IPhone screen blank and won't turn on/off

I went to the camera app from the lock screen and the app seemed to freeze, so I pressed the home button. The screen went blank and now won't turn on. Oddly, when I plugged it into iTunes on the computer, I was able to sync, and I can get Siri by holding the home button. Also the phone will ring if called, but I cannot answer it. Please help.
iPhone 5S. Just installed latest iOS update yesterday. Never had any problems before.

    If it was stolen the thief will wipe it with the result that you will not be able to track it.
    Contact your carrier.  They may be able to block further use of the phone.  No good to you but then no good to the thief either.

  • IPhone went dead and won't turn back on

    My iPhone 5 was a refurbished phone that I received under warranty in November. However, it worked fine until last week when it started turning off at 50% and below (which is the same reason why I had to get this refurbished phone in the first place). But because it immediately turned back on, I thought nothing of it and ignored it. However, my phone went dead two days ago and won't turn back on. I've used two chargers that worked the day of, but it wouldn't charge with either of those and those wouldn't even connect my phone to my laptop. So, thinking and hoping it was both of the cords malfunctioning, I went out and bought another cord. My phone still won't turn on, Apple Support refuses to help in any way because my warranty out, and I'm lost.

    Plug it in to a wall outlet so it has power, then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.

  • My iphone got wet and won't turn on

    Yesterday, my iphone 4 fell into water .... it was completely submerged for about 10 seconds before I could remove it. It worked for about 5 minutes after it happened, but then it shut off and won't turn on. Now it's sitting in a pot of dry rice (people told me to put it in rice because it dries stuff out). Is there anything I can do? will it work again?? Am I doomed??

    Your phone is fried. You can get an out of warranty replacement at an Apple Store.

  • IPhone 4s is blank and won't turn on..

  • My iphone is broken and won't turn on. How can i transfer my contacts and music to my new phone?

    My iphone 4s's lock button broke. My phone won't turn on. I ordered an iphone 5s. How can i tun on my iphone 4s and transfer my contacts,music, and other things to my new iphone? Please help

    The following gives instructions on how to transfer to a new device via either iCloud (top section) or iTunes (bottom section). Assuming that you already have a backup via one of those methods you can skip the first few steps and go directly to the restore instructions. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

  • Screen flashes and won't turn on, what could be broken?

    Hi guys,
    All of a sudden my macbook pro won't turn on anymore. I press the power button and the screen flashes for a second, the front light stays on, white, but nothing happens, no noises at all, not even the harddrive or the cpu cooler startup. I really don't know what could have happened and what I can do, could you guys help me?

    Between 1 and 2 seconds I press the power button and the screen flashes. After that I press and hold the power button to turn the light off.

    My guess is that you have a hardware problem that needs repair.
    You might try removing the battery and the AC power and then holding the power button down for at least 5 seconds, then replace battery and AC power and see if it will work.

  • Nokia C3-01 - white screen blinking and won't turn...

    Yesterday evening I wanted to make a call and took the phone but the display was just blinking with the screen completely white and didn't respond to any keys (actually I couldn't turn it off, so I had to remove the battery). After placing the battery back after some time nothing changed, it still blinked. I tried to remove it for the whole night but no success again. Everything is still the same. This happened to me about a month ago for a couple of times and after few days it started to act normally. What's the problem with my phone? Can anybody help me and tell me what to do?
    Thank you in advance

    it happened to me too. 2-3 weeks after i bought my new c3-01 screen gone white and never returned. I went to a nokia service store and after 2 weeks i got it back with a software update ''they told me'' . After a couple of days again tha same problem! back to nokia store and again 2-3 weeks of patience they replaced my c3-01 with another one. They said that the problem was on the electronic board (i dont know if im saying this right)! I have the replaced phone for about 2 weeks. No problems yet its very early anyway...

  • Iphone: Screen gone black, Won't turn off, Restore has failed, 1.1.3

    Hi,
    I am having a problem with my iphone after upgrading to 1.1.3. The screen has gone black with a white spinning wheel(resembles a flower sort of).The wheel however is not spinning. I can see the top bar with the time, battery, and signal strength. The phone however will not turn off and restore yields an "Unknown Error (-19). Has anyone else had this problem after updating? Anyone have a fix for it or is this a job for the genius bar?
    Thanks for your replies.

