Had an iPhone 4 updating the OS when it was interrupted by the computer going to sleep and now is frozen on "plug into iTunes" screen.  Home/Power button combo will not reset, iTunes does not acknowledge the phone is plugged in.

I recently upgraded to the 5s, so I delegated my old iPhone 4 to a music player/daughter checking instagram and email.  Three days ago I plugged the iPhone 4 into iTunes to update it, the OS began updating.  During the update my computer went into sleep mode, interrupting the OS update.  Now the phone will not do anything but show the screen with the graphic indicating to plug the phone into iTunes.  I've tried a hard reset (holding down power button/home button), plugging the phone into iTunes before/during holding down the home button, holding down the buttons for various lengths of time in various permutations according to info I've found online, etc, and nothing happens beyond a brief showing of the Apple logo and then back to the same screen.  iTunes will make a connection noise when the phone is plugged in but otherwise makes no indication that a device is plugged in (no iPhone button in the tool bar, etc.).  Any ideas or do I need to take it to an actual Apple store and hope they don't tell me it is completely bricked?

Yep, done all that.  Repeatly.  Don't get any sort of recovery mode message or the phone showing up on iTunes at all.  iTunes is most current version, all diagnostics show everything fine, and it works fine with my current phone.  Just....nothing.
