LG Optimus Speed — LG Optimus 2x - Won't turn on or enter recovery mode, fully charged

Hi all, I've never posted on a tech forum before so forgive the language.

I've had my LG Optimus 2x for a year and a half and yesterday the volume stopped working. I would turn it up and it would stay on silent. I decided to restart the phone. Whoops. It hasn't turned on since yesterday. If I plug it into my wall charger and turn it on, it comes up with the battery screen and charges, it is fully charged. I can press the power button and it goes to the LG logo, but it won't go past that, and it will stay on the logo until I take the battery out. I have pressed power + volume down and the droid comes on and it looks like its going to reset and then it just shuts off again. I have tried power + volume up and it comes up with: "Recovery mode: This mode is for data backup at service center, please remove battery and place in again and power on to continue using device." So I can't even enter recovery mode -.-

Not sure where to go from here... My device is not rooted, and I just want to get a hold of some stuff in my internal memory, not crucial like photos or contacts, just stuff I'd like to have. Also, it is not recognized by my computer.

Thanks!

Hi Scott, as I said in my post, I can't do a factory reset. "I have pressed power + volume down and the droid comes on and it looks like its going to reset and then it just shuts off again."
