IPhone randomly shut off and now it's stuck on the apple logo no matter what I do?

I recently bought my mom an iPhone 5c off eBay recently and I received it this morning. The person I bought it from said the iPhone was working perfectly. I got it this morning and turned it on and set everything up and it was all working fine.
After about 2 hours my mom said she put it in her purse and it randomly restarted. When I turned on it was stuck on the apple logo for a long time and wouldn t turn on. I tried so many times to hard reset it and plug it in and everything, but nothing seems to work. I googled what to do and tried multiple things but nothing seems to work. Every time I hard reset it, it just turns off and then turns on and gets stuck on the apple logo again. I've held the power and home buttons for long periods of time and nothing seems to be happening. Any idea what I should do?

I would just try bringing it in to the Apple Store, they will fix it free of charge sometimes if it's just a simple fix.

Nope. I guess you will just have to return it.

First try a hard reset. Hold the home button and power button down until the iPhone powers off and then hold it until it powers back on. If you're still getting this issue, then restore via iTunes, which will for sure fix the phone. If the problem persists after restoring then you'll want to return the phone for a refund.

Directly contact the seller for a refund.

  • Why does my iPhone shut off randomly all the time? I have an iPhone 5s and I have had it for more than a year now. As of recently, when I use it, I could be texting, snapchatting or watching youtube videos and out of nowhere with no warning, It just turns off. The apple logo comes on the screen and then It turns off again. It comes on and then turns off and it stays like that for about 10-30 minutes. I don't know why it's been doing this and it's getting really annoying.
  • Why does my iPhone 6s randomly shut off outside? Sometimes when IIm outside my iPhone 6s would randomly shut off. It would show a dead battery sign and charger needed to be connected. 5min later it would turn back on. I've read that it may be the cold weather and I think that s part true. Since its pretty cold outside (New York) it would explain why it d shut off. Warm season didn't start yet and it's April. Does anyone else experiencing this or is it just me. Do I need a new battery?
  • My Iphone 4 shut off randomly and won't turn back on? - 1 I've searched the internet and found the same answer: hold the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time to reset the phone. Now the only bad thing is that my sleep/wake button is broken… So I have no idea what to do. I have the latest iOs update. I don't know maybe it will randomly turn itself back on
  • My laptop randomly shut off and now it won't turn back on? What's wrong with it? Do I have to buy a new one? I'm so confused. P.S. I'm typing this from my iPhone. I took the battery out and now it's working again. Yea! If I put the battery back in though, will it still work?
