Problem with Apple iPhone Smartphone
Dead iPhone?
I had my iPhone at work today and the battery was dying I was not in rush to recharge till lunch. Well I got a red battery icon saying to connect to power, then after hitting the main menu button it just went blank. I got into the car and put it to the charger, no familiar recharge noise nor the green battery icon. I have it home now on the base charger but still nothing is going on...maybe let it charge for 8 hours before I touch the thing again? Or is there something more serious going on?

I just had the same thing happen!! I was on here looking for an answer. Did your phone ever come back? I am kinda worried.
hi fellows
i faced the same problem my iphone went dead ,i told myself that is it it my bad chance , i lost my 900 bucks
itis ok but when i read your solution about the bottom and how to toggle the switch above the volume back and forth two times, the hold the main button along with the top power button for about six seconds or until you see the apple icon displayed on your screen the main menu will appear shortly thereafter
and this is umbeleivable
thanks alot guys i love you so much
thanks

I had the same problem. Was out hiking in the desert for hours, tried sending some pix but no signal, so phone was probably working "overtime" trying to send them. I also had "location finder" on, incase I got lost, which drains battery. Anyway, when I saw a lovely snake, I wanted to take a pict, but iPhone was dead, dead, dead! I tried recharging it in the car when I got back from 4 hours of hiking, but no good. Then when at home found Vear's suggestion, tried it (it had been charging in the car all along, though no screen), and it came one after a few seconds, the Apple icon; a few minutes later it had reset itself, so I could send an email to my wife in Rome to tell her I got home okay. :) What did we do without these smart gadgets back in the Stone Age? Thanks Vears!

I had a blank screen and couldn't do anything... I just held the Home and On/Off button together for about 6-10 seconds and the Apple logo appeared, after that it was all sweet :)
It is a pity **** like this happens, what could cause something like that..... its beyond me, what a shame.... oh well at least it was simple to reset the phone and fix my problem. Good job Apple :P

Ok, I know this is way too late and I don't know if it even works, but this is how I un bricked my iPhone. I got the charger cable and plugged it in. I held the home button, unplugged it for 5 seconds plugged it back in and released the home button. Then it booted up and all was good. I don't remember what blog I found that on. But it worked on my iPhone, my dads iPhone, and even my little brothers iPod. But I can't test it anymore. My iPad has never bricked and my galaxy S phone isn't the same..... It's watt better.

On the itouch 4, you do the same, but just holding the center button and the lock switch, takes about a minute until the iPod sign comes up, but then it just re-boots. :D
My first attempt would be to hard reset it (menu button and on/off together for 5sec) while it's plugged into a charger. If that fails you most likely have a broken dock connector or logic board. I found this iPhone Repair Manual that will show you how to fix the screen, glass, headphone jack and menu button on an Apple iPhone 3G
.
It is not a porblem with the softwear, It's simply the Sim card. Just remove it, Restart phone, Put on charger. Problem solved (:
u dont have to reset it. thats a wasted effort unless its frozen. u just have to wait. when its red its VERY low on battery and wont show the apple until the very second it turns green. and when it reaches that point, it WILL turn on by itself. often, if its near dead then it wont show ANY reaction to being into the charger but it is charging and it will later on go to the red battery symbol. Hope this helped :]]
Hi Friends,
Problem with Apple iPhone? Most of the iPhone problem is Unlocking problem.
If you want to unlock your iPhone now you must Click Here.
If you have any other problem with your iPhone you can try the site by Click Here. May the site can help you.
the toggle solution didn't work. Any other ideas please? I have tried to charge the iphone, toggled the switch above the volume and held the main and power switches for a while but no joy! Would appreciate any help!
Thank-you, fixed
If you don't even get a charging symbol and you checked that your charger is ok, it's probably just a defective dock connector. Bring it to the apple store to see if you get a replacement through them. If you can't, there are third party iPhone repair services, that will fixed it for cheap. Also, I found an DYI iphone repair guide, so you can do it yourself too, not that difficult. Part is available on ebay.

my phone actually had some charge in it. It all of a sudden went completely blank. No buttons would work. Took the advise posted here...press the power and home button..had to do it for 15 sec....then apple icon came out..one minute later if your phone is already on the charger...you will hear the beap..few sec's after ...you will see the main screen...PERFECT. I didn't even have to reset..it was just like I left it. Thanks.
Had the same red battery icon & the Home+Power Button was still bringing the same screen up after 10+ attempts.
Finally added the 'toggle the sound/vibrate button [you have to stretch a bit but persevere!) & after the 10th constant toggling the bleesed Apple logo returned!!!
It is now siting in it's dock, charging as it should so what I'm saying is don't forget the toggle, ok!
Believe!
