My iphone will not turn on even when its charging, how do i fix this?

ok so i bought a used iphone 4g offline. well i received it today and it does not work at all. I cannot turn on the iphone by the on/off button. Also I cannot turn on the iphone even while its charging, in fact it will not charge. As I Know Apple's policy on replacing the iphone, One must purchase a warranty. I Have not done so again due to me getting this iphone offline. Is There Any Tips On How To Get This To Work?

Not sure who you bought the iphone from (btw there is no "4g"), but if it was from ebay or some stranger, then I would get in touch with the person ASAP and ask about this problem.  You could also try using a different USB cable, since the current one MAY have a probelm with charging, as other users have experienced.  If nothing can charge the phone, then I would be very worried.
I assume you have tried the usual trick: reset.

  • MY iPhone will not turn on even when plugged in.

    My 3gs was working. I plugged into my Mac to charge. Came back and the phone is unresponsive. Tried turning on using one and both buttons, NOTHING. When it is plugged in still nothing. Tried letting it charge and back of iPhone (probably battery) is very hot.

    You can't, unless you're technically expert and have all the necessary test equipment and tools, and don't mind voiding any existing warranty.  Otherwise, take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your area.
    Before going that route, try charging it with the AC adaptor for at least 1 hour.  If it gets hot again, stop ASAP.

  • Light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool.  I'm afraid it will start a fire.

    light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool.  I'm afraid it will start a fire.  Aside from breaking it, putting in in a metal pail in the yard, or putting it in a bucket of water, what can be done to keep it from setting a fire.  It is so hot it burns my skin if i touch it, so bright, it hurts to look at, so hot there is now a warning that it is not usable till it cools down, but there is no way to cool it down. 

    more info, this happened after update to 7.0.2, and also wifi will no longer turn on since update.  I took it in to apple store, it had one month left on warrenty, and they said that it would have had to get wet for this to happen.  I thought that maybe it got wet through my jeans pocket in the rain or something so I didn't pursue it.  Now of course, it is out of warranty by a month. 

  • HT1320 my ipod nano is stuck in the lock position, my  hold switch will not turn off even when I move it, I have restored it and it came back on in the hold position

    My ipod naaIno is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it.  I have tried restoring it and resetting it and it still comes back on in the hold/locked postion.  It will only play when placed on a docking station and then I cant scroll to pick songs, I can only go to next song using buttons on docking station.

    You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

  • HT4623 My passbook will not connect to the app store. How do i fix this?

    My passbook will not connect to the app store. How do i fix this?

    I got the same error... the trick didn't fix it... but I don't think it has to.
    I already have had the current American Airlines app and happen to be flying later today. I was in the app to view my boarding pass and it gave me the option to add it... clicked to do so..
    and now that boarding pass is in Passbook!
    While it's frustrating not to be able to see all the apps available that support passbook via that connection that isn't happening... and apps that support passbook don't seem to have the keyword 'passbook' to come up in a reg itunes search.. Apps you have and apps you want that you know support passbook are all you need. I initially thought had to download special passbook apps or something - not the case. Just grab the apps you want normal via the iTunes store - and those that support passbook allow you to add the cards and passes and such to it.
    Hope this helps.

  • The light on the back of my phone will not turn off, even when I turn the phone off. Help?

    The light on the back of my iphone 4s will not turn off. Even when I turn the phone off the light stays on.  Can someone help? I did notice that the camera on the back has a little bit of moisture. (I have 3 small kids).

    You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

  • My lock button is broken and my iphone will not power back on when I charge it, how do I turn it on?

    My iphone will not power on when I plug it into charger in the wall, computer, or car. My lock button is broken and I do not know how to turn it back on. My phone did not die it just went black and has not been dropped, cracked, or gotten wet. What do I do?

    Normally one would do a reset, however without the lock button, which is the sleep/wake button, you cannot do a reset. You could always wait until the battery dies to see if it will start when plugged in, but the sleep/wake button is an integral part of the phone and needs to work to do a number of functions. I suggest that you make an appointment at the Genius Bar to get it fixed.

  • IMac Will Not Turn On (Even When Cool and SMC Reset)

    Hi all.
    I have recently had a VERY ANNOYING problem with my iMac. It will not turn on. No matter what. I have reset the SMC (unplug, wait whatever, plug back in etc.) and have cooled it down with time and a battery fan held up to the case, but it still will not turn on.
    I am really getting sick of this iMac and feel like sending it back, but I know that there is some sort of easy fix out there somewhere. I do not want to take it to the Apple Store again (2 times in the 5 days Ive had it already).
    I read somewhere else that the older iMacs have stuffed up logic boards, which causes the computer's 'max operating temperature' to be much lower than usual, causing unnecessary 'overheating'. Is there some way to disable auto-shutdowns because of temperature, or raise the maximum allowed?
    Please help, I just need to upgrade my Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 (from 10.6.3) to fix some software problems!
    Thank you so much!
    -Michael
    Oh yes, iMac stats:
    1.5GB of RAM
    2.0GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo processor
    Early 2006 20" White iMac
    Anything else you need to know about it, just ask!

    Ok, the Snow Leopard disc did not have the AHT thingy on it, but the Tiger one did. Currently running extended test. Had to reset the SMC to get the thing to turn on. I will do the test twice, then reset the PRAM and give you the results.
    I have come to a conclusion about one thing: Old iMacs are very fussy and take a lot of work to keep them going, but are very satisfying to use.

  • My phone turned off and will not turn on even on the charger

    My phone turned off and will not turn back on.  It doesn't react when charger is plugged in, no sign of life at all.  What do I do?

    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds.
