Dead iphone 5 won't charge/turn on?
Basically i was having a phone convo with my friend and accidentally fell asleep. I woke up 6 hrs later and my phone was off and i figured it was just completely dead.
I put it on charge at 1pm and its now 7.15pm and its still not showing any sign of life, not even the screen to show that it needs to charge.
I charged it this morning before i fell asleep and it was working fine but nothings working now, even itunes isn't recognizing it.
If it matters, i recently bought a new charger and it's been getting extremely hot when charging ever since and it isn't getting hot anymore when i put the charger in now.
I can't make it to the apple store till tomorrow but i was hoping for a quick solution today as i have a potential employer calling me for an important interview tomorrow so going to the apple store is the last resort.
What should I do?
Added (1). I tried resetting it by holding down the home and lock button at the same time for 15 - 20 secs but still nothing. Itunes isn't identifying my iphone as in when i plug it in nothing comes up so i don't know how to restore it if its not even coming up.
Hold down the power and home button for 15-20 seconds, it should turn on.
If not then plug it into your computer and open iTunes, click on your iPhone settings and click restore, wait for it and it should restore it, you will lose all your data. If you back it up the you can put back the data you backed up later.
According to the site called mendmyi, 3rd party chargers fry a little chip in the phone called a U2 IC.
