My iPhone 3gs stopped working 2 days before warranty period,But i was unable to contact apple immediately as no apple store is available near my place,Now i need to replace my iphone..How can i get it?

Pay for an out of Warranty replacement.
It was your decision to not contact Apple before the warranty period expired.

  • IPhone 3GS Stopped Working... Won't Turn On !!!

    Hi Guys
    My iPhone 3GS was working fine for the last three months and all of a sudden stopped working this morning. While trying to open a web page on Safari it died. Unable to turn on or off. Screen is blank and if I try to turn it on the Apple symbol comes on for less than a minute and the screen goes blank again. Tried connecting to iTunes and no luck. My computer wont even recognise the iPhone.
    I left it to charge on the mains charger for a few hours and still no luck. I have a lot of important information which I cant afford to loose. Unfortunately I did not backup the phone recently. Any ideas how I can get this problem resolved.
    Regards

    this happened to me about last weeek!and ive only had my iPhone for less than 2 months. i activated my iPhone 3GS on VoiceOver (to see what it was) and i obviously tapped something, my iPhone wasn't working for about 6 days until i had the courage to turn it on. The Apple logo came on and so did the lock screen (for about half a second) and then it went blank, i think i used 3 or 2 fingers (try both!) and tapped the screen either 2 or 3 times (try both again) to turn the screen back on. so do all these combinations!
    use 3 fingers and tap 3 times
    use 3 fingers and tap 2 times
    use 2 fingers and tap 3 times
    use 2 fingers and tap 2 times
    if it does work use random fingers and tap a couple of times. but when you do these combinations, WAIT for each of them as it may take aover 5 seconds for the screen to turn on again. if nothing works I suggest you take it to an Apple store (if you have a warranty)
    tell me if it helped!

  • My iPhone has stopped working. I have insurance but Verizon isn't willing to send a replacement. Please help!

    I have insurance on my iPhone 4 with the extended warranty. For the last few days, I've been having non-stop problems with the phone. Freezing, closing apps when it wants to, restarting itself. I called Verizon customer support and explained the problem. She tried to do basic troubleshooting on my phone but I had to stop the process because I wasn't near a Wi-Fi to do a hard reset after the basic troubleshooting. Which wasn't a problem.
    So today my home button stopped working completely. I had to turn off the phone and turn it back on after opening an application because I couldn't do anything with it. So I called Verizon to see about more troubleshooting and the girl (who was very nice btw) helped me do a hard reset. The home button started working, but now has stopped working again.
    The thing with the warranty on the phone.. when I bought the phone from someone, I was asked if I wanted insurance on the phone when I activated it. I said yes. So the insurance was added. Now that something is wrong with my phone, I am being told that the warranty should have never been added because I didn't get the phone actually from Verizon. I have been paying for insurance each month as long as I have had the phone. If not almost a year, maybe a little over a year? I'm not sure how long I have had the phone. So I have insurance on the phone right now.. and I cannot get my phone replaced. I do not work for Verizon, so if I am asked if I want insurance and I say yes, I expect and assume it's covered incase something goes wrong. Which is the point of having insurance. Now, it's a different story? I am confused and a little upset with the whole situation. The only thing the Verizon rep today told me was that she could refund me three months of charges on the insurance and get it removed for me. I did not agree to that and I didn't want the insurance removed as of right now until I get this fixed. I told her that it wasn't about the money for the insurance.
    I am hoping someone with Verizon on here can help me with my phone situation because apparently it's something with software. Please help!

    I would think that at the very LEAST you would be eligible for a COMPLETE refund of ALL charges for insurance paid thru Verizon!  They were charging you for something you were ineligible for!  Verizon has a record of whether or not you purchased the phone from them - otherwise how could they deny the claim!
    It very sad to see how customer service and customer satisfaction has been lost here ... !

  • Iphone 3gs stopped working?

    So recently, I've updated my iphone 3gs to ios 6.1.3. Today, it worked fine the whole entire day, but as I was using it, it shut down. It didn't run out of batteries, because when I was using it, it was at 43%. I tried plugging it into my wall adapter, & the red charging sign would come up, then the apple logo appears, but after a few seconds, it shuts off again. It goes though an endless loop, & eventually it would flash a dark screen, & a lightened dark screen, Is there a solution to this? My iphone is not jailbroken, btw.

    Yeah usually it takes longer to charge via your computer. So that is normal. If your computer is not regonizing it then you need to put your iphone into DFU mode. Try this:
    Plug your phone into your computer.
    1. Hold down both sleep and the hombutton for 10 seconds
    2. After 10 seconds release the sleep button BUT keep the home button pressed down for another 5 seconds.
    You shouldnt see anything on the screen, but it should then pop up in your itunes.

  • My iphone 3GS  died a day before My Iphone 4 delivery date

    My Iphone 3GS died 8/2/10. Turned it on this morning, And nothing happened. My delivery date of Iphone 4 is 8/03/10.

    You can have your 3G(S) checked for maintenance at the Genius Bar if you plan on a hand-me-down option.
    No it's not a conspiracy there. "Iphone 3GS died 8/2/10" "delivery date of Iphone 4 is 8/03/10" is pure coincidence.

  • My iPhone 3GS stopped working after one year one month, and is totally unresponsive.

    I went to plug my phone into my stereo as I do daily and it just stopped working. Totally unresponsive.

    Charge it for 30 minutes with a wall charger, then disconnect and hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds.
    BTW, it's a holiday in the US and UK, so amazingly enough, many users are out enjoying themselves, which is why you didn't get an instantaneous response. Even then expecting an answer in less than 30 minutes in an all volunteer forum is optimistic.

