HT1414 my iphone is stuck on the apple logo...the computer is not recognizing it when plugged in.  how can I restore

My iphone 4 is stuck on the apple logo.  Even when plugged into the computer, it will not prompt for itunes.  What can I do to restore or get the operating system working again?

Try DFU Mode Restore. Here are the steps:
Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release Power button, keep holding Home button. When iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, if iPhone screen is blank, black this is DFU Mode. Usually takes up to 20 more seconds of holding Home button. Restore the iPhone firmware. DFU Mode can be a bit tricky even for experienced users, so keep trying to get DFU Mode. Again it is Recovery Mode with the blank, black screen. If you have the iTunes screen this is not DFU Mode, keep trying.
