Not rebooted yet using hold sleep/home buttons for about ten seconds? ----- Original Message ----- From: "SSEric" <sseri...@gmail.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 22, 2015 3:05 AM Subject: Reviving a Dead Touch
I have a Touch 5 32gb. Has worked just fine for a couple of years. Last night I charged it overnight. I used it for an hour or so this morning to read NFB NewsLine. It sat unplugged and untouched until about 9:30 this evening. It was paired with a bluetooth speaker I use quite a bit. When I tried turning it on, I got a buzzing sound. Sort of a lower pitch burned out florescent tube sound. I had someone view the screen and it was black. Swiping would not do anything; no voiceover at all. I did get the buzzing to stop by pressing the power button about 10 times. Seri was working and voiceover was on, but would not speak and swiping the screen, pressing volume buttons powering to sleep and awake did not emit any sounds. I did have Seri play music which I could hear. I did try plugging in earbuds and could hear the music but could not get anything from touching the screen. In my efforts to do anything, I must have turned the thing completely off because Seri will no longer even work. It was recognized when connected to iTunes through my PC. I tried resetting, but it said I had to turn off Find My iPhone in iCloud first. Real helpful. I synchronized things, so it was being seen, but there still is no sound coming from it and the screen remains blank. I should mention I also plugged in the power cord. I could hear the tones when connecting, but that was the only sound I could get. Is this thing a brick? Is there anything more I can try? I have never had a problem with it and do use it all day long nearly every day for reading, BARD or streaming. Any ideas will be most appreciated!
