My iPhone will not turn on, Help?

About two to three hours ago (give or take) I was having issues with connecting/syncing my iPhone 4 to my iTunes on my Laptop, thankfully that problem is solved. Now I am facing a weird issue, my phone stopped working- it will not turn on, almost like it's dead. I tried charging it, thinking that the battery was low and it died. Yet, the last time I was on it, the battery was at a 82 percent. I had also tried to reset it (press Home/Power button at the same time) and it still does not turn on. I'm confused and worried about this, does anyone have helpful information?

IPhone will not turn on, help please!!!

My phone will not turn on! The apple logo comes up for a couple secs then it turns off. It does this even when plugged into wall and computer, any help would be greatly appreciated because I can't get on iTunes to restore it! Thanks!

Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Hi there,
Firstly, try a hard reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
If this doesn't work, try restoring your device. Put it in recovery mode if iTunes doesn't recognise it, and restore it from there. I have linked to instructions below.

Let me know if this helps,

Hi,
I am having the same problem. Itunes reports that it's uploaded all the music etc.
When I turn the match function on, it says "you are not currently subscribed to itunes match".
I have restarted the phone and coputer, logged in & out several times to no avail.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Help, my iPhone will not turn on what appears is the iTunes icon and an image of the plug and wire

My iPhone will not turn on, all that appears is the iTunes icon and the image of the plug and wire, please help

The device is in recovery mode. See this support document for instructions on how to handle that.

My Iphone Will Not Restore, Please Help.

Hello,
I fell asleep while facetiming, I woke up and found that my iphone will not turn on, which is odd, since I was charging it. I then took it off my charger and then put it back on. The Iphone 4 then showed the Apple Insignia for about 10 seconds, then became a dark screen, then back to the insignia. It did this repeated flashing for a good ten minutes. I then took it off the charger and the phone stopped flashing and it became totally dead. I tried pressing the home button, and the top button, but there was no effect. I then plugged in my Iphone to the computer and put it into recovery mode. I tried to restore it, but it continually keeps getting an error (21). I tried it on a different computer, will not restore, but got a different error (I believe it was the error (1604)). I tried restoring it multiple times, I updated my Itunes to the latest version, I made sure my connection was well. I tried taking my Iphone off of recovery mode, but it did not work.
I suspect that my problems are due to the fact that my Iphone will not stay on without being connected to a power source, and that is the reason for all the errors. I tried it on different USB ports and different computers. Please correct me if I am wrong, and please help me figure out what I should do next. I do not mind losing all my contacts, but I do mind if I have to spend money on a new phone, afterall, I barely even had this phone for a year.
So Please, I am begging. Please help me and tell me why doesn't my phone stay on without being connected? Is it because I fell asleep while facetiming and because neither of us hung up it over-heated and killed the battery? Is there an easy way to fix this since I am technologically-impaired? Is there any hope for me and my Iphone's future?
Any answer will be very much appreciated.
Thank You.

It sounds to me like you either got defective parts or otherwise did not make the repair correctly. We cannot help with self-repairs here, the iPhone officially not user servicable, but you can ask for advice in the forums on ifixit.com, a site which is dedicated to those attempting their own repairs.
Regards.

My iphone will not turn on. Why?

My iphone will not turn on. Why?? Help me please !!

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take 10 to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

My iphone will not turn on.... it froze earlier today and now it will not turn on all i get is a black screen with the apple symbol every once in awhile... also it will not connect to my computer so i can reset it to factory settings

Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

IPhone will not turn on, charge or connect to a PC

My iPhone will not turn on, I was installing the iOS update on 4% battery which i've realised is bad and now my phone won't charge, turn on or even connect to a pc, i've tried pressing the two buttons to try fix it but nothing happens the screen remains black, ive tried charging it from a wall and nothing works at all! Is there anything else I can do?

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 another cable
- 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.

My iphone will not turn on at all. i tried to hard reboot it and still nothing what can i do to fix this?

Take it to your local Apple Store and have the genius take a look. If it won't respond at all, it sounds like a hardware failure.

My iphone will not turn on or charge? What is wrong with it?

My Iphone will not turn on and it doesnt show the battery charging, what is wrong with it?

Try doing a hard reset by holding down the Home Button and the Sleep/Wake Button. This should either get the iPhone started back up or show you a battery icon. If you see the battery icon, go ahead and charge for about 20 minutes and it should be up and running.
If neither of the two happens; you may need a replacement iPhone.

My wife's iphone will not turn on. I have tried the normal resetting procedures but nothing. Any ideas would be much appreciated..

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...

HT4061 my iphone will not turn on it blacked out and will not turn back on

my iphone will not turn on what so ever

Is it still charging? Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work,try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
