Iphone 4S stopped working when fully charged and it will not turn on. what should i try?

My brand new, fully charged, working for nearly 2 days iPhone 4S suddenly stopped working and will not turn on. I've tried recharging and it's unresponsive. What should I try to do?

I've had a similar thing happen to my new iPhone 4S three times. It gets hot and doesn't respond to either button -- the screen remains completely off. I have to hold down both buttons for awhile until the Apple appears and then everything seems fine... until it happens again. Once it happened overnight, so I missed  my alarms. Another time, it was while I was at dinner.
Always it happens when the iPhone is on standby with the screen off and nothing particular happening with it. The iPhone 4S is brand new, hasn't been dropped, hasn't been messed with in any way.
Is there a way I can get a trace of what happened before I reset it? The system log (visible in "System Status" and other apps) starts with the reset, so it doesn't help here.

    I leave it charging until it gets back to full, usually it turns on after a little bit of time after plugging it in, but all its doing is going to the apple logo screen and going blank again.

  • I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do?

    I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do? do I just need a new screen or what? I'm freaking out here

    Don't freak out, just get over it. It's probably done.
    What should I do if I drop my phone in the toilet?
    Apple may offer you an refurbished iPhone in exchange for yours, for about half the cost of a new one.
    I wouldn't be too specific about just how it got wet

  • HT4528 I have an IPhone5.  The screen goes blue, then B & W snow, then makes a short hissing sound and shuts off.  It did it 3-4 times and now it will not turn on.  Should I try to have it serviced or replace it?

    I have an IPhone 5.  The screen flashes bright blue, then B & W snow, then makes a short hissing sound and shuts off.  It did it 3-4 times and now it will not turn on.  Should I try to have it serviced or replace it?

    Get it looked at by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider. If you can't, contact Apple Support to get it serviced.

  • Plugged phone up to the charger and it will not turn back on

    Last night when i was going to bed i plugged my phone up to the charger and it started to update with the newest software which was 7.1.something? and this morning when i woke up my phone was turned off and will not turn back on, when you attempt to turn the phone on it flashes a screen that has a blue dot and a picture of the charging cable and just says i tunes. How can I fix my phone? I am trying to download itunes to my computer now but not sure it will fully work.

        rhughes18,
    I am sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your device after the update. To fix this you must plug your device into the computer with iTunes open and go through the activation process. Let us know if the device comes back on after plugging it into iTunes.

  • My iPhone will not turn on, what should I do?

    My iPhone will not turn on, I press the power button and the screen stays black, it's been on charge for the past hour and nothing is happening still. This has never happened and I've had my iPhone for over a year. What should I do?

    Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Timing of text box will not appear.  My text boxes stop working on slide 5 and they will not work for the remainder of the slide show.

    Timing of text box not working.  I get the first few slides to work and then on slide 5 my text boxes will not appear.  And they do not appear for the rest of the slide show.   Help anyone.

    Text caption is timed to appear at 2 seconds, but you have a click box at 0sec. Its duration is very short, which means that I cannot see if there is a pause. I suspect this click box is pausing at the end of its timeline, which is at 0.3secs and the Text caption at 2 seconds will not appear before the user has clicked on that click box. The timeline is the core of Captivate, learn at least how to read it.

    If you want the green text caption 'Click on...' to appear right at the beginning of the slide, you have to check its Timing accordion: set it to start at 0 secs instead of 2 secs and extend its duration to the 'rest of the slide'.
    I don't know what is in the Group. That group and the HIghlight box will disappear at 3 seconds. Or maybe the action that is triggered by the Clickbox is different from 'Continue'?

  • I have the iphone 3g and tried to update it to the latest version on itunes, which i found out later was not compatible with 3g and is now not turning on, what should i do?

    iphone 3g not working because of uncompatible update, what should i do?

    There is no way to update a 3G to iOS 4.3.x using approved Apple procedures (meaning using iTunes), so presumably you used a non-approved procedure to do it. You may now have an iBrick, but you can try to restore it to a supported version using iTunes and DFU mode. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. If this fails there may still be a way, but you won't find it in this forum. You need to try some iPhone hacking sites.
