Steps to Fix iPhone Won’t Turn On
1. Force Restart Your iPhone
Doing a force restart will not delete any of your photos or data. If you have an iPhone 8 or a newer model, just do this: First, press and quickly let go of the Volume Up button. Next, press and quickly let go of the Volume Down button. Finally, press and keep holding the Side button. Keep holding it until you see the Apple logo on your screen. That’s it!.
2. Charge Your Device Correctly
Plug your iPhone into the charger and let it charge for up to one hour. Make sure you are using a good quality, certified charging cable and a working wall adapter.
3. Check the Charging Port
Sometimes, your phone won’t charge because there’s dust or lint stuck in the charging port. Use a wooden toothpick or a can of compressed air to gently clean out any dirt from the port.

- System software crash
- Faulty charging accessories
- Liquid or physical damage
Pro Tips:
