    How old is it? The 3GS was originally released in 2009, so I would say it's a battery issue more than anything else.

    The same thing happened to one of mine. I left t charging all night and nothing happened. I plugged it into itunes and it was recognised in recovery mode, so I restored it, then charged it up, and it works since.
