iPhone wont start

[weeds]

raggedy Ann had a new screen fitted to her iPhone on Monday, it worked as it should for 24hr until she come out of the movies today and the screen was black........

i assumed it was flat but she assures me it was well charged

i have had it on charge for the last two hours and all that happens is the apple logo flashes every now and than.........

it did flash up connect to iTunes briefly at the start, have connect to iTunes and it does not recognise the phone......

any tips tonight before she goes back to the phone repairer tomorrow........

It could be one of the conecting cables to the screen has come off inturnly..You could try holding the home button & power button together for about 10 seconds then let go of the power button but still hold the home button..Or vice versa on the buttons..It will completely reboot the fone though & if its not backed up you will have to reload all the info..

thanks will give it ago

chuck the phone in recovery mode and restore with itunes!

start itunes on your computer, hold down home button on phone, then plug it in.. the rest is all on screen..

as Banjo said could be a cable, fairly easy to repair yourself. but also try that reset by holding both physical buttons until the logo comes up. it wont delete any of your stuff, only the factory reset through itunes will do that. if anything strange goes on with your iphone try this reset first. fixes most problems.

Agree with the loose cable.
Take it back to the repairer. Should only take 30 seconds to fix.

Er, not quite. I just replaced the home button my iPhone5 so I now know how much work is involved to pull one apart.

all fixed........they didn't say what the problem was

hopefully i can replace all the data and setting from the back up on itunes

Maybe the first time, but after doing my screen about 3 times, along with a few others, a cable adjustment is 30 seconds to 1 minute tops.

Add 6 screws for a glass changeover, usually including a new home button, and its a 5 minute job.

Granted, this was on the older 3gs units, so maybe the 5 is more difficult?

the 4 and 4s would take about 10 min to fix the screen contact, changing the front screen is about an hour. no idea about the 5.

Sorry, I should have said iPhone 4. My daughter just got a 5 and gave me her 4 which needed a home button.

Too bad I have a couple of bits of plastic or rubber left over. :(
