Try blowing out the connector on your iPhone - sometimes dust can interfere with the connection of the pins. The hook it up to a power source, and wait a bit to see if it will start charging (wait at least 15 minutes or so - it can take a bit to display the Apple after the battery runs out).


If it is still not working, you are going to have to take it to the nearest Apple store or Authorized Apple Dealer, since your battery is fully discharged.


Good luck - let me know if the blowing out works!


Cheers,
