Stop It! My iPhone Keeps Restarting

Stop It! My iPhone Keeps Restarting

When you go to use your phone, you expect to be able to use it and you do not expect problems to appear that block your usage. One problem that may appear is that your phone keeps restarting without you prompting it to. While this problem may seem harmless at first, if it continues to happen, it can make it nearly impossible for you to use your phone. There are reasons why your iPhone may be doing this and we will go over some of them and how you can fix them below.  Problems with the Peripheral  The signals that your phone receives are centralized at the logic board and if there is any type of disruption in this pattern, your phone will not act the way it should. In fact, if there is some disruption in the communication with your hardware, your phone may restart by itself multiple times.  To try to fix this issue, do this: 
  1. Take the cover off your phone and open your device 
  2. Disconnect anything that is not required for the phone to function 
  3. Connect your phone to a USB cable 
  4. After the phone powers on, start to reconnect the different components 
  5. You can quickly narrow down where the issue lies
Storage is Full  The storage on your phone is useful and allows you to keep many videos, files, and more, but when it gets overloaded and is full, problems can arise. Your phone needs to have a certain amount of space available to be able to turn on and run. When this space is depleted, the system feels overrun and the phone will restart. Think of it as a defense mechanism for the phone. If your phone restarts once or twice, it could just be that you are running too much and the phone is overloaded but if it becomes a continual issue, your storage needs to be looked at and you should free up space.  In these instances, a force restart may be the only thing you need to do.  Charger Port Problems  When the interior flex cable within the charging port is damaged, it can cause issues with the phone. It is a common problem that does occur because the cable is prone to wear and tear.  To rule out this as the problem, do the following: 
  1. Peek inside your charging port to see if there is anything inside 
  2. Clean out any dust, debris, or dirt that may be present 
  3. Look for any additional damage such as broken pins
Logic Board Problems The logic board is the main central hub of your phone, and this circuit board is responsible for the functions within the phone. When the logic board suffers damage, it will not work the way it should and you will notice that your phone acts up.  If you think the logic board is the problem, do this: 
  1. Look at your logic board and try to determine if there are any issues present (look for visible damage) 
  2. Take your phone to a mobile repair shop to have them look at it 
  3. Have the board repaired or replaced, if needed
