Iphone 5 won't turn on. Reset doesn't work either.

Hi All,
My Dad's having an issue with his iPhone 5. The cellphone won't turn on. This happened after he turned it off one day.
He's tried pressing home button and power button, but that doesn't work either. He believes that the phone has too little free memory for iOS to boot.
So we are just wondering if there is a way he can backup the photos/contacts in that case?
I am just wondering if you have any insights?
Thanks,
Di

Having the phone refuse to turn on is a symptom of a completely drained battery. Connect the phone to the charger that came with it and connect that to a good wall outlet. Wait at least 30 minutes then reset the phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is at 100%. If the phone does not restart Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • IdeaPad U160 doesn't turn on, support doesn't work either

    My IdeaPad U160 just stopped working from one day to the other. Nothing special happened, I turned it off one day and in the morning there was no energy in the computer. I took the battery off and checked if the charger was working, but everything was fine. I followed the instructions that I found here on the Lenovo website to press the switch for some seconds without charger or battery and nothing happened. I did that more than 10 times.
    So finally now after almost one week I contacted the support center in Germany, since there is no other way of contacting Lenovo when you have an IdeaPad. Some very missinformed person answered the phone and was of no help since he didn't tell me how to proceed with repairing the computer. He just told me that I should press the switch again for 20sec and wait for 30min, even though I told him that I had already done that. Note that my computer is still in the warranty period, but actually not for long anymore.
    So now I want to know how do I proceed with the warranty service in Germany? Who can I contact?

  • Reset iphone won't turn back on

    reset iphone won't turn back on

    Your post is extremely vague and several months old but hopefully this info can help others seeking a solution.  I too had a problem with my iPhone (3gs in my case) not coming back up. 
    What happened -- I was using it normally and it rebooted and was stuck on the apple for a long time and wouldn't ever get past it.  So I tried to reboot it by pressing power + home but it would just reset and never power off, and get stuck every time. 
    What I did to fix it -- I actually had to just remove the SIM card then reboot the phone.  After it came back up I put the SIM card back in.  It froze up for a short time after that as the service reactivated. But then it is back to normal now finally.  Whew!

  • My Iphone died on me yesterday. It still had plenty of charge showing. It now won't turn on and doesn't acknowledge being plugged in to charge. Its simply dead. What can I do?

    This is exactly what has happened with me. I feel so ****** off. Apparently this is pretty common. I am in the works to get a content writer job for one of the most widely read technology blogs, and guess what my first article would be on?

    Reset your phone:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • My ipod screen just turned blank white randomly and now it won't turn off/reset or connect to the computer... need help

    my screen just turned blank white randomly and now it won't turn off/reset or connect to a computer or really do anything... need help.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPhone won't turn back on

    I have an iPhone 5. The lock button doesn't work at all. I was going to restart it because it was being weird so I used the grey button thing on the screen ( I forgot what it's called) and turned it off. When I went to turn it back on it didn't do anything . Also I just took it off the charger so it was at 100%. How might I turn it back on?

    You're going to have a hard time turning it back on if your power button doesn't work. Try putting it back on the charger. If it doesn't come back on, you're going to have to make an appointment to have it serviced at your nearest Genius Bar.

  • IPhone won't turn on after trying to restore to beta version.

    I was trying to restore my iPhone to the latest beta version and during the restore, an error occurred and my iPhone won't turn on, and iTunes does not recognize it anymore. Now, when i try to turn it on, the logo appears and then appears the "connect to iTunes" image and IMMEDIATELY the screen turns white and Apple's logo appears again and starts all over again.

    If you're a registered developer, you have access to the developers forums. iOS 5 beta can NOT be discussed in the public forums. If you're not a developer, bummer... you shouldn't have installed a stolen beta on your phone, should ya?
