What do i do if my iphone just shuts down out of no where and wont turn back on or even charge?

ok so my iPhone 4s shut down out of no where about 38 minutes ago. I had just gotten off the phone and gotten into my car when I saw the black screen. I thought it just locked like it normally did, so I clicked the power button but nothing happened. then I held the power button longer, thinking it must be dead, but again nothing happened. So, I put it in the charger and again, nothing showed up. I had recently updated to the new IOS8 earlier this morning and found nothing wrong. everything was working perfectly fine until now. If anyone has suggestions or knows how to fix this, I'm up for advice.

Plug it in to a power outlet so it is sure to be powered, then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if tht appears.

You repeat yourself frequently frequently. Perhaps your iPhone is not charged.

My screen on my iPhone 4s is gone blank and wont turn back on. Even when i reset the phone it is just blank. I know the phone is on because when i change the switch on the side it vibrates.

Also before this the phone wasnt picking up any signal so it worked basically as an ipod.
How much would it cost to repair this problem?

Hello ozzy9294,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Best of luck,
Mario

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It looks like the logic board has failed, but first try a SMC reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If it does not work, take the MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. You will get the MacBook repaired for free

I would instead say you have a problem since nearly all IPs work as advertised. IF you do have a bad phone, take it into an Apple store and get a replacement. Hope you didn't jailbreak your phone though as Apple probably will tell you, you broke it, you fix it.

My iphone 4s was working fine then it just turned off and wont turn back on but my home button dosent work what do i do?

Apart from the battery being dead (make sure by plugging into a power source for 15 minutes), hold the sleep/wake button and home button together for 10 - 20 seconds or until the apple logo appears.

HT4623 my iphone just shut down and wont come back on

my iphone just shut down and wont come back on what could be the problem

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it my turn ON itself. If still OFF, then keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds time holding both buttons while on charger.

Hey Barry,
It really depends on the circumstances. If you haven't powered your phone off yourself for quite some time, sometimes kinks can just happen and this sounds like one of them. Every so often on mine I will have to use this method but it is in the very minority of occasions.

Try a reset ..
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My iphone has turned itself off and wont turn back on again, what do i do?

my iphone has turned itself off and wont turn back on again, what do i do?

tried that did nothing, but saw that if i hold both buttons it turned itself back on. thnak god! wonder why it did it though.

My iPad was working perfectly fine and then it just turned off and wont turn back on. it had around 60% battery what do i do?

i need some help. my iPad was working perfectly fine about 20mins ago and then it just turned off and wont turn back on. its was at about 60% when it stoped working so i have ruled out the fact that its dead. ive tryed turning it back on but it wont please help.

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up
EDIT - sorry TeeKnows. I was too slow on the draw. My apologies.

My iphone has water damage and it couldnt take anymore and turned off and wont turn back on. What do i do?

My iphone 4 has water damage and it has taken its toll and turned itself off and wont turn back on. I have tried everything, restoring, charging, restoring through itunes and taking it in for repair at an independant retailer. I really need my iphone so i was wondering where the best place to repair it is and if i can take it to apple, how much it would cost?

There is no such thing as an Apple authorized repair facility or technician. Since Apple replaces iOS devices and does not repair them in-house, they've never offered any iOS device repair training or certification. Likewise, there is no system of distribution of OEM parts, since there are no authorized repair centers to use them. Any parts are used, 3rd party recycled or outright stolen/black market.
So, anywhere you take it other than Apple is a situation of you pay your money and you take your chances (and you have no one to turn to if it fails, other then the person or place that failed to fix it for you).
Your optimal option would be to take it to Apple, pay the out of warranty repair fee and swap it for a fully factory refurbished unit (which will have a new screen, new battery and a min. 90 day warranty).
However, if it has been taken apart by someone else already for past private repair attempts, then Apple will not allow an out of warranty replacement.
The out of warranty replacement fees are available for each country under the iPhone support links, e.g. in the USA - http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne

My iphone shuts down and wont turn back on. any help please

my iphone shuts down by itself and wont turn back on, what should i do?

If you didn't see anything at all your phone has defective hardware. Connect to the charger again, and while connected hold both buttons. If the phone comes back on, but goes off when you disconnect the charger, you have a bad battery. If it doesn't come on at all you have a hardware failure of the phone. If you see any instructions on the screen, such as an image of a phone connecting to iTunes, follow them; your phone may need to be restored.
