Try a Forced Restart on the phone. Follow the instructions very carefully, as this is a bit tricky. You may need to repeat this several times.

There are 2 possible results when you perform a Forced Restart:


1) The phone returns to normal operation


or if it doesn't......


2) There is a hardware problem with the phone that will need attention at the Apple Store (make an appointment) or at an authorized Apple Service shop. Use the link below to find authorized service in your area.
