My iPhone will not turn on, what should I do?

My iPhone will not turn on, I press the power button and the screen stays black, it's been on charge for the past hour and nothing is happening still. This has never happened and I've had my iPhone for over a year. What should I do?

Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

    Ive tried every step provided by apple but my original iphone will not turn on. what should i do?

    Well, if you've tried "every step", then there's nothing more to do.  Bring your phone into Apple.

  • I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do?

    I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do? do I just need a new screen or what? I'm freaking out here

    Don't freak out, just get over it. It's probably done.
    What should I do if I drop my phone in the toilet?
    Apple may offer you an refurbished iPhone in exchange for yours, for about half the cost of a new one.
    I wouldn't be too specific about just how it got wet

  • My imac will not turn over, what should I do

    my imac will not turn over, what should I do

    Just FYI,
    You are not addressing Apple here.
    People here who help troubleshoot and attempt to correctly answer technical questions in these Apple Support Communities are Apple users just like yourself.
    There are two initial things you can try.
    An NVRAM reset.
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information. The logic board battery helps retain NVRAM/PRAM settings when your computer is shut down.
    IF this fails to help reboot your iMac, you could try an SMC reset.
    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.
    Check back if neither one of these solves your iMac's issues.

  • Iphone 4S stopped working when fully charged and it will not turn on. what should i try?

    My brand new, fully charged, working for nearly 2 days iPhone 4S suddenly stopped working and will not turn on. I've tried recharging and it's unresponsive. What should I try to do?

    I've had a similar thing happen to my new iPhone 4S three times. It gets hot and doesn't respond to either button -- the screen remains completely off. I have to hold down both buttons for awhile until the Apple appears and then everything seems fine... until it happens again. Once it happened overnight, so I missed  my alarms. Another time, it was while I was at dinner.
    Always it happens when the iPhone is on standby with the screen off and nothing particular happening with it. The iPhone 4S is brand new, hasn't been dropped, hasn't been messed with in any way.
    Is there a way I can get a trace of what happened before I reset it? The system log (visible in "System Status" and other apps) starts with the reset, so it doesn't help here.

  • My iPhone will not turn on, what am I to do?

    I have the iPhone 4 on the ios 5 software, I apps was messing up so I turned my phone off when I tried to turn my phone the apple logo came up and still showing but will not come on. This have never happen before! I have been phoneless for over two hours and do not know what to do.. somebody help me PLEASE!!!

    That setting is for turning on iTunes Match, if you are an iTunes Match subscriber.  (iTunes Match is a separate service you can pay to subscribe to which will allow you to access your music library from iCloud - see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/.  When it is turned on, all music on the device is deleted and must then be accessed through your iTunes Match account.)
    To turn on iCloud, you go to Settings>iCloud, turn it one and provide you Apple ID with a verifiable email address.  See http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.

  • My iphone will not charge . What should i do?

    My iphone wont charge... What should i do

    Try another cable, another outlet, see if the device is recognized on a computer. Try to narrow down the issue to see if it is the phone or something else.
    If you think it is hardware related, schedule an appointment at an ARS or call tech support. If you're out of warranty there will be an out of warranty replacement/repair cost

  • My Iphone 5 will not turn on, what should I do?

    Even when I try turning the Iphone on by using my charger it still doesnt work (lock button doesnt work)

    If it's a hardware issue (defective lock button), take it to an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    If it is a hardware problem and it is due to a defect in the unit (as opposed to damaging the unit), it should be covered by warranty.

    My  new iphone 4s will not turn on, what should i do

    Has it been fully charged since you brought it out the box?  if you have fully charge it.
    Try a reset holding down the home/power button togetther for 10 to 15 secs or until you see the apple logo and then release.   Wait for phone to boot back up.

  • 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

  • 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.
