so I unplugged it did the same thing a few times and now my pcs (i did try it in multiple systems) won't recognize the iphone I've searched around and what not online and multiple forums and nobody has come up with a good solution on how to get the iphone to be recognized by the usb
i can get the screen to the plug into itunes screen but still no luck

any suggestions? when I get it in dfu mode or recovery mode i still get the usb device not recognized error
i was wondering if i replaced the dock connector could this possibly fix the issue, i should be able to get all the parts and what not from ebay or amazon for under 15-20 bucks
anybody ran into this issue before?
thanks for your help in advance

it's not bricked,

put it in a drawer for 24 hours, wait for the battery to drain, then plug into iTunes, it will recognize it.
