Force your device to start using these instructions:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

If this doesn't help, try using the DFU mode:

Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds
Press the Home button while holding the Power button and hold both for 10 seconds.
Release the Power button, but KEEP HOLDING the Home button.
After about 15 seconds, iTunes will tell you it has detected a device in Recovery Mode.
Restore your device
