Same thing -- it went dead and wouldn't start up again. So glad to find this simple answer. But it's now stuck on the apple logo, the main screen hasn't returned as yet, but I'll leave it charging for now.

My iPhone suddenly showed the extremily low battery indicator on the main screen, and didn't show up on my computer when I plugged in the usb connector to charge the phone. I had tried holding the reset and home buttons for 10 seconds, but it didn't respond, so I googled for help and this page came up. I tried the solution above and it worked great. Thanks for the help.

hey guys thanks for the advise, my gf got a new iphone, was working fine but the battery died on 31st december overnite i put it on charge and had an alarm on for 1st january at 6am, and the alarm went on and would not stop because the screen just died...was pressing all buttons frantically without any results, so i decided to call apple tech support and THEY WERE CLOSED FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!! wow maybe we should stop using all apple products on holidays, and stop buying apple products on holidays too!! Called AT and T and they said they were helpless too and only apple could solve the problem and they had no authority to do anything nor could they get access to any Apple technician. And all this time the ALARM WAS RINGING LIKE CRAZY....and then i found you guys on the net!
The trick worked like a charm
Press the top on/off swictch, and press the switch below the touch screen and toggle the button above the volume on and off, while holding the other two ones pressed down, and it took about 10 toggles to start the damn iphone.
I MUST SAY THAT THEY HAVE THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN HISTORY!

Thanks! This fixed my iPhone, too. I thought I was going to have to buy a new one.

It worked! My iPhone resurrected following your instructions. Kudos! What puzzled me is why did it just went dead for no apparent reason?

I had the same problem, phone was dead nothing working, held down the home button and pressed power button at the same time and kept toggling the button above the volume on and off. Took about 10 goes but it worked.
Thanks!

You rock! It worked and I am so stoked.

nothing is working only sound
Comment by Guest, posted on Oct 12, 2008
Nothing worked. No response other than a slowly flashing Apple icon when the iPhone is in its charging cradle. No meaningful help on the Apple website. Most devices have a physical reset button -- sure would be nice here ... I guess it's time to restore from the PC :-(

Hey Vear you made my day! I faced the same problem and was almost in tears since nothing was coming on and voila I followed your tips and my phone is working again!

I've done the hard reset as described in the thread and the phone will not charge (it works, but no recharging of the battery either through charger or usb cable in computer). Ideas?

I had the same problem, your fix worked. Took about 5 to 6 seconds to come back to life. Thanks very much.

I've tried the instructions (if I understood them correctly) and it's not working for me. The phone seems to have gone black out of nowhere. My phone is only a month old; it can't be a dead battery already!
Comment by redearth74, posted on Mar 27, 2008
Yeah - same problem - did a ZiPhone unlock, firmware 1.1.4 - everything was working great the first day. Day two, the backlight stopped working, then the iPhone wouldn't charge... I was able to charge it partly using an old firewire iPod charger, but the iPhone (near the sim card/ camera area) got very hot. It charged to about 60%, then lost its charge very rapidly when unplugged. I took it back to Apple but they wouldn't accept it, as I hadn't activated it through AT&T.... I'm out a lot of money, and I've only had this damn thing working for one day! HELP!

Hi all, I need help!!!! I unlocked my iphone with the firmware jail break. yesterday i was upgrading my phone to version 1.1.1.4 and it downloaded fine and was working fine. today i woke up and decided to put the phone on the base to download some music and right after that i started seeing a message that said i needed to disconnect the phone because there was a power surge in the usb hub on my computer. i disconnected it and after that i tried to plug it into the wall unit and i didnt charge.
Everything was working fine still but i could not charge it. it just wouldnt charge. so i had to use it until the power ran out and now its dead and i cant charge it. each time i plug it in i get nothing. can anyone help!!!!! please i love my iphone and i know that apple wont fix or they will charge me. Helllllllp!.

O-M-G!!!!! I just did this and you're right! My battery came back to life in 5 seconds bc I charged it overnight but it still showed as lifeless. I did what you said and now it's fine. Thanks SO much! ;o) Little Miss S.
