3 methods to fix your iPhone won’t turn on issue:

Method 2: Hard reset your iPhone

Unless you’re absolutely certain that your iPhone is enough of power, please plug your iPhone into a wall charger or into your computer. Leave the charging for at least 15 mins, then try to press the Side button to see if your iPhone turns on successfully.

Note: If your iPhone still won’t turn on, please try to charge it with a different cable to double check.

Method 2: Hard reset your iPhone

If somehow, your iPhone freezes and can’t turn on, try to hard reset your iPhone. A hard reset can clean your iPhone’s memory but not storage. Usually, it can save your iPhone from the won’t turn on issue.

NOTE: If with a hard reset, you can see the Apple logo, then wait your iPhone for booting into iOS. If you can’t see the Apple logo and instead, you iPhone still keep black screen, please try the other method.

Method 3: Restore your iPhone to Factory Settings

If neither Method 1 nor Method 2 solves your problem, please go with the following steps to restore your iPhone to the factory settings.
