Hello Cooper,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5.  I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not powering on.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
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.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

    i was texting and locked my phone and now it wont turn back on and i tried charching it and everything.. any other ideas?

    Try reseting. You may lose everything on phone though
    To reset
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    'Home Button' is the Black depression in the Iphone that you can press
    'Sleep/Wake Button' is the black raised area at the top of the Iphone

  • I tried to put my ipod in dfu mode and now it wont turn back on?

    my ipod was diabled and it said i had to connect it to itunes. then i was told to put it into dfu mode. i tried to do that but now my ipod wont turn back on. HELP?

    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 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 Mac randomly just turned off and now it wont turn back on, the charger light is faintly flashing green and amber?!?!

    My mac randomly turned off last night had some trouble with an uncertified usb cable that I was trying to charge my iphone 5S with but it came up with that message of not being able to charge with this accessory or something so i plugged it into my mac thinking it was my plug to charge my phone then like 5 mins later my mac just randomly turns off and it did have like 90% batt but i still plugged it back in thinking it was just being wierd but then i pressed the power button after it being plugged into my mac and it wouldnt even turn on no fan starts or anything and now the colour of the charger light is very faint and is almost flickering between green and amber, please help me out I dont want to pay loads of money for something that I might be able to fix?!?!?!

    I actually just fixed it.  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.
    It's not exactly what I did but it should work.  If it doesn't work, what I really did was unplug the battery and then plugged my charger into the computer, the fans started spinning and then it shut off again.  Then I plugged the battery back in, put the bottom on (with no screws), and tried booting up again.  The Apple chime played and then the computer shut off.  So I tried booting again holding the "Option" key and it booted up like normal.  I then restarted my computer to make sure it is back to normal and it is.
    Wow what a relief.  I was really scared there for a minute.
    *And for everyones information I was using a Belkin USB cable but it had never done that before.

  • Z10 Battery died and now it wont turn back on after charging for 3 -5 hours

    My phone completely died and i didnt charge it for about a day. I went to charge it the following day and it wont hold a charge. I plug the charger in and the red light on the top right of the phone turns on and then blackberry appears on the screen shortly after and then it just turns off.
    I plugged it into my computer and it wont even recognize my device. 
    I also had it plugged in for a few hours and then pulled the battery out and for a few seconds and reinserted it and nothing. 
    Any help would be appreciated.
