If the phone is that dead and shows the battery symbol, it will need to be plugged in for about 30 minutes before it will show any sign of life. It should start on its own after that, but after 30 minutes, you can try a reset, but holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Are you trying to charge via a USB on the computer or with the mains charger?

Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!

02 days and m without my phone

My phone showed battery low sign when 10% was remaining. I put my phone on charging, it was showing charging sign and for a few minutes it showed USB sign ISO charging signal but very strange it was not actually charging as the battery was still running out. In few minutes my battery went to 1% and then my phone switched off and did not come back to life after that.

I tried Hard reset/ several different chargers/ restoring from I tunes but there is no response.


All it shows is a battery low sign and when I put it on charging, it only shows charging signal but do not actually charge as there is no change in the battery status. It shows the same red bar.....


Please help
