iPhone not functioning

    I have an iphone 4s, was just using it for text messaging and skype today and put it down; I picked it up after lunch and it's not turning on or off.

    The only screen that appears is the iphone screen that appears when you plug your iphone into itunes (the iphone is not attached to itunes, and hasn't been for at least a few days).

    I turn it on and off, but this screen is all that ever appears.

    Anyone have any idea what's happening?

    I'll take it to the store, of course, except that I live about 10 miles away and they're closed right now. Just wondering why this is happening? Phone hasn't been damaged physically or anything like that.

    It's in recovery mode. To exit it download a program called tinyumbrella and with the iPhone connected to the pc a button should be visible that says exit recovery

    Thank you gull

    What's it... recovering from?

    After I do this, should I take it back to the shop and ask them to do something, or leave it be?

    I don't know how or why it went into recovery mode but i doubt it's anything to worry about and there's no need to bring it back to the shop

    If you have internet plug it into itunes and download the latest software onto it. Try holding down the power button and home button at the same time for 30 seconds first though.
