My iPhone Won’t Turn On

Posted on April 1, 2010


For the first time today my iPhone 3GS didn't turn on. According to the Apple website, the following are two ways of turning it on or rebooting it.

To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.

Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Press and hold sleep/wake button

Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

For me, the second method worked.
