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

When the iPhone 4 doesn´t turn on, even after trying resetting, Hold power+home, charging long periods, and still nothing....... you have to do a simple procedure....1st: check your warranty status. 2nd, get tools from iFIXit o any hardware store, a screwdriver more specifically talking.....One that fits exactly on the 2 little screws the iphone 4 has on the lower bottom, near the speaker and the mics. Once you unscrew these, slice the back upwards, and take iit out. Identify de battery connector, unscrew the screw it has. And gently, lift the silver conector up, towards to your face. Wait a couple seconds.....Re screw everything and put the iphone to charge. Thats it! it will start....

hope it helps

thanx alot dear.. its works now

OMG - thank-you ... seriously!  I tried EVERYTHING (reset buttons, plugging in for iTunes, different plugs, banging it on the table) and it would not come on.  I followed your directions by unscrewing the back and lifting up the silver plate a little bit and VOILA... and it worked!  It came on and I was able to restore my phone. ROCK STAR!!  Thanks again

Thank you 98Blue Wave - I went from panic to sigh of relief.  Tomorrow I go on an all day away from my kid event and I thought what a terrible time to lose access to phone but now I can go and enjoy because of your help!  THANK YOU!!!

Oh help! I have an iPhone 4 which suddenly went dead, was fairly nearly flat at the time, no apple icon, holding the two buttons ( home and lock for ages)  and also plugging in by USB to computer to try and get iTunes.... No signs of life at all. Please does anyone have any further suggestions ... I'm stuck ! Its is just a dead black device..Really grateful for any thoughts

Plug your iPhone during 10 min and them press Home Button & Startup Button at same time (iPhone must be pluged)
