Thanks a million Sravan. The iTune recognizes my iPhone. It even gives me the serial. Went ahead and updated. After the update the iPhone neither showed on the screen nor started. Same result for restore too. Any suggestion please

Using genuine cable

Using Microsoft windows.

Will look into your other suggestions
