update: after leaving it plugged into computer for about an hour, screen suddenly popped back on (and at 74% charged) - apple start up screen appeared.
any insight on what could/may have happened? many thanks guys. regards lynn ----- Original Message ----- From: lynn...@westnet.com.au To: "wamug" <wamug@wamug.org.au> Sent: Wednesday, 4 January, 2012 10:32:04 PM GMT +08:00 Beijing / Chongqing / Hong Kong / Urumqi Subject: iphone4 dies for no reason and doesnt start up hi i have had my iphone4 for almost a year now (in march to be exact). tonight i had it shut down on me (meaning the screen suddenly went blank) and tried to hold down just the sleep/wake button for a few seconds and hold down just the home button for a few seconds. but nothing worked and cant get the screen to light up again. thought it may had run out of battery, but when i plugged it into power, nothing happened either. phone has not been updated with iOS5 yet. but when i plug it into computer, itunes can still read it. when it died, it still had about 18% battery life left. can someone shed any light on this for me please. it happened to me once before and i did a hard reset - lost quite a few text messages i had, as i do not plug it into the comp that often. am trying not to do a hard reset this time. and Ronni, take a longer break, DO NOT answer!!!! thanks guys. regards Lynn -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Settings & Unsubscribe - <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug> -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Settings & Unsubscribe - <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug>
