IPhone 4 turned off and will not turn back on...

I have had my iPhone 4 for around 4 months now and about two weeks ago my sleep button stopped working, so I just started using the function where you can lock your phone on screen. Well, earlier my phone had around 10% battery life left, but when I went to plug it up to charge it was already dead... So I just second guessed myself and thought I might have thought it was lower on battery life than I thought and plugged it up. It has been about thirty minutes since when I plugged it in and it has yet to turn on... I did research and everyone has suggested the manual reset, but to do that I need my sleep button, which is stuck and broken...
Does anyone have any advice on what I could do? I do not want to have to take it to an apple store, but if that is the only way, I will. Thanks for any help you can provide!

I didn't drop it, I have taken extremely good care of my phone. One day the button started "sticking" when I locked it.... and then it just didn't "click" or pop back up anymore. The button wasn't even a problem because I started using the Assistive Touch function and could easily lock my phone on screen. However, today my phone just turned off out of no where, and I have had it plugged up into different chargers and different outlets and still none of them have made my phone turn on....
Also, do you know if I went to either the apple store or Verizon, would I be able to get my contacts/files, since I had not backed up my phone in awhile before this ordeal happened...
Thank you for you help!

    The iPhone I got yesterday turned off and will not turn back on.

    Is it charged? If so try a reset 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.  If it's not charged, charge it via a wall socket for a least 30 minutes then try the reset again.

  • My IPhone shut off and will not turn back on!!!!

    SO here's what happened,
    I was texting a friend and listening to music on my iphone... Then all of a sudden I get this pop up notification that says "This adaptor is not supported"
    I didnt have my phone plugged in and then all of a sudden it turned off and will not start back up.
    I tried the following:
    Charge my phone for an hour
    Pressed the sleep/power+home button for 20 seconds
    Pressed the home button and plugged it in my computer while doing so
    Now with that said, I need to know the following:
    Is there hope for my Phone?
    And if I have to replace it, can I go to my cell phone provider-ATT and have them replace it ( I have insurance on it) because the closest Apple store to me is 3 hours away.
    All the advice the better!

    SIDE NOTE!!!!!!!!!
    This phone does NOT have water damage and was working just fine until i had this problem

  • Iphone 4 turned off and will not come back on

    HAd 30% battery, phone just turned off and will not come back on.
    how would you recommend that I try turning the phone back on, yes I have to put the power back to it and it still will not turn on?

    Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

    Wine, were you charging over the USB Connection or AC Power?  We've found in our organization that at times not enough power is generated over USB to recharge it in situations like this...I quote from the email of a fellow technician that i just received today...
    I’ve had a couple of users up here bring their iPhones to me so dead that the phone was unresponsive, no matter what we did. One thing that many people do not realize is that the iPhone (iOS devices in general) have power management in them. The power management appears to be set up so that the device will not power on at all until the battery is at a certain minimum level. If the user will plug the device into the power adapter, not a USB port on a computer (laptops especially), and leave it for about an hour, maybe longer, the device will come back to life.
    The reason I say they have to use the power adapter is because the USB port is not high enough power to bring the charge up fast enough for the battery to come back out of “hibernation”. 
    Each time I have had the users do the power adapter plug in, and leave it for a couple of hours, the devices have come back to life
    Hope this helps

  • My phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help!

    my phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help! I have tried plugging it into wall unit and computer but my home button just doesnt do anything!

    It seems that year long delay from having your lock button repaired has finally caught up to you.  Sounds like you have some damage to your phone that requires repair/replacement.  Take it to a Apple store or contact Apple Tech Support.

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart, usually about 10 seconds time. If still problem, connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.
