My iPhone 4G died and will not turn on with hard reset.

My iPhone 4G died and will not turn back on. I got an e-mail and then took a phone call. After ending the call I went to text, but nothing. Screen was black with no warning. I plugged it up on a charger and nothing. I tried a soft rest and a hard reset and still nothing. I have it plugged up to my computer and without it coming on it will not recognize it on iTunes to do a restore. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Is this fixable or should I write it off and replace the phone? It is 1yr and 1 month old.
Thanks,
John

It's been a day and no luck, so I guess I have to get a new battery?

BB Curve 8900 died and will not turn on with the red lights on all the time

Hey all
The Blackberry Curve 8900 I have battery completely drained yesterday afternoon and I could not connect it to a charger until I get back home last night. I plugged the phone in around 11:00 , and even now 8 in the morning still wont be able to switch it on and the red light is on all the time.
Its a brand new one, I dont know what should I do to make it working.
Thanks for all your help!!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Typically, these batteries do not like to be fully drained...while rare, it has been known to render the battery useless. But, before you jump to that, there are a few diagnostic steps you can take.
Get a known good and fully charged battery -- put in in your BB. See if it works. See if you can charge.
Get a known good other charger, attach it to your BB, see if it charges.
Try a different power outlet.
Give your battery to someone with the same model BB that they know charges fine. See if they can charge it.
The results of these steps will guide you to the root cause...which could be your battery, your BB, your charger, or the wall outlet you were using.
Good luck!

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes it may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

My iphone powered off and will not turn back on. It is fully charged.

I have a new iphone 4S and it powered off and will not turn back on and its fully charged. Help.

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart, usually about 10 seconds time. If still problem, connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

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 30 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 and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . 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.

Macbook Pro died and will not turn on any longer

I am hoping someone can give me some insight into what has happened with my Macbook.
I have a 2008 17" Macbook Pro A1261. The other day I was working on battery life and noticed it was about to drain, so I plugged in my adapter. The adapter was not lighting up and I assumed that it had just stopped working. My Macbook is completely dead at this point. I bought another adapter (the newer L shaped ones) and when I plug it in the light comes on green but does not change colour to amber. When I try to power my mac on it does not come on with the battery in or removed.
I have tried an SMC reset, holding shift, etc. and nothing has worked thus far. My issue is that how can my macbook all of a sudden just "die" when it was working PERFECTLY fine before the battery drained? I assumed buying another adapter would fix the issue.
Could this simply be because my macbook does not yet have the firmware installed for the new L shaped adapter? If so what steps can I take to install the firmware? I know it is not the magsafe adapter because I have tried two others with no luck.
Please help!

Hi all, I finally took my macbook into the apple store and met with a genius. I am really not satisfied at all and I will explain why.
My macbook was working fine until the battery died, it was powered on and functioning etc. and it was just my cord that had the issue (until the battery drained completely). I have seen a lot of posts about macbooks just not turning on until the battery that has died is charged and inserted.
The day of the appointment I took another look at my macbook after leaving it idle for a few days. At this point, the battery has actually expanded and broke out of it's original case. This happened while the battery was drained and the macbook was off and unplugged. From what I have read, this happens all the time with these batteries and there was a program put in place to replace them at one point?
When I got to the apple store, I explained my situation (cord did not light/charge macbook, then macbook battery drains and now it will not turn on) and the tech basically told me that it is for sure the top case and the power button just "doesn't work", so I will need to spend $200 to replace the top case and then they "can go from there". He said it is either the top case or the logic board. I asked him why the logic board just mysteriously "broke" when the battery died. He told me that "these things start in one spot and spread like a cold". I am really disappointed in the service I got from them, he literally asked three questions and then said it is the top case and the logic board and that I need to buy both. It didn't give me any more confidence that this guy was 25 years old wearing a fitted hat at work (like a NY hat or something, and I hate to stereotype but he lived up to it unfortunately).
Also, he made it seem like I needed to pay for the top case first before they would spend any time even looking at my macbook to see what is wrong.. is this correct? You need to purchase a part or they won't open your computer?
Disappointment aside, I believe my next step is to obtain a fully charged battery and use that to start my macbook. I will post what happens if I can find a charged battery. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

My IPhone shut off and will not turn back on!!!!

SO here's what happened,
I was texting a friend and listening to music on my iphone... Then all of a sudden I get this pop up notification that says "This adaptor is not supported"
I didnt have my phone plugged in and then all of a sudden it turned off and will not start back up.
I tried the following:
Charge my phone for an hour
Pressed the sleep/power+home button for 20 seconds
Pressed the home button and plugged it in my computer while doing so
Now with that said, I need to know the following:
Is there hope for my Phone?
And if I have to replace it, can I go to my cell phone provider-ATT and have them replace it ( I have insurance on it) because the closest Apple store to me is 3 hours away.
All the advice the better!

