There is a function Assistive Touch- therefore, reboot the gadget with the non-working key " Power"Simply enough. However, if the sensor fails, turning off the iPhone is more difficult: you will have to resort to Hard Reset– an operation that can cause damage to the device.
The need to turn off the iPhone without swiping across the screen usually occurs when the device freezes while installing a mobile application. The sensor also fails due to physical impact– for example, after a gadget falls to the ground. Most users, when the sensor freezes, immediately apply for warranty repairs, not realizing that they can do without the 45-day wait and fix the smartphone themselves.
The probability that after a reboot the frozen sensor will “resurrect” is 90%. But since the screen does not respond to touches, you will not be able to turn off the smartphone in the usual way - you will have to hard reboot. It is done like this:
Step 1. Press two physical buttons at the same time - " Power" And " Home».
Step 2. Hold them down until the Apple logo appears on the screen - about 10 seconds.
Then release the buttons.
Step 3. Wait 4-5 seconds and you will see the home screen of your mobile device.
On iPhone 7, instead of the “Home” button, you need to hold down the volume down key.
If you just want to turn off the gadget rather than reboot it, you should proceed a little differently:
Step 1. Press " Home» + « Power».
Step 2. Hold the buttons for 4-5 seconds until the screen goes dark, then release them. Don't wait for the “bitten apple” to appear!
After this, you can turn on the smartphone in the usual way - by holding the “Power” button for 2-3 seconds.
A “hard reset” solves not only the problem with the sensor. TO Hard Reset also resorted to if the iPhone began to have poor network reception or consume too much energy.
If you apply Hard Reset once or twice, negative consequences definitely won't happen. If you constantly resort to a “hard reset”, there is a risk that the memory module will fail, as a result of which all data stored on the iPhone will be lost. There is a widespread opinion among users: every subsequent Hard Reset increases the likelihood that the memory will “sprinkle”. However, this has not been confirmed by experts.
You should resort to a “hard reboot” only as a last resort - when other methods to solve the problem have already been tried and have not brought any results.
A “hard reboot” is the simplest and fastest measure aimed at restoring the sensor’s functionality. But not the only one. If the user is afraid to produce Hard Reset, he can contact iTunes– the media harvester will restore the device, and along with the restoration, the gadget will reboot. There is an option for the most cautious users: wait until the smartphone is discharged and turns off itself, and then “start” it in the usual way.
All equipment fails. Unfortunately, neither premium brands of devices nor budget ones are protected from breakdowns and freezes. What should you do if your iPhone suddenly freezes and the screen does not respond to touch? In this article, we will explain in detail how to turn off an iPhone if the sensor does not work.
In order to bring your device back to life, you need to reboot it. If, when the sensor is working, we simply hold down the lock button and then swipe across the screen to confirm shutdown, then in this case the mechanism is different. Simultaneously (!) press the power button and the “Home” button. Below is a visual demonstration of how to restart an iPhone if the sensor does not work:
Rebooting iPhone when the sensor is not working
By the way, if you hold down both buttons for 3-4 seconds, the iPhone will simply turn off and you will have to press the lock button again to turn on the device. If you hold down the Home button and the power button for 5-7 seconds, the iPhone will completely reboot.
Sometimes it may happen that problems arise not only with the sensor, but also with the buttons. Let's figure out how to turn off an iPhone if the screen and button don't work. Unfortunately, in such a situation, the only thing left to do is completely discharge your device and then connect it to the charger.
Usually both methods help bring the device back to life. If none of the above options helped you, we recommend contacting a service center.
Hello everyone, dear readers. I continue to delight you with useful lessons on using iPhone and iPad devices. In this lesson, I will tell you what to do and what to do if the device freezes and how to turn off or restart your iPad or iPhone if the sensor does not work due to a freeze.
As you know, a reboot can solve almost any problem that arises during the operation of the device: the iPhone or iPad is frozen, the sensor does not work and other unpleasant incidents. But the problem is that when you turn off the device or reboot it, to confirm the action, you need a working sensor, otherwise the iPhone or iPad cannot be turned off.
Based on the above, we can conclude that if the sensor is not working, it is not possible to turn off the mobile gadget iPhone or iPad. Therefore, we will have to use the so-called hard reboot. Do not be afraid, this procedure will not affect the performance of your gadget in any way.
