My Iphone5 has a black screen and won't turn on

Worked, Thank you very much.

It worked.. Thanks a lot

iPhone 📱 5 is not rest

Here is How To Fix iPhone freezing

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.

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.

I had the same problem with my screen going black, i tried multiple tips i read on here and none of them seemed to work. I went into icloud find my iphone and erased it and then restored it on itunes and then retrieved all data from a back up. This worked for me!!

I shattered my screen. It worked fine but the glass was cutting me, so I took it in (to a non-apple affiliated dealer), and had the screen replaced, after which it had the same problem you've described. First it wouldn't go past a black screen, then (when I tried the DFU reset instructions), it wouldn't go past the apple logo, except to turn the entire screen red before going back to a black screen.

I took it back to the shop who had fitted my screen, and asked them to test my old (shattered) screen which worked fine. It turns out it was the replacement screen they used. They tried a different one, and that one is turning on without problems. So that could be another possibility, in case it helps anyone.

well here's my issue...

I got a replacement iphone 5 against my earlier one (which had some battery and yellow spot on the screen issue) in the month of may'15..

it's not even 6 months and the "new" phone came up with newer problems..

firstly, the screen was becoming unresponsive and turning grey...

however it came back to it's senses on its own within some seconds...

now, the phone has gone black completely and is not responding at all..

I did pressed the home and power button as instructed in the earlier posts, but nothing has happened till date...

when connecting to the PC, iTunes was getting activated which means the phone was "working", however I couldn't do anything except restoring as passcode of the phone was being asked..

while charging also, the phone kept humming as it was in the vibration mode but nothing has happened after that...

is there a issue with the display? or there's any other h/w fault?

experts, kindly help..

my iphone stuck a while ago and i panic. i dont know what to do in the same time im afraid that my dad will scold me because i didnt take a good care of it.so i decided to google it after trying to charge and connect it to my laptop.and found this useful tips.it was so helpful thank you so much.wi9ll use it again if my phone screen turn black.

This isn't working. How would I allow access on my iPhone when the screen isn't working? It says on both the Restore and Update service to allow the computer to access my iPhone midway through the thing.

THANK YOU! The recovery mode was a god send. That totally did it. To anyone else out there experiencing this issue, I have an iphone 5. I updated it to around ios 9. The battery life had just been depleting itself after a short use (like 1 day with no heavy usage). One day when I was just listening after a full charge (unplugged) the phone just shut down and would not turn on.

I would plug in my phone to the wall and leave it there for about 2 days straight and all it would have is that low battery icon symbol when plugged in. It just wouldn't turn on.

Yertu's solution helped. I did not know there was a recovery mode. I did what he said above

I tried just plugging my phone via usb to my computer and it would not connect to itunes or power on. When you plug in your phone to your computer (with itunes) and right before you plug in, you hold the home button, it'll show the itunes connect insignia on your pone. On itunes it'll ask for some recovery mode. I'm going through this right now as I speak.

I'm guessing it'll wipe the data from my phone, but at least this saves me from bricking the entire device.

Thanks for posting this Yertu! You are the man (or woman)!!! lol @yertu

Ah actually, we'll see if it does work. My previous post still stands. It finished updating from my computer, however, it is still not turning on.http://www.howtogeek.com/216839/what-to-do-when-your-iphone-or-ipad-won%E2%80%99 t-turn-on/

I went through the recovery protocol like in the link above...though it is still acting like my previous post

It's plugged in via usb, but it still won't turn on

So to whoever is out there, this is as far as I got. Looks like my phone is bricked... :/

I had this problem as well. Screen was black, the only thing I could get to work was Siri. Tried getting Siri to open an app for me and it didn't work. Tried anstar1's solution (hold power button down for 3 seconds then both power and home together for 10, without ever letting go of the power button) and it worked perfectly! Thanks.
