My iphone 5 won't turn on or charge
My Iphone 5 won't turn on or charge. I've tried 3 different chargers, a reset but still nothing. Any ideas or tips?
Hi there Betty Boop 64,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
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 LCIsand 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.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

My iPhone won't turn on or charge
So I have an iPhone 4 16GB that I've had since brand new around 2 years ago.
I charged it throughout last night and got to it this morning to find it hadn't charged, despite having a chare symbol in the corner. I left it to (from 4%) and tried to charge it again. The problem starts here as the apple symbol will come up and go through the start-up process, but as soon as the background appears, it snaps straight onto the shutdown process as if it had just been turned off or died again (rotating circle). I left it to charge all day hoping it would resolve itself but all day it has repeated the afore mentioned on and off sequence the whole time. I tried to restore it from my itunes but as the phone won't stay on my macbook can't connect to it, and I have run out of ideas. I have used various chargers ad cables and even a dock and the same thing happens everytime.
Thanks in advance to any replies/ thoughts on the matter.I let it charge again all last night but nothing new has happened. When I plug the phone in to charge it responds as normal but just won't charge or stay turned on, and as I said before I've used multiple different chargers and all have the same result.
Thanks for the quick response -
My iPhone won't turn on/off, charge or show up on itunes.
I locked my iPhone using the lock/power button and now the lock screen won't appear and I can't turn it on/off or charge it. Anyone have any ideas?
Your phone is fried.

Iphone won't turn on or charge - I've tried everything! Any ideas?
Hi guys,
I have the new Iphone 3GS and last night while I was asleep the battery died, so this morning I plugged in with the wall socket and nothing seemed to be happening... swapped plugs, swapped cables, charged it with my car charger and have now got it plugged into the computer. It's responded each time with the apple symbol as if it's trying to turn on, but it eventually goes blank after 30secs or so. I've left it on charge for a few hours and nothing seems to be happening! Really don't want to go through the hassle of sending it to get repaired as I have important things not backed up on it!
Any ideas on how I can get it to work?
Thank you!
AmySee if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. -
This morning, my iPhone actually was down to 1% battery left. However, after more than 20 minutes, the battery still wasn't charging, so I followed the directions of shutting down my phone and turning it back on and then resetting it. When I powered down my phone, it wouldn't turn back on, and instead, it shows the low battery image on dispplay. I tried resetting it even longer than the usual 10 seconds, but the apple logo does not show up. I hope my battery isn't dead, but is there something I can do to fix my phone other than what I have done so far?
You can "try" recovery mode:
Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode & restore it:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
If no luck...your next step is an Apple store. -
I just got my battery and iphone 4 screen fixed and when it turned off because there weren't any battery left, I tried charging it. After charging it for like thirty minutes, I pressed the home & lock button and it turned on for a moment for me to see that it was only at 1%... So basically it wasn't charging for that entire half hour. Then, I tried connecting it to my computer and nothing is popping up... so it won't turn on or charge... what do i do?
Who repaired the phone? I suggest taking it back to this repair facility. Since Apple replaces phones instead of repair, the repair facility would be the one to take care of your problem.

My nano and iPhone4 were face to face for a few seconds and now my iPhone won't turn on. It doesn't do anything. I had just charged it. How do I get my iPhone going again? What happened?
Reset your phone:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release. -
Woke up and my phone was completely dead. Won't turn on, no charging, nothing at all. Thought maybe some kind of water damage because it was on my windowsill, but neither of the water detectors have turned a color. Help?
No that’s probably what I’ll do. I'm thinking the guys at the apple store can only do basic technical support since most of them are sales people that don't know how to physically repair phones. It seems kinda silly that, as fine as a product the iPhone is, when something like this happens they just tell you to replace the entire device without doing any proper diagnostic. If it was any other phone you could simply take it to a cell phone repair shop and they'll usually fix it. It’s almost as though Apple assumes their products will never fail so that when they do, the only solution is to replace the entire device at a cost higher then it would be if it was just a simple fix. So hopefully the local cell repair shop can do something instead of having to replace the entire phone. I'll accept the fact if I have to replace it after taking it to a few places and having some real technicians look at it, instead of a 5 minute trial and error diagnostic done by a sales associate at the apple store being quick to tell me that the phone is useless and has to be replace for several hundreds of dollars.

i turned my ipod off, and it won't turn back on. charging doesn't work and it won't be recognised by wi-fi or usb connections. how do i fix it?
Check your cable whether it is good. If it is use the wall plug to charge at least half an hour. See how it goes.

I have some songs/interludes on my Garageband app on my Iphone. I was planning on using some for my bands album. Now my Iphone won't turn on and I'm being told to restore the phone. Have I lost all my Garageband songs?
Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

IPhone won't turn on after trying to restore to beta version.
I was trying to restore my iPhone to the latest beta version and during the restore, an error occurred and my iPhone won't turn on, and iTunes does not recognize it anymore. Now, when i try to turn it on, the logo appears and then appears the "connect to iTunes" image and IMMEDIATELY the screen turns white and Apple's logo appears again and starts all over again.
If you're a registered developer, you have access to the developers forums. iOS 5 beta can NOT be discussed in the public forums. If you're not a developer, bummer... you shouldn't have installed a stolen beta on your phone, should ya?

Macobook pro won't turn on or charge
Ok, so I was surfing the web on my 3 month old macbook pro 2011 and it completly turned off while it had plenty of battery left. I only had it on for about an hour but it felt pretty hot. So my first thought was that the battery died, so I plug it it but it won't charge. I tried different outlets, the light on the charger it self is blinking pretty fast but it just won't turn on or charge at all.
I made an appointment with the genious bar for tomorrow, but I'm curious to know if anyone knows what could be the cause. I think it may have overheated, but I really do not use this laptop much.
Thanks in advance for your help.I think it may have overheated, but I really do not use this laptop much.
There could be many reasons. For one thing the MBP is NOT a laptop. It is a notebook. It should never be used on the lap nor should it's vents be blocked. According to the user manual it states in part:
"Do not operate your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro. Never push objects into the ventilation openings."
MacBook Pro: Care, Use, and Safety Information
"Do not place your MacBook Pro on your lap or other body surface for extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially a burn."
