Hello, I just found this site and in advance, I really appreciate your help.

Well my iPhone 5c is pretty dead, I'm thinking I need to replace the battery. Phone not under warranty.

That's pretty much it... There's a black screen and it's off. No sound, no vibrate, and holding power + home does nothing. It's been plugged in for the past 15 minutes or so to see if something happens - nothing so far.

I also have an iPod Touch (5th Gen) with exactly the same problem. Not sure what happened with either of them, they were probably dropped but I know they haven't been on for months, at least. The Touch I will try plugging in after I'm done trying with this one.

Hoping to get this fixed soon :)
