Chosen Solution
My IPhone 4s Is Still There But The Screen Won’t Turn On! I Have tried the home and off button trick. It doesn’t work. I just got the screen repaired and it was really dark and now it’s just turned off. I don’t know whether its a problem with the screen or something else, but I don’t want to spend money on getting a new screen if that’s not the problem. Anyone have a solution for me??
Try a hard reset (hold the power and home buttons for several seconds.) If that doesn’t work, the battery is dead. Or it’s hosed. Years ago, my own iPhone 4 spontaneously went dead when I plugged it into the charger. I went into the local Sprint dealer to sign up for a new contract, and the staff spent quite a while trying to resuscitate it first (rather nice of them.) They were mystified by it. Anyway, if it’s a 4S, you’ve certainly gotten your money’s worth out of it by now. You can get a 5 for a song, or maybe a more current model.
