Charge iPhone with Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on Wall Charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

Similar problem. One minute iphone5 is working fine. a few minutes later, it's a brick. Won't turn on, won't charge. Nothing. Then several minutes later, after trying all the reset, restart options I'm aware of, the phone restarts itself and is fine. With a full charge. This has never happened before. Can I rely on this thing now, or are diagnostics in order?
