iPhone 17 and Pro models Not Charging or Not Turning all of a sudden. You pick up your iPhone and it’s just… black. Zero percent, no Apple logo, nothing. Before you start thinking it’s dead forever, try these steps in order.
Most of the time it’s just a deeply drained battery or a temporary glitch.
First, the Important Basics If the phone was at 0% for a long time, it sometimes needs 10 – 20 minutes of charging before it even shows the battery icon. That’s normal.
Use a proper wall charger (20W or higher). Laptop USB ports are good charging source too. Always start with a known-good USB-C cable and a good adapter.

iPhone 17 Not Charging or Not Turning ON
Step 1: Charge It Properly (Do This First) Plug the iPhone straight into a wall charger (20W or faster is best). Leave it alone for at least 30 minutes. Don’t keep pressing buttons or checking it every 10 seconds. If nothing shows after 30 minutes, keep it plugged in for up to 2–4 hours.
Quick tips while charging: Try a different cable + adapter combo if available. You can try higher watt charger any day. 35W, 40W chargers are safe to use with iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and Max model.
Step 2: Force Restart While It’s Still Plugged InDo this with the charger connected. Quick sequence:
– Press and release Volume Up
– Press and release Volume Down
– Press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo (can take 10–20 seconds)
Keep holding even if the screen stays black for a while. If you let go too early, start over.
Users in Reddit and Apple support communities have confirmed that Force Restart helped them to see the apple logo again and iPhone booted normally.
