Iphone 5 keeps turning off and having to be reset to turn on!

Hi I have a 7 month old iphone 5 that started to turn itself off, it did it once on one day and all I did was hold power and home button to reset it. After that it worked for a full 24 hours without turning off then I started doing it again. Now I cant leave it 2 mins without it turning off by itself and now when I reset it it sometimes gets stuck on the apple logo so sometimes it takes me 3 attempts to turn it on for it to turn off again in 2 mins!!
I have plugged into my computer and it has lasted longer but then after I've unplugged it again same thing happens. I haven't dropped it or anything like that it just started acting up - is this something I can resolve or is it a replacement?
Many Thanks!!

Howdy Lulub10,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
Based on what you are describing here, I would recommend the following troubleshooting from this article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
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 15 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.
Regards,
Sterling

    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    1. 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.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

    My iPhone 4 is shut off and wont turn back on, unless i plug it in an outlet & when i do that it says "connect to Itunes" & then i do that and the phone wont turn on & it shows nothing is plugged in . HELP!
    & it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.

    Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
    Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
    To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

  • IPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down.Have done system restore but no improvement. Suggestions welcome.

    iPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down. After numerous attempts I've managed to get it on again. Any ideas - could it be battery? Suggestions welcome.

    Try forcing the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device.
    Follow these steps:
    iOS: How to back up your device and setup as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    Doing this will help eliminate any possible software issue that could be causing this. Setting up a new device will bypass a backup with possible data corruption.
    If the issue continues after this, you should contact Apple for service for the phone as it will very likely be a hardware issue.

  • IPhone 5 keeps taking screenshots and trying to switch off. Any advice?

    My iPhone 5 keeps taking screenshots and going onto the screen where you can swipe to turn off the phone. I have read online that this has been an issue with other iPhones, however I have failed to solve the problem. Any advice? (I have already tried to restart the phone several times)

    Hi CassidyMustang,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your Sleep/Wake (lock) button is unexpectedly taking screenshots, first try holding the button down until "Slide to power off" appears, and restart your iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If you are not able to restart, try to reset your iPhone by holding down the Home and Sleep/Wake button for at least ten seconds.
    If the behavior continues or you can't reset your iPhone, back up and restore it next:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