Below I will describe in detail the process of how to forcefully turn off or restart your mobile gadget iPhone or iPad.
In order to successfully shutdown, you need to follow the steps below:
If for some reason not only the sensor does not work, but not a single button works, then there is only one way out of this situation: completely discharge your device until it turns off on its own. But cases when the buttons do not work are very rare.

The reboot function is provided in many electronic devices, including smartphones. It allows you to restore the functionality of the software and get rid of errors. How to reboot an iPhone if it needs a reboot? Despite the lack of a dedicated button, we can restart the smartphone using other means. There are also software reboot tools, which will be discussed in our detailed review.
Apple iPhone smartphones run on a complex operating system. Failures that occur during its operation lead to disruption of the normal functionality of devices - numerous errors occur in applications, and the operation of individual modules is disrupted. In some cases, smartphones hang tightly, completely losing functionality.
That is, the well-known saying “Seven troubles - press reset” applies here. How to restart iPhone 5s, 6s and any other version of iPhone if it does not have a hard reset button? Don't worry - there are other ways to reboot your smartphone, which will be discussed later.
Despite the absence of a hardware “Reset” button, it is still possible to restart the iPhone. A regular reboot is carried out by turning off and turning on the smartphone again. To do this, you need to press the power button and hold it for 10 seconds - after which a red power off button will appear on the screen, which you need to “swipe” to the right. After a few seconds, the smartphone will turn off.
A regular reboot using the shutdown method occurs in two stages - first the smartphone is turned off, and then it is turned on. To turn on your smartphone, you need to hold down the power button and keep it pressed until the Apple logo appears. After some time, the operating system will start in normal mode. This method is one of the simplest, but it will not work if the power/lock button on your smartphone is broken.
We already know how to restart an iPhone if its functionality is disrupted - you need to turn it off and on again. But what if nothing happens after holding the power button? How to restart an iPhone if it does not want to respond to user actions? Don't despair - we can force reboot your device. It works in 99% of cases, allowing you to restart the iPhone operating system and restore its normal operation.
How to restart an iPhone if it is frozen and does not want to turn off? The answer is simple - press the power button and the Home button and hold for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the device will reboot and the Apple logo will appear on its display. Once the reboot is complete, you will be able to see the desktop of your device. This is exactly what needs to be done in cases where smartphones stop responding to standard user actions.
iPad tablet computers, which are not much different from smartphones from the American manufacturer Apple, are rebooted in a similar way.
Normal and forced reboots are carried out by pressing standard buttons. How to restart an iPhone if the power button doesn't work? If the power/lock button or home button is damaged, working with the device will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. However, you can still restart an iPhone with a broken lock button.
To do this you need:
After this, the smartphone will turn off. To turn it on again, connect the charger to it.
All this torment with a soft reset without a button is not justified. Not being able to use a smartphone normally is a big disadvantage. Therefore, we recommend contacting your nearest service center for repairs. Service specialists will open the smartphone, replace the power/lock button, assemble the device and return it in working condition. After this, you will be able to use your smartphone normally and restart it as needed in normal mode.
Another perverted way to send an iPhone to reboot is to wait until the battery is completely discharged. At a certain stage, when the battery charge is not enough for normal operation of the device, the iPhone will turn off. This method works, but we strongly recommend that you contact a service center and have the broken button repaired. Moreover, such repairs are not so expensive.
If your smartphone is under warranty and you are sure that the button broke on its own, and not as a result of careless user actions, you can return the smartphone to the store for the purpose of further transfer for warranty repair to an authorized service center.
New smartphones mean new difficulties with rebooting. The iPhone 7 does not have the usual reset button, as it was replaced with a touch one. It is no longer involved in the reboot process. But this only makes the task easier - to restart the iPhone 7, hold down the power and volume down buttons at the same time. After a few seconds, the screen will go dark, then the branded apple will appear on it - the smartphone has rebooted.
Rebooting the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus is performed according to a strange scheme - first press and immediately release the volume up button, then the volume down button, then press and hold the power button. In response to these actions, the operating system will undergo a forced reboot. The iPhone Xs and iPhone Xr reboot in the same way.
