Iphone 3gs shut down and now wont switch on help!!

My 18 month old iPhone 3GS won't turn on. I had the screen replaced in an Apple Store on Tuesday, and was advised to reset it, as a new phone, because it would cut off mid conversation.Which I did Tuesday, too, losing everything, because the advise was NOT to use the backup. (All the software was upto date as I checked before handing it over in Store).
This morning It won't turn on, and I know the battery isnt dead. I've tried simultaneously holding the on/off and home button for minutes at a time, it won't connect to iTunes, nor will it register in the charger. I've even loaded iTunes on to my husbands computer, and the phone is still not registering!
I've trawled the internet for advice and tried every suggestion I've found, but it's still just blank.
I need my phone, I can't get to the Apple Store til next week. Was my £80 new screen wasted money?
Here's hoping someone can help me.....thanks in advance
Niki

I'm guessing whoever installed your screen didn't install it properly. I'd take it back to them.
You could try Recovery Mode... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Why would you do that when your phone is updating?
Your phone is in recovery mode If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Tried to update to ios7, phone was restored and now wont activate?

tried to update to ios7, phone was restored and now wont activate?

You have run into Activation Lock, a security feature of iOS 7 designed to prevent activation of lost and stolen iPads. there is no way around Activation Lock. You need to know the Apple ID and password used to set up the iPad originally.
What do you mean when you say the original Apple ID is disabled?

It's not uncommon for it to not work the first time and sometimes, you have to try it a few times. Turn off your antivirus software and your firewall while you are trying to restore the iPad. Enable them again after you restore.
If that still won't work, post back with detailed information as to what exactly does happen as you go through the process.

Something is wrong with your charger or cable.
If it works with another charger, then it is not the iphone

Have you tried resetting your device: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the "Slide to Unlock" screen redisplays, see if your issue is resolved.

what can i do???

Delete the shortcut you have at the moment and then create a new one as follows: 
#Use Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. 
#Right click '''firefox.exe''' and choose '''Send To''', then '''Desktop (Create shortcut)''' 
Bear in mind that you're using an BETA version of Firefox and you're likely to encounter similar issues in the future.

My ipad was accientally turned off whilst it was updating and now I can't get it to start up.

Hello there,
My ipad was accientally turned off whilst it was updating and now I can't get it to start up. Please can anyone help?
Thanks

Try a force-restore:
1. Launch iTunes but do not connect the iPad.
2. Hold down the iPad's Home and Sleep buttons at the same time. This will force the screen to fade and the Apple Logo to reappear. KEEP holding the two buttons down until the screen goes black.
3. Once the screen is black, release the Sleep button but keep holding down the Home button while you plug the cable into the iPad. Contunue holding the Home button until the you see the iTunes logo and the picture of the cable on the screen. This may take up to 30 seconds.
4. iTunes should now detect the iPad and you can perform a Restore.

Our students have entered passcodes when downloading ios 7 update and now ipads are locked, help!

Our students have entered passcodes when downloading ios 7 update and now ipads are locked, help!

If the iPad is running iOS 7 and the kid set up Find My IPad, then you can't restore it without the kid's Apple ID and password. The Activation Lock is a feature that people whined and whined to get, and is causing exactly the sort of problems many of us predicted when people were clamoring for it. If you can't get the kid's Apple ID, you'll have to call Apple Support and ask if they have any sort of workaround. My guess is that they'll have to replace the iPad, but they may have a solution they don't talk about publicly.
This won't help for iPads currently locked for which you can't get the Apple ID, but if before you give out iPads to your students you go into the Restrictions and disallow changes to the accounts, they can't then turn in Find My iPad. Or you can set up Find My iPad yourselves to your own accounts and then lock the Restrictions so they can't set iCloud up to an account to which you don't have the Apple ID.
Regards.

When I tried to update my iphone 3gs verifying upload it froze, and is now flashing on and off. What do I do? It does not connect to a computer either. I WOULD LIKE A REPLY. ASAP!!!

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

Try the troubleshooting help here. http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/
You may need to restore your iPhone.
If it won't restore, try here. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If nothing helps, you need to contact Verizon for information for an exchange or refund. This is a user to user forum, not Apple.
Apple's policy for a refund or exchange is within 14 days of purchase. Verizon's policy may be different.
Definitely try restoring .. hopefully you won't have to go through the hassle of an exchange.
