        Thanks for keeping us posted lizy7796. May I ask did the replacement device resolved the powering concern? Also, how much available device memory do you have after you restored your info onto the new device? If you have any additional questions then as always we're here to help.
    Thank you…

    Hi gillybabe82,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great suggestions and will help you solve the iPhone power issue that you described.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    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.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    I hope this helps.

  • IPhone appeared to not be charging, then shut off and won't come back on.

    Please, anyone??? I had my phone plugged into the car charger that came with my phone. Suddenly the phone appeared to not be charging. It finally went dead. Even though now it has been plugged up to the house USB cable for over 3 hours it doesn't make the sound like it is charging when I connect it, it doesn't show the charging screen. And I can't power it back on. Even by holding the home button and the top button at the same times it won't reset or anything!!!! Has anyone else had this issue and is there a cure????? HELP!!!!

    Today was in an apple store - they checked it and found that charge in battery was too low. They replaced it immediately and - lucky me - there was still a warranty (only 17 days left). The replaced iPhone has warranty of 90 days.
    There seems to be no other solution.

  • IPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal

    iPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal. I have to keep joining the network or restarting devices or forgetting network and rejoining it.  As a side note my 1st gen iPhone which I upgraded to iPhone 5 yesterday always stayed connected!

    The steps to try would be to:
    1. Restore the iPhone to Factory.
    2. If that does not solve the problem replace the iPhone.
    If Verizon is offering to replace the iPhone for free under warranty I would go with that option.

    Your phone is in recovery mode.  All your data are already gone.

    does this only happen at your home network or with multiple networks?

    Reboot your router by removing all power from it for about 15 seconds.

  • My iphone 4s will not stay powered off

    When I power off my Iphone, the screen goes black for a few seconds, and then the apple logo appears and the phone powers back on. I have tried resetting it (I think) by holding both the lock button and the home screen button at the same time, but the problem continues. The phone indicates that it is up to date on all software.
    The phone also seems to be draining battery charge at a faster rate. I purchased the phone in December 2011, so it is not that old.
    Any suggestions.

    Carefully clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush.

    Do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.

  • Please help! My iPhone 4s will not let me slide from off to no

  • Iphone 5 will not charge, tried 3 different cables and none of them work on my phone but do on other iPhone 5's

    Iphone 5 will not charge, tried 3 different cables and none of them work on my phone but do on other iPhone 5's. All 3 cables are genuine Apple cables.

    Sounds like the dock port on your iPhone has a problem. It is in warranty so you will need to get it serviced.

  • HT201210 My ipad mini is stuck in a continues reboot and will not turn on or shut off. What can I do.

    My Ipad mini was in the middle of an update for the Pintrest app when the upload froze. I tried shutting down the ipad and that seemed to cause it to go into a constant reboot. Now the ipad will not turn on or shut off. Only display the apple sign. Are the any self fix remedies out there to fix this?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
