IPhone won't turn on but shows up in iTunes?

Hi everyone. My iPhone suddenly shut off after a phone call, and since then won't turn on. Unfortunately, I cannot restart it because a few weeks ago my lock button stopped working. When I plugged it into my computer, it is showing up on iTunes but is still not turning on. No idea what to do. Thanks for all your help!

Hopefully and most likely faulty battery. If you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

    Have you tried to "Reset" your iPod Touch?
    *If you can't turn your iPhone or iPod touch on or off*
    You may need to reset. Important: Only reset your iPhone or iPod touch if it is no longer responding. To reset, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    See this Apple document:

  • The screen of my iPhone won't turn on but the touch is still responsive

    I went to sleep with my iPhone 4s next to me. When I woke up my phone would not cut on. Siri still works and I can still unlock my phone but the screen won't cut on. The touch is still on though because I can put my pass code in and unlock my phone. I've already tried holing down the home button and power button AND charging it. Neither of them worked.

    Try this First... No Data will be Lost..
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • My iphone won't turn on and wont connect to itunes

    I just got an iphone 4s from a close friend who was going to throw it away because they gave up on this problem and i dont want to. The iphone has never been exposed to water and I'm sure it's fine. It looks brand new, no scratches or anything of the sort.
    I have tried charging it. I have tried connecting it to itunes (itunes wont find it no matter what i do. I have even restarted my computer with the iphone hooked up to it and that did not work either.)
    I have tried to enter DFU mode. Nothing comes up. I am presuming that it is dead but I'm not sure. As i said, I just got it and it was from a friend. I have held down the home and start buttons for numerous amounts of time and nothing seems to be working. Is it actually a piece of trash? What should i do? I really want to fix this, as this may be my only chance to actually own an iphone.
    Apparently at one time it did work. I'm not sure when it was broken or how it was broken but I am unsure of what to do.

    This is what you do

    I'm afraid you'll have to get the phone serviced, dropping the phone must have damaged additional parts inside the phone.
    But Apple will not service the phone anymore, opening the phone and replacing the battery should only be done by authorized personal, not by users.
    You'll have to look for a 3rd party repair shop and see if they can fix this, sorry.

    Try resetting the SMC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    If it has a removable battery, try removing the battery.
    If neither works, then you may need to bring it in for service.  Bring the power adapter as well, as you may be able to determine if it is the power adapter at fault, or the computer's power supply.

  • My phone keeps freezing and I have the 5s and now it won't turn on but I can talk to sir

    My phone keeps freezing and I have the 5s and now it won't turn on but I can talk to sir

    If you can talk to Siri, but the screen is not turning on, try the 2 button reset.  Press and hold the Sleep/Wake (Power) Button and the Home Button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If that doesn't make you screen come back on, you can try restoring your iPhone. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • IPhone won't turn on

    Hey there, I recently replaced the home button on my iPhone 5s. Now it won't turn on but when I plug it into my computer, iTunes seems to detect it

    Bring it back to whomever replaced the home button.  Once someone other than Apple touched your phone, you forfeited your ability to get help from Apple including from this forum.

  • Reset iphone won't turn back on

    reset iphone won't turn back on

    Your post is extremely vague and several months old but hopefully this info can help others seeking a solution.  I too had a problem with my iPhone (3gs in my case) not coming back up. 
    What happened -- I was using it normally and it rebooted and was stuck on the apple for a long time and wouldn't ever get past it.  So I tried to reboot it by pressing power + home but it would just reset and never power off, and get stuck every time. 
    What I did to fix it -- I actually had to just remove the SIM card then reboot the phone.  After it came back up I put the SIM card back in.  It froze up for a short time after that as the service reactivated. But then it is back to normal now finally.  Whew!
