My iPhone 5 will not turn on

Thanks this helped as well, all I did was long press the home button and the power button. at first it didn't work, I let go of the phone and gave up but the apple logo came on and I was really excited and happy. *it was brand new and i only had it for 1-2 days.i didn't use it much*🙂

Mine was a little different. I was on a road trip and the maps app was having a hard time finding me (fortunately I knew the route well enough that it wasn't a major concern). I first closed all my idle apps, and the phone froze for just a few seconds. I decided I needed to restart my phone, so I held the power button and nothing happened. I tried it again three or four more times and the screen went blank. Nothing I tried could get it to do anything. I knew it had just over 50% battery, so charge wasn't a concern; but I tried plugging it in anyway and it vibrated just like it normally would. I then went to bed with it charging.

This morning I played with it again, I noticed that the mute switch also made it vibrate, but nothing else did anything. I even plugged it into iTunes, but my computer came back with an error.

I looked on this forum and found the idea to hold both the power button and the middle button, that worked. I'm happy to have my phone back, but I'm not really convinced that this will never happen again...with 7 pages of posts I hope apple takes a serious look at the problem.

Having to do a reset occasionally is not really anything out of the ordinary. Sometimes things just get jammed up and just need to be cleared out, so the reset process does just that - like a reboot of a computer.

Unless your device begins to have continuous problems, it's really not anything to worry about.

There is really nothing to fix. There are 7 pages of posts because, as I indicated, it is not uncommon. Not any more uncommon than needing to do a reboot on a computer.

Best of luck,

TThanks man. Hard reset did all. thanks

thank u sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much🙂

Thank you for this tip, it saved my precious iPhone..thank you very much..

I have a black iPhone 5 it has been on charge for over 24 hours as I write the post I have hard reset a couple of times and now I don't know what to do?? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You!

Did you hold the Home and Power buttons down at the same time until the Apple appeared? This can take up to 30 seconds, so keep them both held down long enough.

Cheers,

I Had this problem this morning. I followed the helpful on this's forum and held down the lock keys do central button fortunately it bounced back into life and I see that the phone is fully charged, looks like a software glitch, and I hope Apple pick this up and rectify it.

Had same problem this morning. Followed suggestions on this Forum and phone bounced back into life. Must be a software glitch as phone was fully charged. Hope Apple pick this glitch up and rectify it.

Again, sometimes a reset is needed on an iOS device. It's a computer. The ones and zeros get messed up. They need to be reset. Just like rebooting a laptop. Unless it happens on a regular basis, nothing to be alarmed at and not a glitch....

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....very helpful:)

Thank you it worked for me. I pressed both buttons down and it worked. I was almost going to purchase a new iPhone. Thanks so much.

get a hair dryer and blowdry the back of your phone until it is hot to touch the immediately plug it in the charger..
