Iphone shut off and wont start

My iphone 4 suddenly shut off and wouldn't restart, i have looked on the internet and tried charging from mains, computer, pressing the home and top button together for 10 seconds to one minuite and holding the home button whilst connecting to itunes. My computer will not recognise my phone to itunes as it will not even come up and it is definately not the computer. I have re installed itunes also. When i connect to the computer it will flash with the silver apple frequently but that is all. i did not buy m phon from apple so could i still go and have them look at it? Please help

Thankyou but it is definately not the adapter as my family are charging their apple devices on their and it s perfectly fine. I have since taken my phone to a repair shop involved with apple and they say should end my phone into apple and pay for a replacement, how can i do this?

  • My iphone shut off and wont turn back on

    My iphone shut off on it's own and will not turn back on. It is only a few weeks old and has not suffered any trauma. Is there a way to reboot it?

    Press and hold both the Home Button and Sleep/Wake Button together for a minimum 30 seconds or until the Apple symbol appears.

  • My iphone shut off and wont turn back on, what should i do

    i need help ASAP

    You may have to try to force it into restore mode. See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. You may have to do this more than once. If this doesn't work, then you will need to make an appointment with the Genius Bar to have the hardware evaluated.

  • My iphone 3gs is off and wont start up.

    My iphone 3gs is off and wont start up. And when plugg it into the charger it starts up for a minute and shut down. but whithout charger dosnt do anything. Cant restore and it is not a battery problem.

    Sure sounds like faulty battery.
    Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.

  • IPhone randomly shuts off and wont turn back on again.

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my iPhone 4. It randomly shuts off and wont turn on again until i plug in the charger. This happens at least once a day and is extremly annoying and i can´t really use it anymore. I´ve tried a reset but with no results. Please help me out, thanks

    Hello again,
    I know there been a while, but I just need to tell you this
    I tried a restore and it didn´t work out. The same problem just continued and i started using and old phone instead. A couple of days ago I read something about ios6, and I thought: Why not try it on my iPhone that I don´t use? I installed ios6 and since then the phone have worked perfectly, except for one single hangup but then it was just to restart it. Ios6 beta 2 is actully really stable. I mean, now at least it´s a fully functional phone.

    & it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.

    Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
    Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
    To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

  • My Iphone 4 shut off and wont turn back on, will a reset wipe my Data?

    My Iphone 4 shut off and wont turn back on. If I do a reset with the power and home buttons will I for sure lose all data that hasn't been backed up on my computer in the last week?

    No.
    A reset is very similar to rebooting your computer.

  • My iPhone shut off and won't turn back on.  What should I do?

    My iphone shut off and won't turn back on.  What should I do?

    sometimes if the battery drains completely you will need to leave it plugged into a charger for 10-15 minutes before you get any activity at all.  this is normal

  • My iphone shut off and I can't get it back on!

    My iphone shut off and won't turn back on, even if connected to the charger. I see other responses have said to hold down the power and home buttons together. Where is the home (or sleep) button? I know where the power button is. Thanks

    Flip the Vibrate/Mute switch on and off, does the iPhone Vibrate? If yes, then your iPhone is on and the screen is out. If no vibrate then try the following......
    Leave your iPhone connected to the Wall Charger so the Battery can charge, which may be the problem. Then after at least 30 minutes, try to turn on your iPhone. You can push the Top (Power, On/Off, Sleep) button like normal. Or you could just unplug and then replug the charger or USB cable. Connecting iPhone is a way to turn it on. If this does not work you can hold at same time Both the Home button (the button at bottom of front screen) and the Power button (the top, on/off, sleep), hold both for about 15 seconds until the iPhone turns on. Holding both these buttons at same time is called a Reset.
    If this does not revive your iPhone you will have to Restore the Firmware in iTunes. Open iTunes, press the Home Button and then connect your iPhone to the computer with the USB cable, keep holding the Home Button until the iTunes screen appears on your iPhone. When iTunes prompts you Restore the Firmware.

    If the reset does not help, make an appointment at the Apple store.  If your phone is out of warranty and you can't afford what they want, google for local repair services.

    ronicr76,
    First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
    > The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
    So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
    You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    Once your files are off try an SMC reset:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also.
