IPhone 5S screen black, won't turn on?
I was using my phone and the screen suddenly went black. It's not turning on, I put the silent on and off and it's not even vibrating. I've held in the power button and nothing is happening or showing up on the screen. I had it plugged into the wall and it didn't turn on, and again, it didn't vibrate to say it was charging. Now it's plugged into my laptop (not charging) and it's not even recognizing there's a phone plugged in, so I can't even reset it? I know it's not dead because it was at 80% when it just went black. What can I do? It's an iPhone 5S, it hasn't been in contact with water, and I don't think I've ever dropped it, probably just on my carpet from the couch but not recently. I got in probably in May or April of this year, so it's not old.
I suggest you try rebooting your phone.
how to do that…
1. Press the lock and home button at the same time
2. Let go of the home button when you see the apple logo
3. Then let the apple goes away and comes back release the lock screen button
hope this helps.
You need to do a hard reboot. Press and hold both the power button and the home button until the apple logo shows up.
