My new Iphone 4s went black, and will not do anything. It was never dropped or anything like that. Any ideas?

My iphone 4S went black and will not do anything. It was in my hand when it happened. It is 14 days hold, and has not had nay other problems. Anyone know whats up?

Is the phone charged? Did you try connecting it to a charger? Try a reset of the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release, ignoring the slide to power off screen if it appears. This will restart the phone and will not have any affect on your data. See if that takes care of it.

My Iphone 4 went black and will not turn back on and my sleep button is stuck

I have had two Iphone 4 phones and they both have randomly gone black and not come back on. On my current phone my sleep button is jammed so any advice i have seen from people doesnt work for me. I am in the middle of planning a wedding and need help desperately

Charge with the mains charger for 15 minutes, then disconnect and hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

My iphone screen went black and wont turn back on .. HELP

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your phone may be out of battery or may have shut down due to overheating.
Try plugging it into its charger. If an empty battery with a charging symbol appears, you're good. Just let it charge for a few minutes.
If you were using your phone excessively and it is extremely hot, wait until it cools down then turn it on again.

Screen went black and nothing will turn it on

The screen on my iPhone 4S went black this morning after a call and will not turn back on. I know the phone is charged and on because I can hear every text, email, reminder, etc that comes through but the screen is completely black. I've tried powering it off and back on, only know that happens because it vibrates. I've also tried a hard reset; home & off button simultaneously. I know it comes back on because the long press to get Siri gives me the usual ding. However, Siri doesn't respond to anything I say and the end ding seems to come more quickly.
I'm eligible for an upgrade on my phone and have insurance, but just found out it's a $199 deductible through Verizon's carrier! NOT happy about that since I've been paying $12/month for insurance for 15+ months!
Any ideas??? Help please!
Thanks
Dani

Hey browncub,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you have a solid black screen on the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
Reset your device while it's plugged in.
If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?

My iphone 4 screen went black and will not come back on, the screen lights up but is still black and will not show anything on the screen, it still vibrates though. help

my iphone 4 screen went black and will not show anything on it, the phone still vibrates and lights up but the screen is black, HELP.

I have a similar problem. I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS. After completing the process the phone never restarted. The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon. I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone. The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads. iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does. I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery. This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help. A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged. She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on. I don't think it is a battery issue. The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone. Repairing it was out of the question. At this point the phone is completely useless. Thanks in advance for the help.

Iphone 4s screen went black and wont turn on

Iphone 4s screen went black and wont turn on... what do I do?

Does the Vibrate/Mute switch make the iPhone vibrate? Does iTunes on computer recognize the iPhone? If not, then possibly the battery is faulty or worse. If yes, then the LCD Display is not working, possibly the connector came loose and simply needs to be pressed down to the logic board. Of the LCD Display is faulty and the front screen assembly needs to be replaced. Or worse. If there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, Replacement iPhone is $199 or battery is $80 with Apple.

IPhone 4S went black, keeps vibrating when plugged in

My iPhone 4S went black, I tried to do a reset, held home and power button, but did not work. I plugged it in, and still nothing except it continues to vibrate every 3 seconds. I tried a reset while plugged in and nothing, screen stays black and it just vibrates. As soon as I unplug it the vibration stops.
I figure I'll go into Verizon tomorrow, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I just clicked both the home button and the lock one at the same time and it went to voice control then turned off and turned back on. Might not work for everyone though

If your phone is not covered by the warranty anymore, Apple will replace it for a new device, same model and size, if you are willing to pay the service fee.
If you decide to get a 3rd party company to do the repair, Apple will not service your phone anymore after that.

and nothing has happened- no water- no dropp

Did you run it completely out of battery? If so it might take up to ten minutes for it to come back to life and look like it is charging. Keep it on the charger for at least an hour before trying to sync back to the computer.

"Hard" reset - no such thing. Do you mean phone Reset - pressing both home and sleep/wake buttons for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears?
Charge phone with AC adaptor for at least 30 minuntes, then if not on, do the reset. If no signs of life with a reset, your phone is DOA and needs replacement.

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