And the iPhone is a rather elegant thing, and perhaps the moment has come when the device simply does not have any effect on keystrokes and is not activated. There may be a million explanations for this, but everything has its own reasons, everything can be explained in some way. Maybe you accidentally sat on top of it while the phone was in your back pocket, or there was a serious rainstorm and it ended up wet. Of course, if the smartphone drowned in a bathtub where water was filled to the top, or fell onto hard ground from a balcony, it is unlikely that you will be able to solve the problem on your own, and in any case you will have to visit a service center. But if no such critical actions were taken with the device, there is a 90 percent chance that we will have a chance to restore the functionality of the gadget on our own. The main thing we need to do is to take into account the signs given by the device and use them usefully and intelligently to correct the situation in our favor.
The most common case of iPhone not working. The screen does not want to light up at all, and regardless of your actions, there is no reaction to them. The most likely explanation for this fact is a completely dead battery or a completely hanging AXLE. First we will discuss the first option, we will discuss the second explanation for this behavior of the gadget a little later. What measures should be taken if it does not turn on or another modification?
1. Maybe you live in a cold region, and the winter in your area is very harsh. In this case, a likely explanation for the phone not working is that the temperature is too cold. Don’t be surprised, due to cold weather, Apple devices often stop responding to taps and temporarily become faulty. Place the gadget in a warm temperature and proceed to step No. 2.
2. Connect the charger to the device and wait at least 15 minutes. If we have determined the diagnosis correctly and have not made a mistake with the cause, the device will activate itself after a short time. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
3. At the same time, hold down the Home and Power keys. Do not release the keys for 15-20 seconds, namely until a glowing apple appears on the device’s display. After this, the keys can be released. Finally, wait approximately 1 minute for iOS to fully launch.
4. It happens that before turning to step No. 2, it is necessary to enable/disable the silent-mode switch several times at certain intervals. In part, if pressing two keys (HOME and POWER) at the same time did not bring the expected result, such a measure can bring the effect we need.
In the case where none of the above measures had the desired effect, and the iPhone 6 still does not turn on, the explanation may be this: one of the smart components has simply failed. The cable for charging the device could also be broken, or the charging itself could be faulty. It's worth trying to charge your phone using a different charger.
It may happen that an application on iPhone 6 stops launching and freezes. Under these conditions, it is necessary to force close it and unload the application from the phone’s memory. To force close the application, we carry out the following sequence of actions: double-click on the Home button, and then swipe up to minimize the problematic task.
From time to time the following happens: the gadget stops activating and responding to any button presses. In addition, a screenshot of the last program you launched is displayed on the screen in a suspended state, but there is no way to close it. If you find yourself in just such circumstances, perform a hard reboot of the smart phone. To force it, keep the Home and Power keys pressed for 10 seconds and you will get the reboot effect you want.
It may happen that the smart device does not respond to user actions, an apple appears on the screen and then disappears again, and this behavior occurs permanently. Typically, the explanation for this behavior of the phone is an incorrect update of iOS, a crooked hack, or a small glitch in the process of restoring a backup copy (in other words, a backup) of the device. If it may seem to you that the days of the device are already numbered, you should not rush to draw such global conclusions. In response, let's make an attempt to bring it back to life, in particular by launching recovery-mode. So, if your iPhone won't turn on, what should you do?
1. Launch the iTunes program on your computer and insert a USB cable into a free port on your PC (there is no need to connect the cable to the smartphone itself yet)
2. Turn off the power to the device by holding down the Home + Power buttons
3. While holding down the Home button, connect the USB cable to the device
4. Hold down the Home key until the iTunes logo and an image with a plug appear on the device screen
5. A message will appear on the PC display notifying you that the device is in recovery-mode
6. Next, tap the “Restore” button. Next, you should wait a certain period: until the device is restored to default settings, the latest version of iOS will be downloaded to the computer. During the boot process, the smart phone will simply lie there with a dark screen and not respond to button presses. Even if your network connection is strong and fast, the download may take up to 30 minutes or longer. If your Internet connection is not very fast, the process may not finish at all. So you should first take care of the reliability of your Wi-Fi connection.
Now you know what to do if iPhone 6 or an earlier modification does not turn on. We hope that this article will become your guide to restoring the device’s functionality if it appears to be faulty, and it will take you very little time and will not cost you any financial expenses.
