Iphone 4 switched itself off and hasn't returned despite reset tips
I have plugged into the mains and the apple sign comes on, then it says data activation, so I click ok, then it says plug into itunes.
By the time I have plugged into lap top the message has disappeared. Itunes doesn't recognise it.
If plugged into laptop, apple sign flciks on, then off and repeats. Again Itunes isn't detecting it.
Can anyone help?
I am in UK any idea how much a service costs as warranty is up ;( ?
All responses appreciated.
This happened to me yesterday. This probably isn't any use to you now, but for others with this question. This morning I took the back off of my phone, and I took the battery out and plugged it in to my laptop. It immediately lit up. We put the battery back in and restored it and it works better than ever. Not sure if this will work for all, but it worked for me!

My iphone switchs itself off and won't switch on again
Hey all, my iphone has taken to switching itself off and refusing to switch on again. If I leave it connected to my computer overnight it will usually start up again. What gives?
Perform a Reset...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Hello All, I bought an Iphone of eBay. It seemed fine until this morning when it switched itself off and now it won't come on unless it's plugged in. And even then it is asking that it needs to be activated, but it can't connect to iTunes
Try Recovery Mode... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

IPhone 4S switched itself off and wont come back on. Please help?
Hi,
My iPhone 4S has started switching itself off randomly over the last week but would then switch itself back on several minutes later by itself. However, last night it switched itself off and no matter what ive tried it wont come back on. Ive tried the home+power button, connected to itunes and not, connected to itunes with the home button pressed. I rang the Geek Squad as I have insurance and they could suggest anything more. Im loathed to take it back to the shop as all the sales assistant will do is send it off, give me a rubbish temporary phone/brick and it will take ages to come back. I would be grateful if anyone can help please?Hi, my phone eventually came back to life of its own accord the next day but with virtually no battery life even though I'd given it a full charge. After it came back on I plugged it in to be recharged but the back became very warm whilst the power drained quicker than usual after I unplugged it.
I took it to the Apple store later that day and thankfully the phone switched itself off again right in front of one of the Genius assistants. He couldn't diagnose the problem and so gave me a brand new handset straight away. Credit to Apple there and I'm so glad I didn't take it back to the car phone warehouse where I bought it from. They would have sent it away for tests for weeks.
I've had no problems with my new handset to date. -
What do I do if my iPhone just switched itself off and won't turn back on again? It does not even register power when I plug it in to my car or home charger or computer???
If you hold the home button and power button for about 10 seconds it will turn back on. I have had his issue 3 times but don't know what fixes it for good

My 3gs keeps switching itself off and when i turn it on, the date is set to 1st January 1970
I Have an Iphone 3gs that keeps switching itself off and when i turn it on, the date is set to 1st January 1970 :S ... many software resets and updates won't do any good .. repaired at the manufacturer twice for the same, and works till it happens again on it's own. When it was repaired, the fix was mentioned as a reset done for the device. I have a friend who is alse havng same issue.
can someone tell what is the reset that can be done to tr and do it from my end plzzz?Sounds like the battery is dead. Bu try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iPOd
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem your battery is very likely dead. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -

Hubby's phone has switched itself off and won't switch back on. As far as we know it's fully charged, can't check as got a blank screen but does buzz when charger is plugged in. Has been left on charge for quite some time. As you will gather, I am sending this on his behalf.
A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure. -
Lumia 830 switches itself off and then on!
My new Lumia has a gremlin. Every few days it will switch itself off and immediately on again. I notice there is no "goodbye" screen. Usually I am on the internet of using an app and the phone freezes and then goes off. When it switches on I have to set the clock again to the correct time. Kinda annoying for a brand new phone.
Thanks for sharing your Lumia 830 experience in Microsoft Mobile Community, prashantarora. If you're still experiencing the rebooting issue, consider trying the fixes given here: My phone does not work or respond as expected. Any update about the outcome will be appreciated. The content of the link is applicable regardless of your location. If you're no longer experiencing the said issue, that's great. Feel free to share how you made that happen.
Hi, seventeenAPG. Getting the phone work properly again is exactly what we like to happen. Thanks for sharing this good news with us. -
My iphone has switched itself off and will not turn on
Help!!!!, My I phone has switched itself off for no apparent reason today and now refuses to switch back on again!, hit has been working fine and is less than a year old.
Reset the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

My iPhone turned itself off and won't come on or charge, after I already restarted it once
My iPhone 5s has turned itself off and won't come on or charge again I have already restarted it by holding the on/off switch and home button and it come back on and was working fine, but after an couple of hours it's turned itself back off again!! And won't let me restart it again. I don't know what's caused it as it was working fine yesterday and I hadn't dropped it or gotten it wet, what else can I do??
A phone that is turned off wont receive calls. You could try to do a couple things: plug it in (even though it is fully charged), press and hold the power button down extra hard. Press and hold the power AND home buttons extra hard. Take it to the apple store.

Ipad switching itself off and on
I am having trouble with my ipad switching itself on and off-although now, it seems, I can't even turn it on.
thanks Diavonex-yes, it is charged..tried to do a restore, but it appears that it hasn't worked. Time will tell, but currently apple icon is showing on the device, and the bar below seems to be half way and at a standstill. Guess it hasn't switched off as yet-which may be a good sign.

My iphone4 switches itself off and wont switch back on until its plugged into the mains
Hi there, can someone help me please!?
My iphone4 white had updated ios 4.3.3 and it randomly switches itself off, has anyone else had the same problem?
It just goes to black screen and I cant manually switch it back on, only when I connect it to the mains does it come back on.
What's also really strange is that once its reset from the mains it resets the date to 01/01/1970 and the time to 01:05?
Hopefully someone out there can help!? MarkHi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!
