I dropped mine 15cm off the floor. and it wouldn't turn on.

but I pushed the lock & home button until something happened.

now it works as nothing ever happened, very weird.

Thank you TASERAQ!!!!!!

I dropped my iphone4s today and nothing I did would turn it back on. You just need to hold the lock and home button at the same time for about 10-15 seconds and it will turn back on!!! Thank you so much!!!

You can't "purchase" the warranty. It is a limited warranty for the Apple device/computer that comes with the device/computer. You can purchase AppleCare up to 60 days after your purchase. However, that is subject to the device being inspected, and if it is not working as it should, you won't be able to purchase AppleCare.

Thank you so much! I thought I would have to pay $500 for a new one but holding the home+lock button for 15 seconds was a much cheaper option! 😉

I am so glad to find this answer. Pressed the Home and Lock buttons together and it turned on again. THANKYOU for posting!

Take it in to have it looked at. You have tried what can be tried, and it isn't working.

Cheers,

I also dropped my phone this morning and was in a complete panic - I researched a solution on my iPad. Taseraq's solution is brilliant. It worked perfectly and everything is back to normal. Thank you for the fantastic advice I.e. Hold down the on off button and the home button together for 20-30 seconds and the phone comes to life. A techno miracle!

Did you try contacting apple care? You probably still have warranty for the phone, and if you didnt, try to purchase it.. Of course the guy will say no more phone, so you buy another from him!

I dropped my phone a few hours ago and this has happened, i can hear my messages coming through and i can phone my phone, but i cant us the screen at all and ive tried everything and it doesnt seem to work, is there any other ways of fixing it, without paying?

I also drop my iphone 5 and now it doesn't turn on. When I plug it in, the apple logo pops on and off. I tried to press both the home and reset button but nothing worked. Anybody has the same problem???
