IPhone 4 won't turn back on!

In the middle of a call my phone turned off on its own. I tried holding down the home & lock button at the same time for 10 seconds and nothing. I tried plugging it into the charger, nothing. I tried plugging it into the computer and it doesn't recognize the phone. Now what? Any help?

If the hard reboot trick you tried didn't work, and you weren't recognized on iTunes, then you must have had some kind of memory card failure. I hope you have a backup. I am pretty sure Apple would replAce your phone if it broke from interior damage.

    reset iphone won't turn back on

    Your post is extremely vague and several months old but hopefully this info can help others seeking a solution.  I too had a problem with my iPhone (3gs in my case) not coming back up. 
    What happened -- I was using it normally and it rebooted and was stuck on the apple for a long time and wouldn't ever get past it.  So I tried to reboot it by pressing power + home but it would just reset and never power off, and get stuck every time. 
    What I did to fix it -- I actually had to just remove the SIM card then reboot the phone.  After it came back up I put the SIM card back in.  It froze up for a short time after that as the service reactivated. But then it is back to normal now finally.  Whew!

  • IPhone won't turn back on.

    My iPhone 4S just randomly switched of on about 80% power and it won't turn back on. I've tried holding down the home and sleep buttons as well, but no luck. I put it into DFU made for recovery, and it did get discovered by iTunes, but the display doesn't turn on still.
    It hasn't been damaged externally in anyway either.
    Please help.

    Sounds like a hardware problem. Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • My iPhone won't turn back on

    I have an iPhone 5. The lock button doesn't work at all. I was going to restart it because it was being weird so I used the grey button thing on the screen ( I forgot what it's called) and turned it off. When I went to turn it back on it didn't do anything . Also I just took it off the charger so it was at 100%. How might I turn it back on?

    You're going to have a hard time turning it back on if your power button doesn't work. Try putting it back on the charger. If it doesn't come back on, you're going to have to make an appointment to have it serviced at your nearest Genius Bar.

    If wjosten's tip doesn't work try plugging it into a USB charger (not through your computer), wait about 30 seconds and it should come on. If it doesn't remove the cord from the phone and keep trying this. I've had this same issue and found a combination of the reset & charging cable tends to work. Sometimes it takes about 5 minutes for the phone to respond.
    Best of luck.

    It could have powered off. Try holding the sleep button down for a few seconds until the apple logo appears to restart it

    sometimes if the battery drains completely you will need to leave it plugged into a charger for 10-15 minutes before you get any activity at all.  this is normal

    Thanks for your help. I tried plugging it in but nothing happened, I actually still had battery power left. I was able to solve my problem by holding down the power and home buttons, which reset the phone and got it started again.

  • My iphone 5c turned off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

    My iphone 5c turned off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

    Try resetting the device: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). If the Apple appears, the reset is in progress, and the Slide to Unlock screen will display shortly.
    Make sure the battery is charged. If you think it may not be charged, then plug the device into the charger and try resetting after 5 minutes or so.

  • IPhone went dead and won't turn back on

    My iPhone 5 was a refurbished phone that I received under warranty in November. However, it worked fine until last week when it started turning off at 50% and below (which is the same reason why I had to get this refurbished phone in the first place). But because it immediately turned back on, I thought nothing of it and ignored it. However, my phone went dead two days ago and won't turn back on. I've used two chargers that worked the day of, but it wouldn't charge with either of those and those wouldn't even connect my phone to my laptop. So, thinking and hoping it was both of the cords malfunctioning, I went out and bought another cord. My phone still won't turn on, Apple Support refuses to help in any way because my warranty out, and I'm lost.

    Plug it in to a wall outlet so it has power, then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.

  • Iphone 4s won't turn back on

    Hit the home button to view my notifications and in a split second it went back to black and won't turn back on
    I have plugged it in and it won't charge or register in iTunes
    I have assitive touch so i'm unable to press the home and power and try that method
    Phone was at room temperature at the time
    Any ideas on how to solve this?
    Thank you for any suggestions

    If your home button is broken and the phone does not charge anymore, you'll have to get it serviced.
