Iphone 4s won't turn on, but flash light is on
Hello all, I have an iPhone 4s which is approx 5 weeks old, has never been dropped and has no water damage. The other day the flash light came on and I couldn't get it off but the phone was working perfectly fine. Then the phone died and now I can not get it to turn on. When you plug it into the computer it is not recognized and the screen is just completely black there are no signs of it saying its charging or anything, all that happens is the flash light turns back on. I have tried pressing all the various buttons for various amounts of time, both plugged into the computer and not plugged in, but nothing seems to work. I am currently in the Galapagos Islands for another 3 weeks so I can't go to any places to get any help and it is my only camera here so it's a serious bummer. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, it is greatly appreciated!!!
personally the only time i have seen this is with liquid damage or fake parts fitted to the device
(if it is fake parts apple will have to deny service)
under the tab in the dock connector you should see a small sticker in the middle (white is good, orange/red is liquid)
also the same applies to the bottom of the headset jack in the top of your handset
if you have any further issue or still not sure as to why this is happening simply book a genius bar appointment at your local apple store via www.apple.com/retail

With USB Cable connect iPhone to power source, charger or USB port of computer. The iPhone should begin to start immediately.

My iphone 5 won't turn on but when plugged into power source it keeps showing apple logo?
My iPhone 5 won't turn on at all and then when I plug it into a power source either into a plug socket or into my laptop with the USB cable it keeps showing start up screen with apple logo over and over again on a loop.
I have tried holding the top and front button together, this didn't work. I have also tried connecting to my laptop and following the reboot steps that I found on another discussion forum. Neither worked for me. The phone just won't reboot and it keeps continuing to loop the apple logo screen over and over without me touching anything.
The iPhone won't even connect to itunes and so itunes seems to not recognise my phone because its not even turning on (just continually apple logo screen appears for 5 seconds, goes to black screen and then repeats).
I don't know what is happening to it! Can anyone help? Is it a fault with the hardware or have I dont something to it? The next appointment at the genius bar for me is monday so I'm going to keep looking for any more recent ones until then but I really need to get it sorted before then so if anyone can help that would be great!
ThanksTry a reset when your iPhone is plugged into the charger as you say it does not respond when not plugged in...
Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release. This may take up to 10 seconds. This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
See if it will charge after this. -
Q10 has locked me out completely. Won't turn on but red light flashing to specific pattern
Help! Turned my Q10 off yesterday to reset as emails not getting through. Now won't turn back on - just a little red light flashing at top right of device in a specific pattern. Nightmare-any ideas??
Connect your Q10 to the known working OEM wall outlet charger.
After being connected several minutes, LEAVE it connected and remove the battery a minute, and reinsert... does it reboot?

My phone screen won't turn on and the touch screen Doesn't work but I still get calls and messages
Hi Mptuck,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
There may be a problem with your device, which could be water damage. It is best to take your device to the Apple Store and see if the Geniuses can fix it.
Good Luck,

My IPhone 4S won't turn on but is recognized by my computer? Help!
When plugged in ONLY my computer it vibrates twice every couple of seconds but with a total blank screen. I turned off my phone normally to restart it and it neveer came back on. I HAVE tried using both buttons and holding them down. The phone is jail broken, so it's been taken out of the box once but besides that the phone is brand new and I have only been using it for a day or two. What's going on??
If it's recognized in itunes, the device is in recovery mode. If it were completely dead, it wouldn't be recognized. You should be able to restore from itunes either as a new device or from a backup if you have one

My iPhone 5s won't turn on. Its battery was drained for more than a month. I tried charging it for more than an hour then pressed reset but it still won't turn on.

You said "reset," so Meg assumed that's what you did. But "reset" is not a button; to reset the phone you must hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. You may have to hold for up to 30 seconds, and if the battery was completely drained, you will have to restore iOS using iTunes on your computer.

My iPhone 5s won't turn on. All it does whenever I hit the home or power button is flash the apple logo several times. I've tried plugging it into a power source and it does the same but the logo flashes faster, same goes for when I plug it into my MacBook. It won't even recognize my phone so I can't restore it through there. I've tried everything I can find on the internet and nothing's working. Someone please help me.
I've tried doing a restore but an error comes up. I have no idea what to do now.

See Here for > Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this First... No Data will be Lost...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons... -
My iphone 5 won't turn on or charge
My Iphone 5 won't turn on or charge. I've tried 3 different chargers, a reset but still nothing. Any ideas or tips?
Hi there Betty Boop 64,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
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 LCIsand 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?

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is in recovery mode you will need to restore the device.

My phone keeps freezing and I have the 5s and now it won't turn on but I can talk to sir
My phone keeps freezing and I have the 5s and now it won't turn on but I can talk to sir
If you can talk to Siri, but the screen is not turning on, try the 2 button reset. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake (Power) Button and the Home Button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that doesn't make you screen come back on, you can try restoring your iPhone. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
iPhone hardware troubleshooting - http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
