Solutions to Try

2. Charge Your iPhone

Plug your iPhone into a charger for 15–30 minutes, then try turning it on or performing a force restart again.

3. Let It Cool Down

If your iPhone feels hot, give it some time to cool down before turning it back on. Overheating can cause unexpected shutdowns.

4. Update iOS

Keeping your iPhone updated helps fix software bugs.
Go to: Settings > General > Software Update and install the latest version of iOS.

5. Reset All Settings

If issues persist, try resetting settings without deleting data:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

6. Check for Water Damage

Inspect the SIM card tray for a red Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI).

If it’s red, your iPhone has water damage and will need professional repair.

1. Connect your iPhone to a computer.

2. Open iTunes (or Finder on macOS Catalina and later).

3. Follow the steps for DFU mode to restore your device.
