Iphone 4 wont turn on? hard reset doesnt work

Was just sending a text today when my 8GB iPhone 4 decided just to shut off. Now it won't turn on no matter what I do. Plugging into charger does nothing. Plugging into PC doesn't do anything either. Please don't suggest holding down power and home buttons because I've tried that over 10 times with no success.

Well, sounds like you need to bring your phone into Apple.

  • HT4623 Dead iphone 5s-hard reset doesnt work. Now what?

    We just got my daughter an iphone 5s. we went to update it last night and it turned off and wont turn back on. Screen is black, hard reset doesnt work, and it doesnt register on the phone to be plugged in/wont charge. Only had it about a week. Hasn't been dropped, or gotten wet. Im guessing we need a whole new phone? I hope not but..

  • Iphone 4 wont turn on after reset

    I restored my iphone 4 because it said I had a problem with itunes. Now it has been over 30 minutes and it still wont turn on. The screen is black with a little light to it (if that makes sense)... Nothing happens even if I plug it in, or try to turn it off/on.....

    Try holding the Home and top button together for at least 20 seconds.

  • Hard reset doesnt work

    i have a N81 and when i turn it on i only get a white screen with nokia logo.
    i read somewhere about a hard reset. (green, *, 3) but apparently its suppose too say "formatting" when it turns on. i dont get the 'formatting' and it just goes back too the white nokia screen again.
    need help.

    The "3 finger deep reset" which is depress these three keys simultaneously "*" "3" "green phone" and then power on phone whilst keeping those same three keys depressed until you hear start-up tone. Did you hold those 3 keys while turning the phone on?
    I presume you have no other option and already know that if you have not backed up your phone, you will lose all your data when you reset your phone.

  • Ipod touch wont turn on, holding buttons doesnt work, HELP!!

    So last night, I went to bed setting my iPod next to me on the floor. I wake up this morning, and it will not respond to anything I press. I charged it for an hour, I held the power button, home button, both, for over a minute each. I need help... I don't know if I can send it in with a warranty being valid, I got it as a present used for Christmas. I'm so angry at Apple, it seems like this is a common problem, but everyone else's operates after holding the buttons. It is an iPod Touch, 4th gen, 32 gb. It doesnt connect to iTunes, it won't show up as charging, and it will not turn on or respond.

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod.
    - Next try DFU mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If you have an Apple store nearby then make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store. It is free.
    - You can check you warranty by entering the SN here:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    - The following provides the instructions for sending it to Apple.

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

    Hello there, Conorjl7.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some good, practical steps for troubleshooting issues with charging:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Particularly:
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • My ipod is displying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesnt "see" it even if the computer does.

    "My ipod is displaying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does."
    It worked two days ago fine, for two years, until I installed this newest iTunes update, then for one day it kept on freezing and going to apple logo screen mode, then today it only goes to that screen and wont start up at all.
    I've tried the hold down two buttons hard reset, that doesn't help. I've tried disc mode... but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does.
    This is a pristine ipod, never exposed to adverse conditions, never dropped, never wet, and it worked perfectly two days ago.
    Can I factory reset it somehow? (considering itunes can't "see" it)
    [Ipod classic 160gb less than two years old.]

    Looks like I might have found the solution on a youtube comment:
    R.O:
    "Plug into you laptop first, whichever set up you use that has iTunes, i know it won't read it, don't even open iTunes as of yet. Do the typical reboot "Menu +Center button at the same time" and hold it, DONT LET IT GO like we were told, when the apple pops up.. KEEP HOLDING IT it will make a new ding sound I've never heard before. and since its hooked to you laptop already an error message pops up and says apple will need to download something to repair your iPod. I when u see that that when i let reboot buttons go. hit ok on the laptop something downloads for like 20 seconds then the iTunes icon hops around when you open it it has a screen with an iPod classic on it and says "Software version blah blah, iTunes will check for an update on such n such date" AND FINALLY there's a "Restore" button. click that and you will be back to square one with your iPod. Renaming , adding all the music on it, but it will work again, finally. "
    I had to do it twice, because my mac froze the first time, but its recognized it now and is downloading the software as we speak...
    Now I've clicked the restore button and it's restoring... I'll post again if its a success, otherwise assume failure.

    Help! My iPhone 5 wont turn on after battery died. iPhone is not reponding to charger or anything I have tried... Hard reset is not in option beacuse iPhone is turned off.

    Your only chance is letting it charge for about 10min, then connecting it in recovery mode, explained here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If it does not charge at all, you'll have to get it serviced by Apple.

    Hello ole-gunnar,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is unresponsive after updating your iOS version, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting below.
    If you see a black screen
    You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on. 
    You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device. If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
    Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
    Restart your device.
    If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Get more help
    If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.

    Hello Kimbo1991,
    It sounds like your phone is not successfully booting even though you have reset the device. I would next recommend attempting a backup and restore to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    If you are unable to restore with iTunes I would next put the device into recovery mode, and attempt the restore again:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
