My phone turned off by itself and won't turn back on.

My phone turned off by itself and now it will not turn back on. I have tried both a soft and a hard restart and the only thing I get is the Dual Core Technology logo and it just stays on. I tried to do restart in regular and recovery mode and neither works. Is there a way to restart it without going back to factory settings????

    I'm sorry your phone won't turn on jessesealey! I'm sure this is beyond frustrating. Do you know what function was used just before powering off? (text, email, internet, etc.) Has the phone been dropped or wet at all? Even steam/mist? I know a Hard Reset is an inconvenience, so you can try charging for 3-4 hours and try powering back on. If that still doesn't work, a Hard Reset is what will need to be done. http://vz.to/Yg68Th

And that I have to visit one of their stores to get it either repaired or replaced !!!so, is there a possibility to get it replaced in the UK?

  • Airport turns off by itself and won't turn on back again!!!

    hey there, i am currently facing an issue with the airport as by it is turnning off by itself and i cant turn it back on .. i have to restart !!!
    sometimes when i turn on my mac like just now happened it is off and can;t be turned on.
    please if anyone can help i would really appreciate it
    thank you very much

    Hey, in case you haven't been able to find a solution to your original problem with airport turning off, i seem to have found the solution for my MacBook Pro. I called Apple Care and they had me to shut down my computer. Then, while holding down the four keys: command, option, R and P, push the power button to turn on the computer. Do not let up on the four keys until the start up chime has sounded twice. Then let up on the four keys and the OS will boot up as usual. They said what that does is reset your "sleep" parameters on your computer. This seemed to have solved my problem.

  • IPod 80gb turns of by itself and won't turn on, iPod 80gb turns off by itself and won't turn on

    My iPod is acting a little weird lately. It completely turns of all by itself and won't turn on back again. It turns on only when I connect it to the PC. I taught it was the problem with the battery but, it happens even when it is fully charged. I was watching some videos right after I had it fully charged and all of a sudden it turned off. I tried turning it on but, it didn't work and I connected to my PC, the apple logo showed up slowly and started working as usual. Please help me to sort this out.

    Try a hard reset the next time this happens to see if that helps.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, you may want to consider restoring your iPod via iTunes to rule out software corruption.

  • AirPort turns off by itself and won't turn on without restart

    Hi
    I noticed that for a week or so, just few days prior to upgrade to Snow Leopard my (fully updated) MacBook Pro's wireless turns off for no apparent reason. When that happenes I cannot turn it on unless I restart the computer. I tried several solutions, from checking whether this is just an incompatibility issue with one of the applications I have, and non of the ones proved to cause the problem. I erased airport preferences, reset the PRAM, took the battery out and work on direct supply, but no change in behavior.
    Now, if anyone have any idea that might work I'll try some options before taking it to service center.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm getting this same problem on a 5 day old new MacBook pro 15". However I found the "airport" utility.
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resource s/airport
    You can turn on logging by using this command
    sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resourc es/airport debug +AllUserLand +AllDriver +AllVendor +LogFile
    Then any airport events will be logged. I happened to have a quick working and then failing error log after turning it on, and it turns out that the problem happens when the Airport receives a false power down message somehow. My network stopped working at 00:13:50

    Etc...
    What's interesting is Alarm Clock is working fine doing its normal thing, and then it gets the system will sleep message. So it sets a power event like it normally does (and this works fine usually when I close the lid and Airport comes back up) but this time I didn't close the lid.
    Also the last message of 00:13:35 says "System SafeSleep" so the OS is obviously sleeping
    It says that "Wake reason = EC LID0", which sounds like it thinks the Lid (screen) was lifted. And it also says "Previous Sleep Cause: 5".
    I wonder what 5 means?
    Does anyone else with this issue get similar logs?

  • My ipod turned off by itself and won't turn back on!

    It was charged and nothing happened to it. I tried holding down the home button but that didnt work. Please Help!!

    - Try charging it for at least and hour and the resetting it:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect it to a computer. After charging it for at least an hour see if you can restore it via iTunes.  If iTunes does not see the iPod try placing the iPod in recovery mode.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    If it still doe not show in iTunes try placing it in DFU mode and restoring it.

