My iphone 3gs suddenly turned off and does not want to turn back on.

My iphone 3gs all of sudden turned off and does not want to turn back on.

Charge it with a wall charger for 15 minutes, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds.

    Hi kamalkumar,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. 
    The article below will provide some troubleshooting steps for this issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • 10.9.1 installs, then system turns off and does not restart.

    10.9.1 installs, then system turns off and does not restart. When I eventually turn it back on, it installs again, then turns off.. Endless Cycle.. I have booted to restore disk, found errors that needed to be repaired and tried to repair them but system told me, after a few minutes, its not possible to repair. When I restart back to main disk, it shows the install AGAIN and then turns off.  Much appreciate any Ideas?

    All I can tell you is that:
    Antivirus software, aside from being next to useless on Macs, is a common source of problems with Mavericks.
    Google Drive was incompatible with Mavericks last time I looked.
    WD hard drives have software that comes on the drives that is incompatible with Mavericks, software that comes with the drives that they want you to install on your mac which is incompatible with Mavericks, and in some cases firmware in the hardware of the drive enclosure itself which is incompatible with Mavericks. And all of this software is completely unnecessary. The good folks at WD have really worked hard to ensure that their products won't work with Mavericks. Bless their little pointy corporate heads. I'll bet that's the last WD drive you'll buy.
    Basically you would need to get all this stuff uninstalled from your hard drive before it will reliably work with Mavericks. But even then, it might not work, because old/bad/incompatible software can alter your OS and the kernel such that uninstalling it won't help- the OS/kernel may be damaged such that you have no alternatives other than to erase the HD and start over. And anyway, currently you can't boot your HD to be able to access the Finder so unless you're going to spend a weekend with the Terminal you won't be able to uninstall that stuff in the first place. If I were you I'd just go ahead and erase the HD and install Mavericks from scratch.
    10.9.1 doesn't come on a CD. If you had another (working) mac you could make a bootable installer flash drive with DiskMaker X and an 8 GB key drive DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) , but then you'd still have the same problem, the incompatible software would still be on your HD, unless you erase it first before you try installing Mavericks again. So there's really nothing to gain by having the Mavericks installer on a disk.
    If you have a third party utility like Techtool Pro 7 you might be able to boot from the TechTool disk and repair your HD enough for it to boot.

    so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!

  • M phone is ded and does not want to turn on.

    okay I have an iPhone5c,my iPhone is dead at the very moment, I thought maybe it was just dead, I tried to charge it anyay it does not want to turn back on,at all the screen was just black most of the time it comes out as the little battery with the red charging and the bottom is the plug , although my charger is broken but it always comes out as the stuff  just said but im holding the slep button to turn on as always it does not work CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have ios 8.1 update the latest update.

    If ti has been connected to a known-good charger/cable/outlet, and left to charge for at least 30 minutes, then try this.  Disconnect it from the charger.  Press & hold the Home button & SleepWake buttons firmly for up to 1 minute, watching for an Apple logo to appear.  If it does, then let go of the buttons and let the device reboot.  If it does not, then contact Apple for support options.  Your device may have a hardware failure and need to be serviced/replaced.

  • IPad Personal Hotspot antenna shuts off after a few minutes of non-use. This happens in both Verizon 3G and LTE areas. Turning off LTE does not help. Turning Personal Hotspot off and then on works. Does this happen on Mini and Retina?

    iPad--third generation shuts off antenna/hotspot after a few minutes of non-use.
    Happens in 3G and LTE VZ environment.
    Turning hotspot off and on getsw things working again.
    Does Apple have antenna on a timer so it shuts off after a few minutes?
    Does this happen on Mini and Retina as well?
    FLAGSTAFFLAR

    Fixed!
    Two things together have restored connectivity.
    1.  I changed the name under Settings > General > About > Name from My Name's iPad to iPad of My Name.  I read somewhere that iOS 7.0.1 or 7.0.2 (I forget which) sometimes had issues with apostrophes here.  Easy enough to test.
    2.  I then reset (again) the APN settings under Settings > Cellular Data > APN Settings > Personal Hotspot and reentered our provider's info (APN, Username, Password) there.
    I don't know WHY it worked, but the personal hotspot is now happily sharing (again) internet connectivity with my MacBook Pro.

  • IMac turns off by it self and does not want to turns on later, do i have to feel the fan at the back?

    1.- The imac turned off by it self.
    2.- I tried to turned on pressing the turn on/off button and it did not do anything.
    3.- I disconected the computer form the wall and wait for some minutes, and it did no do anything.
    4.- After about 20 minutes i tried again and turned on by pessing the on and off button.
    5.- The imac turned off again and disconected form the wall and conected to another electrical contact at the wall, adn it did not turned on.  i wait for some minutes and turned on again, but after about five minutes it turned off again.
    6.- I left the imac connected to the wall for a couple hours and i tried to turned onn by pessing the on/off button and it did not turned on.
    7.- I left all night connected form the wall and tried to turn it on this morning and it did not turn on.
    8.- This time, I only disconnected the imac cord form the back of the computer and left it for a couple of hours, then I concected and turned on
    9.- All the times that the computer turned on it started like a restart and no announce or windows appear telling me about an error or something like that.
    10.- One of the times I touched the computer at the back and felt it hot, not too hot, but I do not how normal is.
    11.- I can feel some very, very little air at the back form the vent.
    What do I hve to do?
    What kind of tests can I do to know if the computer's an is working ok?

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

  • I have an iphone and i was sending a multimedia message and all of a sudden the phone turned off and will not turn on.We have been charging it for almost half an hour or more and it still hasnt turned on. How do we fix it?

    I have an iphone and i was sending a multimedia message and all of a sudden the phone turned off and will not turn back on. We have been charging it for almost half an hour or more and it still hasn't turned on. How do we fix it?

    Wine, were you charging over the USB Connection or AC Power?  We've found in our organization that at times not enough power is generated over USB to recharge it in situations like this...I quote from the email of a fellow technician that i just received today...
    I’ve had a couple of users up here bring their iPhones to me so dead that the phone was unresponsive, no matter what we did. One thing that many people do not realize is that the iPhone (iOS devices in general) have power management in them. The power management appears to be set up so that the device will not power on at all until the battery is at a certain minimum level. If the user will plug the device into the power adapter, not a USB port on a computer (laptops especially), and leave it for about an hour, maybe longer, the device will come back to life.
    The reason I say they have to use the power adapter is because the USB port is not high enough power to bring the charge up fast enough for the battery to come back out of “hibernation”. 
    Each time I have had the users do the power adapter plug in, and leave it for a couple of hours, the devices have come back to life
    Hope this helps
