Here's what I've tried for an iphone6 that was charged at 75 percent and operating perfectly well until I plugged it in yesterday--screen black, won't power on, calls call right to vm. the toothpick, the air in the charging port. Holding down home and on button simultaneously for up to a minute, repeating, repeating. Plugging usb into computer, then holding down home button while inserting usb into phone. Plugging with usb into computer, opening iTunes. All nada. Other ideas? What causes a sudden powering off when plugging it in?

This is exactly my issue - happened on my 6S notlong after purchasing - I chalked up to a "hiccup" and Pressing both buttons eventually worked. It seems to be happening much more frequently now and plugging it in to a charger immediately brigs it back - it acts like the battery just died.

Hi, anyone knows what to do???? I am experiencing this as well. Tried power on and hard reset. my phone turns on with the apple logo, for about 1 minute, and then black screen. Please advise, i would like to avoid restoring my phone, since i have yet to backup my whatsapp. Thank you!!

I never had this happen until the last software update (which I seriously don't think is an improvement at all!). Mine only turns back on when plugged in for a few minutes. It turns on and shows a charged battery. I have not tried resetting for 30 seconds, but you still lose what you were doing, and get the white apple screen every time this happens... annoying!
