Hope your phone is still on warranty.
Then give it to a service center/shop for repair.
If not ... ask for a "cheap" repair.
Sorry, but if it is a hardware issue, it may need to replace hardware parts.
Yup, bro that's a hardware issue, and you can do NOTHING about it unless you want to disassemble your phone. If you can disassemble your phone, it is simple- head for the area with the power button and im sure it'll just be slightly displaced from the button position. What you gotta do is just push it back into its place and VOILA. Happened to me once, have been through it and also successfully repaired my phone. If you can't do this, go ahead and flash a stock firmware on your phone and give it to samsung, IF IT IS STILL IN WARRANTY. Else, go for a cheap repair...

Messing around with sim and battery can work
A month ago I accidentally spilled some tea over my phone, and after taking out its battery, sim and microsd and putting it in a bowl full of dried rice and later letting it dry under a warm room fan for some hours, the only damage was that the power button stop responding at all. I guess the wires inside got corrosed or something and the button is now totally non-functional. So, how do I power up my phone if the battery has drained out / I want to change to a spare one / any other situation?
The answer: I really don't know what way is the exact way to power up the phone, but every time I just messed around with the components for a while and eventually the phone was turned on.
I'm talking about the sim card, the battery and the charger. Below are some of the ways by which I managed to get my phone booted up:
Remove the battery, reinsert and wait;
Remove the SIM card and reinsert the battery and then the SIM, and wait;
Reinsert the battery and then remove the SIM card, and wait;
Connect to a charger, reinsert the battery, reinsert the SIM card and unplug the charger;
Randomly press the Home button in any time you feel is right, during the steps above.
I can't remember what else I did because every time I just hyperactively messed around with it until it powered on, but it's been a month like so and I still didn't get it fixed, so generally these are the ways I use to power up my phone. I hope it will be helpful Good luck!

You might wanna repair that button mate. Any issues you may have with ur software would ultimately require the use of the Power button!

I can't even turn it on, nothing. No combos would do anything
ODIN was stuck for like half an hour to an hour, so i had to do a battery pull, now it won't even turn on, nothing, nada.
Anybody have had this happen before?

While I'm not 100% sure that this wouldn't cause a brick. I know that I've pulled my battery out during an odin flash with out bricking. Plug in the charger just to make sure.

You might try to get into download like this
1. remove batt.
2.plug usb into computer
3.put batt. in
4.hold volume down+up
5. plug usb into phone.
Then try Odin again
If that doesn't work you might try building a jig:

Good luck!
If all else fails, there's always the homemade jig method. I haven't tried it but lots have had success.

Its a true brick if you cant get in download mode or turn it on. The jig is for people that flashed wrong firmware or pulled battery out in odin and dont have working 3 button combo but the phone does turn on. I have tried a working jig with captivate that wont turn on and no working 3 button combos and had no luck. I have bricked a few captivates with ULF kernel and bad flash's. I do not use ULF kernels any more. Did you have ULF kernel loaded before you flashed?

Not true. My phone couldn't turn on at all. The screen remained black even when plugged into usb or a charger. Removing/replacing the battery did nothing. I plugged into usb, pulled battery, and held the volume buttons while inserting the battery, BAM dl mode.

I said if download mode does not work. If you try every way to get into download mode and it does not work or turn on then you have a true brick.
Same...
I've got the same problem. The jig method won't work...it says it right in the guide. Did you get anything to work?
I'm still not convinced this is possible without actual physical damage being inflicted through faulty charger/usb cable, shock, water, or otherwise... A rogue battery pull sounds a bit far fetched to cause this kind of damage, but you never know...
Download mode is likely the answer you're looking for. Figure out a way into it.

This is 100% possible to have a hard brick. Nothing but JTAG can revive the phone in this condition. I have the ability to bring a hard bricked phone back from the dead as well as a phone in any bricked state where a JIG won't work. Just pm me if you need help...

