I went to a neighbors to se if they could have a look and they told me nothing was happening when I attempted to swithc it on. I then rang the apple store, who advised me to plug it in and also press the home and top key for about ten seconds, although he advised me do it for 20 seconds. Nothing hapend and so I left it plugged in for a bit. soon after, Voiceover started talking and all seemd to be well. Then I noticed noone could get through to me and when I visited the apple store the next day, I discovered I had inadvertently turned on the do not disturb feature on my phone. Apart from that, all else was wel with my phone. apart from my suggestion of pluggging in and holding down the two buttons on the phone, i'm sure the other suggestion could help too. it's rather worrying when your phone dies just like that, for no apparent reason. paul. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve" <pipeguy...@gmail.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, May 05, 2014 6:02 PM Subject: Re: phone has died Ok, I'm sure a lot of others with more experience than I might have better suggestions. Here are mine, though. First, is the phone charged? I know you said you plugged it in last night? How you might be able to tell... Does the phone vibrate when you slide the mute/unmute switch? If yes, then see below. If not, then if you're sure the outlet you used to charge the phone had juice, try turning the phone power on. You'll need to wait about thirty seconds for it to boot. If the phone did vibrate, then somehow your voiceover got turned off, or your volume turned down. 1. The speaker volume and earpod volume are separate. So, try plugging in your ear pods and see if you get voiceover. 2. Tap your home button. Flick down with two fingers to get the phone to "read" the opening screen. As soon as you do that, tap the Volume Up button a few times. If voiceover was down, this should bring it up to an audible level. 3. If you enabled the triple-click home option for Voiceover, try that. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

I charged it last night, and this morning, it just isn't working. How do I get it working again? No voiceover, so I don't even know if it's on or off.
