Ah, the ever failing HOME button. There are 2 S-shaped spring tabs that break and cause the home button to fail. This quite as bad as it sounds. I can type in a step-by-step but I think it would be best if you could actually see the steps on your computer screen. Here is an excellent tutorial (Youtube) that will give you step-by-step instructions. Go to Youtube.com then type: iPhone 3G Non Responsive Home Button. You can purchase the parts online (Iusually get mine from ebay). I hope this helps you! You'll be back in business in no time.

SOURCE: oh my god my iphone just quit working! black

OMG It's the end of the world.

Hold the Power Button and the Home Button for 15 seconds, the screen should turn off. If that doesn't work, connect it to your iTunes, hole the Home & Power Button for 10 Seconds, then release the Power Button, wait till it enters DFU Mode, you should be fine.

My iphone 3gs shut off and won't turn on... tried rebooting it but saw nothing. How long should I hold the "Home" button and the "Power" button?? If this doesn't work, what should I do??Please help...

If something isn't working right, restarting, force quitting an application, or resetting
iPhone will likely solve the problem.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
If you can't turn off iPhone or if the problem continues, you may need to reset. A reset
should be done only if turning iPhone off and on doesn't resolve the problem.
Force quit an application: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone
for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then press and hold the Home button
until the application quits.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
