My iPhone 3G doesn't turn on? The worst bit is that the menu button doesn't work too well either.... Help!

I was charging it from 1300-2300 (10 hours) since the apple logo wasn't coming up but that lightning bolt sign appeared.
When I came back, my phone just has a black screen and isn't turning on.
The top menu button is practically useless and I've retries connecting it to iTunes but it doesn't even do that
I've had this iPhone for more than 3 years and with time it's worn on and so the menu button has faltered and I dunno what to do.
What can I do for it to turn on again??

By "menu button" I mean Power button -'not the home button!

  • The menu button is not working on my iPod Nano

    I cannot get back from anywhere. Once I have seleceted a track to play, the menu button does not work so that I cannot get back to all music or to choose other options such as radio. It does not make a click sound. It works occaisionally (once a week). Any ideas? Anyone had this problem before?

  • I have the iPhone 4 and just here recently the lock button has quit working all together.

    And I don't think I have insurance on it. I've had my iphone 4 a little over a year  and a half. Can someone please tell me what  to do?

    Use Assistive Touch for perfect Virtual Lock Button. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > white button will appear on screen, tap it > tap Device icon > tap Lock icon. It will function as perfect Lock Button. If you use it to turn OFF iPhone. Then you will need to connect iPhone to power ie charger or computer USB to turn it ON.

    my iPhone 4s doesn't work. i can not swipe to open it or to even turn it off. what can i do??????

    I would attempt a reset. This is done by holding both the powerbutton and the home button for about 10 seconds for it to restart.
    When it boots back up, test the issue. If the issue persists, I would then recommend a restore through iTunes on a computer, set up as new, and test again. If it's now working, i'd recommend to restore from your last back up see if it resolved your issue.
    Hopefully the first reset solves it, in most cases it does.
    Regards

  • Just bought an iPhone 5s, as I turned on the phone it showed 71% of battery, I drained it to 15% and next charged it for 3 and a half hours to fully charged. Did I do any mistake ? Should have I let it to get discharged in order to fully charge it ?

    Just bought an iPhone 5s, as I turned on the phone it showed 71% of battery, I drained it to 15% and next charged it for 3 and a half hours to fully charge. Did I do any mistake ? Should have I let it to get discharged in order to fully charge it ? Somebody told me I should have let it discharged and then to fully charge, but I didn't do it, my iphone is working very well, the battery too but I'm worried if the battery lifespan is gonna get worsen soon if I didn't abide by the rules and procedures of battery charging.
    I had problems on my previous iPhone 4s, it died because I didn't replaced the battery with a new one because my battery never worked well and I never knew it , the battery used to overheat my iPhone and it caused to damage my processor completely to death. Who does the replacement of the iphone processor?  I need help how to maintain with the iphone battery. And also let me know if I did something wrong that I should get worried about or not ?!?!

    Apple does not fix the iPhone 4S, they replace the phone. If not covered by warranty, called an out of warranty exchange. Cost is US $199. Make an appointment at any Apple store.
    Be aware, Apple does not sell iPhone parts, thus there is no legitimate source for genuine parts.

    Hi dear!
    I'm very disappointed with Apple products! I was 15 days without my Iphone 5, because it stopped working and the had to be replaced by authorized apple. Then i bought an iphone 5s in two days it stopped working. Doesn't read the sim card. I call to Apple suport and discovery that the model A1533 is not warranted in Brazil and need to be replaced, because there is a hardware problem. In a moment i don't have anyone Phone. Why Apple does not send other equipment equal to authorized to exchange my Iphone, because in Brasil doesn't have the same model? I liked a lot this Apple phone, but i can't use, i have one brand new, but doen'st work. I don't have anybody in USA to exchange in one Apple store. Please help me!
    Thanks.