  • IPhone 3GS stopped working since upgrading to itunes 10.5

    since upgrading my itunes i get these messages saying that
    A: charging is not supported with this acessory
    B: this acessory is not optimised for this acessory (when trying to use ipod or anything else)
    ive read "how to fix this" but people think that its something wrong with the chords and dirty products.
    that is not my case. ive tried three different apple chargers in all ports and sockets in the house. none of them are dirty, there are no pins out of place, and no water has gotten near anything. this is very annoying and i cant use my phone at all. moreover my warranty is up but apple did this to my phone with all their stupid updates. you think a company of tech people would know how to properly make software but no.
    so can anybody help?
    apple?are you going to do something? or just tell people its their fault like usual?
    also now my phone is dead and wont charge so i cant really do much right now.

    Hi,
    just made a discovery i wanted to share here with everyone who have this problem with their 3GS iPhone.
    Few days ago i'v tried to upgrade my iPhone to a version 5.0, sync it with my comp through iTunes.
    It sucked all my datas in, to back it up, but errorr occurred when the phone was preparing for recovery mode.
    Mobile died, display went black and no iTunes or computer (even other computer) no longer recognised my phone when plugged in. Like if the phone didn't exist.
    I was searching for answers for hours and tried everything people suggested. Bought new charger. Left mobile charging all day. No sign, light, sound... nothing.
    So i took it to an Apple store.
    The assistant took the phone and left, to check it. After 5 minutes brought the same dead iphone back and said mobile is no longer under warranty and to repair it will cost me over 120£ or so. And that there is nothing he can do, but all my data are safe if i have back up on iTunes.(which i had).
    Said he even tried TO CHARGE THE PHONE BY PLUGGING IT TO A HIGHER VOLTAGE!
    But no help. Well that's what he thought!!
    After about a 30 min or so....sitting in the coffee shop, i throw the dead phone on the table, and without any thought just pressed two buttons, as i did thousand times before. The home and power button on the top, held them maybe 5 seconds... and suddenly the phone woken up!!!!! Empty battery sign appeared on a screen, after few seconds gone again.
    I repeated same proccess another 2 times, yes iphone was back!!! 
    At home i plugged it first into a socket to charge, pressed the buttons, battery appeared and after 10 min sign on a display asked to connected mobile to iTunes.
    I did and, then just followed the instrutions appearing on iTunes. After 20-30minutes i had all my datas- photos, videos, calendar, notes, messages and contacts back in my iPhone, and even with some more extra features and improvements.
    Love my phone again.
    So my advice is, when nothing helps,
    1. TAKE YR PHONE TO AN APPLE STORE, cause only they understand really what they can and cannot do safely!
    AND IF THEY TRY :
    2. TO CHARGE THE PHONE BY PLUGGING IT TO A HIGHER VOLTAGE! It my wake yr phone up.
    Be patient and carefull.!
    Good luck!!!

  • Iphone 3gs stops working during use,

    and reboots after 3-4 min usage. IOS5 installed. Used to be good before, but I am not sure if this is a HW og SW issue.
    Any similar trouble out there, with some advise on how to solve ?

    Thanks for reply. I  need to follow up with more details.
    Phone is syncing nicely. Updates via WiFi and is seemingly working well with both Itunes (on the IMac in OS-x Lion). The trouble seems to be when the phone is used (annoiying - since this is a phone). Any phone call lasting more than 3-4 minutes will be broken, and phone enters into some status with Apple logo showing, and phone reboots. I simply can't figure it out. I have restored IOS perhaps 3 times.

  • IPhone 3GS stopped working after update

    When I updated my iPhone to the latest version today everything went OK when downloading, but suddenly it told me that the disc (C:\ om my PC) was full. When I cleared some space it continued, but didn't find the software afterwards. In fact my iPhone froze with the image of the white plug and the blue iTunes music-logo afterwards.
    I've tried resetting my PC and reinstalling iTunes. I've also held the on-buttons on top an at the bottom in 'till the white Apple appears, but my phone won't go any further. Neither do I have the option to reset anything from within iTunes, as it doesn't recognise my phone.
    Now I'm wondering: Is there a remedy?
    Appreciate all the help and guidance I can get. In advance thank you!

    See if you can get it into recovery mode using RecBoot so Itunes will recognize it. Then try a manual install.

    iOS 5.0.1 has been out for a couple months, if not longer. 
    There was no delay in releasing it in any country.
    So what is your issue?

  • I have one of the speaker failed on iPhone 3GS. How do I get this repaired under warranty. My phone is just 45 days old.

    I have one of the speaker failed on iPhone 3GS. How do I get this repaired under warranty. My phone is just 45 days old.

    As tonefox says, all iphones have ony one speaker on the bottom.
    This is clearly illustrated in the manual.

  • Iphone 4s stopped working - 1st no texts, then no calls, attempted reconfigure and nothing!

    My iPhone 4s stopped working - It began not sending texts about a week ago (sporadically) then I had some calls not come through for a couple of days. I tried the soft re-start and nothing changed. I attempted to re-do the phone to day one through iTunes and it made it through the process up to the very last second and then said it was unable to complete. I brought it into Apple who said they had no idea and I was out of luck. Any ideas? I was supposed to trade it in for the iPhone 6 next week (back order) and to be honest I am no longer in love with Apple and If I can't trade it in for a new iPhone 6 I am ready to move to Samsung. Any ideas are appreciated before I give up on Apple .... (not my first issue with their phones and their tech help is no longer as helpful as they used to be)

    I'm sure they told you more than you're out of luck.
    Please state in detail what the people at the Genius bar said.
    Also I don't why you guys keeps saying I'm going to ditch Apple and go to an Android - we users here in this user to user technical forum don't care if you do.
    there is no Apple here to read your post.
