Iphone won't turn on after being dropped?lock button doesn't work

I dropped my iPhone 4s onto the ground , and the screen is black. I've looked at other apple discussions and they said to hold onto the home and lock button. However, my lock button doesn't work! I've been using assistive touch on my iPhone ever since the lock button stopped working

If you haven't, try connecting it to your charger. If that doesn't bring it back to life, there's nothing more you can try without a working sleep/wake button.

IPhone 3GS Not Turning On After Being Dropped

I dropped my 3GS on a tile floor today (NOT in water)and now its malfunctioning.
When I plug it into the wall charger it turns on an i get this screen: http://i53.tinypic.com/29zsvhx.png
I can only make emergency calls.
I can also click this little i and it says: *IMEI: unknown ICCD: unknown*
I have no clue what this means.
Whenever I unplug it from the wall the screen automatically goes black and i get this: http://i53.tinypic.com/2utnuol.jpg
The screen works fine when its plugged into the wall and there are no black spots where there isn't a picture.
When i plug it into the computer, and more specifically iTunes, nothing happens. It doesn't even turn on.
Ive tried doing a hard reset when its plugged into the wall (I cant other wise) and nothing changed, it went back to that same screen in the first picture.
I cant for the life of me figure out whats wrong with this thing, help?

It's broken. Probably beyond repair.
IF there is no visible sign of damage, they might cover it under warranty, if it's still under warranty. Otherwise, you're probably going to have to investigate 3rd party repair or just get a new phone.

My ipod turned off and won't turn back on, help! Home button doesn't work and neither does Recboot!

Hello! So I've had my Generation 5 IPOD for nearly two years. Tonight after a shower I tried to charge my IPOD (thinking it had just died because it was short on battery anyway) but it didn't turn on. I would reboot it by pressing the power and home button but sad to say, my home button stopped working about a month ago. : ( After this, I tried connecting it to a charger, two computers AND I downloaded Recboot with the extensions for a PC/Windows, it still did not want to connect. I'm not sure what to do besides maybe taking it to a Apple Store and getting the home button fixed and try to reboot it manually as I always have in the past. Any advice? Right now it's black with no signs of connecting to any machines. If I can't get the home button fixed, could I wait until the battery drains for it to just get recharge? If so how long does it take for the IPOD battery to just die so I can do this? Granted it was always sorta dying before this happened (it was red.) so it shouldn't or wouldn't take too long right?
Please! : ( Any help would be appreciated. I live in a small town and the closet Apple store is about an hour away.

If the screen and iPod does not show any life then letting the batter drain will not do anything.
If you tried another cable and tried ReBoot on another computer and still problem then your iPod has to be repaired/replaced

My iPhone 4s shut off and won't turn back on? My lock button is broken, so I can not reboot it.

As I said, my lock button has broken so I can not use that to reboot it. My iPhone was charging when it shut off, i locked it and walked away from my phone for a few seconds and when I came back to unlock it, it was completely unresponcive. I use my phone to talk to all my friends and listen to music, please help asap. Also, I tried plugging it into my computer and it just won't do anything. Is my iPhone literally just, dead?

You can try and let the phone sit for a period and then try connecting it again to the power source. If that doesn't work, I cannot think of another solution. The only way to reset the phone in a case such as this is to old the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. However, since you say the sleep/wake button doesn't work, then there is no alternative. I'm puzzled though when you say that you locked the phone and walked away. If the lock button doesn't work, how did you do that?

Lock button doesn't work on iPhone 4

Lock button doesn't work

I fixed my powerbutton easily with some
water repellent oil. I dont know what its called, it is that thing you use for locks and hinges anyway. My iphone powerbutton has been working for like 7 months now. There is no difference from when it was new! I can really recomend this. Just remember to turn of the phone and have it upside down when you spray. And dont use to much! Theres no need for more than a few drops.

