My Iphone 3G is unresponsive

It's stuck on the apple logo screen and I've tried entering into DFU mode, I've tried hard resetting it, and I've tried connecting it to my computer.
I don't know exactly what happened before this occured as it's my mom's phone and she said that all she did before this was accidently shut off the phone and when she tried to open it, it was like this.
I'm about to just let the phone's battery die in order to shut it off and see if that works but does anyone know what's wrong or if there's a faster way to cause the phone to shut off so I can restart it?

Hold down the power button and the home button until the iphone powers off.
Peace

    Nothing YOU cand do.  You'll need to bring the phone to Apple for replacement.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If basic troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

    Hi softwater,
    Thank you for the suggestion.  I haven't looked into Carbon Copy Cloner previously, I'll check it out.
    I'll see what I can do about getting to a store.  I've only just had the MBP13 get a logic board replacement, for which it had to be in store for a week, so I'll have to make plans to move data around so I can keep working while it's out of action.
    I won't be able to take it to a store for at least another week, so if anyone else has an (unlikely) solution in the meantime I'd be very appreciative!
    Thanks

  • Whilst Charging, Iphone is almost unresponsive

    Not sure if anybody else has issues with this, but since the IOS4 update, whenever my phone is on charge the phone becomes really slow and jumpy. Cant even type or browse apps as it slows down to much and then tries to catch up and does a billion things at once. And the most annoying thing is that the bottom part of the screen is almost completely unresponsive, only the top half of the screen wants to work whilst charging, and this aint all that brilliant. Anybody else experiencing this issue????????

    If you plug it into the computer, is it recognized by iTunes?
    If it is, try doing a restore. 
    If it is not recoginized by the computer or iTunes, it sounds
    like you may have an ex-iPhone.  Time to contact Apple support
    or get an appointment at a Genius Bar at an Apple Store.

    Saw your other post where you said the phone was jailbroken.
    forget everthing said above.  You are on your own.

  • How can I backup my iPhone with an unresponsive touchscreen?

    I dropped my iPhone and the screen didn't crack but the touch screen is no longer responsive and neither is my home button.  I tried to back it up on my macbook but to do that I must type in my passcode on my iPhone which isn't possible because of the unresponsive screen.

    It's too late for that. If you already had a sync relationship set up with your Mac (or a PC for that matter), then it wouldn't be asking for a passcode unless you had changed it since the last sync.  Now that the screen is unresponsive, there is no way to back it up to a computer. If it was set up to back up to iCloud, then you will hopefully have that to fall back on. If it was not, you're going to lose your data if the device has to be replaced or restored.

  • Iphone 4s completely unresponsive

    I was using it, turned it off and less than a minute later went to check something on it but it would not turn on again. The battery was over half full. It is dead. It will not charge, it will not pick up on iTunes when I connect it to my macbook.

  • IPhone 3G touchscreen unresponsive

    Hi,
    We've had an iPhone 3G for a while now, and suddenly the touchscreen has become unresponsive.  I can use the Home button to access the multitasking bar etc., but there's absolutely nothing I can do with the touchscreen.  I've searched the Internet for a fix to this problem, and the solutions seem to point to holding the Standby and Home button simultaneously, or something along those lines.  However, the Standby button on the phone hasn't been working for a while.  Any suggestion would be much appreciated - thanks!

    Sorry to hear that your iPhone is having so much trouble. Rare, but both these problems can be due to faulty Logic Board and therefore your iPhone would need to be replaced. More commonly however, it is not the Logic Board, and these can be fixed. The repairs are difficult and probably not worth the time or money, so a new iPhone is possibly the best choice. The sleep button repair is very difficult and requires replacement of the Headphone Jack Cable Complex (Flex Cable #5). The unresponsive touchscreen is a faulty digitizer. This can be due to breakage of the screen, visible or not, or can be due to Flex Cable #2 (Digitizer Flex Cable) coming loose from the Logic Board. If #2 is just loose, then Apple Genius at my store will reseat #2 to the Logic Board for free. If it is faulty, then fix is, replacement of Glass Front Screen with the Digitizer attached. Good Luck.

  • IPhone 3g has unresponsive touchscreen and sleeper button...

    Out of nowhere my iPhone 3G has an completely unresponsive touchscreen. The home button and volume control still work, but the sleeper button on the top has not been working for some time. I would really appreciate anybody's help or advice in this, thanks.

  • IPhone 6 screen unresponsive and flickering

    My iPhone 6 screen all of a sudden became completely unresponsive. It no longer responds to any kinds of touch inputs. Furthermore, when on, the screen is constantly flickering with grids. I tried restarting, to no avail. as well as putting it in DFU Mode, resetting it, and restoring from backup-- nothing solves the problem. Is the only way to fix this to take it to the Apple store?

    In the last couple of weeks (and nothing has changed) - I noticed that my iPhone 6 will remain in landscape mode if I lift it up too quickly.  It's not frozen - but it's not detecting that it is upright.  The workaround seems to be lower the phone to a horizontal position and then lift it again - slowly - and that seems to restore the portrait mode.  I could understand if this started happening immediately after an update - but it did not - it started about 2 weeks ago.  Typically the app that I use in landscape mode (the most) is youtube.  I'm wondering if it is something with the YouTube app - but I don't recall any recent updates for it either.

  • IPhone 6+ Screen Unresponsive

    iPhone 6+ screen goes unresponsive within apps. Turning the app off and on again doesn't always solve it. I have had to restart the phone completely at times to get the screen to respond. '
    Help please!

    So I have the same problem. 128GB 6+ here in the UK
    Called up apple support and they are sending me a replacement. Hopefully it solves it. When I bought the phone I did not restore from backup. Started from scratch.
    Also they tried to charge me 30GBP for an express replacement service which I managed to talk them out of so its worn bargaining with them and not paying any stupid fees.

  • My iphone is completely unresponsive

    I left my iphone plugged up to the charger next to my bed all night. The next morning it is completely unresponsive. black screen. pushing the power on/off doesnt work and plugging it to the computer doesnt work as well what do you think is wrong with it. I still have a warranty

    Sounds like you'll need to go to Apple and get the phone replaced, doesn't it?
