nikki, which iPhone do you have? have you tried a reset? Hold the sleep/wake button at the top right and the home button at the bottom center at the same time. Hold them both until the screen goes black. Wait until the Apple logo appears. When that happens, you can let go.

Without knowing which generation iphone you have we can't give the exact answer but it sounds like you have disconnected or damaged the dock connector. You will need to look through the devices to the right and then select the phone/guide you need. There are differences in 3g/3gs/4g so you will need to use whichever guide, open your phone and check the connections to the motherboard and if that doesn't work you may need to replace the dock connector.

I am unsure what any of that is and how to do it. I am baffled and have no money, so I cannot go to the apple store to check it. What do I do?
