IPhone 3G Stuck at Apple Logo and won't charge from USB

Help!
My wife recently dropped her iPhone 3G down the toilet (clean water!), after retriving it and allowing it to dry I turned it on but there was no response.  I plugged it in to the mains and switched it on, at first all looked good, it lit up and displayed the Apple logo, however after about 20 seconds the screen went blank and nothing else happened.  I pressed the power button again and the Apple logo reappeared, again for about 15-20 seconds.  It does nothing else and isn't charging.
Having read other posts about performing a factory reset, I plugged the phone into my computer but it doesn't come on at all (not even the Apple logo).  The USB port and cable work as they charge my iPhone4 fine.  This means that Windows/iTunes are unable to detect it is even there so I can't turn it on to perform a reset.
Any advice?  Shorted battery?
Thanks!

    Hello i_rath
    You would need to restore your iPhone by following the steps in the article below. You would need to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. The version of iOS that will be installed will depend on what version of iTunes you are running.

    Did you force it into recovery mode to restore it?

    If you use Recovery Mode and had no success, them you should seek help at an Apple Store. Make an appointment at a Genius Bar and have the Apple Tech take a look at the iPad.

  • HELP! iPhone 3G stuck on apple logo and occasionally switching to yellow screen, cant connect to computer!

    Hello everybody,
    A few days ago my iPhone 3G 8GB was working fine, i believe the battery went dead and as i charged it up again it was stuck on the apple logo.  I plugged it into the computer and no response, i tried rebooting the iPhone and putting it in DFU mode, but none of them worked.  Occasionally the iPhone switches from being stuck in the apple logo to a yellow screen, about every 10 minutes.  PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    First of all, make sure that it is fully charged (charge for at least 30 minutes). Second, hold down the home and the sleep/wake button simultaneously for 10 - 20 seconds until the apple logo appears. If nothing works, try to backup the phone (if possible) and put the phone into recovery mode. To get that, open itunes and connect the phone to the computer. Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time. As soon as the screen goes black, release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You can now restore the iPhone using iTunes.

  • My iPhone is flashing the apple logo and won't switch on or off

    Hey I have just updated my iPhone 4 and it is flashing the apple logo, I don't own a mac only an iPad is there any way of resolving this? I have plugged it in to a power source to see if that will fix it and nothing works !
    Also the round button is broken on the phone so this won't allow me to reset it :(

    Sorry, but connecting in recovery mode would be the only option before getting it serviced by Apple or visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

  • Iphone 4s stuck in apple logo and couldn't restore

    Hey guys,
    I woke up this morning with my iphone 4S stucked in an apple logo screen. I did put it in DFU mode and tried to restore which ended up in having errors: 1603, 1611, 1604, 21. each of them in a different trial.
    Do you have any solutions on how to start it up?
    It doesn't have jailbreak or any 3rd party software on it. It was running iOS6.0

    I also discovered that If I push it to DFU and then use Recboot to exit it it will show 4 lines from the console over the logo and than screen turns black until the battery will die.

    My ipod is stuck on the apple logo and won't let me connect to itunes to reset it what do i do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPhone 4S on iOS7 is stuck on Apple Logo, and it goes off, then back to Apple Logo again for hours. Pressing home button together with sleep button does not help. Plugging the phone to Mac and restart does not help either. What do I do?

    My iPhone 4S on iOS7 is stuck on Apple Logo, and it goes off, then back to Apple Logo again for hours. Pressing home button together with sleep button does not help. Plugging the phone to Mac and restart does not help either. What do I do?
    Have not backed up for months, so prefer not to lose the data.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Click the Update or Restore button that iTunes offers.
