My phone is dead and won't recharge.  I've tried plugging it into other outlets...not any better.

Any suggestions besides buying a new phone?

You mentioned trying other outlets but not if you tried other chargers. If the phone is still not charging, I'm afraid that another phone would you be your only other avenue....unless you want to try a DIY and replace the battery which may cost less and void your warranty. There's also the risk that you'll brick your phone. Youtube has multiple videos that show you how to replace it though.
Good luck!

    Hi. Yesterday my iphone went dead. I tried to recharge it with the car charger. No dice. Then at home. No dice. I tried putting the plug in diffferent ways. Nothing. The outlet works. What's wrong with this thing?

    Hey Artichoke25!

    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 iPhone lock button is broken..and now the phone is dead and won't turn on! Help!?

    So the lock button on my iPhone 4 is broken, 100%, and the battery died earlier today, when I plug it in, it usually turns on if it has been dead...I tried doing this for hours and nothing happened, I plugged it into 3 different chargers thinking that might be the problem. And since there isn't a apple store close to me, I went to AT&T and they told me I need to do some type of restart (I forget what it's called) it is where you hold down the home and lock button at the same time, but as you can see that wont work since my lock button Is broken. Is there ANYTHING else I can do to fix it!?

    Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Battery is dead and won't recharge--the phone is 14 days old

    My I-phone 5 is not recharging. It was 3/4 full of battery life last night, I turned all the applications I had used (only 3). The second day  I had the phone, I thought it felt hot and did call Apple and got a case number. It is now 14 days old. I gave up my house phone but this is making wonder if that was wise as now I have no phone to use...any ideas?

    Bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • HT4528 iPhone 4S battery at 30% when recharge started last night - this morning battery is dead, and won't recharge from any USB or A/C Wall adapters

    Are there local alternatives to mailing in iPhone 4S for battery replacement?  It's aggravating that this problem developed without warning, just outside the warranty window (I should expect that problems will occur immediately after my one-year warranty expires.  I'm wondering about third-party support and battery replacement...)

    Connect the PlayBook to the charger that came with the unit. Since the batteries are totally dead, they will come back to life. Connect them and leave them for a few days. Afterwards hold down the power button only until the red light flashes and allow it to reboot. Try not to let the battery go below 10% in the future.

  • Z22 went dead and won't recharge

    It's less than a month old... 
    It just stopped even thought the battery showed a full charge when I checked it before leaving for work and during the day had it on collectively for less than 5 minutes. 
    Any suggestion as to what I should do?
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    The good thing is you should be able to return it to your place of purchase if it is less than 30 days old. but what you can try is plug it in and let it charge for about 15 minutes, Then try a soft reset if it still wont come up. Press the reset button about 2o times rapidly and see if it comes on.

  • HT4113 uh my phone is broken and won't turn on. so I'm getting a new phone and need to back it up but i need to unlock my passcode to backup but my phones locked sooooo idk ;/

    uh my phone is broken and won't turn on. so I'm getting a new phone and need to back it up but i need to unlock my passcode to backup but my phones locked sooooo idk ;/

    Nothing you can do, sorry to say.  If it will not turn on there is absolutely nothing you can do now to backup what is on it.  The whole point of a backup is to have made it before disaster strikes.  Now, with a dead iPhone, all you can do is accept the loss of your data.
    You will be able to re-download iTunes and App store purchases since they are tied to your AppleID, not your device.
    Have you been using iCloud for backup?  If you have, then you should have a backup in iCLoud you can use to restore your replacement phone with.  iCloud backups are automatic (once every 24hrs, whenever your device is on wifi, plugged in and asleep).

  • 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."
