Q: Iphone 4 Turned off and wont turn on

what if my home/sleep button is broken? how can i do it?? thanks

I did connect charge it still don't work

Just so you know, This occurred with our iphone today. Found this forum, tried the ol' two button for 10 sec trick and it worked.

Noting your date of entry as 2011, I would suggest this is definitely a hardware problem (I suspect it's a [chip] design flaw or similar). I'm sure the apple tech's would know what causes it, and at most times is controlled or circumvented by the OS. I would further suggest that this problem is triggered by apps or by newer OS's. Best of luck to us all, should the phones decide to go on an extended Holiday.

I've tried that and it still won't turn on. The phone's charging and if someone rings me it still rings but there's no sounds, light, vibrations out of the phone at all?

i'm having the same problem, with a more tricky twist; My home button is faulty. It's fine with touch assist, but I'm sure where you can see where this is going in this scenario. It won't turn on and I can't try the reset fix. Any ideas?

Hello guys I have a question , my Iphone 4 S suddenly died ... I know i can do the reset mode by pushing the home - and start button together BUT my start button isn't working since long ! I've also tried to put it in the charger for 2 hrs now but still no response ... its also NOT connecting with my PC... Can somebody please help me ? Don't know what to do ..

My iPhone 4 still isn't working. I have connected it to a pc and through wall electric and tried the pushing home and sleep button together for up to 1 minute but still no results.

Thank you! This worked for me!

thank you very much...it worked. You saved my life man

thank you sooooo much. this was the only thing that worked for me. my phone crashes a lot and stops turning on and i usually have to wait like 2 days till it works again but this worked and i found useful. thank you again.

The same thing happened to me i got on my school bus and was on it texting and everything so i put it in my pocket because we cant have phones out so i waited and i went into my classroom to see if my mom texted me and i pressed the home button and it didnt turn on and i know my battery was on 100% i trued everything and it didnt work at all i thought i was going to have to buy another one but i wouldnt want to . Anybody hace suggestions on how it might work again  

technically the same thing happened to me, i had my iPhone 4s i had just finished charging it so i in my pocket  when my younger brother jumped on me and i laid back on it (on the couch) and now it wont turn and the worst part is my home button is broken. ive tried almost everything the home+sleep/wake button trick, plugging it into a wall plug and a computer, i even reset it but of course it cant find the internet is there anything i can possibly  do besides get it fixed (i know i have to).plz respond anyone

i now im mostly likely posting this in the wrong place but my iphone turned on and i erased it (stupid me)and now i cant get past the sim verification what should i do?
