Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My iphone 5 suddenly died. It will not turn on when I plug it in. It was working well the night before and nothing happened to it over night. The battery was charged.
iPhone 5, iOS 6.1

Thanks Lawrence. Mine just died and your solution worked.
my iPhone 5 has suddenly died, the battery is charged but it won't turn on or do anything, it was ok last night.
Worked by pressing sleep & touch ID for 20 seconds.
Correct - the Home and Power button as stated above your post 🙂

THIS WORKED ***.
BUT WHY DID IT TURN OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE. THANK YOU
It happens? It's a computer? Sometimes they just need to be rebooted. Nothing to be alarmed at if it only happens infrequently.
