Verizon iPhone 4 dead, won't turn on

Question

Verizon iPhone 4 dead, won't turn on

Hi everyone,

About 20-30 minutes ago, my phone was working. Then it just stopped work and now won't turn on. It is not repsonsive to the home button or the lock button. I have pluged it in to charge to see if it would turn on, but nothing. I currently have it plugged into my computer, but again nothing. I got my phone back at the end of March.

The last thing I did was use the twitter app and then took a picture. I texted that picture to two people.

Any help is appricated. I plan on going to the apple store tonight.

Shane

If you have already charged it for at least 30 minutes hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds to reboot the phone.

Thank you! That did the trick. I have no idea why it died like that, oh well.

Thanks again!

It crashed. You have to think of it not as a phone, but as a computer that can make calls. On a Mac you would call it a kernel panic, on Windows a Blue Screen of Death.
