My iPhone 5 isn't powering on. What's wrong with this?
My iPhone 5 was just recently updated to iOS 7 and I spent a lot of hours playing and doing stuff on it but it has just recently run into trouble. Here's what happened:
Last night, at the dead of night at about 2 AM, I woke up to find my iPhone 5 discharged from it's battery (showing a black screen with an empty battery logo with a couple of red stripes), I decided to ignore it and charge it in the morning when I woke up. To my surprise, the iPhone wouldn't charge anymore. For the purpose of readability, these are the things I have tried doing to bring my iPhone back to life:
1. Tried charging with 3 different lightning cables (two original, one 3rd party), used two different wall AC adapters, three different computers (USB) and even tried a power bank.
2. I tried hard-resetting it (hold both the power-button and the home-button for more than 20+ seconds)
3. I tried putting it into both Restore mode and DFU mode in the hopes of maybe restoring it to stock iOS again.
4. I tried leaving it charging through the AC and USB port for more than 30 minutes.
None of these have worked as my iPhone is still "dead" as nothing shows up on screen, it is NOT recognizable on iTunes (nothing shows up as connected) or my PC for that matter.
I need help. I tried sending my iPhone over to the Apple Store here in the Philippines but they refuse to receive it or do anything about it because this was purchased in Singapore as a gift for me. I also cannot send this to Singapore as we just do not have the budget for it and my warranty ends in exactly 58 days from now. I couldn't contact the Apple hotline as they asked me to get a "single incident of something" and I can't afford 19 dollars. What could be wrong with my iPhone 5? Any solutions? Any help would be very much appreciated as I am desperate.
I'm hoping for some solutions or advice, thank you so much. 😢