I updated my iphone 5 to 6.1.2 and my lock button will not work anymore and idea what i can do to fix this

i updated my iphone 5 to 6.1.2 and my lock button will not work anymore and idea what i can do to fix this or what i can do to get it fixed

I'm having similar issues with my phone. I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year. Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas. When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore. I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting. That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore. I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router. When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there. Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

How to unlock an iphone 3gs when it's sim locked and the lock button doesn't work???

I bought this iphone 3gs off an app. I just want to use it as an ipod. it is sim locked (with two attempts left) and the lock button doesn't work at all. What can I do? I just want to use it as an ipod.
I have also tried everything. I took the sim card out and put it back in again. And I have also left it out. And I have tried connecting it to itunes but I need to unlock. (some of these were suggested by the seller)
Please help me.

My guess - and this is completely a guess - is that the SIM in that phone has a PIN that was added to it by the previous owner. Whomever you bought it from didn't bother to check for this (or didn't care) before they got it from the previous owner.
You need to get a new AT&T SIM for that phone - you could even borrow one from a friend if they have one that will fit the phone. You would only need the SIM to activate it.
There is no way to activate an iPhone without a SIM in it, even if you don't plan to use it as anything other than an iPod.

Do I need insurance to get a new iPhone if my lock button doesn't work?

I have an iPhone 4 and my lock button doesn't work anymore. I've asked around and some of my friends think it's a malfunction in the spring, I was wondering if I could get a new phone since it's a malfunction and that it's not my fault.

Hi
If it's within the first year's warranty or within the extended applecare warranty period it will be repaired free of charge provided the fault does not contravene the conditions of the warranty.
If it's out of warranty you can pay for an out-of-warranty repair.
Either way you should take it to either your service provider or your nearest apple store.
HTH?

HT201401 My lock button doesn't work, but I turned my phone off using touch assist. How can I turn it back on

IPhone won't turn on after brief blue screen.

My iPhone is currently broken, won't turn on after a blue screen appeared briefly. Won't even connect to my PC or iTunes. Won't even charge with my charger or using a new charger from a family member. Won't hard reboot by holding home top button. Anyone know what my situation is? Checked over the internet and couldn't find any similiar situations. Also this occured after i was browsing Reddit so nothing intense was occuring on my phone at the time.

I'm afraid you'll have to get it looked at by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider next to your place or by contacting Apple:

IPhone won't turn on after attempting to restore!

My iPhone will not turn on after trying to restore it it starts to boot up fine then it goes back to the black screen and it keeps doing this please help!

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

IPhone won't turn on after trying to restore to beta version.

I was trying to restore my iPhone to the latest beta version and during the restore, an error occurred and my iPhone won't turn on, and iTunes does not recognize it anymore. Now, when i try to turn it on, the logo appears and then appears the "connect to iTunes" image and IMMEDIATELY the screen turns white and Apple's logo appears again and starts all over again.

If you're a registered developer, you have access to the developers forums. iOS 5 beta can NOT be discussed in the public forums. If you're not a developer, bummer... you shouldn't have installed a stolen beta on your phone, should ya?

myiphone 4s wont turn on after being charge brought it on the 7/1/2014 not very impressed with apple

You're device may have a hardware failure; My recommandation is talk to them like polite gentlemen; I've worked in customer service before. You get a lot further and people are willing to do a lot more work for someone who is polite and respectful.
Just explain you bleiev eyou have a potential hardware failure on your device and ask for assistance

My iPhone died and wont turn back on. My home button doesn't work to reboot it.

It died last night and I put it on the charger and nothing happens not even the battery symbol comes up. I do have the iOS 7. I can't restart it because my home button doesn't work and i have to use assistive touch. It won't show up on itunes when i tried to plug it in. It's not the charger because it works on my other i-devices. I have an iphone 4.

If the screen and iPod does not show any life then letting the batter drain will not do anything.
If you tried another cable and tried ReBoot on another computer and still problem then your iPod has to be repaired/replaced
