Chosen Solution
So I dropped my Iphone and the screen shattered, i mean there was glass on the floor. I continued to use it for a few days until i got a new phone then I put it in my room. I picked it up again a few days ago and plugged it in. Left it over night to charge. I don’t get a charging sign, and the phone wont turn on. I’ve been told to plug it into my computer to see if after a while iTunes will detect it, and i’ll know if its just the screen. But I’m wondering if that is what I should do seeing as my phone used to work even with the broken screen. Any ideas?
You should do the iTunes test to determine whether the screen itself died. If the iPhone is seen by iTunes, you simply need to replace the screen. You can find the detailed repair guide on iFixit; that guide will have links to the needed tools and parts.It is possible that the screen died, since it’s badly damaged. Step 2 would be to follow iFixit’s guide for battery replacement of the iPhone 5. But don’t remove the battery, just unhook it, press Power Button for 15 seconds, then reconnect the battery and the screen, and try to start the phone. Step 3 would be to try the logic board in another known good housing. If it still doesn’t start, then the issue lies on the logic board. Which would have to be investigated by a pro tech to try and determine the cause.
You hit the power and the home at the same time if this does not work than press the power button and hold than hit the home button and hold for three sec for both
How do I turn my iphone 4 on it shattered
Be sure to do the iTunes trick because this will tell you whether or not its just the screen. Otherwise, I would open up your phone and check to see if maybe one of the connectors is unplugged or damaged. I just read you replaced the battery and now its having a hard time charging. Do you have a voltmeter? I would use it to check your charger, then check the battery, and then check the board itself. Open up the phone, you can take the screen off for this if you want, I do because less risk of damaging it. Now disconnect the battery. Plug in your phone to a power source. Take the voltmeter and touch the connectors to the battery terminal. Youll have to move them around alittle until you see voltage, if you do. This can help determine if its the board, battery or the charger.
I had did the same with my phone. But I found a solution, Click the power button and the home button hold for 10 sec and that restarts the phone maybe that will help.
