Your solution of trying to turn it on by pressing & holding both buttons simulationously for 10 sec worked first try, even though i had already tried turning it on again mulitple times - mut be the length of time holding the buttons. Thanks so much. My phone was fairly new & I was starting to freak out over prossibly breaking it!! Sana,

Had the same problem everyone else had with my 3gs 16m iPhone. It went dead and didn't respond to anything - - even calling it didn't do anything. Holding the two buttons down for 10 seconds brought up the silver apple and then pushing the button again brought up the on slider at that was it.

The tech solution worked. I held down the HOME button and the on/off which brought my iPhone back to life. Yesterday my iPhone worked as usual through about noon, when it suddenly went totally "dead". Nothing I did get it started. I tried charging it (though I knew it was 80% charged) and the charge function did not work, did not indicate that it was on at all. Finding this site, I held down the two buttons and, after about ten seconds, the silver apple appeared and the phone works again. But why did it fail? Do this indicate a hardware problem with the phone? or software? Should I seek Apple technical assistance or AT&T? Thank you! The tech solution worked.
