error 9 iPhone 4S

Hi, the other day my iPhone 4s suddenly turned off and started to flash the silver apple logo. I tried to restore it, and when it goes to restore the software I get the message. Unable to restore iPhone, and unknown error has occured. Error 9. I have tried removing the sim, changed usb ports to no avail. Anything I can do besides getting a replacement?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1

Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
