Hello mark of australia,

It sometimes takes a long time to start up, let it do its thing. And if the problem still persists you might have to take it to your local Apple Store.

Take care,

That is incorrect, a restore would be done by connecting to iTunes via micro USB (which is covered in the support article).

The OP has not stated as such, and that would be more the exception then the norm. To suggest taking it in would be premature, however since the OP has not responded it is probably a moot point now.
