I have an old iPhone 5s, It was working just fine before i got my 6Plus, went to go give it to my friend and it won't turn on.
Tried charging it...and holding down both power buttons and moving the mute button up and down.
Nothing.
Please help me, any other ideas?
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.1, Won't power up
How long was it sitting idle before you just tried to use it? If the battery was discharged, and it sat for several weeks, you have killed the battery permanently. Try charging for an hour with the wall adapter, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until something happens (up to 30 seconds). If nothing happens the battery is dead or you have some other hardware failure.
Its been sitting over a month now.
I had it charging for a couple days..and nothing. I also think that i did not turn it off before i stopped using it, if that makes a difference.
If the battery is dead, should i take it to apple to get a new one...can you get a new one?
Apple will replace the battery in-store for $79. Make a Genius Bar appointment before going to avoid a long wait.
Once you've resolved the turn-on issue(s) and before giving the iPhone
away, be sure to dis-associate your iPhone from your Apple ID account.
Regarding issues with the iPhone, some models are easier than others
to attempt a battery replacement; however once you've opened it up,
the official Apple service may not take interest in additional repairs, etc.

The Apple Store is probably the better bet with the battery & other service.
Good luck in that matter! 🙂
