[Trainer-Talk] reboot IPhone

Tue Mar 13 12:25:18 UTC 2018

Thanks, I can go to the apple store easy enough.  He did check the nearest repair center and it was within miles of the apple store 45min away.  it is nearly impossible for me to get out there.  last time was over 4yrs ago.
I think he said no point of the battery because I am the sixth person to have the phone; the power button doesn't work; the obvious battery problems and the home button doesn't always work.  he said he was surprised it has lasted this long.  But since I cant afford anything new I must chase these other options.  Thanks for following this thread.  I will keep you up to date.

Bridget,

A few comments. First, I'm glad you contacted Apple's help desk. I certainly can't claim to know more than an Apple tech support representative but I'm not certain why he felt that a battery replacement would only provide your phone with six months of operation. I do realize that you're working with an older phone but a new battery should provide much more in the way of service.

As for visiting your local AT&T store, it couldn't hurt and they might possibly be equipped to repair your iPhone. However, if they are unable to do so I still feel that visiting your nearest Apple store or nearest authorized Apple service center would be your best bet. You could contact Apple and ask for the location of your nearest authorized repair center. I still feel very confident that your phone, along with its data, can be restored and that it would be worth the inconvenience of arranging for a long drive.

Update: I called Apple disabilities and told them my situation and what trouble shooting I did.  he basically said it was dead.  A possible battery replacement could be done if a battery could be found but it may only extend the phone another six months if I was lucky.  He did recommend the ITouch since I do not use the phone but I don't have that money.  and the diabetic blood monitor has to be an IPhone 7 or higher.  Which I also cannot afford.
I just wanted to make sure I did not miss a check or hack to bring the phone back to life.  thank you all for your suggestions and ideas.

Lincoln Nebraska doesn't have a "apple" stoer either but we do have an Apple reseller who does quite a bit of service.  Another suggestion might be a place like PhoneFix USA or Cellular Planet.  I would try asking Google "nearest place to get iPhone fixed". You might be surprised what comes up.
I know my retailer was able to restore the operating system on a phone that got corrupted soon after we purchased it.

Bridget,

I believe that all hope is not lost. The first thing that I would do is to find your nearest Apple store and take the phone there. It is likely that one of their service reps will be able to revive it. While you may not have backed up your phone, it is possible that backups were being made if the iCloud backup feature was enabled. It is possible that this was done when you first set up the phone. Regardless, see what a rep from the Apple store can do. I do believe it's likely that they can restart your phone.

Assuming this is the case, ask them to check to see if iCloud backups are already enabled. If they are not, ask them if they could ensure that they are before you leave the store. Once this is enabled, your phone will automatically back up critical data on a daily basis to iCloud when it is locked and plugged in.

I wish you the best with this. Please let us know what happens.

Hi, I have an IPhone 5C.  the power button is broken.  I was getting a new app and listening to the tutorial and my battery died completely.  I cannot get it to charge again.  I tried 3 different outlets and 2 different cords and my laptop to charge it.  so I thought I would try to reboot it but my power button doesn't work.
I  had found a way to turn the phone off through accessories but with the phone dead I cant use that.
I never backed up my phone, of course.  And I have info on there and only there.  some the only contact I have with some people and no clue what their info is in my head.
Do I have any reasonable hope of getting my info back or rebooting it?
Also, I do not have a data plan.  I never used it as a phone.  I just used it for apps and text.
Thank you for your time.
Bridget, PA
