Internet Saves iPhone 14 proMax

 

My one-month old, in two days, iPhone 14 proMax, died overnight.

I was in shock since it is new. It was dead. Very very dead. I could not start it in the usual manner and it was not taking a charge. I had what some refer to as the Black Screen of Death.

As most of you are aware, I use my phone a lot. It has and does everything for me. 

I tried placing the phone in different chargers to ensure it was getting juice, to no avail. I tried to reboot it, to no avail.

I was planning to get an appointment at the Apple Store to save the phone when I wondered if this problem had occurred to other users who may have documented a solution on the internet. I found a couple videos on YouTube which provided some clues and a solution that worked. 

The video that saved my day is below.

I was ecstatic when the solution worked. It was a unique key combination, that I wasn't aware of, to force a reboot. Even though the video was for an iPhone 14 pro, it worked for my iPhone 14 proMax.

My day was recovered. 

As was my phone.
