IPhone won't charge... Does anyone know how to fix this?

Question

Well i think that's the problem anyway..Here's the story:
I got pretty caught up playing a game on my phone when the little msg flashed "20% battery life left" or however that goes. I figured hey its late I'll just charge it when I'm done and go to bed. Well when I woke up the screen was white and the phone was frozen. So I pulled a hold the power button down + spring board till the thing went black but now it hasn't gotten out of its black screen (completely shut off not a "lit black screen") I figured it was out of battery completely so I left it on the wall charger for a few hours came back and it was still in its coma.
Then I looked at every possible Support page applicable to my situation via Apple.com and even some off site pages, nothing. iTunes, doesn't recognize anything being plugged in, my computer doesn't acknowledge a device plugged into the computer when I plug it in via the USB dock, the phone wont respond if I hold any of the buttons down in any sequence what-so-ever, the screen is just off.
I've had this phone for a month (less actually) and I love it. I'm a sucker for the games though its about 75% of what I do/use my phone for. I've never dropped it, had it anywhere near water/heat or anything that could potentially harm the phones hardware.
I know there's an easy solution just going to the Apple store and having them replace the phone but It really would be nice to be able to fix it on my own and see if I can save all if not some of the Data I've collected over the short period of time (which is a lot since I never had a camera on my phone... and I don't exactly have any of my contacts saved in any other place)
Thank you in advance, and I hope this is the right place for this.

Hey skyshade13,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.
