Hi
I have an iphone 8gb. I have had it for 1 month. Yesterday it decided to blank on me. I have tried pushing down the sleep/wake button with the home button but still now joy. I really hated using the iphone to begin but know what am i going to do without it!!! Has anyone got any other ideas???
Did you try plugging into iTunes and trying to turn on? iTunes may need to do a restore of the device. If it still will not turn on, you may have to take it in for service, maybe an AT&T store can check it out for you.
Testimonial: "i have followed the instructions in itunes - the apple icon appears and then gets stuck half way when "verifying iphone restore" I tried!!"
