My iPhone 4s switched off and won't turn back on

My iPhone 4s was working fine then all on sudden screen was black and can't turn it on. I have tried plugging into my computer and charger still nothing.
I know battery is charged and I have tried the hard restart.
Any other ideas????

I am also dealing with this. I got mine right out of the box, set it up, added all features, and then the screen went completely black. I plugged it in, tried all button combinations. Then I called Verizon Wireless and they couldn't help me get it back on. Ended up sending it back and my new 4S will be here on Tues or Wed. Really Apple? I hadn't even taken the plastic off! All I can say is call your service provider and ask for advice.

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

    Hi Kate,
    It must be very frustrating to be unable to use your iPhone since it won't even power on. Let's see if we can get things back up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Start with the section titled If your device still won't turn on or start up.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • My iphone 5 was working this morning fine with a full charge but switched off and won't turn back on. I have held the buttons to switch it back on and tried to plug it in iTunes but nothing. Any help?

    Please read title

    Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • 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.

  • HT1267 What do I do if my iPhone just switched itself off and won't turn back on again? It does not even register power when I plug it in to my car or home charger or computer???

    If you hold the home button and power button for about 10 seconds it will turn back on. I have had his issue 3 times but don't know what fixes it for good

    Thanks for your help. I tried plugging it in but nothing happened, I actually still had battery power left. I was able to solve my problem by holding down the power and home buttons, which reset the phone and got it started again.

  • My iphone 5c turned off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

    My iphone 5c turned off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

    Try resetting the device: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). If the Apple appears, the reset is in progress, and the Slide to Unlock screen will display shortly.
    Make sure the battery is charged. If you think it may not be charged, then plug the device into the charger and try resetting after 5 minutes or so.

    Have you tried forcing a reboot? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see a silver apple it's rebooting.

  • My iPhone 3gs just randomly turned off and won't turn back on

    I was just using my phone, and nothing happened. As of lately picture mail, and videos have been sending as a text message to other iPhone users even while connected to wifi. My phone just randomly turned off and won't turn back on. I just got it in July so its not very old and I have the hard protection case on it. Is there any way that I can reset it or something?

    Hold the home and power button down at the same time.
