My phone is completly dead and wont respond...

My Iphone went dead and now wont even acknowledge being plugged in or wont charge at all. The only thing happens is it shows a black screen with a plug and a lightening bolt. Does anyone know if there is something i can do?

If it won't charge from a known good charger and usb plug there isn't anything you can do, other than perhaps gently brusing the dock connector at the bottom of the phone with a clean dry toothbrush in order to clean it.  Make an appointment with the Genius bar at a nearby Apple store to have it looked at.

  • My ipod is completely dead and wont charge. What should I do?

    Ipod completely dead and wont charge. I've had it plugged in for days to multiple things. never happened before. please help!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

    Home button + power button for 15sec - 1min until you see apple Logo.
    Release buttons, breathe a sigh of relief.

    Hi mikemikenation,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the blank black screen issue with your iPhone 5s.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Take care,

  • Can you delete a phone lock through icloud? my phone is completely dead and i need my photos off it

    my phone has died and I need my photos, because it has a phone lock it wont let me sync to iTunes. Is there a way around this?

    Syncing with iTunes doesn't transfer photos from your phone to your computer, it only transfers photos from your computer to your phone.  This explains how to import photos: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.

    I had the same problem and tried your solution.  It worked!!!  Yay!!!  You have to hold the buttons down for a while.  I was about to give up when the apple logo turned on.  I'm so glad.  I was really bummed when I went to wake my phone up and nothing happened.  I wonder why it did that though.  I hadn't dropped it or anything.

  • Ipod completely blank and wont respond to anything. what should i do? whats wrong?

    My iPod fell in water a few months ago and I decided to take it to the authorised dealer in my city, Nairobi. They told me they couldnt fix it. Today, I connected it into my laptop and it said 'Charging, Please Wait...' so i did until the apple logo appeared with the light behind. Later on, it went off and my laptop has really tried to restart it, but it gives me these random errors (a different one each time) I really need it back. Please help!

    I tried that as well but the screen just went blank again. Then randomly, it says connect to power and even so, it still says connect to power. Its barely a year old.

  • Woke up and my phone was completely dead. Won't turn on, no charging, nothing at all.  Thought maybe some kind of water damage because it was on my windowsill, but neither of the water detectors have turned a color.  Help?

    No that’s probably what I’ll do. I'm thinking the guys at the apple store can only do basic technical support since most of them are sales people that don't know how to physically repair phones. It seems kinda silly that, as fine as a product the iPhone is, when something like this happens they just tell you to replace the entire device without doing any proper diagnostic. If it was any other phone you could simply take it to a cell phone repair shop and they'll usually fix it. It’s almost as though Apple assumes their products will never fail so that when they do, the only solution is to replace the entire device at a cost higher then it would be if it was just a simple fix. So hopefully the local cell repair shop can do something instead of having to replace the entire phone. I'll accept the fact if I have to replace it after taking it to a few places and having some real technicians look at it, instead of a 5 minute trial and error diagnostic done by a sales associate at the apple store being quick to tell me that the phone is useless and has to be replace for several hundreds of dollars.

  • HT201413 iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

    iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

    Mikey, I have the exact same problem. Dropped my 3gs on Thanksgiving, phone was not responsive, plugged into the wall charger, went to grey iPhone restore screen, then said to connect to itunes. So I plugged it into itunes but itunes wont recognize it nor will my computer. I searched the internet for hours with no success. I tried to change USB ports and cords, tired removing the SIM card, reinstalled itunes, everything. When I put it in DFU mode itunes recognizes an iphone in recovery mode, so I click restore and update, then I get error 1602 every time. My iPhone also loses power when I unplug it from the wall. I do not know what to try next. You are the only person I have found with the same exact problem I have. I will update you if I find a way to get my phone working again and I hope you will do the same. I'm very frustrated

  • My iPhone 4 is completely dead and won't charge, turn on, no signs of life!

    My iPhone 4 is completely dead and won't charge, turn on, no signs of life! What to do???

    Was late to work because my alarm didn't go off on my iPhone this morning! (4 w/ IOS 5)  When I woke up, I went to check my phone and it wouldn't turn on; so I plugged it in to the charger and no response.  I left it plugged in while I was getting ready...came back a shortwhile later...still no signs of life.  At that point, I held both buttons for several seconds and the apple logo appeared and the lock screen displayed shortly thereafter.  And what's odd, is that it showed that I had about 80% of battery life left.  So it seems like something else caused it to shutdown completely.  One note though...I updated to IOS 5 on Sunday...and I've used my phone ever since with no problems.  So this is the first time this has happened since the update. 
    In looking at a thread on another site, I found this excerpt from an alleged beta tester back in June...and it was in reference to the iPad 2 with IOS 5, but seemed plausible enough to share here:
    Issue:  "Hey guys, whenever my iPad 2 is locked for a while, it wont wake from sleep.  I have to give it a hard reset.  Is anyone else having this issue?"
    Response:  "I think I isolated the issue....make sure banner notifications are turned off for mail app. If the screen is locked and you get a mail it freezes up causing you to reboot. hope it gets fixed in the next beta!"
    Follow-up:  "Did it help you at all? I tried recreating every way I could think of with mail and never could. I'll turn of mail notifications for the rest of the night and see what happens."
    "Hey Rick, yes it helped, my iPad no longer shuts off.  I turned off mail banner notifications like Defender2010 said, and at least for now, it doesn't turn off anymore."

  • HT1349 my iphone went dead and wont charge at all, please help :(

    my iphone went dead and wont charge. I tried plugging it on the wall and via the usb to my laptop but still no luck. any suggestions on how to make it work?

    Try using a differnt USB cord.   Or hold down the power/home button together for 10 to 15 sec or until you see the apple logo and then release, wait for your phone to boot back up.

  • My iphone is not working at all its completely off and wont turn on.

    my iphone 4s is not working at all it is completely off and wont turn on, what should I do?

    No, I haven't learned anything more.  It doesn't happen to me enough to warrant trying to swap it out for a new one, though I have discussed the possiblity with the folks I bought it from.  They are not big-volume Apple sellers but I was the first to complain to them about this problem.  Hasn't happened to me in over a month.  Some people are convinced it's a problem with the phone, not the software and therefore not fixable, but I suspect there is more than one reason it can happen.  I'm hoping my problem is cured, fingers crossed and all that.  Good luck, glad my post helped you.

  • I 'think' my Ipod Touch is in recovery mode and people say to hold the power and home button for 10 sec and i did, but its still not turning back on. Plus its dead and wont charge

    - If in recovery mode the screen will have an iTunes logo with an USB plug.
    - Have you tried connecting it to your computer for a n hw and then see if it appears in iTunes. If it does restore the iPod.
    - If screen is blank, try placing he iPod in recovery mode and then restoring. For recovery mode:
