Selling broken black iPhone 5s?

I want to sell my broken iPhone 5s to someone who can fix it (through eBay) but I have a problem. It won't show any sign of working whatsoever. When I plug it into my computer, it does nothing. This means I can't do a factory reset so that when they fix it they won't have all the information on it. I don't want any random person seeing my pictures/text messages/or other personal info. Is there any way around this?

Added (1). That had to be one of the most immature ways to respond to someone. "Cry all you want"? Really? I didn't even get upset. Go be pathetic somewhere else.

Yes… Smash the motherboard with a hammer. Lmao… There. Walla… Issue resolved…
j.k! Lmao!

No power = no reset = data still on device

Cry all you want… Facts of life kid

Unfortunately there's no possibility to delete content off the phone if it doesn't do anything when connecting it to itunes.

To be honest, I wouldn't sell it like that since your data is still stored on the device. It would be too risky for me and not worth the money you'd get for a broken device.

You could maybe take it to the genius bar at a local apple store and ask them to get it fixed in front of you? I don't know if it's possible but you can then see what they do with your phone if it turns on again.

  • Which is better: selling on amazon or selling on ebay? I have an individual seller account and I've noticed that my products sell much faster or ebay. However, I sold two iphones. My final sale fee $1100. However, ebay charged me a final sale fee of $135 Then I was charged $40 by paypal Then I paid $60 total to ship both items. On my amazon account I sold 1 phone. The phone cost $180 Amazon took out $30 Shipping cost $10 So I made $140

  • My iphone went black but not totally black and i don't know what to do? So i was on my phone and i opened up the snapchat app and it just froze and went black but not totally black like how it is when it is off you can still see a little light. I really have to have it for tomorrow and i don't know what to do, i tried pressing the home and top button at the same time but its not doing anything.
