How to turn on an iPhone that no longer turns on

Have you tried to turn on your iPhone by pressing on the appropriate Power button (located on the right side of the device or at the top, depending on the model of "iPhone by" in use), but your device does not seem to give any sign of life? It could be the fault of the overly discharged battery or maybe the broken power button. If so, to try to turn on an iPhone that does not turn on, you can try put in charge the device, leaving it connected to the power source for at least an hour.

So what you need to do is take your Apple-branded mobele phone, connect it to the charging cable and connect the latter to thepower pack and electric socket or to one USB port of the computer (which, of course, must be turned on), as I explained to you in my guide on how to charge the iPhone.

Once you have completed the steps above, after a few minutes the charging screen, the black one with the red colored stack. Leaving the device under charge for about 60 minutes, it should then turn on again, showing first the apple logo on the display and then the lock screen.

If, on the other hand, after putting into practice the steps I have just indicated, the reload screen is not displayed or you are shown a screen where you are prompted to connect the device to power, check the connector, the USB cable and the power supply and verify that they are connected correctly, that they are free of debris and that they are not damaged.

If there are no problems like the ones described above, try using a different USB charging cable or power supply or, if you have connected the iPhone to the computer, connect the device to a different USB port on the computer than the one in use.
