IPhone dies of unknown cause?

Here is my problem summed up, I went on vacation for 10 days and had my iPhone off the entire time. I turned it on Sunday morning and made a few calls and it was working perfectly. Then after awhile on the trip home, the battery drained and the iPhone went black screen with the scrolling circle in the middle telling me its going into standby and I need to charge it. I get home and plug it into the wall charger, and nothing happens. After 7 hours of charging, still no reply. Just a blank black screen. Even if I change outlets, chargers, USB wires, or even plugging it into the computer, it won't recognize the iPhone for a restore. I tried holding the Home button and Wake button for longer than 6 seconds. Nothing works and I have NO idea what happened. There are no dents, scratches, anything. It just died? Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I had just installed 3.0 when it came out and that's the latest software update and I have not downloaded any apps since then if, that matters at all. Please someone give me some ideas!
Thanks!

Hi. I just got off the phone with tech support to tell them that I found the source and fixed the problem that was created by there poor assembly technic. I was trying to get Apple to either fix it for me correctly or replace the phone free of charge because it is not a hardware issue but an assembly issue. They said sorry the phone is out of warranty and there is nothong they could do. They did offer to sell me a new phone for the second time. I said no thanks. I have many years experience in electronics so if you never did any soldering before dont start now you will damage the phone circuit bord. For now do not attempt to open the phone they told me that voided the warranty. I didnt car because the phone was already toast. I will tell you to call as many people in Apple as you can and tell them what what is happenin with your phone and what I found. Feel free to give them my profile name mabe we can make enough waves to make them do somthing about the problem they created. Try these numbers and make some noise they just might hear us and stand up to the plate. Please let me know how it goes. If you choose to still try and open your phone you can google instructions on how to open original iphone. Be very carfull, otherwise take it to a phone repair center they can do a better job than you and me.

  • ITunes Cannot connect to iPhone due to unknown error (0xE8000065)

    Hello!
    When I plugin my iphone to a wall, it refuses to charge (it just keeps making a bleeping noise).
    And when I try to connect my iPhone to iTunes, I can't. It just says: iTunes Cannot connect to iPhone due to unknown error (0xE8000065)
    Any suggestions? I replaced the battery hoping that would do the trick, but nada.
    Cheers

    Did you try a different charger and a different cable? If it won't charge the error will go away soon also when the battery dies.

    That is either going to be a hardware failure or your phone is jailbroken and something has gone awry with the baseband.

  • ITunes could not copy "Song Name" to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (-50)

    Recently when I tried syching one of my playlists into my iPhone 4 (Running on 5.1) using iTunes 11.2.0.26 for Windows (Windows XP SP3), I have been having a problem with some songs I acquired recently.  It will sync all the other songs, but when it reaches the song in question, the following error message pops up:
    "iTunes could not copy "Name of Song" to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (-50)"
    After which, it stops synching songs altogether.
    I tried TWO different USB connectors (BOTH from Apple), and the error still occurs.  When I remove the song in question, ALL songs sync normally.
    I used the 'Get Info' option to see if there was something in the way the song was coded.  This info is from one of the songs that gets synched normally:
    Kind:                  MPEG Audio file
    Size:                  11 MB
    Bit Rate:            256 kbps
    Sample Rate:     44.100 kHz
    Date Modified:    12/20/2009  4:33 PM
    Plays:               1
    Last Played:      1/22/2010  8:40 PM
    Format:             MPEG-1, Layer 3
    Channels:          Stereo
    ID3 Tag:            v2.3
    Encoded with:   LAME
    THIS is the info on the problematic song:
    Kind:                  MPEG Audio file
    Size:                  8.2 MB
    Bit Rate:            256 kbps
    Sample Rate:     44.100 kHz

    Last Played:      5/3/2013  8:40 PM
    Format:             MPEG-1, Layer 3
    Channels:          Joint Stereo
    ID3 Tag:            v2.3
    Encoded with:   LAME3.96
    By the way, BOTH song (The ones synching normally, and this unsynching song), where purchased and downloaded from Amazon.com.
    ANY information that will help me solved this problem will be VERY appreciated.  Likewise, if you need any additional information, please let me know...
    Thanks for your time.

  • ITunes could not connect to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000001)

    Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I don't have the nerves to read through thousands of "I've got the same problem too" replies. I do not care whether anyone has the same problem. So if you don't have any solution do not post! I'm not being rude, I'd just keep this discussion as accessible for other readers as possible. Besides, shouting "me too" doesn't really help anyone. Thank you.
    Here's my problem, I sync my iPhone via iTunes 10.5.2, which works fine but after a while it prompts with an error message "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000001)". This error message will not disappear and I have to force shut-down iTunes. It works OK for a while after re-start but the error comes back after a while. It is a very annoying little problem because I was waiting for WIFI syncing for so long and now it doesn't work properly
    Any ideas how to remedy this?

    If the iPad is running iOS 7, the security feature is called Activation Lock.
    There is no way around it. Hopefully he will be able to get the Apple ID password
