Hey there JLittlewolf,


If you're unable to get your iPhone to power on normally, try force restarting first:


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.
4. When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.

Should this persist, Contact Apple Support for next steps.


Take care!
