IPhone 4s screen black and power button broken

My iPhone has went fully black and won't turn on again. I know that to turn it back on you need to hold down the power and home button, but my power button is broken and I have been using assertive touch as a substitute for the power button. Does anyone know how to turn on my iPhone without using the power button?

Btw I have already tried plugging it in the the computer and into the wall.

The best bet is to allow the battery to drain completely. Once that is done, you can plug it back up and it should start automatically after about 120 seconds. Even though the phone is turned off, it is still slowly losing juice. You may need to leave it over night.

A better solution though, would be to fix the power button, which isn't as difficult as you may think. Check on Craigslist for your local iphone repair person working out of their home, and they can fix it for you for really cheap. Then you don't have to worry with this anymore.

  • Power button and home button doesn't work on iPhone 5C? Hi, so a while ago I dropped my phone in water, I took it to a repair shop and they fixed it but when I got it back the power and home button didn't work, I turned on assistive touch so I can use my home button and turn off my phone, now I can't turn it on without using my charger or having someone text me, is there any other way I can turn it on without having to do that?
  • My iPhone screen is all black and my power / sleep button doesn't work. What do I do? I clicked on this app & my phone turned all black all I could see was the status bar and that's it & I pressed the home button but it stayed frozen, it didn't work. & well my power button doesn't work so yeah and then my iPhone locked and now I press the home button and Siri works and everything but my phones screen is still black!
  • My iphone is disabled and my power button is broken? When i hook it up to itunes it says "your iPhone is locked with a passcode" it was, until it got disabled and needed to be hooked up to itunes? I'm really confused. I really need help soon, because it is my moms and my brother locked it.
  • My iphone 4 went to a black screen and the top button is broken? I was just texting and it happened, if i let it die and then plug it in will it turn on? I tried leaving it on the charger for hours and plugging it in the computer! It was at full charge when it died! I'm crying and i don't know what to do!
