Won't power on, or charge

Blank screen, no response to a/c charger (battery meter) & won't power on, can't sync with pc or use at all

Have you tried a reset?
Hold the MENU and SELECT (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset.
Cheers!

My kid just got an iPod 5th gen (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line and lightning symbol. No other response at all.

Sorry about the long title.....its my first post.
My kid just got a brand new iPod 5th generation (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line on left and lightning symbol below. There is no other response at all no matter what I do, including holding both buttons down for extended period. My other kid got one and it works perfectly.....I have interchanged usb cables ports etc. but still no response....I would really appreciate any help.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem with the iPod. This is because as you said the same cable works with another iPod.

Q5 won't power up or charge

Hello - my phone won't turn on or charge. It also won't do anything when I hold the volume buttons for 20 seconds or hold the power button. I cannot access the battery in the Q5. Very frustrated. I just had the screen replaced 2 weeks ago - it has worked fine until now. Help would be appreciated.

Reload Device Software. If that doesn't help im afraid it's a hardware issue's take it back to the carrier..

My iPod won't power up or charge

My iPod touch won't charge or power up. I haven't used it in a couple of years or so, I have no idea what OS it is using or seriel number of anything.
It was given to me by the company I work for to do some demo a product, once that program ended almost 2 years ago I never used it again. I can't find the Apple USB plug I tried using another USB charging device that I use to charge my Android phones, nothing even over night, I've tried plugging it into my PC still nothing. I have tried the "reset" (sleep/wake button and home button together held it down for more than 10 seconds still nothing

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.

My Iphone 4s got so hot I couldn't touch it a few days ago, and now it has powered off and I can't get it to charge or power on, help??

This is sounding like something that would be best addressed by an Apple technician. You can take it to an Apple Store if you have one near you or contact Apple at the appropriate phone number from this list.

Hey noahkesevie!
I have an article for you that can help you further troubleshoot the issue you are seeing. The article is about troubleshooting a multitude of hardware issues on the iPhone, and can be found right here:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
You will want to pay special attention to this section:
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 LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 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.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Why won't my iPod won't power up?

I have either the original ipod or ipod2 and it worked fine until just a week or so ago. Now, it won't power up or charge. It's 8 years old.

It's 8 years old.
Given that age, it's likely that the battery is completely shot at this point. You can have it replaced still by any number of third party services. You can also purchase a replacement battery and swap it out yourself if you'd like.

HT4528 My phone was charging and now it won't power on. Any suggestions?

I was charging my phone last night and was at 79% before I went to bed. This morning the screen is black. It won't power on. I also connected it with my laptop that has itunes and it was not found. Has anyone had this problem? How do you fix it?

I found other posts that recommended holding the on/off power button and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears and disappears. Then you can power the phone on. This worked for me!

I have an ipad mini that won't power on. It was turned off to charge overnight. In the morning it was warm and now won't turn on no matter what I do. I've tried resetting using the power / home button combination and nothing works.

If you have owned the device, as in purchased from Apple, less than a year then there will be no charge to repair, or most likely, replace the device. If you have had the device more than a year you will be charged an out of warranty cost for replacement ($219 I think) and that is much cheaper than a new device. If you have Applecare+ then you have an additional year of coverage and the replacement will be $49 or $79 depending on when you got the Applecare.

T4i won't power up; tried 2 fully charged batteries and 2 sd cards

My Rebel t4i seems to have died after uploading photos yesterday. Tried 2 fully charged batteries and 2 cards. Checked the connections and it seems weird that the camera won't power on immediately after uploading photos.

The camera has a few power interlocks which will prevent the camera from powering up. One is on the battery door. One is on the SD card slot door. There may also be one that detects if the memory card is fully seated.
Can you remove and *carefully* re-insert the memory card to make sure it's fully seated and in the correct orientation. (label faces the back of the camera) and make sure the memory card slot door is able to close completely. Also make sure the battery door is able to close completely.
Also make sure the doors are not damaged in any way (typically the doors have a tiny tab which engages a micro-switch.)

HT1438 my iphone 4 just won't power up, it was half battery when it shut down, have tried charging or connect with my MacBook still nothing happen?

my iphone 4 just won't power up, it had half battery when it power off, tried connecting to my Macbook still nothing happen, what's the reason?

Try holding both the on and off buttons(top and bottom of phone) at the same time and keep holding until the apple sign comes up then let go and wait, worth a try.