  • IPhone shut down and won't turn back on

    Hello everyone,
    I've been enjoying my iPhone for quite some time and recently used the iPod function and docked the iPhone to my iPod Hi-Fi sound system...suddenly the screen goes all white and the phone shuts down. I tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't budge, i've attached it to the charger for about 4 hours now and still nothing. I've tried the home and power button reset but that didn't do anything...If anyone knows what's going on here, please let me know. Thanks for lookin!

    If you have charged it directly to the USB on your computer, and not on a hub the only thing that I can surmise is that it is down beyond repair.
    You cannot reset since there is no lock.
    I suggest you take it to the nearest Apple Store or AT&T Store, wherever you bought the phone and see where that leads. Of course you can also call AppleCare.

  • After opening Mail, my iPhone 6 crashed and won't turn on, help!

    Today on my iPhone 6 (regular, not a 6 Plus), I had 39 unread emails (according to the badge). I wanted to check them but once I opened the app, it just turned off, and now I can't turn it back on. I tried holding the sleep button for a couple of seconds, and then tried holding both the Home and Sleep button but both didn't work. Right now, I'm also trying to charge it. I reaallly need it to turn back on.

    Hello JCT0816,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPhone is not turning on as you would expect. You have already tried some great troubleshooting by trying to reset the iPhone as well. To continue troubleshooting, I would suggest reading over and working through the suggested troubleshooting outlined in the following attached article.

  • Screen blanking and won't restore (solved)

    Since the last update from testing (kernel 25.3) if I leave and the screensaver should start, the screen goes dark and the monitor doesn't turn off. The only way to fix it is to reboot. ??
    If I run xscreensaver-demo the screen also freezes.

    That was the problem. I updated to the latest nvidia from testing and it cured the problem.:D

  • My iPhone 4 died and won't turn back on. It's been on the charger for 17 hours.

    Last night my phone went completely dead while I was doing something for school. I put it on the charger as soon as I got into the car, maybe 30 minutes after it went dead. It's been charging for 17 hours and still shows an empty battery with a flash underneath.
    I've tried everything. I've attempted a hard reset multiple times, the screen goes black for maybe two seconds and then the empty battery comes back. Tried restarting my computer while my phone was plugged into it. Tried pressing the home button while plugging it into my computer. My computer isn't recognizing it when I plug the phone in.
    I am desperate. I don't have the money to buy a new phone. Please help.
    It hasn't been dropped. No water damage. I've never broken an iPhone before.

    Your only chance is connecting in recovery mode, as explained in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    iTunes has to tell you that it found an iPhone in recovery mode, otherwise you can't be sure that you put it into recovery mode.

  • IPhone 4 bricked and won't turn on after 4.1 update!

    Hey guys
    Hoping someone has any tips.
    Last night I update from 4.02 to 4.1. The update installed just fine. As soon as I unplugged my phone from the computer, the screen went black, as if it was turned off.
    Nothing I have done turns it back on. Neither the power or the Home buttons do anything. I've tried doing a hard reset and nothing. I even held the buttons for over a minute.
    So I tried connecting it to the wall charger as well as back on the computer. It still doesn't turn on at all.
    Do I just need to get it replaced?

    Ok, so I went to try that and run the program it said I needed .Net Framework 4.0 installed, so I was on my way to update that so I could try to run the program.
    Anyway, before I did that, a coworker comes by and I show her that my phone is dead. I unplug it from my computer (it's not charging or anything) and I start pressing the power button rapidly to show her it's dead. All of a sudden the screen turns on and shows me that the battery is drained and needs to be recharged. I quickly connect my phone back to the computer and it begins charging. After a few minutes the Apple logo appear and it is detected on my computer! It is currently charging and is seen in iTunes. All is well again.
    What's weird is that I know for a FACT that the battery was not dead when the update was done. In fact the phone showed FULL battery right before I unplugged it the first time.
    I don't know if it was a combination of the steps above or what, but whatever it was, I appreciate everyone's input.
