My iphone 5 will not turn back on!

My iphone 5 died and will not turn back on. Ive tried everything from wiggling the mute button to pressing both home and lock buttom together. Its had 9hours charging time and still nothing. I know that the charger is in working order as i tried it on my boyfriends phone and it charged the iphone without fail. I havent dropped the phone or got it wet to give it water damage so its extremely odd how it suddenly wont work. I didnt purchase the phone from apple but a company that sells second hand phones...meaning my serial number isnt valid for sending it to be serviced with apple. Ive only had the phone 6months and am desperate to get it back in working order.
Any suggestions? many thanks.

Try holding down the home button and power button together while the phone is connected to power. If that doesn't work you would want to try putting the phone into recovery mode (hold down home button, and while you're holding the home button down connect it to a computer with iTunes opened up). Hopefully you won't have to do the recovery mode option because that would erase your phone but that usually gets the phone turned on. Hope this helps!

IPhone 4 will not turn back on no water damage

My Iphone 4 will absolutely not turn back on. I've tried everything I've read online. I tried resetting it by pressing both the home and power switch for 10 seconds, then I plugged it in and tried that again. There is no water damage, and it froze when I was taking a picture so I put it in my purse and when I took it out it had turned itself off. ITunes isn't recognizing that it is plugged in, and I've tried charging it for a while and it still isn't turning on. There is a little light coming from the headphone jack too...
HELP!

Light coming from the headphone jack...? Why do you feel the need to specify that there was no water damage?
Are the moisture sensors tripped?
If it won't power on at all, it sounds like you'll have to take it in to the genius bar and have it looked at.

Help me!!!!! my iphone 4 will not turn back on HELP

i was watching a movie in my living room and the last time i looked at my phone it was at 40% and the next thing i know that it is turned off and will not show any sign of turning back on

Charge it for 30 minutes with the wall adapter. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If nothing happens your phone has expired, or at least has a bad battery.

Iphone 4 will not turn back on

I have an 8GB iphone 4 through at&t and it has been dropped in water twice but dried out in rice and worked perfectly fine afterwards. However last night my daughter got aholod of it and was chewing on the top of it and when I took it away it white screened, froze at the homescreen and then shut off. It turned back on several minutes later and was perfectly fine. When I had taken it from her, it had no drool on it or anything so I don't think any water got into it. Shortly after it turned back on it shut off but not completely, the back light was still on (meaning if I went into a dark room it was a blueish black light) and I waited for the battery to die. I even put it in rice overnight to ensure that had any drool gotten inside of it, that it would dry out. I have tried connecting it to the charger, to the computer, to itunes, holding down the power button, holding down the power and home button at the same time, nothing works. I haven't called my carrier yet but I have no doubt they'll re-direct me to Apple and apple wont cover it.. any suggestions at all? Also, does anyone know the cost of a replacement phone from apple? I know it'll be expensive, but I'm under contract and kind of screwed here.

My iPhone 4 will not turn back on

Was working out side in the cold the phone was no where near water shuts it self off and shows no sign of coming back on even when pressing the power button 1hr and 30 mins after it heats back up

The battery could have died. Try charging your phone - just let it sit while it's charging for at least fifteen minutes. If the problem was a dead or extremely low battery, you should be able to turn it back on after it's been charging for a little while. If that doesn't do the trick, did any dirt or other debris somehow get lodged in a part of the phone? That could prevent the phone from turning on. If all else fails, call Apple Support. Here's the page for support numbers depending on where you live:

The iPhone I got yesterday turned off and will not turn back on.

Is it charged? If so try a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset. If it's not charged, charge it via a wall socket for a least 30 minutes then try the reset again.

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 15 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.

Charge with the mains charger for 15 minutes, then disconnect and hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

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.
