Dec 26, 2013 7:41 PM in response to myiphoneisgoldenby Randito3,I have had my iPhone 5 for a year. The top and home buttons work when they want. Tonight I sent a text and right after my iPhone went black. Still had 90% battery. I tried the top and home button as I would normally do for a reset but nothing happened. After several attempts I decided to do a search and found this thread.
I tried RJMs way and the Apple logo comes up but then fades away and does nothing. Tried several times and same result. I have had every iPhone up til this iPhone 5 and never had issues. Apples quality is taking a hit.

Jan 1, 2014 7:51 AM in response to myiphoneisgoldenby Nicko-Euro,Well, my gadget, that is iPhone 5S suddenly stopped responding on the 1st of January 2014. At first I was pretty much frightened because of the data inside.. Then just googling I found this forum and read that 10 seconds both HOME and SlEEP buttons could help. And indeed it helped to start my iphone from the blank screen.!

Jan 8, 2014 11:40 AM in response to myiphoneisgoldenby Acorns94,Life saver- just had i5 die for the first time today, so reset was invaluable. Few hours of panic at absolute reliance on it for basic passwords, numbers etc. Off to apple shop tomorrow to grill them.

Jan 14, 2014 12:15 PM in response to RJMby KLev-DC,Just happened to me. Working and then all of a sudden, nothing. Tried the trick of toggling the silent switch twice, and then holding down the sleep and home buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds, and it rebotted. Really scary.

Jan 21, 2014 5:30 PM in response to loonysebecby Lawrence Finch,Charge it for 15 minutes with the wall adapter. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears, or 30 seconds has past. If nothing at all has happened after 30 seconds your phone has a hardware failure.

Jan 21, 2014 6:51 PM in response to mbidisby jdblack,As crazy as it sounds you might try toggling the "silence" switch a few times before two button re-boot. There are mixed opinions on this but if it works you dont care about crazy you just want a fix.
