iPhone is Charging but Won’t Turn On: A Step-by-Step Guide

Is your iPhone charging but refusing to turn on? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered At Salvation Repair, we’ve seen this issue before, and we’re here to help you troubleshoot and fix it. In this article, we’ll walk you through the possible causes and solutions to get your iPhone up and running in no time.

Cause 1: iPhone Needs a Force Restart

Sometimes, your iPhone might just need a little kick to get it going again. A force restart can help resolve the issue. To force restart your iPhone, follow these steps:

Step 1: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top right side of your iPhone.

Step 2: Press and hold the Volume Down button

While still holding the Sleep/Wake button, press and hold the Volume Down button on the left side of your iPhone.

Step 3: Release the buttons

Release both buttons when the Apple logo appears on the screen.

Cause 2: Dead Battery

If your iPhone’s battery is completely drained, it might not turn on even when plugged into a power source. Try charging your iPhone for at least 30 minutes and then try turning it on again.

Cause 3: Dirty Charging Port or Cable

A dirty charging port or cable can prevent your iPhone from charging properly. Try cleaning the charging port with a toothpick or a non-conductive probe, and then try charging your iPhone again.

Cause 4: Faulty Battery or Charging Port

If your iPhone still won’t turn on after trying the above steps, it’s possible that the battery or charging port is faulty. Try replacing the battery or charging port with a new one.

Cause 5: Bad Power Button

If the power button is not working, try plugging your iPhone into a power source and see if it turns on automatically. If it does, then the power button might be the culprit.

Cause 6: Bad Display

If your iPhone’s display is not working, try listening for sounds or feeling for vibrations when you turn it on. If you hear or feel something, then the display might be the problem.

Cause 7: Bad Logic Board

If none of the above steps work, it’s possible that the logic board is faulty. In this case, you might need to replace the entire logic board or seek professional help.
