Iphone wont turn on, I've tried everything

my iphone 4 turned off when i was charging it, and now it wont turn on. i've held the reset and home button, plugged it into the computer, cleaned it out, and charged it (even though the charging icon is not displaying)
HELP
why wont it turn on?

Hi juliekay4!
I have some troubleshooting steps for you to try regarding this issue:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
These steps come from this article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
As it states in the last step of the troubleshooting, if your issue is still not resolved, you will want to follow these instructions at the end of that article:

Iphone 4 wont turn on and ive tried everything

So for about two days my phone kept bugging out(apps randoly crashing and then the volume kept going up to max no matter how many times i turned it down) so I tried turning it off and on but it wouldn't turn on. I looked online for help and i have done everything it suggested; charging it, holing the power and home button down to reset it, plugging it into my computer to manually reset it(my computer wouldnt even recognize it), I even called apple support! i just told them that it wouldnt turn on and instead of further questions or tips they said theyd fix it for $130 dollars. but for that price id rather buy a brand new phone (thats not an iphone!) any other things i could try before I buy a new phone?

Ipod wont turn on or charge tried everything

My ipod isn't turning on it was working fine then it just randomly turned off. It wasn't dead i just left it charging over night and when i woke up it wass a black screen and itunes wont regonize it either. Its a 3rd gen its the newest white one with a camera and its 8 GB.I have tried to reset it and press the home and power button and also tried to plug it in and wait but nothing as worked.I havent went to an apple store yet but i really need help. I just got it around the end of january.

See if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so that you can restore the iPod.
otherwise, time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Please HELP! My iPod wont turn on! Ive tried everything...

Hi!
im from argentina, so.. sry for my english =)
Last weekend I wanted to upgrade my ipods (ipod g5) firmware to the new one.. After the firmware was loaded to the ipod, an apple appeared on my ipod screen. Ok.. but it usually appears a loading bar below the apple. After waiting a long time for the loading bar to appear, I thought it was frozen, so I pressed the reset buttons (menu+center).
Since then I wasnt able to turn on my ipod!!!
I have searched the internet and I found this terrible sentence:
"Do not reboot your iPod while it's booting for the first time after a firmware update (using the Apple updater). This will abort the ROM flashing, and will render your iPod dead."
Is this true? It must be another way to wake my ipod up, plz!!! I have paid a lot of money for it, and I really didnt know that! There was NO WARNING about that! How could I know?!
Anyone with some cool ideas to help me?
Thx a lot!

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )

If no joy... Try a Restore...

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi lacey88.
I found a helpful article that will help troubleshoot the power issue you are having with your iPhone. I realize that you may have already attempted most of these steps, so lets review the last three:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Steps 5-7
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
