One of the simplest problems that can happen with your device. The phone is just does not turn on and lights up battery icon (apple) or even a black screen. The way out of this situation is obvious! First of all, you need to make sure that your charger working fine, try testing it on another device if the result is negative, then just buy a new charger and enjoy life!
If there is no way to buy a new charger, then try to fix it yourself - glue the wires, then charge through a usb station, for example, through a computer!
Do not forget that in the cold Apple devices may turn off, since the battery does not withstand even the smallest cold, you need to warm it up and insert the charger!
And most importantly, if your phone is completely discharged and does not show signs of life, then just put it on charge and do not touch about 20-30 minutes!
Software problem
It happens that the Iphone stops working normally: then some hangs in applications, and maybe even in general not turn on. In most cases, this happens after failed update or Jailbreak devices. The main thing is not to panic, because you can turn your favorite phone into a brick! One way to solve this problem is to phone called " Hard reset ". Here's how to do it: Hold the buttons Home and Power, then wait 5-10 seconds and your phone is very likely to reboot and work successfully.
But if this option did not help you, there is a 100% way - reflash device via PC.
First of all, download the program Itunes from the official site of Apple, further connect through the Iphone cord to the PC and turn off the device while holding the button Power and Home. Hold the buttons until the screen goes blank, release the button Power, but Home hold - this will put the Iphone in mode Dfu. After such an operation, a notification should appear on the computer that the device is in safe mode
ready for recovery.
In the iTunes application, all information about the iPhone is available, the opportunity create backup and most importantly, the recovery function! Click on the restore button and wait until the phone is installed new firmware and he will not turn on. Now your device is fully working on a new, clean firmware.
Hardware malfunction
Not always a depleted battery or poorly installed software can cause the apple icon to burn at startup. There are technical issuesthat it’s almost impossible to eliminate yourself ...
A common problem is a button failure Power. With active use, the button may simply sink into your nest and get it out of there only by dismantling the case. But you can continue to live with this problem. turn on the function AssistiveTouchwhich can replace the button Power.
Problem with items motherboard also do not bypass the owners of the Iphone. A huge number of chips, clusters of phone memory Nand flash and NOR FLASH, device power circuits, charge controllers - all this can fail for absolutely any user, and only the master can cope with such a breakdown, after preliminary diagnostics and careful study! The most pleasant hardware failure could be battery damage - replacing this part is extremely simple and cheap!
Hello! To begin with, it is worth describing the situation in more detail, otherwise it may not be clear from the title what the author means. And recently, I faced this problem personally, so the picture is as before my eyes and it won’t describe the situation :) And the following happened - my rather old iPhone 5s was completely discharged, as they say "to zero", and it would seem nothing criminal put on charge and went about his business ...
I’m coming back after a while, and I see a very strange and inappropriate behavior of the device - the iPhone turns on, the screen lights up for a while (an apple appears and even the password entry is briefly visible) and immediately the display goes blank and the phone turns off safely. And that’s what happens all the time. For the sake of the experiment, I waited another 20 minutes - nothing changed (only), but continued to turn on and off with enviable constancy.
I’ll run ahead and say that I managed to solve the problem on my own and without visiting the service center, and in a rather easy way. But first, on how to prevent this situation and what you should pay attention to:
- Do not discharge the device until it is completely discharged, especially if the battery is not new.
- Do not try to force, in the cold, you need much more energy to start.
- Use original accessories - the battery will only thank you.
Actually, almost all of these reasons coincided with me - it was relatively cool in the room, the battery has been there for a couple of years (although it holds), only the wire and charging are originals.
What happens in the end? When connected to a charger, it turns out that all incoming energy is spent exclusively on loading the system and backlighting the display. This energy is not enough, it cannot accumulate, the iPhone turns on, as it were, but immediately discharges and turns off. And then everything will be repeated anew. Here is such a vicious circle. How to get out of it?
- Use a more powerful power adapter. The one that comes with the iPhone gives out 1 ampere and it is clearly not enough in this situation. So you need something stronger, for example, from the iPad. It has 2.1 amperes at the output and is able to give more energy, which is enough to turn it on. Is it safe? Apple says that, and there’s no reason not to believe it.
- In the case when there is no other adapter at hand, it is necessary to do the following operation - and leave it on charge for a while in this state. In this mode, the screen does not light up and the system does not boot, which means that there will be no energy consumption and all of it will go to charge the battery. After 20-30 minutes, turn on the iPhone and rejoice that the shutdown has stopped.
- This option is clearly "amateur" and will require some skill from you. It consists in connecting the wire to the device for 2-3 seconds and without waiting for it to turn on, immediately pull it out. And in such small portions, recharge the battery to the state that is enough to fully launch the iPhone.
In conclusion, I want to note that the situation discussed in this article is certainly not normal and in a good way, the battery must be changed so that there are no other surprises in the future. But here everyone decides for himself.
This article describes what to do if the device screen freezes or does not respond to touch or the device freezes when turned on.
If the screen is dark or does not respond
If the device screen is dark or freezes, a forced restart may be required. This procedure does not erase the contents of the device. You can forcefully restart the device even if the screen is dark or it does not respond to button presses. Follow the steps below.
- On iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus: press and quickly release the volume up button. Then press and quickly release the volume down button. Finally, press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.
- iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold the side button and volume down button for ten seconds or longer until the Apple logo appears.
- iPhone 6s and earlier, iPad or iPod touch: Simultaneously press and hold the Home button and the top (or side) button for ten seconds or longer until the Apple logo appears.
If the device still does not turn on or boot
Connect the device to a power source and let it charge for about an hour.
After a few minutes, the charging screen should appear.
If the charging screen does not appear for an hour or the screen for connecting to a power source is displayed, check the connector, uSB cable and power adapter. Make sure all connectors are securely connected, free of damage, and not clogged. Try using a different USB cable or power adapter.
If the device turns on, but freezes during boot
If the Apple logo or red appears during startup, either blue screen, follow these steps.
ITunes will download software for the device. If this takes more than 15 minutes, the device will exit recovery mode and will have to repeat steps 2 and 3.
Additional help
If any of the following problems occurs, arrange for service.
- The screen still remains dark after charging, forcing a reboot, or following the instructions in this article.
- The screen remains dark, but alert tones and sounds are heard or vibration is felt.
- The screen works, but does not respond to tapping, swiping, or other gestures.
- Cannot force reboot the device because the Home or Sleep / Wake button is broken or fuse.
- The device hangs on the screen with the Apple logo, is not recognized in iTunes or displays a single-color screen.
