Hello,

my iPhone 5c - after the battery was empty and the screen was black - stopped restarting. Recharging doesn't help. Any hints? I tried to find a support page, but it seems to be difficult. One year old. Carefully handled.

Now what?

Greetings,
PeterParker

Will it restart while plugged into the charger?

The dumbest thing about USB charging is that you need a tiny bit of remaining charge to be able to charge at all, as the electronics need to handshake and agree upon a charging rate. (Sooo many “dead” iPods back in the early Windows-compatibility era that could be instantly revived simply by connecting them to FireWire — which doesn’t have that limitation — for a few seconds...)

If the problem is that the battery is completely discharged:

You can build up a slight charge by briefly connecting and then disconnecting the charger from the phone a few dozen times (it will apply a voltage briefly — a fraction of a second — before the failed handshake will shut it down). Often, this will raise the initial voltage just enough to jump-start the phone.

Might be worth making an appointment at the nearest Apple Store anyway, though: Apple has dropped the price of battery replacement to 29€ for the next year. Take the offer.
