My iPhone 4s shut off and won't turn back on? My lock button is broken, so I can not reboot it.

As I said, my lock button has broken so I can not use that to reboot it. My iPhone was charging when it shut off, i locked it and walked away from my phone for a few seconds and when I came back to unlock it, it was completely unresponcive. I use my phone to talk to all my friends and listen to music, please help asap. Also, I tried plugging it into my computer and it just won't do anything. Is my iPhone literally just, dead?

You can try and let the phone sit for a period and then try connecting it again to the power source. If that doesn't work, I cannot think of another solution. The only way to reset the phone in a case such as this is to old the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. However, since you say the sleep/wake button doesn't work, then there is no alternative. I'm puzzled though when you say that you locked the phone and walked away. If the lock button doesn't work, how did you do that?

    Plug into a wall charger for about 10 mins and see if it comes back on.   You may have a dead battery.

  • My iPhone just shut off and won't turn back on

    My iPhone 4 just automatically shut off and now will not turn back on. I have tried plugging it to the wall and into my laptop but nothing is working.

    Connect iPhone to the Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

  • Iphone randomly shut off and won't turn back on!

    My power button has been stuck recently (not a major issue) and my Iphone 4S randomly shut off without any damage or moisture and over half battery life. Plugging it in to the computer or wall doesn't turn it back on.
    I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

    This is very bad. It is very difficult to deal with problems without power button function. If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean iPhone charging port very well with toothbrush and Isopropyl Alcohol. If still nothing, next would be battery replacement. If still nothing, replacement of the charging port with flex cable and lower mic. And on and on. If you want Apple to handle this, they offer perfect replacement iPhone 4S for $199.

    sometimes if the battery drains completely you will need to leave it plugged into a charger for 10-15 minutes before you get any activity at all.  this is normal

    my iphone 5 keeps randomly shutting off and won't turn back on unless I plug it in to the charger

    I'm experiencing the same issue. It's one thing to have to re-power up but to not be able to do so without plugging in the charger when the battery is substantially full, is a real drag.

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

  • I left my 4s in the car for apprx 35 mins in 35 degree weather and the phone completely shut off and won't turn back on.  the battery was fully charged

    i left my 4s in the car for apprx 35 mins in 35 degree weather and the phone completely shut off and won't turn back on.  the battery was fully charged.  please help   it is my only ways of communicating beyond my macbook

    It probably overheated and shut down. Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears. This will take 10 to 15 seconds of holding both buttons.

    I have not heard of a good reason for this to happen or how to fix. 3 days later my screen lights up and says to connect to charger.... so its back "for now". Best music player on the market when it works.

  • My iPhone 5s has just shut off and won't turn back on. Please help?

    I was just chatting on a app and the phone just froze, went to a white screen with the apple trade mark. Then it completely shut off and wouldn't turn back on. I tried charging it and it still won't turn back on.

    Thanks for the advice but I've tried this it hasn't worked. I've held down both buttons together for more than a minute. Do I have to hold them down longer than this?

  • Macbook air randomly shuts off and won't turn back on

    I have a 2011 Macbook Air that was given to me by my sister. She told me about a year ago she spilled water on the keyboard and it stopped working for a while. She took it to apple and they told her it was going to cost 700 dollars to replace so she decided not to. After a while the laptop randomly turned back on and started working fine. I ended up getting it as a free gift and it was working perfectly fine for about a month and a half until recently it randomly shut off on me. After it shuts off, it wouldn't turn back on through pressing the power button I left it alone and after a day it randomly turned back on and worked like normal. After about 15 minutes of use it randomly shuts down and won't turn back on. I tried resetting SMC to no avail. It randomly turns on for about 15 minutes before it feels like it gets slightly hot and shuts off. Any help will be great!

    Try running an Apple Hardware Test:

    If you find you can't, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be free and then you should know what the problems are with your MBA.

    My iPhone just shut off today, and won't turn back on. I tried charging it up, but the batter charger doesn't even get warm, so it appears to NOT charge. I'll be trying to plug into iTunes next...but this does not look good for the phone.  Any suggestions or has anyone gone through something like this?

    Hold down sleep wake button and home button down for 18-20 sec to restart the phone.

    I have the first IPad. My iPad shut off at 72 percent battery life and won't turn back on.
    Any suggestions on what I can do ? Is it fixable ? Do I need a new Battery ?

    Not charging.
    1. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo
    2. Try another wall socket
    3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
    4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
    5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush
