i had that once, it took me ages to figure out what was wrong but i finally did.

i held down the power button and the home button and release them both as soon as the screen goes black otherwise it will turn on again.

Plug it into the computer. If it connects, great! If it doesnt, hold down the home button until you hear the usb conect noise into the computer, which usually takes about 10seconds.

Then update itunes to the latest version, then the software. Then create backup by right clicking your iPhone's name on the side.

Then restore. If it comes up with an error then do the same thing again but restore it on another computer.

Hope this fixes your phone 🙂
