iPhone 4 will not turn on

Did you try a hard reset?

I had the same thing. Went to the Applestore...I have a DOA unit.

I had the same problem. Hold the power and home button until the apple comes up. Mine was longer than 10 seconds. I had no problems after that.

Same problem, Finally got the phone into recovery and i get Error 2006 and 2001 every time. no Iphone 4. and no 3g iphone. I am stuck with no phone till tomorrow!. Got to go stand in the long *** line tomorrow to get it fixed on release day.. So much for pre order!

That *****. Good luck.

Out of the thousands shipped, there have been reports here of maybe a few dozen bad units?

It's horrible if you're one of the affected ones, but defects happen at even the best factories. 😟

Well i got a dud as well iPhone 4 32gb dead will not turn on not happy.

I have been playing with my new iPhone 4 all evening. I've synched it, set it up, activated it, shot video, etc. I was uploading a video I'd created using iMovie to Facebook when my phone screen went black. It now will not respond no matter what I do. I have plugged it into the wall, into the computer and pressed every button (yes, I held them down). Nothing, no response. My battery was more than 1/2 full when it shut off, I had just checked on how much battery I had left and it was not warm to touch or anything unusual, just shut off for no reason and will not respond. Please update this thread to let me know what Apple help says, I am very curious and SCARED!!!! Yikes!!!

TEMPORARILY RESOLVED

Same issue. Toyed with it all night. Did a backup, etc. Slept.

When I woke up and tried any of the controls, boom, no response. Dead on the water.

Plugged it into the wall charger, nothing. Plugged it into the computer, nothing.

Found this thread and clicked on the Home+Power buttons. First reaction was it was asking for a Restore - I did not do that! I ejected the iPhone from iTunes and clicked the Home+Power button once more. Apple logo came up and it's back to normal. Checked the battery and it's at 76%.

I won't be surprised if it happens again.

I've had a similar problem this morning. I used it earlier and had about 70% battery, then about 30-40 minutes later went to use it and dead as can be and completely unresponsive to anything.

On a different thread regarding random dead iphones, they said to hold down the home button until the apple logo shows up. Worked like a charm, they also recommended keeping an app running the background like Facebook to possibly prevent it.

I'll keep the above solution and holding down home and sleep buttons in mind if the issue happens again though. Thank you to everyone posting solves!

Same issue here. Picked it up last night, synced, everything appeared great. Had it charging all night. Now this morning, the darn thing won't turn on. Held down home and start buttons, then it finally kicks in. A minute later after it's sleeping, won't turn on again!
