Won’T Turn On

iPhone is Charging but Won’t Turn On

Is your iPhone charging but refusing to turn on? Don’t worry, this is a common issue that can be resolved with a few troubleshooting steps. Before we dive into the solutions, make sure your iPhone is properly connected to a power source and the charging cable is not damaged.

iPhone is Charging but Won't Turn On

First, try a manual reset or “force restart” by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds. This will force your iPhone to shut down and may resolve the issue.

If your iPhone still doesn’t turn on, it’s possible that the battery is completely drained. Let it charge for at least 30 minutes before trying to turn it on again. If it still doesn’t turn on, check the charging port and cable for any debris or dirt that may be preventing the battery from charging.

Spudger

Clean the charging port carefully with a toothpick or a non-conductive probe, and a little isopropyl alcohol. Let it dry before trying a different charging cable. Alternatively, try charging your iPhone wirelessly.

If your iPhone still doesn’t turn on, it may have a dead battery or a bad charging port. Try replacing the battery with a partially charged one and see if the phone will turn on. If not, there may be a power button or logic board issue.

Apple iPhone Batteries

If the phone does turn on, plug it in and see if the charging indication comes on. If the phone says it is charging, then the Lightning connector works, and you likely had a bad battery. But if it still doesn’t charge, you may need to replace the Lightning connector with a quality replacement.

Apple iPhone Ports

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. Test the power button and replace it if necessary.

It’s also possible that the display is bad. An easy way to test this is to turn the phone on and listen for a sound. Also, you can move the mute toggle switch back and forth to see if it vibrates. If it vibrates or you hear a sound but nothing displays on the screen, then the screen is most likely the problem.

Apple iPhone Screens

Try replacing the screen assembly and see if the display is still black. You can purchase a new display assembly and follow the appropriate screen replacement guide for your phone.

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.
