Anyone have a quick solution?
My iPhone permanently shows the apple logo you get when turning on phone and cannot clear it, turn off phone or otherwise.
It may eventually run the battery down but hasn't shown any signs of doing so yet.
Phone not recognised on Computer via iTunes and if you ring it it says cannot connect or some similar message.
Don't really want to strip it to remove battery and reset hoping it will work and nearest Apple shop is nearly some 100 miles away.

Currently using the Nokia N95 8GB to keep me mobile privately.
Could butcher works iPhone I suppose.

You can put the phone in DFU mode but you will need a Mac. Not sure if it will work on Windoze. Jules will be able to help you with the hardware. This will probably resolve it for you.
You will not find this info on Apples support site, makes their geniuses look really smart or maybe not.

If none of these solutions work. Call Apple .

Thanks Mick, will start looking at those solutions.

Johns problem resolved using solution one from my post above.

He was so excited he forgot to reply here.

Humble apologies I did indeed forget to post up.
Thanks for the Help.
