For how long did you try to charge it? I've seen a completely-uncharged iPhone take up to 10 minutes on the charger before it would turn on...

Try taking it off the charger for a day and let the battery drain completely then attach to computer and see what happens.

Use a wall charger. It charges faster and I think I read somewhere that a completely dead iphone needs to be charged with a wall charger.
