Try restoring in DFU mode. Google "iPhone DFU" to find out how to do this.

If this doesn't fix it it sounds like you may have messed it up when you took it apart. Apple won't give you a refurbished iPhone if you took it apart.

What version iPhone do you have and when did you buy it? To what extend did you open it, did you just peek in behind the cover or did you actually take out components.

Also try DFU mode a few times before giving up sometimes it takes a few times to work.

Try holding down the home button and then plugging it into the computer. Btw, this will force a restore...buts it's better than what you have now...
