How to reset an iPhone 4s that won't turn on due to a hardware issue?

I tried the hard reset thing where you hold the home button and the power button at the same time and it doesn't work. I think the LCD screen is bad.

My iPhone 4s gets warm when charging, and vibrates every 5 seconds or so when charging but it will not turn on. I just want to remove my icloud account, reset my settings to factory settings, and sell it. But when i plug it into the computer and open iturnes, it says "iTunes could not connect to my iPhone because this computer has not been trusted by the iPhone."

Please tell me there's a way around this without bringing the phone into apple.

You can go to YouTube and search DFU mode for iPhone 4S. You can do a quick factory reset and you should be good

  • What to do when my iphone won't turn on or reset? I dropped my phone in the toilet about 3-4 weeks ago and it worked fine til now. I was playing an app and the screen randomly went black. I've charged it and it won't even go on to that apple screen.i've tried to hard restore and that hasn't worked.
  • Reset my iPhone 5s and now it won't turn on? I got a new phone today and someone is meant to be buying this phone tomorrow so i went to factory reset the phone but when i did it went completely black and wouldn't turn on or do anything. I plugged it into my computer and went on iTunes, it told me my phone was in recovery mode and that i need to restore it through iTunes and so i did. 2 hours of waiting went by and when it was finished it said my iPhone was not "eligible". Has anyone else had this problem?
  • If I turn in my iPhone 5 for hardware issues? (Read Description)? If I turn in my iPhone 5 and tell them that I'm having hardware issues or battery problems they are supposed to give me a new iPhone, but is it okay if the corners are scratched and when I take the phone do I have to take the earphones and everything with me?
  • If I turn in my iPhone 5 for hardware issues, can I get an iPhone 5s? Or does the warranty not cover this? So my iphone 5 has a hardware issue and they said they could change it for a new one with no charge… But this was before the iphone 5s was announced (and i kind of really want one so.) i know they can give me an iphone 5 with no charge, but once the iphone 5s comes out, can they give me that instead, or are they not allowed to?
