My iPhone 5s won't turn on or charge

Thank you Jim!

I know this post is already over 3years and a half old, but I still have my IPhone 5S and is still working until now. Was going to temper with it but i wanted to show how great it was - still in good condition (no scratches or smashes) and un-tampered with. Bought from pre-order and still working today

Thanks Jim!

Have you tried resetting your iPhone?

Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

No data will be lost.

If the battery was completely drained it may take a little while before the iPhone responds. Plug it into the charger that came with it and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Wait one hour. Then reset your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.

If the phone restarts continue to charge the phone until it is at 100%.

If it will not restart Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Thank god i bothered to Google this up and found these posts...

Almost on the verge of tears with my iphone 5s (2 weeks old) not turning on or charging. i tried the above suggestion of holding all the buttons and it worked!!!!! 🙂 All my stuff is still on too....

dont know why it happened and hope it doesnt again...

Thank you so much for sharing this fixed my problem! 🙂

1000 thanks.

Phone was black this am. was able to reset with your advise here and it worked. Thanks.

I'm having the same problem, and none of the fixes are working, not even factory reset. Sounds like this is not uncommon with 5s. I enjoyed the 2 weeks I had with my iPhone. I won't be getting another one.

Thank you thank you the reset has worked , I'm guessing this must be a common problem as I've only had my 5s a week after I dunked my 5 in a bowl of water and it died!

I'm so glad I read all these posts. Does anyone know if Apple are doing anything about this? I've had my 5s for about 2 months and this has happened continuously since.

I had this problem last night, the battery ran down to 0% without me realising so it shut down. I plugged it in to the charger I always use (an iHome alarm clock with lightning to 30 pin adapter) the low battery image flashed up so I left it for about 3 hours, but it still wouldn't turn on after that time.

I then panicked and plug it in to the charger it came with, the low battery image came back on and within about 5 mins it restared on its own as if nothing had happened.

If this happens to you, try a different charger that's all it took for me.

Thank you so much for sharing this fixed my problem! 🙂.............it was just like u make my ph alive😝

The turning it on an off thing worked! Thank you JimHdk! You just saved me a day of crying of travelling 50 miles to my nearest apple store!

Thanks JimHdk Its works for me... I was so tens when I saw $279 just tech fees... Thanks again you solve my problem and day...

My iPhone 5s got hung up for some time. I tried to turn off but it did not respond. Then after a few seconds my iPhone went blank. Tried to put it on, no response again.

Then went through your post and others' as well, then I guessed my battery should have gone dry. So I connected it to the charger and kept on checking if it is switching on, after 10-15 mins the apple logo came on, I began to breathe normally!!!

It was the battery which got drained which I probably failed to notice.

Very glad my 5s is back alive and working. Thank you for the post guys.

Can anyone help me?

ive had my iPhone 5s for at least a month and a half now and it's been working great

just as I woke up with this morning I noticed it was stuck on the apple logo screen and would stay there for 10 seconds then the screen would go Blue for a second. Then it would go back to the apple logo

anyone know what I should do?

Many thanks
