My iphone 5s started to restart all the time and now it is switched off and will not turn back on.
I have tried resetting it, leaving it on charge over night and connecting it to itunes. Nothing is working =(
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.2
Hi Jessica_2152,
It sounds like you have tried some of the troubleshooting steps in the article below to get your iPhone to turn on. The next step would be to put your iPhone in recovery mode to see if you can update it.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

If you see a black screen
You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on.
You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device.
If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
- Restart your device.
- If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
- Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
- Put your device in recovery mode.
- When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
