Iphone won't turn on even though its charging?
So last night I got home and plugged my iphone into the charger as it was dead I went to go get it about 3 hours later and it was still hasn't turned on yet but it shows on the screen as if it was charging. So I thought for some reason it was taking longer then normal so I went to sleep for 9 hours and when I woke up it still hasn't turned on yet. I went online to try and see what was going on but didn't really find a reason. I have clean the port on the bottom of the phone and changed cords and wall adapter as that was what people were saying to do. Still nothing. I have tried to hard reset nothing. I havetried unpluging it for 10 minutes and plugging it back in as i hold the lockbotton as still nothing. Keep in mind it is saying that it is charging this whole time. What can i do?
If the phone was completely discharged and left that way for a long period, the battery might have been damaged. The batteries used in phones can't handle being completely discharged, and when the phone says zero there's actually a bit of charge left. But if you don't recharge it promptly, the battery might truly discharge completely, and then it might not be possible to recharge it again. That's why manufacturers recommend that you charge the phone at least half way before storing it.
I think because it tells you its charging then the chord is fine, thats just my guess. If it hasn't turned on in 3 hours then I think you need to take it to an apple store, maybe the battery just went out (I've never had that happen but its possible). If thats the case its pretty cheap to have them put a new one in and then it will be like new again.
I had this problem in mi iPhone and it strared charging when I used a new cable. So, borrow the cable from a friend and use it for some minutes. If it charges your iPfone, your problem is the cable.
Happens with cables apparently 100% perfect and even it's a legitimate Apple product. If your cable is a non-Appple part it's highly probable that it's source of your problem!
So, in case ite problem is the cable, get a proper original iPhone power - USB cable.
Mine won't turn on it has Pic of it charging but it still shows when i've stopped the charging
- Will apple replace my iPhone even though its customized? So I got an iPhone off of eBay a few month ago and of course it has some problems like the home button not working properly, the speakers don't work, the promoxity sensor doesn't function, etc. And it wasn't abused or neglected or anything like that. I'm not under warranty so I'm aware of the 149 dollar fee to replace it. But will they let me do that still even though there's a customized pink backing on it?
