IPhone 4s wont turn on? Plugged in for half an hour?

My iPhone 4s wont turn on, it's been plugged in for half an hour (to the wall, if it matters). When I try to turn it, the battery pops up. It doesn't show the plug, so there isn't anything wrong with the charger and it is charging. Why won't it turn on? How can I fix this?

Reset the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears. If that doesn't resolve the problem you may have a bad battery.

    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

  • My iphone 6 wont turn on after i updated it and it doesn't work to restore it in itunes. what should i do?

    my iphone 6 wont turn on after i updated it and it doesn't work to restore it in itunes. what should i do?

    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. 
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

  • My iPhone 4S wont turn on, died after charging it to 100%

    I have an iPhone 4S with recently updated iOS 7. Today I charged my phone to 100% and went out to watch football. When going to unlock it the image on the screen said my phone was dead and I needed to plug it in. It often does this but comes around after you plug it in for a minute. Today after 20 minutes on my radio it still said it was dead. I plugged it into the wall for a little bit but still nothing. After that I held the home button and lock button down for over 30 seconds and nothing happened. I plugged it into my computer with iTunes and my computer did not even register my phone. After an hour of sitting around watching football with it plugged into my laptop it looked like it was coming around when the white apple icon popped up, followed by the white spinning circle like it was turning on. It vibrated and still had the white circle spinning until it went blank again, right back where I started. Nothing has happened since. Does anybody know what else I can do?

    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...

  • HT201269 My iphone 4 wont turn on

    My iphone 4 wont turn on. It was in my pocket and then just wouldn't work or turn on. My lock buttons broke too, its also been plugged in for 2 hours

    Did you made a iCloud/iTunes backup before it got wet?
    If you do, you can restore from backup. Otherwise it's gone.

    Hi kaukana,
    If you are seeing a black screen and your iPhone won't turn on, try the steps in the article below:
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203039
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

    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,
    Pedro.
