My iPhone wont work :(

[bazra86]

hi guys, i have a first generation iPhone, when i push the power button on the apple logo appears for 5 seconds then powers off again. i have tried holding the power button and the home button but the same thing happens. i have also tried holding the home button as i connect the usb cable and still i get the same problem.

Due to this itunes wont recognise the phone as it wont power on meaning i cant repair it.

Has anyone got any suggestions for me?

Thanks in advance

have you tried to let it charge for a bit?

[bazra86]

yea the phone was on charge over night.

have you tried a second usb cord?

[bazra86]

yea i have tried 3 different usb cables and 3 different ports. im begining to think i might have to take it to apple and pay the £70 to get it fixed

its very possible you may just want to upgrade

try turning your computer off and hold the home button down on the phone while its restarting.

i just tried a restart with the home button held in, this didnt make any difference, id love to upgrade but unfortunately i cant afford to do so atm.

Since it is a 1st generation phone it may need a new battery.

thats a good point too...best bet is probably to take it to apple

Have you tried putting it in DFU mode and restoring it?
