Power On Issue
Hi my phone randomly won't turn on. Has not been dropped or damaged just will not power on despite being plugged into the charger all night. Any ideas?

Hi Jonahtr,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue with your iPhone powering on. We'd like to help.
You mentioned that this happens randomly. How do you finally get it to turn on? Are you powering it off manually or does it also do that on its own. If it does it on its own, do you see an Apple logo or spinning gear.
In the meantime, let's have you check out some of these steps to see if it helps:
If your screen is black or frozen
On your iPhone 8 or later, including iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation)
1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
3. Press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
4. If your phone doesn't turn on, follow these steps to check your hardware and charge your phone. You might need to charge for up to an hour.
5. If your phone still doesn't turn on, contact Apple Support.
Hope that helps.
Take care!
