This is the same thing that happened to me when I went to apple. They didn't try to help with it or anything.

So they didn’t even talk with you or look at you?

Possible reasons/troubleshooting:


1. Hard-reset, by holding sleep/wake and homebutton BOTH for 5 seconds.

2. Restore via iTunes in recovery mode.

3. This also could be a hardware issue. Maybe a Display error, a battery problem or an issue with the ambient light sensor, beneath the camera.

Remove cover/foil from device and clean the small dot beside the camera with glass-politure.

4. If it is still not working call AppleCare or visit Apple Retail Store because device is defective and needs service.

hello,


Purchased my iphone six plus did the restore screen went black. Tried charging on wall outlet nothing no charging sign no vibrate nothing at all tried on my laptop, laptop was unable to recognize it. Tried on a desktop also nothing. Left it overnight to see if anything would change by morning and still nothing is happening. Will have to take it back, I tried all the troubleshooting but nothing works. It was fully charged when restoring was being done so I know its no the charge.

I was in this exact situation. It's now April 2015 and this is still happening to people restoring backups on brand new phones with updated versions of iOS!! But after trying this Home button + Wake button trick, I'm back in business. My dead phone finally woke up and worked. Phew. Thanks for sharing this solution!

Thank you so much for this tip! I thought my phone was going to be totally unusable without tech support for a bit before I saw your comment. Got it to work again. 🙂

Hi,

Yeaterday I got Iphone 6 plus, came to home very happy, turn it on, set it up, download some apps... then I tried to take back up from itunes and to my surprise it didn't recognise it, nor it is charging. I connect it to a wall charger, still it was not charging. Took support from apple customer care but the issue remains the same. This is so disappointing. I am using apple product for many years but never face such a problem. Now no option than to return the phone and again wait for some more time for the replacement.

I got the same issue, even with the new update iOS 8.3.Please help! Just bought an iPhone 6, 16g. I updated it to iOS 8.3, but after the update, I had problems with the WiFi connection, which always drop off every 10 seconds. It never happened with my other Apple devices. After 48 hours, I went to the Apple Retail Store for a replacement, and fortunately, they replaced the iPhone 6 for another one right away. I decided to keep the old iOS 8.1 and not update it to iOS 8.3, because I was scared of having to deal with the WiFi problem again.

What's funny is that instead of having the WiFi problem, my new iPhone 6 constantly crashes after a blue screen appears. I searched the web, and saw that this kind of problem usually occurs with the old iOS (8.2 and lower) and the new iOS 8.3 is supposed to solve it. SOOO... I decided to finally update it to iOS 8.3, and at the same time I would test the WiFi connection. After another 48 hours of new iPhone replacement and with the iOS 8.3 update, my iPhone still crashes, and now it never comes back. The screen remains black forever even after many attempts of restoring it (home button + lock button, pressing them together from 10 seconds to 2 minutes). Even iTunes cannot restore it: ERROR 2009, 2005, 4005, 4014, 21, etc. Nothing works... but iTunes recognizes it as in "Recovery Mode". The apple logo or whatever logo never appears. I'm going back to the Apple Retail Store tomorrow, but I'm not happy because it's a waste of time and money.
