I was reading the news. Then I noticed an update for CNN and downloaded it. The phone worked when I went into CNN. Next there was an update for iOS 6.1. I downloaded it and the phone will not turn on. The creen is completely black.

"I followed your instructions. However, if I hold the sleep button I do not
get the slider to shut it off. If I hold the sleep button and the home
button together I do get the apple but it flashes on and off. Nothing I do
gets me the red slider or a home page.
