting unplugged for a long time.
After about 3 minutes it crashed on me. Confused i replaced the 4gb of original ram back into it. (the 8gb ram was pny i bought from ebay so i thought it could be that) It decided not to turn on or show any lights on the front except for the battery meter.
After this i replaced the original hard drive and still NO LUCK!! im really mad because i am in desperate need of the information on my original 500gb hard drive and im afraid i have destroyed 2 computers and about $1K worth of cash out the window.
HELP please enlighten me on what i have done and if the situation can be fixed.

UPDATE: Problem solved with the old hard drive in it, Now the less pressing issue:
Will the computer run my 500gb hard drive with all my information on it? I need to forward a resume and it is on that hard drive.

My iphone 5 completely shut off and will not turn on nor is it being recognized by itunes.

Hi,
I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 to check it out. Being in beta, I was already aware of all the bugs that were going to be happening. After much frustration, I decided to downgrade bake to iOS 7.1.1. While I was doing this, my iPhone completely shut off, it will not turn back on even when I plug it into a wall charger or the computer, and iTunes is not recognizing it either. Is there any other solutions to this problem? Please help! Thanks

first: why did you download the iOS Beta 8? If you are a developer, go to the Apple Developers website and check what they can do for your case.
second: setup an appointment to a Genius Bar for service.

Tried to upgrade os4 to os7 but could not due to "find my iphone" still turned on.
Could not turn it off at that stage so set up as new iphone. Now icloud will only accept past id email address and password which i no longer have,
but itunes on my phone has my correct current id and password. I need to restore my back up from itunes, i did not use icloud.
Any help please.
I did try yesterday but did not realise at that time that itunes had correct apple id. Hopefully this is a good thing!

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I have looked at icloud.com/find numerous times and my iPad is not showing at all (see picture below). As I said I did turn off 'Find My iPhone' on my iPad and then erase all settings and data before taking it to the repair centre.
The gentleman at the repair centre said that the device won't restore because "Apple thinks that 'Find My iPhone' is still turned on" (I'm repeating what he said).

HT4623 My iPhone 4 shut off and will not turn on. My home button does not work. Any suggestions?

My iPhone 4 worked fine last night. When I woke up this morning, it had shut off and will not turn back on. I looked up the HOME+SLEEP key solutions, but my home button does not work. Any suggestions?

Try a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

HT4993 My iPhone 4s has tured off and will not turn back on I have only had it a week it has been in the Otter box case the entire time

My iPhone 4s has tured off and will not turn back on I have only had it a week it has been in the Otter box case the entire time. What do I do to get my phone back on??????

You can try to press the home button and power button and hold them for around 15-20 seconds. This will perform a soft reset similar to pulling the battery. If that doesn't help you may need to restore it.

My iPhone was 100% charged. Mysteriously shut off and will not turn back on. Help!!!

My 1 week old iPhone 4s was charged 100%. Worked perfectly one minute, the next it had shut itself off and will not turn back on. I tried putting it on the charger with no change. I hit the power button on top, nothing. I've tried everything is it just dead?

Try leaving it plugged in for at least 10 minutes. Then try to do a hard reset of the device: Hold the Power button and the home button until you see the Apple Logo... may hold for at least 10 seconds if you don't see the Apple Logo popup.
If that doesn't work force recovery mode.
Press and hold the home button and connect the phone to your computer with iTunes open.
iTunes should see the phone in recovery mode and allow you to restore it.
If it still does not work, the phone may need service at this point. Call Apple Care or setup an Genius Bar appointment at a Apple Retail Store.

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes it may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.