    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My razr m just stopped working turned off by itself and will not turn on

    my razr m just stopped working turned off by itself and will not turn on

    raamw,
    My wife has the exact same phone and I have the razr HD (basically the same, just larger screen etc).
    We have run into the same thing a few times, and as stated above by Callie I have found it is a dead battery issue. BUT unlike my previous phone (Droid incredible) that I could usually plug in, wait a few minutes, then at least turn on and use while plugged in, I have found for the M and mine it really took a bit to get it charged.  Kind of like as long as there is some battery you are ok, but once it dies it takes a bit of charging.
    ALSO - I am going to perhaps not use the right terms or words for this, but  I THINK (emphasize think) at least once it wasn't enough to use one of the lower amp chargers.  at least on mine.  tried to charge and charge and didn't seem to work.  Finally I took a charger that I normally need to use for my daughters tablet and use that then it had enough kick.  I will note I think that was the issue.
    regardless each time yes it took awhile before we could turn them on.  ALSO it seemed like it took a much longer time in holding the power button down.  BUT eventually they started up and we were good to go.
    we love our phones, she especially loves the size of the M.  BUT we have learned in the short 2-3 months we have had them, if possible, don't let the thing drain all the way.  just seems to cause a bit of a hastle

  • My iMac20 powers off by itself and won't switch back on

    I'm sorry this is a bit of a saga but I'm at the end of my tether with so will be really grateful if anyone has any experience of this issue and can give me some help?
    The problem started in May when, after an hour or so of use, my iMac 20 suddenly started to turn itself off and wouldn't turn back on again until the following day. This happened around half a dozen times so I took the machine to the local Apple store and was told that it was probably the thermal trip and if I removed the power cord and left it disconnected for a while, it would power up again more quickly. That evening when it cut out, I followed the advice I was given and removed the power cord from the back of the machine but it made no difference and the machine would not restart until the following morning. Back to the Apple store I went and this time they took the machine in to the workshop; a day or two later I was told that they had cleaned out the fans and tweaked some software and had run it successfully on the bench for several hours with no problem. After paying £49, I collected the machine, took it home, ran it for an hour or so and off it went again and as before, refused to turn on. Back again to the Apple store; "Had I reloaded the operating system?" Well no, because I hadn't been told that I needed to. And anyway why would I... surely the thermal cut-out was a hardware issue? The response was that the problem was definitely software-based and nothing to do with overheating or a faulty power supply unit (which was/is my favourite candidate for villain of the piece). So off home I went, backed up my stuff and ran Disc One successfully and started running Disc Two. After about 20 minutes into Disc Two the machine did its usual trick and powered off, and I went looking for a bottle of wine.
    Back to the Apple store. The guy controlling the 'guest list' for the Genius Bar said that if I wanted to return the machine to the workshop that day it would be considered a new incident and there would be a further charge for any repair work. However, if I made a fresh appointment (for a couple of days later) then the work would be done as part of the previous 'repair'. Somebody at Apple really needs to look at the way the stores deal with dissatisfied customers.
    So, Saturday the 11th of July arrives and I head back to the Genius Bar for my free appointment. I explained to a very helpful guy that this is my fifth visit and I would like to get to the bottom of the problem. He referred to the tech person who dealt with the original workshop repair and she came out to explain that the issue is caused by 'something' lurking in my Library folder and that if I wipe my hard drive and re-install the OS from scratch but without the Library folder, the problem should be solved.
    I spent Sunday wiping the hard drive, running the OS discs and then reinstating my iTunes, photos etc and waiting for the machine to turn itself off - but it didn't! I left my external hard drive returning all my files and documents overnight and when I woke up on Monday, everything was still up and running... bliss!
    Then, this afternoon, after downing loading a music file in flac format, I found that it wouldn't go into iTunes without the help of Fluke software. I downloaded the Fluke stuff and then as I dragged the flac file into iTunes - boof! The machine went off and won't switch back on again.
    So finally... has anyone seen any similar behaviour with their iMac and was it caused by software or hardware? And if it is software that's causing the problem, why can't I switch the machine on again immediately?
    ,

    Amsys plc, the company Apple uses for off-site repairs returned my iMac20 today and the accompanying advice note states that the fault was resolved by replacing the power supply unit. I am really grateful to Apple for finally getting to the bottom of the problem, particularly as the repair was done free of charge, although I had already paid £49 for a useless workshop investigation at the Kingston store. The service given by Amsys was exemplary... the collection and return of the machine was carried out at the times promised and whenever I contacted the company by phone, each person I spoke to seemed to have knowledge of the repair without having to refer to the case notes (and none of the 'press 1 for service, 2 for sales...' rubbish).
    So once again BDAqua, many thanks for suggesting I call Apple... it's just a shame that the staff of the Kingston store refused to accept what was obvious to me.

  • What do you do when your macbook turns off by itself and then wont turn back on?

    It's a macbook from 2010. Even if it is connected to a power source it shuts off.

    Try this:
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
