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.

  • Water damaged iphone 4, stopped working after two year , the water damage

    2 years ago my phone went for a wash in washing machine, I managed to dried it up and make it work , recently the display went off while using, after charging i could see it in itunes, it kept beeping every 15 second while plugged in for charging. Then i decide to open it romove the battery and put back on nowit has no life in it if i plugged it for charging or to pc it get hot quick but won't turn on, tried the home button , power button 10 second role but no luck
    ...all i need to know if I want to replace any parts what parts I should replace. as the phone is pretty good condition. now the question is wether it need lcd, battery or logic board changing?
    i would think as it was all working , either one of  there:
    battery, logic board and lcd (digitizer) might need changing?
    and it might work?
    any suggestion on this will be appreciated.
    its a 16gb iphone 4 black.

    We can't advise you on attempting to repair it yourself. Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. The only sources for iPhone parts are:
    Stolen parts
    Counterfeit parts
    Salvaged parts
    Since you opened it yourself, Apple won't touch it now.  Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new phone.
    If you really want to try fixing it yourself, look to someplace like ifixit.com for advice.

  • 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.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 stops working after less than 30 second and shuts down

    I have installed and uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014 three or four times via Creative Cloud and each time it stops working after less than thirty seconds and shuts down the program. I then installed a an older version of Photoshop CS5.1 from a CD and it works perfect. I also have Illustrator CC 2014 and Lightroom 5 installed from Creative Cloud and both work flawlessly. What can I do to get Photoshop CC 2014 working?

    You have not provided any system information or crash logs, so we can't really know.

    Hey raphaccarvalho
    If your iPhone is not powering on, then check out the article below to see if you can get it to power back on. You will want to start at step 3 to try and reset it by holding the Sleep/Wake button and Home button for about 10 seconds and see if the Apple Logo comes up.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Regards,
    -Norm G.

  • 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 Zii Sound D5 stopped working after one year

    Hi there,
    After one year of enjoying my beloved Zii Sound D5 it stopped working with any apparent reason. It just does not switch on.
    I dont have any technical knowledge but after reading a few messages in the forum my guess is that the problem is related to a power spike.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Tobago82,
    Have you tried plugging the speaker to another power outlet? If you have not done so already, please contact our Customer Support for assistance.

  • My iphone-4 stopped working after updating it to iOS 5

    I tried upgrading my i-phone 4 to the new oerating system iOS5 and now it stopped working. it says connect to i-tunes and when I tried doing it my pc does not detect I-phone. can anyone help?

    Same as I posted to another user:
    well I only have a 3gs so I'm not all up on the current but the way I see it you have a few option's depending on the route you want to take,
    If you don't mind loosing what's on the phone (if you want to try save info try 2 before 1)
    1. (Best Chance) put the iphone into DFU mode, (1. turn off iphone while plugged into computer, then hold the sleep button count to three 2. then hold the home button whiile still holding the sleep button, count to 10 3. release the sleep button but keep home button,) then itune should detect the phone and offer to restore it, this should restore it
    1b.  I would repeat above with a active SIM card, doesn't make a difference where I live but you never know
                   I'd suggest this if your having problems connecting
    1c.  I would try On difference Computer (rule out bad download, currupt driver's etc etc)
    If you want to try save the information then I would say you are doing some of this at your own risk as I'm not sure about apple rules regarding these, the steps should all be legal but might void your warrently so be warned!
    2. Download a utility call Tinyumbrella ( http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/ ) and have you phone connected and run the program, on the left should be a list of connected devices (make sure itunes is closed) click on the device connected and on the right click exit recovery, hopefully your device will reboot normally, (there's also an fix recovery option but I've never used that)
    2b this option is to jailbreak your phone as that "hacktivates" your phone if using this option and it works I suggest a FULL backup then follow option 1 above, download a program call Redsn0w ( http://blog.iphone-dev.org/tagged/redsn0w ) and follow the instructions that come with it, again if this works I suggest a full backup then follow option 1 about even if you do wish to stay "jailbroken"
    this advice is just some idea's as you have given no information on what happen or firmware involved current mood of phone ^^ I can only hazard a guess at the problem< if after these steps is doesn't work i suggest trying to bring it back and get someone professional to look at it

  • Iphone 5 stopped working after updated to IOS 7.1

    I have just updated my iphone 5 to IOS 7.1 and unfortunately it stopped working. I can not turn it on. Anyone got the same problem? My phone is already out of warranty so I have no idea how much it would cost to fix my died phone

    My sons iPhone 5 did the same thing after updating to iOS 7.1.
    You may have to connect the device to a computer running iTunes and do a restore on the device. Restore as new. If you don't have a backup everything will be lost but you may get the device working again.

  • I updated MUSE and now the anchors stop working after one click. Active state on the buttons are not working either. The vertical scroll also stops working. Is this a bug.
