iPhone is Charging but Won’t Turn On

Is your iPhone charging but refusing to turn on? Don’t worry, we’re here to help you diagnose and potentially fix the issue. At Salvation Repair, we offer a limited lifetime guarantee of all parts and labor, and you can schedule a repair at our website.

Before we dive into the potential causes and solutions, it’s essential to ensure that your iPhone is indeed charging. Check your charging cable and port for any signs of damage or wear. If your iPhone is charging, but the screen remains black, there might be a problem with your iPhone’s logic board, display, or battery.

Causes

There are several reasons why your iPhone might be charging but won’t turn on. Here are some potential causes:

1. Dead Battery: If your iPhone’s battery is completely drained, it might not turn on even when plugged into a power source. Connect your iPhone to a charger and let it charge for 30 minutes, and then try turning it on again.

2. Dirty Charging Port or Cable: A dirty charging port or cable can prevent the battery from charging. Clean the port carefully with a toothpick or a spudger, and a little isopropyl alcohol. Let it dry, and try a different charging cable.

3. Faulty Battery or Charging Port: If your iPhone still doesn’t turn on, it may have a dead battery or a bad charging port. Replace the battery with a partially charged one and see if the phone will turn on. If not, there might be a power button or logic board issue.

4. Bad Power Button: If the power button doesn’t seem to work, plug the iPhone into a power source and see if it turns on automatically. If the phone turns on and has power, then there might be a problem with either the power button or the power button cable.

5. Bad Logic Board: If none of the above solutions work, your logic board may be faulty and needs to be replaced. You can either replace the entire board or attempt to diagnose and repair it using microsoldering techniques.

Solutions

If your iPhone is charging but won’t turn on, try the following solutions:

1. Force Restart: Your iPhone may simply be temporarily frozen and needs a manual reset or “force restart.” Follow the appropriate instructions to force restart your iPhone.

2. Clean Charging Port or Cable: Clean the charging port and cable to ensure they’re free from debris and dirt.

3. Replace Battery: If your iPhone’s battery is dead or faulty, replace it with a partially charged one and see if the phone will turn on.

4. Replace Charging Port: If the charging port is faulty, replace it with a new one to ensure proper charging.

5. Contact a Professional: If none of the above solutions work, it may be best to contact a professional repair service like Salvation Repair to diagnose and fix the issue.
