IPhone 5c stopped turning on after IOS 8.1 update.

2 days ago i decided to update my iPhone 5c to IOS 8.1. There was no noticeable issues with the update, but after attempting to use the phone, i did notice that the phone was not powering on. I've contacted apple support, and have done all the trouble shooting steps with no luck; however since i am no longer under warranty, apple refused to provide me with the repair without paying a $260 fee.
Anyone have another solution to this problem? And am i wrong for thinking since it happened right after the update, apple should be responsible to fix this issue?

Guys, please help me with this problem. After updating it to iOS 7.1 its no longer turning on

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 LCIs and 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.

?iphone 4 wont turn on after ios update

Hi folks, I updated my iphone 4 with the ios5 or 6 update, and when it powercycled it would not turn back on.
when I try to turn it on, i get the standard apple icon, then a usb symbol will appear with an arrow above it, and the i tunes symbol above that.
Its obviously telling me to connect to itunes, but when i do, the device registers, but only prompts me to reset the phone. After doing that, same prob...HELP

If connecting in recovery mode, as explained in this article did not help to restore the phone again, you'll have to get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place or by contacting Apple Support.

Iphone 5s battery drains fast after ios 7.1 update.

Am I the only one who seems to be experiencing this? My iphone 5S battery seem to drain much faster than usual, and charge longer. I heard that the new update is supposed to increase battery life, and read comparison threads regarding other iphones that are capable of a much better battery life than mine.
I've had my phone for 3 months, never have dropped it once or anything of the sort, if that matters. My battery drains to 50% within an hour or so after intense use on the lowest level of brightness, and I seem to lose about 5-7 percents when on standby for 5 hours or so. Is this normal? Is it perhaps due to the fact that I am mostly using 3g, and applications that require more processing such as tumblr (graphics and gifs) as well safari? I'm just worried that my battery may be draining to quick, despite the update which's supposed to make it much better according to many people.
Thanks.

Me too.
I went from plugging in to charge at the end of the night, around 11pm, to barely getting through a workday with very light use. With less than 10 hrs of standby and maybe 30 minutes with the screen even on I am rocking 15% battery life. I'm also connected to wifi whenever at home or in the office, which accounts for over 9 hours of the standby time.
I know people are suggesting turn off features... but eff that, 5 days ago I'd get through an entire day without any issue, under much heavier useage. I don't want to have to turn on bluetooth everytime I get in my car and back off when I get out, I just want it to work when I turn the car on... I don't want to manually check for emails, I want it to tell me when an email comes.

Thank you very much for your support.

Why wont my iphone charge from my computer after ios 7.1 update?

I have a windows 8.1 PC. I use it for work. I also have an iphone. Today, I updated the ios on my phone to 7.1. During the update, the phone was connected to my PC usb port with the apple charging cable to keep it charged. The update finished, and I noticed that the battery was at 66%. It was 100% before I started the update. There was no lighting bolt/charging symbol. I disconnected the phone from the computer. I plugged it into the apple wall charger. It charges from that. I tried another apple cable on the PC. Still no dice. I do get the sound from the PC that a device is being connected/disconnected when I plug/un-plug the cable from the phone on the PC. When the phone is connected to the PC, It won't show on "this PC" as any device. I did try re-starting the PC. I did update Itunes, and did a back up of my phone before the update, using the exact same cable.
Why is my iphone 4G w ios 7.1 not charing when connected to my Win 8.1 PC?

I found the solution on my own. I opened task manager, admin, computer management, device manager. I scanned for harware changes. Apple mobile device came up with an ! symbol. I right clicked and updated the apple mobile device driver. It took about 15 seconds, but...
I never had to do this with any computer on my iphone 3 or 4G on any computer. Would have been good to know, apple.

Phone will not turn on after IOS 4.0 update

So I updated to IOS 4.0 this afternoon. However during the process of copying all of my songs, vdeos etc back onto the phone it was interrupted and the phone reset itself.
Since then I have not been able to turn my phone on. All I get is the apple logo, then the screen flashes white and the phone tries to boot up again.
I cannot even get the phone into DFU mode to restore from my backup.
Does anyone have any siggestions as to where I can go from here?

I'm in the same position except the upgrade and sync went fine. It all seemed to have upgraded fine, even put my apps in folders.
About an hour later noticed it would not switch on. I forced quit and it turned on. Now it will only come out of sleep if it plugged in to itunes or if I force quit.
I have done a full reset which again went fine, restored from back up fine. Still will not come out of sleep without me holding down the power and home button for a few seconds. How can i put it back to the happy world that i was in before I upgraded.
I have seen a couple of suggestions but all seem to be if you are using a MAC, i'm on a PC.

My iphone wont connect to itunes after ios 7.0 update. Help!

I can not set up any of my apps after the new update. It keeps telling me to connect to itunes to enable push notifications. The message keeps popping up so I can not even use the app without having the push notifications enabled. I also am unable to activate my imessages. How can I fix this problem? Its rather annoying.

Ok this is how I fixed this. Apparently iTunes uses Safari.
Go to Settings -> Safari -> and Clear Cookies and Data and also Clear History - scroll down to see those settings.
Set Block Cookies to either "from third parties and advertisers" or "Never" (you choose which one)
In Advanced (scroll down its the last setting) make sure JavaScript in ON
Here is the last step I had to make to fix it - which may not apply to you. Some time ago I changed my primary email for apple. I noticed it was asking me to enter the password for the secondary email.
I went into iTunes and App Store, tapped my Apple Id and then Sign Out. I then resigned in using my primary Apple email and password.
Just to make sure, I turned the phone off and on, but honestly this may be optional.
I am now working again.
I hope this helps you.

IPhone 3GS Will not boot after iOS 4.3 Update....

I updated my wife's 3GS last night and when it was done it rebooted and started filling up the line under the apple logo like it always does after the software is loaded but after the bar fills up, the phone locks up and does not go past the apple logo with a full bar under it. - iTunes also locks up when you connect the phone. I've tried to restore it but it does the same thing.... any ideas?

You're further than I am!! Mine's frozen on the apple with an empty progress bar. And absolutely nothing seems to be working. I've tried taking the SIM card out, tried restoring to previous system, but Itunes won't recognise the phone. It's absolutely doing my head in and I'm going out of town in the morning and really don't fancy being without my phone!

Hello Kimbo1991,
It sounds like your phone is not successfully booting even though you have reset the device. I would next recommend attempting a backup and restore to iTunes with this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If you are unable to restore with iTunes I would next put the device into recovery mode, and attempt the restore again:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
