i already tried holding the power button and the home button for 20 seconds, recharging it for a day, letting it cool off, hooking it up to a computer, and still nothing
I had this problem, too. I left my iPhone in the car for an hour and it got too hot. Got the yellow triangle on my screen warning that the temperature was too high. The phone was dead. So, I let the phone cool down for a couple of hours, then I plugged it into my MacBook Pro and held down the iPhone's power button and home button together for 20 seconds, and fixed the problem. Hooray!
Did you try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article?
what happened to me was i left my iphone on top of my car's dashboard... it was turned off when i turned it on, there was a mesage saying something about too hot or high temperature... i placed it in front of the A/C vent and after an hour, it turned on.
Try this , put it in the freezer for couple of minutes around 25 minutes until the whole body gets really cold and then charge it until something pops in the screen .
If it doesn't turn on after 10min being charge, turn it on by pressing hold on the power botton .
if it doesn't turn on , keep it charged and press down the home botton and the power botton together until it turns on .
If it doesn't work , keep trying , you have nothing to lose .
My phone died suddenly while it was on 90% battery when I was in a hot country for vacation and I did this and it work just fine after . I freezed it and charged it . The body and interior has probably gone through over heat since iphone is made of metal and because it is a electronic device.

I had this problem too! What I did was let my ipod cool down for a good 20-30 minutes.I kept it on the charger for a while than everything was back yo normal!
=D
I don't care this post is over 5 years old. It applied to me. However I might have 2 problems. I have an iPhone 7 which my son told me is waterproof (should have checked and verified it was only water resistant). I had it notify me a few days ago it was too hot and shut down. I was able to recharge it. However I have taken it into the pool, ocean, etc for 5 days and today combination of water and sun may have killed it. Won't charge at all. Hoping letting it cool down for a few days might solve the problem, hoping it is not the water damage.
That was nice, but the original post you replied to is over 5 years old now.
I had the same problem in February 2017. The phone was on but it would not turn off. It felt hot and so I put it in the fridge overnight and in the morning it worked fine.
If you have had your phone in a swimming pool and in the ocean off and on over 5 days, then your phone is damaged beyond repair. Time to get an out of warranty replacement.
i left my iphone in the sun by accident when i went to the beach yesterday. when i tried to turn it on the apple logo appeared then it dissolved and hasn't turned on since. im freaking out! help!?
