Iphone 4s will not charge or turn on

iphone 4s will not charge or turn on

You should check your original post. I responded to that one and you have asked the same question again. Stay with a single post and do not duplicate posts. It makes it difficult for users that are responding to you for you to try and do what they ask.
First try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone should restart. This could take up to 20 seconds if the phone has been unresponsive.
Otherwise you can check this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

  • IPhone 4s and now iPhone 4 will not charge to turn on

    My iphone 4s stopped taking a charge, I've tried working chargers which I tested on other iphones to make sure they are good working units and they worked fine on other phones but would not charge my own. I tried holding the home and power button down while it was plugged in and even gently cleaned out the lint and dust particles from the connectors. The phone will not turn on and it never says it's charging? Because of this I resorted to using my old iPhone 4 and now, just this past weekend, it has done the same exact thing and will not charge nor turn on. Has anyone had a similar issue or know a fix or do my batteries need replaced?

    Yes, I have tried multiple chargers! Before the 4s stopped taking a charge it was kind of gradual where it showed it was charging on the screen with the battery and lightning bolt icon but it would sit like that for hours and never turn on even when I held the power and home button at the same time to hard boot it. Eventually the charging icon stopped coming on and hasn't since and neither phone will turn on or even show any signs of charging.

  • Iphone 5 will not charge or turn on after updating to ios 8.1.2

    I just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1.2 just the other day. My phone died last night at about 40% battery left. I have plugged it in for over 30 minutes and it will not charge, I just get a black screen. I have tried the hard reboot, and still nothing. I cannot even get it to go into recovery mode when plugged into my computer on itunes. My phone received a new battery under the battery replacement program less than three months ago. The battery was replaced by the apple store. When I go to support they want my serial number, but I cannot turn on the phone to get it plus they send me an email that I am suppose to open on my iPhone, but I cannot turn it on. Please help, I do not have the money to send it to apple.

    I just drove 4 hours to the nearest Apple store, the same on that replaced the battery 3 months ago. They tried to fix it, but could not and then admitted they probably did something when they replaced the battery. So with the manger's approval they replaced my phone at no charge to me, even thought I bought the phone back in 2012.

  • HT201401 My iPhone 4 will not charge or turn on. What is the problem?

    when ever i hold the power button, I see this and that is it. It only shows for a few seconds then goes blank. I let it sit on the charger for hours all day and it will not charge. My iPhone does not even respond to the charger when plugged in, it will do nothing.  Just to answer those who may think i jailbroken my iPhone, I did not. This never happened before. A hard reset would fix many issues i had before.

    I have also encountered this problem on my device (iPhone 4s) today.
    My phone ran out of battery and when I went to charge it nothing happened. I've tried 3 different official leads and even plugging it into the computer. Whenever my device decides to respond it just shows the charging symbol (as if it is charging) yet it never turns on. I've had it on charge for hours now and nothing.
    This just occurred out of the blue. Today my phone just decided to not want to charge. What do I do? It is no longer under warrenty so I can't take it to an apple store...

  • My IPhone 4 will not charge or turn on.  Ive tried charging on the usb and the wall charger.  still no luck!

    My I phone 4 will not charge there is just a dark screen.  Ive tried charging it with the USB cable and the wall charger still not luck.  It will not even turn on.

    Try resetting it: hold down the power and the Home button for about ten seconds until the Apple icon appears on the screen.

  • My iphone 4s will not charge nor turn on and it does not reset. This has been going on for about 2days, at first it would only stay to 1% i turned it off to charge better and it will not turn back on nor reset using the home button and lock button.

    I have no idea what to do, this is the second time that my phone has completely went dumb on me, the first time was March 2, and after 3hours of charging it finally turned on and charged completely now it does not do that. It stayed at 1% for a whole day (yesterday sunday) and now it does not turn on, and the home and lock button will not reset it. What do i do?? Help...

  • My iPhone 5s will not charge or turn on. Itunes does not detect it and it doesn't warm up like usual when im charging it. PLEASE HELP!

    I really need help with this please!

    Get a different cable from a friend or an Apple store, be sure it is an official Apple cable as many knock-offs are rejected by iOS devices.
    See if a different cable works and makes the iPhone "seeable" by the charger and by iTunes.
    If that does not help, take the iPhone, cable and charger to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the techs.

  • My iPhone 5 will not charge or turn on while holding the home / sleep buttons.

    My phone won't charge, have tried the wall and the computer. I tried holding the home button and the sleep button at the same time and got nothing except the battery with the bolt telling me to charge.

    You should try to use a different cord to charge the phone, if this is solves the issue you can call AppleCare and if your phone is under warranty they will replace the defective cord.
    If you try a different cord and this does not solve the issue, you may need to contact AppleCare and get a replacement phone. If there is no physical/accidental damage done to the phone and the phone is under warrany you will receive the replacement phone for free. !

  • Iphone 4 will not charge and itunes does not recogise it at all.  When I plug it in to charge it says that it needs to be restored.

    My iphone 4 will not charge when I plug it in, it will turn on but it says that it needs to be restored and will not do anything else.  When I plug it into itunes it isn't recognized at all.  I took it into the verizon store and they were not any help at all.  My phone isn't under warranty anymore so they don't care.  Please help, I had to go back to my old phone, a droid and I hate it so much. 

    its fixed!!  After posting my problem with the FROZEN ipod classic (2007) 80 gb a screen popped up with similar subjects that I did not find in my original search.  'Rich Fleming' in the community posted a suggestion to someone with a similar frozen issue and it WORKED when I tried it. 
    hold the 'menu' and the 'circle' buttons down at the same time, KEEP the pressed until the apple appears. and now it is working.  Hope this helps others.

  • My iPhone 4 will not charge and is now dead.

    My iPhone 4 will not charge and is now dead.  I updated the software about 2 weeks ago but since the phone is dead I can find out which version I have.  It started giving me the prompt "this accessory does not support charging this device".  I tried charging in my car, two separate wall chargers and on my MacBook Pro.  Have never had a problem charging it before.  When I would try to charge it, I would get a green battery icon with a plug in it, indicating the battery was fully charged.  I now have it plugged into a wall charger, it shows the lighting bolt and nearly drained battery but the phone will not turn on.  Any ideas?

  • HT1476 My iPhone 4s will not charge. Can you help me?

    My iPhone 4s will not charge. Can you help me?

    Have you tried charging it from another computer or another wall charger?
    Have you tried another cable?
    This is a good place to start for charging problems -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
    Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter  is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.

    iphone 4S will not charge, error that USB device not working, found any suggestions?

    Hello Chambless,
    The troubleshooting steps below can help get your iPhone to charge.
    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.
