Iphone won't switch back on - can anyone help?

Hi, have an iphone 3G - was working fine, but forze earlier today and I ended up switching it off and now it won't switch back on again. I've tried home and power buttons - the silver apple logo comes up, then nothing, goes to blank screen again Have also tried to get onto iTunes to see if device is found - no luck. It's not being found when I plug in to charge - screen just blank.
can anybody help?

An iPhone has to have the battery charged to some degree for a Reset to work. If after charging the iPhone a bit, try the Reset. If the Reset does not work, then you could try the mentioned Recovery Mode Restore. But even for a Restore to work, an iPhone needs to have the battery charged some first. If the Recovery Mode Restore does not work you could try a DFU Mode Restore.

The No Service means there is a problem with cellular service. You mention wifi in your title. Which is it you are having trouble with? What happens when you switch on and off as you state in your post? Are you saying that wifi does not connect while at home either?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

i can't restore my iphone 4..keep error 3194 can anyone help me out?

If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore.
If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore.
If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above.
If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
