IPhone 4 turned off and won't turn back on.

My iphone was fully charged. It turned off by itself and it won't turn back on. I tried connecting it to my charger but it won't turn on. My lock button is broken so I can't hold the home + lock button to turn it back on. What can I do?

Get the lock button repaired. You need to reset the phone, which requires a functioning lock button.

My iphone 4 shuts off and won't come back on and sometimes when i send a text the other person gets a blank message. Just got this phone and really don't want to put up with a bunch of problems

I just got the i phone 4 on Friday and it has shut off and not come back on twice. I was able to get it to come on by holding the top button down for a few seconds but i don't want to have to do that. Also, i am having a problem with texting, i will send a text and the person on the other end says that I have sent a blank text. Just need to know if this is something that is going to continue because if so then I will take it back and get a Droid

Assuming the phone isn't jailbroken, the basic steps (as needed) are:
Restart phone (you already did this)
Reset phone
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
See appendix B of the User Guide for details
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
If your phone is jailbroken, this is the most frequent cause of the problems you described. Restoring could permanently brick the phone.
Note that your iOS is old and the current version is 4.2.8. It's odd that it wasn't updated when your activated your phone in iTunes, being that you got it last Friday.

IPhone 3G turns off and won't come back on unless plugged in

My iPhone 3G shut off and wouldn't come back on unless plugged into the charger after taking it off the charger it works for about 30 minutes then shuts off again and I have to plug it back in to get it to come back on. Anyone know what the problem could be?

15-r018dx display turns off and won't come back on

I have a HP 15-R018DX laptop that I just bought and when I close the display, it turns the display off and won't come back on when I flip it open again. I've already changed the Power Options so that the "what happens when you close the display" options are all set to "nothing happens". Despite that, each time I close the display and open it again, the display goes blank and stays blank, though the status LEDs on the left side tell me that the compuer is still on and not hibernated, etc.
The only way to return the display to normal is to push the power button (I have it set to hibernate when I push the power button) and then turn it back on again after it hibernates. Then, the display is illuminated again like normal. No amount of touching the touchpad, it's buttons, or keyboard keys will return the display to normal once it turns off after the lid is closed and re-opened. Any ideas on what's happening and how to make the display turn on when opening the display again? Thanks in advance!

I was also facing the same probs..

HT1339 After I disconnect from my PC, my iPod nano shuts off and won't come back on? How do I fix this?

When I disconnect from my PC, my nano shuts off and won't come back on. I have tried holding down both the On/Off and the Home buttons -- but nothing...

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After upgrading to mavericks my mac shut off and won't come back on

I upgraded to Mavericks and my 2013 macbook pro shut off and won't come back on. When I push the start button I can hear the chime and then my sleep light blinks really fast and then shuts off completely. All I get is a white screen with the loading circle just going around and around. I tried resetting the pram but that didn't work. Any ideas?

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X

Most likely a bad battery.

HT5538 Hubby's phone has switched itself off and won't switch back on. It has been charged but nothing works.

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.

My ipad 2 turned off and won't go back on .

My ipad 2 turned itself off while watching sky. I assumed the battery went but it was at 50 odd per cent while watching the ipad. I plugged it in to charge it up. It didn't charge for ages and when it did it only remained at 1%. The next day it finally went to 7% but it has turned itself off again and won't go back on. I have reset it on the ipad itself but my iTunes on the laptop doesn't recognise it. It flashes the apple logo as if it is turning on but that's it. Anyone any ideas? Is it completely gone? It didn't fall or drop or anything. Thanks

Start here and see if you can get iTunes to see the iPad agin. If you can, try restoring the device using iTunes.

IPhone 4 shut off and won't turn on

My iPhone just shut off today, and won't turn back on. I tried charging it up, but the batter charger doesn't even get warm, so it appears to NOT charge. I'll be trying to plug into iTunes next...but this does not look good for the phone. Any suggestions or has anyone gone through something like this?

Hold down sleep wake button and home button down for 18-20 sec to restart the phone.

My iPhone just shut off and won't turn back on

My iPhone 4 just automatically shut off and now will not turn back on. I have tried plugging it to the wall and into my laptop but nothing is working.

Connect iPhone to the Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

My iPhone 4s shut off and won't turn back on? My lock button is broken, so I can not reboot it.

As I said, my lock button has broken so I can not use that to reboot it. My iPhone was charging when it shut off, i locked it and walked away from my phone for a few seconds and when I came back to unlock it, it was completely unresponcive. I use my phone to talk to all my friends and listen to music, please help asap. Also, I tried plugging it into my computer and it just won't do anything. Is my iPhone literally just, dead?

You can try and let the phone sit for a period and then try connecting it again to the power source. If that doesn't work, I cannot think of another solution. The only way to reset the phone in a case such as this is to old the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. However, since you say the sleep/wake button doesn't work, then there is no alternative. I'm puzzled though when you say that you locked the phone and walked away. If the lock button doesn't work, how did you do that?
