Possible Causes and Solutions for Your iPhone That Stops Working
There are several causes and reasons why your iPhone might not turn on or respond. Below, we’ll discuss the most common issues, and give you tips, advice, and solutions to get your iPhone working again.
2. Empty battery
The most obvious cause of an iPhone that won’t turn on is a dead battery. It may sound simple, but a dead battery can cause your iPhone to become unresponsive. To fix this problem, follow these steps:
- Check if there is any dirt or dust in the charging port and gently clean it with a toothpick or small brush.
- Connect your iPhone to the charger and wait at least 15 minutes before trying to turn it on again.
- If your iPhone is still unresponsive, try a different charger and/or cable to make sure the problem isn’t with the charger.
- If your iPhone still won’t charge, it may be that the battery needs to be replaced. Contact a reputable repair service, such as leapp , for assistance with replacing the battery.
1. Frozen software
If your iPhone is turned on but is not responding , it could be due to a software issue that is preventing it from working properly. This can happen when an app is not working properly or when there is a conflict between multiple apps. One of the most common causes of this problem is crashed software. In such a situation, you can try to force restart your iPhone.
Solution: First, try force restarting your iPhone. To do this:
- iPhone 6s and earlier: Press and hold the Home button and the Power button at the same time until the Apple logo appears.
- iPhone 7 and 7 Plus: Press and hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time until the Apple logo appears.
- iPhone 8 and later: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the power button until the Apple logo appears.
This will restart your iPhone without losing any of your data.
3. Hardware problems
Sometimes a hardware issue, such as a faulty battery, screen or button, can cause your iPhone to become unresponsive. This can happen if your iPhone has been dropped or has come into contact with water, which can lead to internal hardware problems. In such situations, we recommend having your iPhone examined by a professional repair service, such as leapp. We can diagnose the problem, examine your iPhone and, if necessary, repair it or replace parts. We will give you a clear quote and repair time upfront, so you know exactly what to expect.
4. Software issues
In some cases, software issues or problems with your iPhone's operating system can cause it to become unresponsive or unbootable.
Please note: Restoring your iPhone will erase all data on the device. Make sure you have a recent backup of your iPhone before performing this step.
To resolve this, follow these steps:
- Connect your iPhone to your Macbook with a USB cable.
- Open iTunes (on Windows or macOS Mojave and earlier) or Finder (on macOS Catalina or later).
- Select your iPhone in the program and choose 'Restore'.
