My iPhone 3GS won't turn on? - 1

I've had my iPhone 3GS for about two years now, and it's never given me any problem until now. I noticed that when I woke up, I noticed it had fallen a good 3 feet from where it had been charging. It was on the apple logo screen, but I thought nothing of it at the time. When I come back 10 minutes later, it's still on the apple logo screen. With a little messing around with it, I was able to get to my lock screen, but the prompt "Activation required" was waiting for me. When I unlock the phone, the "plug into ITunes" screen was waiting for me. When I unplug it, everything shuts off immediately, even though it said it was at 100% battery. Can anyone help with this? I'm not hugely familiar with fixing/troubleshooting apple products.

I would try a hard reset hold power and home for about ten seconds.
If that doesn't work try this

  • Why won't my iPhone 3GS turn on? I've literally tried everything, but it won't turn on. It randomly just shut off without any warning. I had it on sleep mode, and it didn't even show the turning off screen or anything, and now it's stuck on a black screen. I've tried everything, resetting, trying to turn it on and off, pressing the home button multiple times, charging it, it just won't work. I don't understand! It was only half-way into its life span and now this happens!