I just recovered my phone from what i believed was a hard brick, it would not power on using the 3 button method i pulled my battery and still nothing. so i did a little bit of looking around on the internet and came accross fractionalphones .com/?p=185 after following the steps i got back into download mode used odin and flashed my phone back to stock.
Hope this helps
I tried to upgrade to froyo using the odin method from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853950. After everything was successfully done my phone shut off and now it won't turn on. I don't get a battery charge screen or anything. The phone's just blank.....
First, Get the Shipping rom (pit and tar files) so you can ODIN back to stock
Be sure you have the newest version of ODIN
Then remove the battery, plug the USB to the PC.
Now put the battery back.
Press both vol keys (up and down) and hold.
That should get you in Download Mode.
If it does not work, take battery out, unmplug USB.
Put battery back and try again to go into download mode.
Now you put the wrong version of froyo, if your keys maps are changed you may be screwed
If so, good luck! You are gonna need a lot of research to see if you can save it
i think i'm screwed.....nothing is working
If anyone else could help me with this, it would be great. I'm in between a rock and a wall right now with my phone.
you flashed the wrong rom. You didn't know that, did you?

Hehehehe...I bricked mine yesterday. I disabled voodoo via Voodoo Toggle and waited for Linda to convert. I loaded up Odin and put in my pit & tar for JFD, which I always use, and hit start. I was on Nero v3 going to flash Nero v4 when it came out. I got a Fail part of the way through. The phone won't power on at all.....A popup says Windows can't recognize the device plugged into usb...
I think people are confusing things here and there...if your phone won't power on at all, you can't get help...you can't get into download mode to odin or recover it.
Like mine, for instance, there is no amount of times taking the battery out or doing this or that is gonna fix it..We need to read the post before we try to offer help...IF IT WON'T POWER ON how can people post ways to ODIN or RECOVER...

Well right now I'm simply trying to get the phone to turn on which it won't, I was not asking for help to odin or recover. I was trying to ask if anyone else had this problem and if my phone is totally killed or if there's a possibility that i can save it. But thanks for your 2 cents.
Me too
I had ordered Samsung Vibrant Unlocked from T-Mobile USA around a month back. I am well past the 30 day replacement now.
I Rooted it updated to Axura 2.2.5.9
After all the procedure got completed, I rebooted the phone and now it just won't start at all.
My piece is Hardware Locked wherein I can't get into the Recovery Mode, but can get into the Download Mode. But I am not even able to get into the Download mode now.
It just won't freaking turn on.
If I send it over for repair, as the phone is a rooted one, will I void the warranty ?
Please reply quickly. I am starting to freak out.
OK... I want to be the first to eat my words here!!!!!
I tried one last time...just now
I took everything out and only held the volume keys. I plugged in the USB cable to the PC and then to the phone & put the battery in and BAM!!!!! it came on in Download mode
This way has NEVER worked for me without holding the power button. This phone was in all senses of the word "DEAD". I figured I would give it a try with just the volume keys.

Different Situation
I have a similar problem with my Vibrant.
I reset my battery stats and also disabled VooDoo lagfix, and after i tried to reboot the phone, it froze on the vibrant screen.
I tried using soome of the methods that you guys posted before me, but then after i turn it on it shows an icon that there is a connection problem between the phone and PC.
I CAN turn on the phone, is there a way to just like reset everything? and if so how?
Thanks!

If your phone powers on at all, you should be able to get into DL mode. Follow the instructions on how to revert to stock via ODIN.
In reply to the OP, if you tried the download mode method:
connect phone to usb
pull out battery
hold both volume sticks
put in batttery
and the phone still does not turn on even after multiple tries , well you're a bit screwed. But, Samsung cannot detect if the phone has been rooted if it cannot even turn on. Just tell them the Kies Mini update bricked the phone.
omg leave ur phone on charger for 10 min, pull battery out when hooked up to charger put battery back in , let sit for few min pull battery out hook up phone to computer hold vol up vol down pop battery in , helped ? np this has been answered gazilion times in other threads
btw it takes few try this way to get it back up running so dont stop on first , hey .
If you have the phone!pc problem..connect to odin & see if your showing a COM port .... just flash pit & tar if you do. Without download mode

