IPhone won't turn on... possibly a sudden battery failure?

Hi,
So my iPhone was working fine, i received a call, put it down... but next time I go to check something I push the home button and nothing happens.
I've tried turning it on - nothing, charging it - nothing, taking the sim card out etc - nothing.
I tried calling too, and just goes to voicemail.
I bought it off a work colleague as a replacement for a lost one, so I have no idea of the serial number, and its definately out of warranty.
Any idea what the problem is? Feels like a sudden and total battery failure, but I don't even know how I'd get that sorted/replaced!
Please help me someone!!
Thanks, Matt

Does it charge if you connect to the adapter? If yes, let it charge for about 20min. then connect in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If it does not charge, contact Apple to get it serviced, see these details about the battery replacement program: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/battery/
or more on the Out-of -Warranty Service here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/#warranty7

A four year battery could be dead. I'd contact an Apple Service Center.

Reset your phone:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

HT201401 my iPhone 5 randomly switched itself when somebody was calling me and now won't turn on. it had 90% battery, I've tried factory reset, connecting to iTunes and nothing works. the phone is approx 18 months old so surprise surprise out of warranty.

My 5S just started doing this on Thursday: every fraction of a second or so it oscillates between connecting and disconnecting with the charger (USB or wall, doesn't matter). Since it's still under the limited warrantee, I took it to the local Mac dealer (I live in a small town w/out an Apple store) and they shipped it off. I'm waiting now for the replacement--telephonless, too!
What concerns me is that many people seem to be having this issue.
You were right to be suspicious of the Apple store employees. Once they replicated the behavior that you experienced, they should have immediatly offered to exchange your phone. Anything else, in my opinion, is unacceptable. As long as your phone is still doing it, I'd go back, ask for the manager and tell them to exchange your phone.

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

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?

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!

It probably overheated and shut down. Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears. This will take 10 to 15 seconds of holding both buttons.

HT1296 Since I downloaded iOS 7, my iPhone is constantly turning itself off and the battery useage is twice what it used to be. I want iOS 6 back! How do I uninstall iOS 7?

I downloaded iOS 7.0.2, and now my iPhone 5 keeps turning itself off and the battery useage is twice what it was. I want iOS 6 back! How do I uninstall iOS 7?>

So, after it charged and was still plugged in, I deleted the Exchange account and then reset it holding down the sleep wake buttons until the apple logo appeared. I also changed the limit on my emails to 3 days instead of 1 week. It turned on, so I turned it off and let it charge overnight. This morning, it stayed on for 3 whole hours and then shut itself off again. I had to try 5 times to get it to come back on. Now, a message appeared that Exchange cannot verify a server, I can't see the full name of the server anymore, but it is *.hotmail.com GlobalSign Root CA from Microsoft. So I'm selecting Accept to see what happens. I'm very discouraged, I need my phone to be reliable for my work. It was reliable for 11 months without one problem, and now since I downloaded iOS 7, it hasn't been on for one full day since.
