IPhone won't power on or show battery icon after discharge.

My iPhone4 ran out of battery.  I plugged as soon as I could after it ran out (within 15 mins) and charged it overnight.  It won't power on this morning and does not show the charged battery icon on the screen.  The phone is only 4.5 months old and has never been left in a car or extreme heat.  I always let the bettery run down to <10% before charging and then charge back to full capacity.   I have tried holding down the home key and the sleep/wake buttons individually and together and nothing.  Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help.  I had tried to connect it to the computer on my own and found out that my version of iTunes must  be too old to talk to my iPhone4.  I am still running 10.4.11 on my PowerBook G4 which uses an older version of iTunes.  I don't use the music feature on my phone to conserve my battery for Apps and other features I really like and leave the music to my Shuffle.  Guess I am really lucky it doesn't work as I would hate to loose my photos of my new grandson.  I need to find a quick way to send them to backup storage.
When I disconnected after trying the computer and tried your suggestion of holding it until I saw the symbol, it finally worked.  Guess I did not hold them both together for long enough.  The battery only shows 31% even though it was on wall charger all night.  I will use it as is today and charge it overnight again to see if it gets a full charge.

    My Iphone won't power on. It just stopped working. It' been working fine with no porblems whatsover. Go figure. What do I do?

    I had this same issue today and my battery said it was 98% life. I only bought this iphone 5 exactly one month ago new, Wonder if the battery is already having issues this early. I charge it every evening and I have never gone in a single day below 73% battery life.

  • Power/Lock button showing volume icon

    Power/Lock button showing volume icon and turns it all the way down. Volume rocker will only increase not decrease. Cannot lock iPad without it muting my sound. Everytime I touch the power button it turns the iPad on when it is off. When I turn it on and press it to lock my iPad it turns my volume down. Is it malfunctioning or will iOS 6 fix this.

  • Why does screen show battery icon with red ring?

    Why does screen show battery icon with red ring?

    What does it give as a percent charge"  The red band usually means the battery charge level is getting critically low and it needs to be recharged.

    Hi,
    So switch a LAN card fix this issue...seems a compatibility issue or maybe some packs or programs you installed recently cause this issue.
    Have you manually check the network adapter driver from the PC's manufacture website? sometimes, it will be a time delay before Microsoft push out the driver update.
    Check if issue exists in safemode with network, this mode will launch Windows with limited sets of files and drivers. 
    if you have a restore point, restore the pc to a previous point at which the pc is functioning fine.

    If no change after trying all things included with on-line support, there is nothing else to try. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

  • Nano won't power on, but shows up in My Computer and iTunes

    I recently replaced the screen in my Nano and for about a day it worked fine. Then I opened it back up to clean off a smudge and now it's slightly less than functional.
    First off before anyone asks, I use a PC, not a Mac. I run Windows XP Home Edition. And my iTunes version is 6.0.4.2.
    Now my problem...
    When not connected to my computer the device is useless, it won't power on, the wheel is unresponsive, no sound comes from the headphones, it's dead.
    But when I connect it to my computer it shows up in My Computer and in iTunes and all of my songs show up and I can double click them and play them, but the screen on the Nano still remains dark and the wheel still does nothing.
    Another strange thing is that My Computer and iTunes will only recognize it when I turn "hold" on. If hold is off it refuses to show up at all.
    I downloaded the latest iPod software and it stopped showing up at all, so I uninstalled that and reverted back to whatever version I have now. I've tried to let it charge for 24 hours, that did nothing. I formatted it and let my computer re-install it's system files and what-not, that did nothing. I've tried to reset it, nothing. And I've mashed all the buttons and circled around the wheel endlessly to no avail.
    I really have no clue what might have caused this or how to fix it, if anyone has any suggestions I'm willing to try them, because at this point it can't get that much more broken.
    So um, thanks for any help. If anyone actually manages to help me fix this thing and you have a PayPal account I'll toss you like $20 or something for your time, because it's cheaper than buying a new Nano.

    Wow. I have no idea, I have never opened my ipod to do any do-it-yourself repairs. Of course (as you probably already know) your warranty is now voided since you opened it up and made alterations to it.
    I wouldn't know where to start troubleshooting this, as I am unclear as to the cause of the issue.

  • Adaptor won't power my PB: the battery is running out!

    I was wondering if anyone found a solution to the problem below that I found in this forum. I am having the same problem and don't know what to do. Just wish that this wasn't an internal problem.
    ========================================================
    I've got a 1.33Ghz PowerBook G4 15" and I am having problems with the AC adaptor.
    When I plug the adaptor in, the light on the adaptor turns orange but won't charge the battery or power the computer - it will only run from the battery. If I wiggle the connector where it plugs into the computer then the light goes green but still won't power the computer.
    The connector where it plugs into the computer feels quite loose, do you think replacing it would work, or is it an internal problem?

    When you say connector are you referring to the port that you plug the adaptor into ON the computer? THAT is loose? Or are you talking about the plug part?
    Did you ever get your problem resolved?
    All of a sudden I'm having an issue when I plug the adaptor into the port it glows for a brief second and then it stops, so it's not powering or charging my powerbook. I can't use it because there is only 4% battery life left. I don't know if it''s the adaptor or the PB itself...nothing is loose. But I'm a little annoyed because this computer has only been lightly used as a backup, so it's practically brand new and a little premature for things to just stop working...
    I can't remember what OS and I can't check right now. It's over a year old.

