My iPhone 4 will NOT turn on, tired everything!
Before anyone tells me to go read the other threads, I already have. No one seems to have the same problem I am having.
My iPhone 4 has been charging all night got up to 100%, then it was at least on 30% battery life when it turned off. It has slowly been acting up over the past few months. The vibration only randomly works when it wants to and it will randomly turn off from time to time. Today it randomly turned off. I tried to plug it back into the wall to turn in back on but nothing happened. I pluged it in to the computer for the past hour and nothing happens (I have a MacBook Pro, it doesn't recognize that the phone is plugged in.)
Here is how my situation is different! I CANNOT hold down the top button and the home button at the same time because my top button broke some time ago. It's little spring inside or something messed up and it no longer clicks up and down. I have been using the little dot that you can make come in the settings to control anything to do with that top button feature. My only buttons that work is my home button, and my 2 side volume buttons.
Nother is working. Again I cannot hold down the top and home button down at the same time because the top button is broken and no longer works.
What do I do?
By "everything" do you mean you already tried restoring it?
Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the iPhone.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the iPhone in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

My iPhone 4 will not turn on and is just displaying the itunes symbol not the apple symbol. How do I fix it? My phone died and I went to plug it in and it just displayed the itunes logo. It will not turn on at all. I plugged it into my computer in an attempt to connect to itunes with hoped of it turning on, yet nothing popped up as if it wasn't registering. Please help!

Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iPhone 4 will not turn on. When I plug it into Itunes it says it is n recovery mode. I try to restore it and the error code code 3194. I have tried all the steps what now?
It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.

iPhone 4s will not turn on, a screen shows up telling me to connect to iTunes to restore and update to iOs7, but when I try to restore error 2001 comes up and will not let me restore. I still cannot turn my phone on. None of the troubleshooting tips work, help??
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process.
FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue.
In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service. -

My iPhone 5 will not turn on. And when it does, it will only stay on for a short while and then it dies again.
Hi lammyrock,
I want to let you know to be patient as this troubleshooting can take some time depending on many different. First try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. To do that, you can that by making sure that your iPhone is turned off, hold the Home button down while it is plugged into iTunes. You should get the graphic on your iPhone to plug it into iTunes and iTunes should prompt you to restore it. Once that is done and if you have a back up in iTunes or in iCloud, then you can put that back on after the restore is complete. Take a look at the article below for more information to help you.

my iphone 5 will not turn on. i want to save all my pictures and videos to my laptop but i cannot do it as my iphone will not switch on. how do i get them?
A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure. -

my iphone 4 will not turn on apple logo just flashes
Hey laysams64,
I would follow these troubleshooting steps:
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 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.
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 aboutrestoring 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.

Hi,
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if not already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
