My 8520 just cpmpletely shut off and wont turn back on.

It had enough battery power but just shut off and wont turn back on, even after charging.  I tried to remove the battery and put it back, still nothing, only the red light indicator is steadily on.  What needs to be done to restore the device?
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Try leaving it on the charger yet doing nothing with it for at least 2 hours. Then try to power it on.
Good luck and let us know!

  • My iPhone 4 just randomly shut off and wont turn back on

    i was in class and got a text that i ignored. during the class, i got 2 or 3 more vibrations, notifications or new texts, i dont know.
    once class was over, i decided to check my texts, however, my phone wouldn't turn on.
    i tried holding the power button for a tad, thinking it might've shut off on its own, knowing it was pretty much full charge, maybe at about 91% battery life.
    i know the phone shuts off at around 3% to conserve memory, and when this happens it shows you a red empty battery image when you try to turn it and then shuts off again. this did not happen so im pretty sure it's not the battery. i thought perhaps it had overheated so i waited a few hours. it's been around 9 hours, i don't think it overheated. i plugged it in the charger, that didnt do anything. i waited half an hour as i know when the battery is really low, it doesnt turn on right away when you plug it in. nothing happens i can't seem to get it to work. my computer doesn't recconize it either.
    i have tried all combinations of buttons. i've held the power button, i've held the home button for 10 sec, i've held both, i tried putting it in DFU mode but NOTHING is working. im seriously panicking because i am no longer in warranty and it really ***** that it just broke like that while i was doing nothing...
    if anyone can please help me get this baby running again, ill much appreciate it

    Hold the Main Screen Button for a few seconds, then press the top button. My iPhone4s does this, I havent really found a solution on why it does this. But I found the solution to turn it back on, Holding the Main Screen Button for a few seconds then pressing the top button worked for me. If I find out why it does this and how to fix it, ill be back to repost.

    Do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • My iPhone 4 is shut off and wont turn back on, unless i plug it in an outlet & when i do that it says "connect to Itunes" & then i do that and the phone wont turn on & it shows nothing is plugged in . HELP!

    & it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.

    Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
    Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
    To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

    ronicr76,
    First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
    > The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
    So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
    You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    Once your files are off try an SMC reset:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also.

  • My Iphone 4 shut off and wont turn back on, will a reset wipe my Data?

    My Iphone 4 shut off and wont turn back on. If I do a reset with the power and home buttons will I for sure lose all data that hasn't been backed up on my computer in the last week?

    No.
    A reset is very similar to rebooting your computer.

  • I was using my ipad 2 and i got up to use the bathroom and 2 minutes later it was shut off and wont turn back on. what is wrong?

    I was using my ipad 2 and got up to use the bathroom and 2 minutes later tried to use it and it was shut off and wont turn back on. What is wrong?

    We really can't tell you what happened, but you can get your iPad up again, by rebooting:
    Hold the power and home button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (hold past the swipe to shut down) and when the Apple logo appears, let go of both buttons and your iPad will come back to life. 

  • IPhone randomly shuts off and wont turn back on again.

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my iPhone 4. It randomly shuts off and wont turn on again until i plug in the charger. This happens at least once a day and is extremly annoying and i can´t really use it anymore. I´ve tried a reset but with no results. Please help me out, thanks

    Hello again,
    I know there been a while, but I just need to tell you this
    I tried a restore and it didn´t work out. The same problem just continued and i started using and old phone instead. A couple of days ago I read something about ios6, and I thought: Why not try it on my iPhone that I don´t use? I installed ios6 and since then the phone have worked perfectly, except for one single hangup but then it was just to restart it. Ios6 beta 2 is actully really stable. I mean, now at least it´s a fully functional phone.

  • Emac shut off, and wont turn back on...what do i do?

    I was sitting on the computer just working on some stuff and it just...shut off completely. It wont turn back on. Please help!

    Zadee...
    First elimate any power related issues like
    connections, switches, cords, outlets and so on.
    Don't forget circuit breakers.
    Other than that, you may wish to reset the PMU by
    pressing it once, and let it sit few hours before
    pluging it back in. (Unplug first, of course)
    You'd have to pull the battery, too. And usually if the PMU hasn't cleared after 5 minutes max with no power and no battery, it ain't gonna.
    The PMU button is located inside once you remove the
    memory door.
    Beyond this, contacting a Apple Repair Service would
    be the next step.
    If it's not external power (power cable, wall socket, that kind of thing) and it's not the PMU, it's almost certainly either the power supply (which end-users aren't supposed to mess with and even techs usually simply toss and replace if it breaks) or the motherboard. (Ditto.) Pray that it's the power supply, that's a relatively cheap fix. Motherboards are expensive.

  • My phone shut off and wont turn back on

    my iPhone4 shut off and won't turn back on...what do i do?

    It could just be the power. Apple says you should completely drain the battery and completely recharge it at least once a month. When completely drained, as they say, it takes a bit after being plugged in again for the iPhone to start responding again.