  • Pavilion dv7 3079wm won't power up with/without battery or ac cord

    Tried to power up with a.c. cord or battery. Leads flash once attempts to start, then goes out.

    I hope you folks won't mind my piggy-backing on this thread.  I have a very similar problem with a dv7 (belongs to my grandmother).
    When I plug in the AC adapter, the small LED next to the socket usually does not light up, but will flash briefly when the power cable is removed.  The AC adapter is fine, because I've used it to charge and run my dv5 with no problems.  If I unplug and then plug the AC adapter into the socket repeatedly, eventually at some random point the LED will stay on.
    However...
    The battery light is slowly flashing.  It flashes anytime the AC adapter is plugged in (whether or not the LED next to the jack lights up).
    The computer won't power up.  It tries to for a second or two, then shuts down... as if the battery was critically low.
    Now the thing that puzzles me -- The computer won't start up on AC power without the battery installed.  I can do this on my dv5 with no problem.  It does not require the battery to be installed.  I figured if the battery is completely dead in the dv7, that it may be confusing the system and not allow it to start at all.  But, trying to start up the dv7 without a battery does absolutely nothing at all.
    I'm hoping that the dv7 is designed to always work with a battery and that all I need to do is just install a new one.  Does that seem sensible?  I just don't want to buy one (they cost a whopping $140 from HP!) only to find that the computer is suffering from a more serious problem.

  • Macbook Air mid-2013 suddenly not booting - showed battery icon then died

    Hi all,
    This morning, I used my Macbook Air (mid-2013) to send an email and check up on my usual stuff, nothing I've not done hundreds of times. I then closed the lid and went to work. Again, nothing I've never done before.
    When I got home though, I opened the Macbook and it didn't wake up, which I thought was odd. So I pressed the power button. For a few seconds, it showed an icon in the middle of a black screen that was related to the battery - sorry I can't recall exactly what it looked like, its the first time I've seen it, but it showed an empty battery with a small red part of it left - obviously understood as meaning the battery was flat.
    I was puzzled at this; it should have been asleep since I'd closed the lid, how could it have run out? I was only gone for about 8 hours as well, I usually get more battery life than that out of it when I'm actually using it, never mind when its sleeping.
    But I thought whatever, and plugged it in for a few minutes to charge it up enough to turn on and maybe see why it had done this. The orange light came on the Magsafe end, but after a few minutes, still nothing.
    Cue much panicking and looking around at things, and this is what I've discovered/tried:
    - The battery appears to be charging, the light eventually went green.
    - When I press the power button, the Mac does power on; I can hear the fan inside if I put my ear to it (note that this means its really quiet, its not blowing at full power or anything), and the Mac is getting hot on the left hand side where the power adapter plugs in. It turns on both when plugged in and when its not. So the battery has power and the machine is turning on, it just isn't booting or doing anything. I can turn it off if I hold the power button down for about 3 seconds, the fan stops. But everything else is completely unresponsive. Also, it gets quite hot pretty quick, hotter than it normally does when in use.
    - I've reset the SMC, several times. When I do this, the light on the Magsafe goes green for a second, then back to orange, as though I've just plugged it in. I guess this means it is responding to the SMC reset, but it does nothing in terms of getting the thing started. This is the first thing people suggest with this problem, but I've already done it and while it seems to be doing its thing, it doesn't fix the problem.
    - I've tried resetting the PRAM/NVRAM. This has no noticeable affect on anything.
    - I've tried holding a bunch of different keys when starting up (cmd+R etc.) but again, nothing.
    - I've tried something crazy suggested in another thread; leaving the Macbook partially opening and shaking it, which supposedly does something to the "sudden motion sensor". I wouldn't have tried this but a whole bunch of people said it worked for them, but it does nothing for me. The fact this step didn't work is why I made a new thread; because the issue with those people seemed to be that their Macs wouldn't wake up from sleep/hibernation and shaking it somehow did that, or they just magically woke up on their own.
    And at this stage I seem to have run out of thing to try.
    I've made an appointment at the Genius bar but the earliest they could do is Saturday, which is pretty crappy and I'm going travelling in less than 2 weeks, so I really need my Macbook to sort out the details since a lot of info about it is on there exclusively.
    Does anyone know any reason why this might have happened?
    Why would the battery drain so fast when it was supposed to be sleeping?
    Why will it now not boot at all, even though it's powering up in some way? Could it not booting be related to the fact the battery seemed to run completely flat, and this has done something to the software or hardware?
    Any suggestions beyond what I've tried already?
    If I can't get it working before my Genius appointment, I'll post what happens here just in case any one else has this issue so people will have an idea of what might have happened to them.
    Thanks in advance!

    You could try booting the MBP using the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys and see if it will connect to the Apple servers.  This would allow you to install the original OSX .  I have my doubts though.
    - I've tried something crazy suggested in another thread; leaving the Macbook partially opening and shaking it, which supposedly does something to the "sudden motion sensor".
    The Sudden Motion Sensor is applicable for conventional Hard Drives, not the SSD that is in a MBA.  Doing that will serve no useful purpose.
    You have exhausted all reasonable options and will just have to have the MBA evaluated at the genius bar.
    Ciao.
