Hi My (out of apple care) iPhone 11 Pro Max stays on black screen after a few hours not being used (most likely running out of battery). It used to respond OK to the Volume-Up, Volume-Down, Side-button sequence, but not anymore. Now it stays black. Last week it “magically” turned on again after 2 weeks untouched (connect to power screen). I took the opportunity to do a full reset (Recovery mode, not DFU as I couldn’t get it to switch in DFU mode). But It did it again: now I can’t turn it on, no button sequence work, looks like it does not even charge (does not run hot, neither on several working plugs, nor wireless). Call to Apple helpline didn’t help beside they wants me to pay an excruciating amount of $$$ to get a replacement :-) Anyone having solved that problem before? Thanks in advance !
Hi Crazy Pierrot, I have never heard of this issue, but I am willing to give some tips. You could try restoring your iPhone through iTunesIf you dropped your phone for long periods of time, water could have seeped into the screen and/or logic board and damaged the compenents.If your phone is not working with any series of button combinations, I suggest you try and plug the phone in first, then do combonations. I hope this will find you well -With regards, ziamaxim
First thing to do is replace the battery. Should sort the problem. Saves messing about pressing buttons in the hope it will turn on.
