I have come to use my iPhone 4 (in storage for 1 year) and when I plug in the power cable it just keeps flashing on/off in 5 second intervals. I’ve looked online as how to fix the issue but nothing works. I don’t have a pc to connect to iTunes to do a restore. Can anyone help. Thnx.

Hi
First thing to try is a forced restart:
* press and quickly release the Volume Up button.
* Press and quickly release the Volume Down button.
* Then press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo. (KEEP it pressed until the apple Logo appears)
If that doesn't clear it, see:

But for that you will need a mac or PC. You will either have to find someone who will let you use theirs, or take the phone to a repair shop and ask them to do the reset for you.
Alternatively if you can't do that, the most likely cause (but not guaranteed) of the problem is a worn out battery, especially if left discharged in storage. You could just try having the battery replaced. But then if you were doing that, you could just ask the repair facility to try the restore first.
Tied the force restart no joy. I’ll get a repair store to take a look at it. Thnx anyway.
