The problem is it doesnt want to switch on. If I try and switch on the phone it goes immediately to the screen that shows plug into computer and shows support.apple.com/iphone/restore.


Get support from Apple directly -> Get Support or call Apple in your region see -> Contact Apple for support and service or check -> here for more support and assistance.
