My Iphone 3g wont turn on or charge.

So my Iphone 3g wont turn on or charge. It was completely dead and I charged it but all i get is the plug>electricity symbol and then it turns to a blank screen again even though it is currently plugged into the wall. Ive tried:
1) holding down the home and power buttons
2) rebooting my PC while the iphone is plugged in
3) holding the home button then plugging the iphone into the wall
all i keep getting is the plug>electricity symbol it seems to be different from all your other problems.....PLEASE HELP??!

SOURCE: iPhone 3G Error 0xE8000001

I just had this problem and it turned out to be... It didn't like my iPod cable. Switched to the iPhone cable and it worked.
Seems to be an iPhone 2.0 prob, or 3g prob, since I was using the iPod cable to sync my old iPhone just fine.

SOURCE: my iphone doesn't turn on!

For some reason I can't imagine you completely bricked your iPhone just by attempting the downgrade, but if you really can't revive it by trying the hard reset there seems to be a hardware issue with your board. There are iphone repair guides that show you how to replace it and parts are available on ebay.

Try using another cable or charger. A damaged charger or cable could cause it not to charge. 
Otherwise, contact apple or apple store for repair.

SOURCE: Shows fully charged (plug icon), but isn't taking a charge. A;ready tried reboot/restore.

Get a can of air and blow it into the 30-pin connector and headphone jack to clear the phone of dust and build-up. This should clear up the problem. I learned this from an Apple Store Genius Bar associate.

My iphone 3g is jailbroken 3.1.3,was working fine then one day after a text from a person it just suddenly shut off? thinking it was dead battery, i plugged it in, apple symbol came up and i left it to...

Unfortunately there is not a lot of support from Apple or the jailbreak community for iphone 3g, so there isn't really anything you can do to make it operational again.

My Iphone 3g wont hole a charge for any amount of time. I charged it for most of the night last night and it was fully charged at 7 this morning now a 9 it is almost dead

Your battery is deteriorating. Send it in to apple to get it replaced-
$40- 50. when back, fully charge and discharge 5-10 times, and do NOt leave it constantly plugged in.
