Force restore will not work; iTunes does not "see" phone

Following the directions on iFixit I can get my 1st Gen iPhone to display the connect to iTunes graphic, but when I connect it to my Mac iTunes does not "see" the iPhone, so I can't restore it. I tried two different USB ports and two different USB cables to be sure the issue wasn't the connection (and anyway both ports and cables work fine with my iPad).

Suggestions?

Have you tried plugging it into a wall? Does it charge? If it doesn't your dock connector may be bad. If that is not the case I wouldn't know.

Hope it helps!

Actually, having said that it doesn't appear to be charging consistently.. loose connection? Is that something I can replace, or is it on the logic board?
