iPhone 11 iPhone 11 will not power on or charge. PLEASE HELP!

[BenjaTheNinja1977]

My wife’s iPhone 11 quit powering on yesterday. Will not charge on an official apple charger or a wireless charger.

The reset doesn’t work, Cleaning it did not work. All tutorials are saying hardware issue and I need to go to Apple… But for us non insurance holding/past warranty poor folks who would rather fix it themselves; what do I do?

Thank you in advance.

Right now the problem could be anything - hardware related. There’s no way to know what’s wrong with it without opening it up and examining for something obvious (disconnected cable) or testing it with equipment or knowledge no regular iPhone user has.
It could be as simple as a dud battery- or battery connection.

At this point, you’ve got to find out what’s wrong with it. You can probably get a free repair estimate from a third party smartphone repair shop. Then make your decision based on the findings.

I figured as much. Just not sure if someone else ran into this issue. I really appreciate your feedback.

If you take it to an Apple store they can diagnose it and tell you what's wrong with it. They'll also give you an estimate. They will not actually do any repair work unless they have your authorization.

So, from this perspective you can find out exactly what the problem is and how much you can expect to pay - for free. Once you have that info you can then determine how best you want to proceed.

There's also the chance that it may be something simple and by fiddling with the phone it works again. That'd also be free.

All true. And I have thought of going to Apple. But I've been incredibly busy and the closest Apple store is 3 hours from me...

Fortunately, I had an old iPhone X that I swapped the sim card out with, and it's working. It'll do until I figure it out.

Thanks for responding!

Take it to the apple store for repairs or upgrade through your carrier
