Did it have any accident at all? Leave it in the bathroom while you had a shower? Any potential you can think of for water damage?

Otherwise, try unplugging it and leaving it off for a good while... letting it really drain to 0...


My iPhone 3G did that once but I don't remember why (if any reason.....), and I know it randomly came back to life after not touching it for a few days.

Is your power button still in full working order? I know that my 3G has a really iffy power power button at this point. You could take it to apple, though it's out of warranty, I'm sure... they'll at least look at it free and say "yep, it's a goner" or something.. Hope that's been any help. I'll ask my friend who's worked at the genius bar for years if you'd like.

It heated? Try looking at the dock connector and making sure its totally free of dirt / whatnot. I know that the iPhone is supposed to power on when you plug it in, even if it's totally dead (as in, it should at least partially power up and show the little charging icon+do nothing else).

You should also try a different cord or brick. Make sure there isn't a problem there. Or just take it to apple and have them try to plug it in, if one is close by .

Here's hoping!
