iPhone not recognized by computers

I recently jail broke and unlocked 2.2 on my iphone. Its not 3g and I'm unsure if it is a 1g or 2g. I was having problems with Cydia and I read that running quickpwn solved these. I was running quick pwn (on mac) and I reached the point where I needed to put it in to recovery mode.

While I was putting it into recovery mode it got disconnected. The actual cable didn't get pulled out. The cable just kind of got bumped a little and I got an error message saying the phone couldn't be detected and I heard the little beep that it makes when it gets disconnected.

I tested it on two of my PCs and this is where it starts to get weird. My one PC didn't detect it. I tried it on another PC of mine and it didn't detect it and then when I was getting ready to disconnect the phone it briefly synced to the pc but then dropped off again. I went to Best Buy and tested it on one of their machines with one of their cables and I got nothing again.

If I plug the phone into a wall charger it will charge. I plugged the phone into a speaker dock of mine and I get music and I can also control music from the dock.

I've looked all around and I can't seem to find anything similar to my issues out there. The guy at Best Buy was telling me he thinks that the connector on the phone is going bad and I tend to think this too. I still wonder if there is anything I can do to try and get the phone running with my notebook again. Any info on where I need to look or go for help would be greatly appreciated.

I did and I've got nothing. I should have elaborated on that. I also restarted the computer, shut off I-phone, rebooted phone, and everything else I could think of.

Yeah I tried a different cable on a different PC. Nothing, I went into system preferences on my mac and it doesn't even recognize that its hooked to the computer. It also isn't sending any power to the phone. It always draws power when recognized and I haven't been able to get that. What is weird is that I can get power from the wall. Earlier I was able to get my speaker dock to recognize and play back via my phone. I just tried it again and now I'm getting nothing. Im starting to think the dock connector is about to be DOA.

Any one have any recommendations for places to send this out to have it repaired? I know it is under warranty but being a jail broken phone pretty much screws me I'd imagine? Should I try and see if apple will do anything for me?
