Chosen Solution

My iPhone 3GS (32 gb) randomly turned off last night and now it won’t turn back on. I know it was at least 70% charged the last time I used it, but I wasn’t using it when it randomly turned off. I tried to charge it with my wall adapter, car adapter, and I tried hooking it up with USB to my laptop and nothing has worked. Do you think this a battery issue since it doesn’t even show a “charging” symbol when I plug it in? It is an older phone and I’ve never replaced any parts on it. I want to avoid having to restore since I will lose all my data and photos (which wasn’t properly backed up the last time I connected to iTunes). :( Please help!

Miyabi, It will be difficult to avoid restoring your phone. I would suggest putting the phone DFU mode and then restore it. Since you want to avoid restoring, you can also try a hard reset and see if that makes a difference. To complete a hard reset… Hold the sleep/wake button at the top right and the home button at the same time. Hold them until the screen goes black. You may even need to keep holding them after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding the buttons. Once the Apple appears you can let go since your phone should now be rebooting. If you see no change with that, then I suggest replacing the battery. It is possible that your battery is at the end of its life cycle and no longer holds a charge. Of course there are plenty of other options, but they would all require you to restore your phone. The guide for the repair is here. Definitely back up your phone more frequently…:)

Hey, 1st Maybe try downloading f0recast-v1.3 it displays all the current info about your iPhone but it waits for your phone to connect. if it does not then it may be a dead phone. 2nd option Change the battery. but purchase a legit OEM battery they are more expensive but well worth it. 3rd option Try looking at the bottom connector if any dirt is trapped then clean. or replace the dock connector , not expensive. 4th option Try the reset 10 seconds power down with holding the home button. keep doing it till something happens might not work though.. but may be that your battery just gave out. so needs replacing
