Plug it into a power source for at least 30 minutes, then reset it, while still plugged in:
Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you(hopefully) see the Apple logo, then release.

Iphone 5 wont power up or charge

Im pretty sure my iphone does not have water damage because the sensors don't indicate that it does. I woke up this morning and my phone was completely dead. It wont start up, charge, anything. I tried pressing both home & sleep buttons but nothing seems to work. How should I go about recovering my iphone and or making it work?

Why did you suspect that water damage may have caused your problem? If your phone got wet it may have been damaged even though the sensors are not Red.
If your phone did not come in contact with water and it will not come on or charge I would first suspect the charger or cable. Check those by trying different chargers and cables. Keep in mind that if the phones battery is complete drained it may take 15-60 minutes on the charger before it shows any sign of life.
If your charger and cable are verified to be good then obviously the problem lies in your phone. Try a reset of the phone just in case that may help. Apple will ask you to do this anyway before they look at it.
Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If still no joy make an appointment at an Apple Store to have a technician examine your phone.

Iphone 4s wont power on, im just getting a blank screen with battery charging on front screen

iphone 4s wont power on, im just getting a blank screen with battery charging on front screen>>>>becouse it is after damage water

At Apple Store, if you have AppleCare +, replacement iPhone 4S costs $50, if no +, then it will cost $199. Either your battery is faulty, the power management is faulty, or the charging port is faulty, or all three. Start with battery replacement. If still problem, then try charging port with flex cable replacement. If still problem, then it is very complex fix or no fix at all possible.

My iphone 4 wont turn on or charge. HELP!!!

My iPhone 4 will not turn on, charge, or hard reset. I've charged it for long periods of time and it won't even show a red battery sign. It all started when my iphone was near death (7%) and it wouldn't charge. That was about a week ago. I've tried EVERYTHING. Hard resets, plugging it into the computer, using different ports on the walls, switching chargers, and putting it into DFU mode. None of it worked. I dropped my phone in water a few MONTHS ago, but it wasn't damaged at all(surprisingly), and it never showed any signs of water damage. And i got this phone used off ebay last August in near-perfect condition, so i dont have the warranty. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi there dobwaya1,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Omg please help me my ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont power on or charge

it would be so helpfull if someone could tell me why it wont power on

See as how it is four years old there is a very good chance the battery is dead.

My new iphone 4 wont power on does the battery have to charge first? It was shipped thru mail and took 7days to get here.I managed to turn it on once and shut it of because i had to put sim card in.Now it wont power on.

I tried holding down both buttons like everyone said and this doesnt work. My phone was shipped new from Ontario to Sask and took about a week to get here,Could it be because my battery is so low? And shouldnt it power on when it's plugged in or show a phone charging icon or have some lite on? My laptop won't even discover it when I plug it in. When I first took it out of the box i called virgin mobile.The lady told me to put sim card in because it did turn on at first and was asking for sim card so i put it in and all kinds of languages were displayed so i clicked on english and then then somehow shut the phone off because i wasnt familiar with it yet i have no idea how i shut it off.Anyway, I read a bit further and saw where the power button was and tried to turn it back on. No luck the apple logo appears with what looks like a hairline crack on the apple itself and a very thin blue bar no thicker than a pen stroke its about halfway right behind the apple logo like its going to power on but it doesnt, it just goes black.Then when I hold the 2 buttons down, the home button and the power button at the same time, the apple logo flahes on about every 3or4 seconds as tho its going to turn on but it doesnt, occasionally the bar comes up with the logo but not every time.What can I do? Will it work if I let it charge for a couple hours? Does it need a couple hrs and shud there at least be a charging icon showing me its charging?? I have it hooked up by USB to my laptop charging.My computer and Itunes doesnt even acknowledge its even there. PLEASE HELP? Thanks so much!

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

Iphone 4 wont power on

I have an Iphone 4, when i try and boot it up I only get the "Apple" logo for some time then it vanishes,
I can boot it in almost any way and thats all i get. if i plug it into the PC it will show the logo then vanish like i was doing the normal power on or "Home" / "Power button" method, If i plug it into my PC it goes into the recovery mode,
Problem is i have loads of photos which has not been backed up and I would like to get these off before "Restoring" phone, is there any way this is possible?
The issue came up when i tried to update to 8.1, left my PC alone for a while when i came back the phone was not working.
I have left the phone "charging" for a long period of time plugged into the PC and the wall while plugged in the power sign does not appear on the laptop the pc prompts saying would i like to update or restore this, if i click update after about 10 /15 mins the phone reboots itself again (this part happens when i put it into recovery mode) I cannot view the Iphone as another drive
Thanks

Have you tried a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

My iphone5 wont power on or charge

My iphone5 won't power on & it won't charge

Ihad a similar problem, for not charging, with my iPhone 4 1.5 years ago. Charging place of my iPhone was broken, I had to have it fixed. Maybe same thing happened to your iPhone too. And because you can't charge, its battery maybe depleted. After you get it fixed, and charge, it should turn to normal
