iPhone4 dead

[pmau]

This is a rant.

It's dead, was switched off this morning. Does not power on.
I tried everything ... left it charging for 5 hours connected to the socket (not usb).

Nothing ... holding Home and On/Off.
No reaction at all.

Not jailbroken or anything.
I'm pissed. Sorry for that.

I dont blame you for being annoyed !

What did you last do with it.

Were you in damp weather and are the moisture indictors clear ?

If it won't turn on or react in anyway when hooked up to i tunes then i can only suggest you contact your local apple store to arrange a genius appointment, as they will be able to run further diagnostics on the unit.

I think the battery just died ... I just left it lying for approx. 12 hours.

The problem also appeared with my iPad once, it simply discharged overnight, leaving the ugly red flash battery warning on the display.

I assume that iOS 5 sometimes drains the battery because some process is running wild. Unfortunately it really does nothing at all. It's not even in the system profile as an USB device.

I also tried the DFU mode trick, holding Home while connecting.
But believe me, it's dead in the water. it does not even get warm when I plug it in the charger...

(Damn ... you know I really like high-end Apple stuff, but the old crappy Nokia plastic phones don't die on you just like that)

Ive been fortunate and had little issue with my 6month old iPhone 4.

I know its easy for me to type a reply saying that things go wrong Dude, but in todays techno world they invariably do.

One of the reasons why i purchase apple is their customer service, as well as quality idevices.

I truly hope you either manage to find a resolution or rectification via an apple genius.

Take it to the store, the staff are very helpful! Do you have one near by?

I contacted T-Mobile. They told me to bring my contract, the phone and the packaging for the IMEI. (Because it cannot be switched on and I don't have the bill anymore)

They did not promise anything, I probably have to pay a certain fee for a replacement.

Thanks for all the comments.
