So, my Galaxy S4 is totally unresponsive. It won't turn on or even charge.
The backstory:

***However***, I read incorrectly and held all 4 buttons down (power, volume up, volume down and home).
Now the phone is just black; it won't turn back on or do anything. The only thing it ''does'' do is show up as a recognized device on my PC.
I have never connected it to the PC before, so Windows installed some form of driver. Whenever it's connected or disconnected from the computer, the PC makes the regular Windows sounds as if the phone is recognized—but nothing pops up.
