IPhone 5 won't start up or charge

                My friend had been given a iphone 5 that doesn't work. It will not start up and when plugging it into the wall charger the electric arc symbol had came on and cycled. I had let it charge overnight and now the phone doesn't show the symbol nor turn on.  Can anyone shed some light on to what the problem/s may be?
thanks in advance

Thanks, made an appointment for Wednesday

  • IPod on iPhone won't start up

    The iPod on my 3g iPhone won't start up. I touch the button and the iPod begins to "start up". The screen goes white like it's loading and then nothing happens, until finally it returns me to the home screen. I've tried accessing the iPod from the bottom row button, from iTunes on the phone, and by double-pressing the Home button. I have turned the phone off and then back on. I've held the Home button for 6 seconds, and I've also done a reset with the Home and Sleep buttons.
    Any ideas?
    The other night it worked fine. I accessed the iPod and found a song I was discussing with a friend. I went to bed, woke up, and the iPod wouldn't load/open. It hadn't been charged or synched. No app or song downloads in between uses. No drops, no damage, nothing. I have an 8 gig and I have less than 1 gig of space left free. Could this be hampering the iPod launch?
    Thank you.

    You'll have to reinstall the iPhone's firmware. Open iTunes up, right click on the iPhone on the left hand side and select backup. The backup has been adjusted in iTunes so that it will also backup your camera roll, but if I were you I would make a copy of all your pictures just in case. After the backup finishes, click on the Restore button on the iPhone home page in iTunes. After the reinstall, it will prompt you to restore your backup to your iPhone. After the backup is restored, sync your iPhone with iTunes and all your data will be back on the iPhone.
    Let me know how it works for you.

  • IPhone5 won't start up or charge or connect to pc

    IPhone5 won't start up or charge or connect to pc  still not working after trying different cable removing sim and hold home and on button :(

    If your warranty is expired then they won't send you a new one. That's the point of having a warranty, once it expires then there's nothing Apple can do about it. They give iPods a grace period of 1 year to malfunction, if the iPod does happen to screw up and not a year old yet then Apple does replace the damaged iPod and sends the customer a refurbished one.
    Since you have no warranty you can buy another MP3 player (from Apple or whatever other company you choose). Apple does not sell new minis any more, only refurbished ones which are cheaper than new ones actually.

  • My iphone won't start at all and slowly started to fade out

    my iphone won't charge from Dec 31 midnight. well first it was freezing, and i lock it then i plug the charger. but it doesn't turn on until morning - right now actually. i already restore it and it was working but it freeze again! i reboot it over and over but black dots started to show up and the screen started to fade out. according to my experience, the screen were burned. is it means that i should go to the store for fixing it or i should get a new phone? HELP!

    Did you try booting into your Recovery partition? Hold down the command and R keys whilst booting and if you can get to your Recovery partition use Disk Utility to verify your disk and, if needed, repair the disk.
    If it can't be repaired, then it's likely dying.

  • HELP NEEDED ASAP! My iPod mini won't start up or charge

    My mini which i purchased about a little over a year ago, won't start up. When i restart (menu+select), apple logo comes up for 3 seconds, and it dissapears with small "click" noise, and mini repeats this forever.
    When i shift hold button on and off, the out of battery icon shows up, but i can't charge with power adaptor/car adaptor/computer (the charging icon won't show, and it repeats apple logo dispay i described above). i left it charged for 4 hrs, but it still shows out of battery icon.
    I even opened up mini, disconnected the battery, and reconnected the battery again, but it just keeps doing "reboot attempt."
    I've researched, and i tried reboot literally like 50 times, but it keeps repeating the above. i can't restore neither since computer is not recognizing.
    and yes, i tried the battery drain for 24 hrs, and recharging.
    The problem occured when i was listening to mini in my car, connected to car adopter. It froze momentarily (just for like 5 seconds) and then it began to skip the sound here and there (like damaged CD).
    So i rebooted, and it won't turn on eversince.
    I have the latest iPod update, latest OS, and iMac G5.
    I've run out of warranty so i don't wanna send in for repair.
    Somebody please HELP!!!

  • Device won't start, even after charging (WT8-B-102)

    I recently bought a Toshiba WT8-B-102 and i have some problems with it.
    First of all i couldn't install the BIOS update for some reason, but that isn't a huge problem for the tablet works fine
    but now i can't start it anymore. yesterday i had the same problem, left the Tab alone for a while, (on the charger) and after that it didn't start/boot. half an hour later i tried again (after taking it of the charger) and then it started, but today it won't start at all. Even if i charge it for some hours, then try it again, try to start it while being charged, etc. This is not good right?
    I also don't see some led burning or any other sign when i attach it to the charger. Any ideas or help guys?
    Thanks

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

  • My iphone won't start up?!?!

    Why won't my iphone start up it got spilled on and the screen works but it won't start up.

    From the Support FAQ:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/#repair3
    *Can I get my iPhone serviced outside the country of purchase?*
    No, service for eligible repairs is only available in the country where your iPhone was originally purchased.
    I agree with A Mitchell about trying a restore in iTunes.

  • The iPhone won't start anymore

    try a reset, 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.

  • My iPhone won't turn on or charge

    So I have an iPhone 4 16GB that I've had since brand new around 2 years ago.
    I charged it throughout last night and got to it this morning to find it hadn't charged, despite having a chare symbol in the corner. I left it to (from 4%) and tried to charge it again. The problem starts here as the apple symbol will come up and go through the start-up process, but as soon as the background appears, it snaps straight onto the shutdown process as if it had just been turned off or died again (rotating circle). I left it to charge all day hoping it would resolve itself but all day it has repeated the afore mentioned on and off sequence the whole time. I tried to restore it from my itunes but as the phone won't stay on my macbook can't connect to it, and I have run out of ideas. I have used various chargers ad cables and even a dock and the same thing happens everytime.
    Thanks in advance to any replies/ thoughts on the matter.

    I let it charge again all last night but nothing new has happened. When I plug the phone in to charge it responds as normal but just won't charge or stay turned on, and as I said before I've used multiple different chargers and all have the same result.
    Thanks for the quick response

  • The screen has gone black, it won't start up or charge up. is this the battery, if so can a new one be fitted etc .

    My i-pod won't charge or start, black screen, is this battery failure. If so can a new battery be fitted and is it going to be cost effective

    Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Apple will replace the battery for $79
    A third-party place like the followiong is less expensive.
