Any Advice?

[00Yoni]

So I found an iPhone and don't know if its 3G or 3GS, the iOS version or if its jailbroken. The phone is dead and wont charge. I connected it to a USB plug outlet and to a pc and the phone doesn't respond to it. Should I go to Apple or a cell phone repair shop? If I go to Apple and find out its jailbroken can they confiscate it?

Try holding the home and power for like 45 seconds at the same time, if that doesn't work, keep it plugged ion for like 2 hours, and try again, because it might have been dead for a while.

I found it yesterday and its been charging the whole day. Tried the 45 second thing but this screen just keeps coming back (http://www.redmondpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ipaddeadbattery.jpg -> i know thats an ipad but its the same screen)

Can I get some help here? I just wanted to know is the problem a serious hardware issue or a simple replacement of the USB connector?
