Why isn't my iphone turning on? - 3

I have a iphone 4s that i haven't used for about 2 years and was going to sell it. I put it on charge and the battery sign came up so i left it for a while to charge but it was still saying it had no battery. So i left it for a few days and now when i unplug it it just comes up with the apple sign and doesn't turn on. I've tried holding the lock button down whilst plugging in and re starting it but notbing is working, Does it need a new battery or is the phone broken?

Bad battery

Likely the phone is broken, but you can still get money for it.

  • Why isn't my iPhone 4 turning on or charging? Nothing has happened to it. It randomly shut off when I wasn't looking and when I picked it up it wouldn't turn on or charge. I Can't try and reboot it with the home and lock buttons because my lock button is broken. How can I fix this, it won't even connect to the computer
  • Why is my iPhone 5 turning off and not turning back on? This has happened twice now. My iPhone 5 has turned off in the middle of the night with a full charge and off the charger, and when I try to turn it back on it takes a couple tries. Has anybody experienced this?
