Hello, I bought an iPhone 4S last week and it's been working like a charm until this morning. I found it dead and pretty much completely unresponsive, not reacting when I plug it into the computer (itunes won't recognize it's there either), and no amount of buttonpresing/-holding will get it to start - the screen is simply a permanent black.
I found it in this state after leaving it to charge over night. I have the computer on a shutdown timer, so it hasn't been charging the entire night (only for a maximum amount of about two hours until the computer died).
It responds to charging in only one way, and that is it getting warm when plugged in. Not hot, mind you, just warm; so the battery appears to function to some degree at least.
Sadly, it is also jailbroken since a few days back (I wanted to see what all the fuzz is about). Could that have caused this?
What should I do? I'm in a bind here.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: It's popped back to life! I was a bit wrong about the warmness when charging; it has been constantly warm over the entire day while it was dead. During the last hour it's been cooling, and I just decided to try to boot it up and it told me to charge it. Weird piece of tech, this.