SIDE NOTE!!!!!!!!!
This phone does NOT have water damage and was working just fine until i had this problem

Iphone 5C Crashed and Will Not Turn On For Anything

The screen on my Iphone 5c turned green yesterday while I was taking a picture and my phone cut off. It then went through a phase where the Apple logo would appear and fade out. Sometimes the logo would turn red or a different color while it did this over and over again. Eventually, it turned back on and everything was cool until the next morning. I woke up late for work because my Iphone had crashed while I was sleeping and the alarm on the phone never went off. The phone had been plugged in to a wall charger so I was surprised to see my phone "dead" when I finally got up. The phone worked fine during the day but later that night it turned green and crashed again. This time it never turned back on. The logo repeatedly fades in and out. Hard resets do nothing and I can't even get it to enter recovery mode with Itunes to do a factory reset. I have an appointment with the Apple store on Tuesday so we shall see how that goes... I've only had my phone since August and it is not damaged in ANYWAY. I also don't have many apps, just one for the campus bus tracker. I never had any problems with my Iphone 4. However, my new phone is running on iOS 8 or 8.1. I can't remember. But I do know that I haven't done the most recent update yet.

Go into an Apple Retail Store have them look at it.
Bring in the lightening cable as well. If they find its dead they will warrant it on the spot.
Don't use Verizon for warranty on any iPhone.
Good Luck

My iphone went black and will not turn on past the apple logo

iphone went black and wont turn on past apple logo

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, connect in recovery mode and restore, explained here:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

IPhone 4s will not turn on or hard reset?

iPhone turned itself off? Won't turn back on? Hard reset not working? Keep reading...
When this happens, your iPhone is stuck in sleep mode. Normally, you can alleviate the problem by doing a hard reset, but in this case nothing works. This problem can spring up from time to time even if your phone has a decent amount of battery life left. There could be any number of reasons your phone keeps getting stuck in sleep mode, but these are my speculations: a) overheating, b) overexposure to moisture/high humidty, c) software overload/app crashes, or d) phone storage at or near capacity.
You realize that the normal fixes aren't going to work, so here's how to fix it:
1. Place phone in ziploc bag in freezer for ~15 minutes.
2. Place phone in bag of dry rice for ~30 minutes.
3. Use another phone to call your phone (you'll notice you still hear a ringback as if your phone is on). Keep calling. After each call, try to turn your phone on using the reset method or simply using the lock button.
After several calls (or one if you're lucky), your phone should either turn on, or tell you to hook it up to a charger. Hook it up to iTunes just to be safe. If you're still seeing a dead, black screen, take it to the Apple store
Did it work for you? Thoughts? Suggestions? Leave a comment.

Usually a reset will help. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. This can take up to 20 seconds if the device is unresponsive.

HT201412 iphone 4 died and will not charge to turn it back on

My iPhone4S died earlier today and I have been trying to charge it for quite some time now, but it wont seem to charge up. Nothing happens whenever I press the button on the face of the phone and when I press the on/off button on the top of the phone, the battery symbol appears on the screen, but only with three faint lines of red on the battery symbol blinking and then the screen goes black again. Can someone please helpme with this problem? My phone is not old at all, I have only been having it less than a year. Thanks.

My iPhone 4S did the same thing. I was using it, it showed the low battery warning, I used it a little longer, and it shut down in the normal way. I plugged it in for several hours to recharge, and it didn't charge at all. When I unplugged it from the charger, the screen showed a battery symbol with three red lines in the bottom of the battery. Now it also showed the charger connector symbol and a lightening bolt and then screen went to black. The charger was not warm, but the charger worked on my iPad. Still I tried a new charger cord and many outlets, because I was on vacation and desperately needed the iPhone.
In the month before this happened, several times my iPhone 4S showed I had 1% battery life after it was charged and had just showed a higher percentage like 40%. I could continue using it as if it were 40% charged. I read several Apple discussions, finding others had had this issue, but there seemed to be no consensus on what caused it or how it could be corrected. The problem didn't happen often or consistently, so I continued to use iPhone as usual.
After the three red lines appeared, I tried solutions as follows: I tried turning the phone off. It didn't seem to work. I tried holding down the power and Home buttons simultaneously. Nothing happened. I tried turning it on. No change.
I don't want to Restore my iPhone, because two days of vacation photos are on it but aren't in iCloud. We had very weak wifi in the hotel, although my first day's photos made it to iCloud. (I should have been paying more attention to this! Oops.)
Has anyone resolved this issue? I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0.1, but had the 1% issue before and after the upgrade. Thanks.

My iphone shut off and will not turn on, how do i restart my iphone?

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes it may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

My iPhone 4G died and will not turn on with hard reset.
