iphone stuck on itunes and lead pic

[brummie87]

My wifi decided to stop working on my iphone 4s, googled it and was told to do any software updates.. during the update my phone turned off and when it came back on it was stuck on a pic of the iTunes logo and lead... its now unrecognisable on iTunes and ive followed a few youtube vids to try and restore it, my laptop makes the sound when I plug the iphone into it but iTunes wont pick it up.... any ideas?? Thanks!

Use recovery mode to restore it.
Here's a link to the instructions: If you can t update or restore your iPhone iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

Thank you but that doesn't work either =(

Try DFU mode: DFU Mode for Dummies iPhone Forum

I saw somewhere else that setting up a new account on a Windows PC and restoring there helped as well.

And here's something else to take a look at: iPhone iPad or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

Have you tried resetting network settings? To do so, go to Settings>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Let us know if this works.

I was having the same problem with my 4s.I did the hair dryer heat fix,only worked for a few days,then the wifi went out again.So I took it to Apple Store to get their say on this problem.Troubleshooting it,they found out the wifi chip needs to be replaced.Cost to fix it is 200 dollars,so I did the dryer fix again and trade it in to a new iPhone.They gave me 105 dollars for trade in.
