iPhone keeps turning off, showing shutdown screen

My iPhone SE keeps randomly showing the power off screen. When I cancel, it shows the lock screen and my fingerprint isn’t recognized. When I do shut it down, the Apple logo flashes about every 5-15 seconds and won’t stop until I connect to a charger, so I can’t reboot my iPhone either. When I touch the power button, nothing happens, but I think it’s connected to the problem.

iPhone SE, iOS 13

  • You still see a black screen after charging, force restarting, following the steps in this article.
  • You see a black screen, but you can hear alerts, sounds, and vibrations.
  • The screen remains black, but the device chirps when you unmute it and connect it to power.
  • Your screen is on, but it doesn't respond when you tap, slide, or try other gestures. 
  • You can't force your device to restart because a button is broken or stuck.
  • Your device is stuck on the Apple logo, displays a solid color, or isn't recognized in iTunes.

Contact Apple Support to set up service if you have any of the above issues:

The button is completely unresponsive, but it seems minutes after I press it, the problem occurs. The device also sometimes vibrates for no reason. My screen responds to touch just fine.. I can’t restart my device because my device refuses to stay shut down, but also refuses to start up until I connect to a charger. Until then it alternates between the logo and blackness.
