MY PHONE WON'T TURN ON!

[Ben a cava]

My iPhone 7 won't turn on I've tried holding down the power down button and power button and it doesn't work. It was charging overnight and when i woke up just didn't work. I've replaced the battery so it cant be that. I think its the black screen of death. Does anyone know whats wrong/any ways to fix this?

WHY DO PEOPLE YELL IN TITLES?

 

The iPhone 7 does have a component level issue that can cause bootlooping and black screens. Does the phone show up in iTunes? What happens when you plug it in to a PC?

It doesnt show up on itunes and when i plug it into the pc its the same as it not being plugged it. The pc doesnt recognise it either

iPhone 7 was not a "bendgate" phone... That was the 6/6s, specifically the plus models.

Sounds like the known default with IP7 boards then, a well versed board repair specialist like Louis Rossman can usually fix it.

"Bendgate" refers to an issue with the iPhone 6, 6s, and their respective plus models, that had a tendency to bend due to poor internal design. This REALLY only affected the plus models.

^^^ Even then, the 6 Plus I used to run is only slightly bent, and my 240+ lb ass sat on it a good few times. IIRC the main issue was the aluminum they used, it's very very soft, bends pretty easily (more so if you remove the screen, the glass does add a good bit of rigidity).

Really the issue is that the frame (atleast on the 6s) is just a flat piece of aluminum internally. There is no structure to support it, only by the PCB and display.

That depends on the shop you go/send it to.
