I had the same issue this night. Kept me up all night trying to fix it. I have an iPhone 5S.

Suddenly my screen turned black.

I could still hear sounds from my phone.

I spent all night trying to fix it all the while my girlfriend tried to contact me on messenger which I was not able to answer, which made her worried as ****.

Then my battery ran out and phone would not charge.

Spent all night trying to fix the problem.

I finally manager to fix it through brute force (I hit my phone in the back repeatedly while charger was plugged in.

Finally it would turn on.)

I was facing the same problem. After some research, I found some good news for all of us. It seems Apple has identified this as manufacuring problem and introduced a replacement program for us. Here is the site for more detail: https://ssl.apple.com/support/iphone5-sleepwakebutton/

I had exactly the same problem about 3 hours ago. Here is the way I resolved the problem (by entering DFU Mode):

1. Hold the Power button for 3 seconds
2. Hold the Home button without releasing the Power button for 10 seconds
3. Then the Apple Logo appears, and everything works as usual

Hello marissamadeline,

Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5. I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not powering on. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below:

Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off

1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
2. Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
3. Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
4. After at least 30 minutes, if:
   • The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
   • The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
   • Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
5. If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
   • If the display turns on, go to step 4.
   • If the display remains black, go to next step.
6. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
7. If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Contact Apple Support.

I was experiencing the same issue and serching for an answer but this helped me.!!

If you can't update or restore your iOS device

You can use recovery mode if you can't update or restore your iOS device.

You might need to use recovery mode if:

• You can't update or restore because iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's "in recovery mode".
• The Apple logo remains onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
• The Connect to iTunes screen appears.

See what to do if the progress bar remains onscreen for several minutes

Use recovery mode

Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.

1. Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
2. Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
3. Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
4. When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.

My iphone 5c screen wont turn on, i already tried clicking both the home & lock bottom together until the apple logo turns on. i can see my screen for about 2 seconds and then my screen goes completely black again. Help Please

Something similar happened to me! I wanted to update my phone so I did, next time I look at my phone its completely black. I press the sleep button and the home button at the same time and separetly, I try charging my phone for 20 minutes and nothing happens! I am currently on itunes, restarting my phone! I hope it works and all my data isnt erased! does anyone know what happened exaclty?

my iphone has done exactly the same since last night it has a black screen its plugged in so making sounds every 5 seconds and i have just restored it by the computer and it still hasnt turned on anything else i can do???

Since I had school the next day, before I went to bed, I started to charge my phone because it was almost dead.

In the morning, i went to my phone and since it wasn't actually off, i presssed the on button to wake it up. Nothing happened.

I kept it in the charger until i was ready for school, Still nothing.

How would I solve this problem?

what do i do if iTunes says "to allow access please respond on your iPhone"? I can't respond because the screen is black!

Nevermind, this post by yertu answered my question!!! 🙂

You could save a substantial sum of money at a reputable non-affiliated repair shop. However, be forewarned of possible issues in the future. Certainly, if the work done by the non-affiliated shop causes a problem, Apple correctly will not fix it. However, there are some Apple fanatics that wildly claim that merely opening the device will cause Apple to refuse ALL future service, in or out of warranty.

Make your own decision. The following will lead you to the appropriate Apple documentation:

http://www.apple.com/support/service/

Select “iPhone”

http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne

Select “Learn more about service coverage”

http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne&select=WARRANTY__PRICING

Under Out-of-warranty repair service, select “Read Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions”

http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/terms/repair/

Select “General Terms”

http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/terms/repair/

Select “English”

http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/terms/repair/generalservice/serviceterm sen/

Scroll down to section 1.10.6

1.10.6 Disclosure of Unauthorized Modifications. During the service ordering process, you must notify Apple of any unauthorized modifications, or any repairs or replacements not performed by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (“AASP”), that have been made to your product. Apple will not be responsible for any damage to the product that occurs during the repair process that is a result of any unauthorized modifications or repairs or replacements not performed by Apple or an AASP. If damage results, Apple will seek your authorization for any additional costs for completing service even if the product is covered by warranty or an AppleCare service plan. If you decline authorization, Apple may return your product unrepaired in the damaged condition without any responsibility.

1. Hold the Power button for 3 seconds.
2. Hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds.
3. Release the Power button but keep holding the Home button.
4. After about 15 seconds you will be alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode.

You are the best! Thank you so much for posting this. I was so upset.....

I've had non-stop issues with my iPhone 5 since getting it last year. It *****. The customer support has been terrible. They have put me on hold for hours with a newborn....then they agreed to have someone call me back, and it's been months - no call back. The people in store are awful to deal with. I called the store because the genius bar appointment booking site was down and the rude woman who answered hung up on me.

#endrant

Switching to BlackBerry next week now that I've caught wind of their promo for iPhone users.

Thank you so much!!!!! You saved me from thinking I had to go out and buy a new phone!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. That made my MONTH because I really couldn't afford to replace it and I need it for work.
