My iPhone 5S seems to be dead. It won't power on. It worked fine yesterday.

I did not power it down . I attached the cable to charge it overnight. The battery was 90%

Today, I pressed the Home button - nothing happened. I pressed the Power on button - nothing happened. I pressed it for a long time - nothing happened. I have had it for just over a year.

Any suggestions?

Try resetting it - press and hold Home and Power button at the same time until the Apple logo appears. Let go of both, it should power up on it's own.

If this doesn't work, connect it to iTunes and see if iTunes finds it. If it does, restore it.

If this fails as well, DFU mode might help: DFU Mode for Dummies Apple iPhone Forum
 
Many thanks - that worked.

Do you have any idea why it happened - so it doesn't happen again?

Sorry, I don't know exactly why it happened. Depending on what helped: It could have been the software that just needed rebooting, or the firmware that was corrupted.
