Are you experiencing the frustrating issue of your iPhone 8 not turning on? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. In fact, it’s a very common problem that many iPhone users encounter. The good news is that in roughly 80% of cases, there are a few simple solutions that you can try to get your phone up and running again.
Firstly, it’s important to rule out any sinister causes. To do this, you need to use a process of elimination. Start by pressing the volume up, volume down, and power buttons simultaneously. If an Apple logo appears, that’s great news! If not, there are a few more steps you can take.
Next, check your charging cable and the plug it goes into. Try changing the cables and the wall socket you use to see if that makes a difference. Surprisingly, this is a common issue that can cause your phone to not turn on.
If your phone still doesn’t show any signs of life, try plugging it into your MacBook or laptop computer using your iPhone charging cable. If your computer detects your iPhone, that’s a good sign that your phone isn’t totally dead.
However, if you’ve tried all of these steps and your phone still won’t turn on, it’s likely a hardware issue. If your phone is still under warranty, it’s worth checking with Apple as they may be able to repair or replace it for you. If it’s out of warranty, you can go to Apple or consider using a third-party repair service.
As a repairer, I often see that a hardware issue can be caused by a faulty screen, battery, or charging port. These are the most common problems but there could be other causes.
Hopefully, these troubleshooting tips have helped you get your iPhone 8 up and running again. Remember, in most cases, the first step works, so it’s worth giving it a try.
