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.

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.
Download the latest iTunes to your computer and reset the iPhone. Then re-sync it.
Reset
To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. During this time, a red "power off" slider may appear and the screen may go black, but do not release Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
If iPhone won't turn on, or the display freezes or doesn't respond

1. Remove Sim Card
2. Hold in 'Home' button and 'On/Off' button together until Apple logo appears
