What should I do if my iPhone shows the apple logo for 1 sec and then goes black?
I’ve been experiencing a frustrating issue with my iPhone lately. Every time I try to turn it on, it shows the Apple logo for about one second and then the screen just goes black. It’s not responding to any of the usual tricks I know, like charging it or holding down the power button for a few seconds. It’s been behaving this way consistently, and I’m not sure what could be causing it. I haven’t installed any new apps or updates recently, so I’m puzzled why this is happening all of a sudden. I depend on my iPhone for everyday tasks, so it’s quite inconvenient. What might be the problem here and what steps should I consider next?

I’ve encountered this exact issue before, and what worked for me was performing a hard reset. Here’s how you can try it:
1. Quickly press and release the Volume Up button.
2. Immediately press and release the Volume Down button.
3. Then, press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears.
This process forced my iPhone to restart properly, and after that, it resumed normal operation.
When I faced a similar issue with my iPhone, I found that it was due to a software glitch. Here’s what I did to fix it using iTunes:
1. Connected the iPhone to my computer via a USB cable.
2. Opened iTunes and waited for it to detect my device.
3. Selected my iPhone from the top left corner of iTunes.
4. Clicked on the ‘Restore iPhone’ option to wipe the phone and reinstall the most recent iOS.
Fortunately, I had backed up my data earlier, so restoring everything afterward was straightforward.
I managed to fix this issue on my iPhone by putting it into recovery mode and here’s how I did it:
1. I turned off the iPhone completely.
2. Connected it to my computer and then pressed and held the Home button (or the Side button for newer models).
3. As soon as the screen showed the iTunes logo, I released the button.
4. iTunes detected the iPhone in recovery mode and suggested options to ‘Restore’ or ‘Update’. I selected ‘Update’ to reinstall iOS without data loss.
This resolve helped me get through without losing my essential files.
This sounds like an issue I had following an unsuccessful iOS update. Here’s the most complete solution that worked for me using DFU mode:
1. I linked my iPhone to my computer and opened iTunes.
2. Pressed Volume Up quickly, followed by Volume Down quickly.
3. Held the Side button until the screen turned black.
4. Kept holding the Side button while additionally pressing the Volume Down button for around 5 seconds.
5. Released the Side button but continued holding the Volume Down for another 10 seconds.
6. The screen remained black, signaling entry into DFU mode.
7. iTunes then detected the device and proposed a ‘Restore iPhone’ option, which I confirmed.
It was a detailed process but ultimately effective.
In my experience, when my iPhone showed the Apple logo and then went black, it turned out the battery connection was the issue. Here’s what happened:
1. I took it to a professional technician who opened the device and examined the connections.
2. The technician found a loose battery connection and fixed it.
3. After securing the connection, my iPhone booted up normally.
If you aren’t comfortable with hardware, it’s best to seek professional help.
