My IPhone 4 won't turn on, but my lock/power button is also jammed. What should I do? What is wrong?

With USB Cable connect iPhone to power source, charger or USB port of computer. The iPhone should begin to start immediately.

  • My iphone 5 won't turn on but when plugged into power source it keeps showing apple logo?

    My iPhone 5 won't turn on at all and then when I plug it into a power source either into a plug socket or into my laptop with the USB cable it keeps showing start up screen with apple logo over and over again on a loop.
    I have tried holding the top and front button together, this didn't work. I have also tried connecting to my laptop and following the reboot steps that I found on another discussion forum. Neither worked for me. The phone just won't reboot and it keeps continuing to loop the apple logo screen over and over without me touching anything.
    The iPhone won't even connect to itunes and so itunes seems to not recognise my phone because its not even turning on (just continually apple logo screen appears for 5 seconds, goes to black screen and then repeats).
    I don't know what is happening to it! Can anyone help? Is it a fault with the hardware or have I dont something to it? The next appointment at the genius bar for me is monday so I'm going to keep looking for any more recent ones until then but I really need to get it sorted before then so if anyone can help that would be great!
    Thanks

    Try a reset when your iPhone is plugged into the charger as you say it does not respond when not plugged in...
    Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release.  This may take up to 10 seconds.  This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
    See if it will charge after this.

  • My iPhone screen won't turn on but I stil get messages and calls how can I fix it

    My phone screen won't turn on and the touch screen Doesn't work but I still get calls and messages 

    Hi Mptuck,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    There may be a problem with your device, which could be water damage. It is best to take your device to the Apple Store and see if the Geniuses can fix it.
    Good Luck,

  • TS1587 My friend has a G4 that will NOT turn on at all.  The monitor power button will light up, but monitor won't turn on; the the computer power button lights up when pressed but won't stay on and nothing else happens.  He said it USED to at least turn

    Anyway, not sure if my question was sent, so here it goes:  My friend's G4 won't power on....the power button lights up briefly when pressed, but nothing happens....and, cannot even get the montior to power on...does the same thing.   He said it used to at least turn on, but now it's doing this.   Help!!??  What should we do??

    If you are able to use a multi-meter, you can test to see if the power supply is culprit. Use the Power Mac G4: Power Supply Voltage Test  (Sawtooth G4) document to aide you in the proceedure.
    If not the Sawtooth, Power Mac G4 (Gigabit Ethernet): Power Supply Voltage Test.
    If a Quicksilver, use the pinout of the QS PSU connector here:
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/tips/MDDps_mods/MDD_PSMods.html#update
    and a testing description here:
    http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/D275729F-09DA-4FBB-96B3-BEEEB2C 04619.html
    The test description is for a MDD, but the basics are the same.
    If a MDD,follow my instructions in the linked articl above.
    One should also try a PMU reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1939
    One should also  replace the 1/2 AA PRAM battery.
    Also, check that the 20, 22, 24 pin connector is properly fitted to the motherboard, and that the wires are properly inserted in the connector. There is also a 10 wire ribbon, which goes from the motherboard to the power button board. Make sure that the ribbon is firmly connected at both ends, and that there is no apparent damage to the ribbon.
    If the power supply tests good in a MDD, the power switch board could be suspect.

  • IPhone 4S won't turn on with broken lock button.

    My iPhone turned off yesterday afternoon, I tried charging it but the screen is completely blank. This has happened before and i just held the lock/home button at the same time, but my iPhone's LOCK BUTTON IS STUCK.
    Ive tried connecting it to iTunes also and NOTHING happens.
    PLEASE HELP!

    If the button is broken, there's not much you can do.  Bring your phone to Apple for replacement.

  • Macbook Pro won't turn on after clicking the power button.

    I left my laptop on sleep mode yesterday night but when I tried to use it this morning the screen stayed black. I than turned it off and when I clicked the power button to turn it on again, only the fan turns on but the screen stays black. This occurred last time and the apple tech clicked some buttons and it turned on.

  • Iphone 4s won't turn on, but flash light is on

    Hello all, I have an iPhone 4s which is approx 5 weeks old, has never been dropped and has no water damage. The other day the flash light came on and I couldn't get it off but the phone was working perfectly fine. Then the phone died and now I can not get it to turn on. When you plug it into the computer it is not recognized and the screen is just completely black there are no signs of it saying its charging or anything, all that happens is the flash light turns back on. I have tried pressing all the various buttons for various amounts of time, both plugged into the computer and not plugged in, but nothing seems to work. I am currently in the Galapagos Islands for another 3 weeks so I can't go to any places to get any help and it is my only camera here so it's a serious bummer. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, it is greatly appreciated!!!

    personally the only time i have seen this is with liquid damage or fake parts fitted to the device
    (if it is fake parts apple will have to deny service)
    under the tab in the dock connector you should see a small sticker in the middle (white is good, orange/red is liquid)
    also the same applies to the bottom of the headset jack in the top of your handset
    if you have any further issue or still not sure as to why this is happening simply book a genius bar appointment at your local apple store via www.apple.com/retail

  • My IPhone 4S won't turn on but is recognized by my computer? Help!

    When plugged in ONLY my computer it vibrates twice every couple of seconds but with a total blank screen. I turned off my phone normally to restart it and it neveer came back on. I HAVE tried using both buttons and holding them down. The phone is jail broken, so it's been taken out of the box once but besides that the phone is brand new and I have only been using it for a day or two. What's going on??

    If it's recognized in itunes, the device is in recovery mode. If it were completely dead, it wouldn't be recognized. You should be able to restore from itunes either as a new device or from a backup if you have one

  • The screen on my iPhone 4 went black and randomly started vibrating nonstip for about 3 minutes. It has stopped and now won't turn on. Has anyone else had this problem? What should I do?

    I've tried to charge it and i've tried to reset it but it won't even connect to iTunes. Please help!

    Don't know why it happened, but if you can't enter the passcode, you'll have to restore the phone to remove it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.  If you're running iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you'll have to force it into recover mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • Macbook Won't Turn On But Caps Lock Lights Up Green.

    Hello,
    I spilt water on my Macbook A1342 some time ago. I have tried to fix it by cleaning the damaged areas. It didn't start up before but now i have the caps lock illuminated green and is constantly on. The computer does not turn on. I am just charging the computer now. Could this just be a problem caused by the water damage or a software error. Also could it just be because the battery hasn't been charged and was ran flat last time i used it. Open to any ideas.
    Many Thanks
    Charlie

    Water damage may have affected the logic board or other hardware.

  • My iPhone 4s won't turn on. The lock button is broken and I already tried plugging it into a power source

    I dropped it and it turned off. When the lock button worked I could just press the home and lock button down and the apple icon would appear. What do I do now? I already tried plugging it into my computer.
    Thanks!

    Not much you can do with a broken lock button.
