My iPhone 5s turns off randomly and won't turn back on

Yesterday my iphone just shut off randomly even after being charged at 100%. I gave it a hard reset three times and it finally turned back on. But today it blanked out again and every time I try to turn it on the apple icon pops up but then disappears. The screen goes black and nothing happens. I've tried the hard reset and that doesn't work, I've even tried holding down all four buttons and it still doesn't work.

  • Iphone 4 turns off randomly and won't turn back on unless it's plugged in

    Iphone 4 turns off randomly and won't turn back on unless it's plugged in.
    Has anyone had this problem?
    If I leave the phone (thus not doing anything to it) for an extended period of time say 2 hrs. It will have turned off and you can't turn it back on unless you plug it in, but it's got heaps of "Battery" left.
    Ever so often it will turn off randomly as well, and can't turn it on again.

    If your iPhone is powering off, this is not normal.
    Try restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If no change after doing so, your iPhone has a hardware problem. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

  • Iphone 4 shut off randomly and won't come back on

    I was out yesterday and I put my Iphone 4 in my pocket, the battery was on %70 and I took it back out to make a phone call and it must have shut it self off, I tried turning it back on and it wouldn't work. I've tried pressing the home and lock button but that doesn't work either, I've plugged it in to my computer and it;s no responce? The phone is cracked, and I've had it over a year.

    Plug it into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes, then try resetting it, again: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    If that doesn't work, make an appointment at any Apple store.

  • HT4528 My iPhone 4 shuts off randomly and won't turn on until I plug it in

    even tried to hold down the home button + the power button

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.

  • MacBook Pro Mid 2014 shut off randomly and won't turn back on.

    Hello,
    My MacBook Pro(Mid 2014) won't turn back on. I was just typing up my essay and it just turned straight off and won't turn back on. It has happen several times before and all I had to do was press the buttons(SMC method) and the PVRAM thing and it would turn back on. But now it doesn't turn on at all. How do I fix this issue? I had went today to the Apple Store and had a appointment at 3:15-3:25 and I was late by 2 minutes, so they couldn't help me and offered me to come back at 5PM, but will busy so I asked for 5 Monday. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Back when it was operating it would shut off whenever I was using it at the random times. This is my first MacBook so I don't know if it's suppose to get Hot and loud sometimes when operating and then cool off afterwards if that helps out. It shutoff last week wednesday and doesn't turn on at all, but will charge to fully green though. Anyone got any suggestions? I do have a MacBook screwdriver to open it, so if anyone knows anything about the inside and how to resolve the issue it would be great. I don't know how to remove the battery so if you do know please tell me or some keyboard trick would be helpful!   All my data is on this so I would like to solve before Apple erases my data.

  • IPhone 4 turns off randomly and refused to turn on until 10 mins or so...

    My iPhone 4 originally AT&T smart phone, is what I use on T-mobile as of right now. I have had it for just about two years now and I think it's coming to its last few days. It turns off randomly throughout the day and does not turn on right away when I push either other of the button (simultaneously or one at a time), until about 5-10+ minutes or so. It is very frustrating and I really do love apple products but I don't know, something is telling me to switch to android unless a miracle happens. 
    Thanks in advanced.

  • New iPhone 5s shut off unexpected and won't turn back on

    I just received my new 5s. I activated it. Made a phone call. I was downloading my apps, and using them, when the phone shut off unexpected. I tried to turn the phone back on, the apple logo appeared, then it went to the waiting circle for a couple of minutes. After a couple of minutes the screen had a blue screen for a second, then it went back to the waiting circle, then it turned off. I've tried turning it on a couple of times with the same results. Help!

  • My computer turns off randomly and won't always tun right back on. What should I do?

    My computer recently started turning off randomly, some when I move it or just when I am sitting there using it. I have also had trouble getting it to turn back on after it turns off. I plugged it in the last time to get it back on, but I can't always have my charger with me when using it. What do I need to do?

  • My MacBook suddenly turned off. And won't turn on

    My MacBook suddenly turned off.  There was a click sound and then nothing.  I have tried to restart it but nothing happens. No sound no lights. It is plugged in and the power cord shows green. I have not damaged it in any way.....

    Here is what to do;
    1. Unplug everything from your computer.
    2. Take off the bottom of your MacBook / Pro / Air.  (There are usually 3 screws that are longer than the rest near the vent, remember where they go.)
    3. Carefully unplug the battery from the logic board.
    4. Wait 10 seconds.
    5. Plug the battery back into the logic board.
    6. Put the bottom cover back on.
    7. Reboot the computer holding the "Option" key.

  • Macbook pro 13" 2012 shut off randomly and won't turn on

    The only applications that were open were safari (I was watching hulu) and iTunes. The laptop randomly shut off without any warning. It was in the charger and was around 60-70% power. After it shut down the light that was on the charger turned to a faint orange blinking light and now is a faint green blinking light. This is the first time this has happened. I can't get the power to come back on. Need help asap!

    Try resetting the SMC
    Desktop Macs
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • IPhone 5s Shuts off/down and won't turn back on?

    I just updated the iPhone 5s with the new IOS software that apple just released I belive so this week (IOS 7.1?) and this was just yesterday (March 14, 2014), and just also yesterday I experienced that my iPhone 5s had shut off; which wasn't normal but and 1 hour later it turned back on and everyrthing was okay. Just today (March 15, 2014) in the early morning around 3AM the phone was working just fine and when I was using the phone I still kept it charging, around 10AM the phone had shut off again but the batery had been some where aroung 30% to 50%, I had thought that the phone battery drained out quickly so I go charge it, 30 Min. to 1 hour later I check on the phone to see if it can turn on, and it hadn't.
    All I remember is that I hadn't been around water or it hadn't been damage that might have caused the phone to stop working.
    it is still (March 15, 2014) 6PM and it is still down and not powering back up!!
    I also googled on the software IOS 7.1 to see if it was the Software update that might have caused this.
    Please, Please, Please repsond with help to this discussion!!
    Could it been the (IOS 7.1) that had caused the iPhone 5s to shut down?