You're talking about a DIY Jig. A JTAG is completely different. They cost $150-300. You can pay to have a local repair shop jtag it for around $50 or send it to Samsung to repair/replace. I'm still trying to find out how much Samsung would charge for the repair if it's deemed out of warranty.
If your phone refuses to turn on no matter what you do and it gets warm or hot if you leave the battery in it, read on:
I hope my suggestion is not too late. I was in the situation before. I tried everything everyone said here and somewhere else. None of them works.
The reason that those methods don't work because you cannot get to download or recovery mode or even the pc-phone screen since your phone won't turn on. The reason that your phone doesn't turn on because the bootloader has been messed up. A jig will work only if your phone can be turned on somehow.
Three possible solutions:
1. Repair or replace it with T-mobile, or
2. Get someone to repair it with a riff box or other similar tool, or
3. Get the box and fix it yourself (not recommended if you are not familiar with electronic stuff.)
This is the link for the same problem you have; this guy bought the box and has his phone fixed himself. If you live in US, he may do it for you if you have no place to go. It does hurt to ask.

I know many have gone on saying, oh I hard bricked my phone, etc, but turns out it was soft bricked. So let me say, I've soft bricked my phone many times and recovered it using Odin trying out different ROMs.
So what happened tonight is I was using my phone, browsing the internet when it locked up, screen stayed on, no response. - Sure, no prob, just restart, it's happened before. I held down the power button and shut it off. But now it won't turn on again. Battery is fine, I tried it in another phone and swapped the other phone's battery into this one.
Plugging in a charger doesn't do anything. I can't check Odin, cause it there is absolutely no response from plugging it in, removing battery, plugging it in again, holding down power buttons while plugging in and inserting battery, etc. I've tried many ways of getting it to power up, nothing seems to be happening.
I was running Bionix 1.1, with no problems for a couple months, so I really don't think the ROM did anything to it. Think my hardware just took a dive? It's really strange, and I'm sad. This phone is just about to hit 6 months old.
Do you guys have any other ideas of something I could try? Maybe I'll even open it up and take a multimeter to it to see if power is at least going through the phone.
Help!
Thanks.
Hmmm... Maybe Try the jig and see if it responds (check the sticky on that)
If not, Then check with a multi-meter and check continuity check the usb, check if there is voltage passing through battery contact (continuity). this all fails, then i would dis-assemble and check components,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908211
here is a link on how to do that. The nice thing is you can check easier when all assembled. Also, If you do figure it is a component then Globaldirect.com does sell the pieces so you can replace.
Not much help but without really seeing the phone it is just guess work (and even seeing the phone it usually is guesswork as well )
Thanks Oka1.
I don't think the Jig is going to help in my situation. I'm not having an issue getting into Download mode. The phone won't power on at all. If I saw an image on the screen at all, I'll feel alot more confident. But nothing at all is showing.
I'll figure something out. I'll probably call up Samsung when I get to work tomorrow and pull the phone apart.
Thanks.

I've been in this spot before. Try, pull the battery, plug in the phone, hold the three buttons and at the same time push the battery back in. Should do the trick. It's been a long time since i've had to do it but I think those are the steps.
pull the battery and only hold down the volume keys, plug the usb in and put the battery back in...download mode..
Well... it's working again.
I did nothing other than pulled battery, sim, memory card and left it all apart overnight. I don't know what this causes, but after 8 hours, I put it back together again and it started working.
I had tried this over a 3 hour period before going to sleep and it hadn't worked, but somehow overnight worked..... sooooooooooo strange!
But thanks so much for the suggestion guys!
Hi,
I'm going to keep it as short as I can, just bought a vibrant and rooted in a nice way, then I tried to use odin to update from 2.1 to 2.2, it did it but then the screen goes black and it doesn't shows anything and when i say anything I really mean it, no battery when I plug it, and no brick message. Then I discovered that I used the wrong image to try and update it the one for the i9000
note:
i tried to put it on download mode, but as i said before it doesn't do anything is literally dead it, i think I'm going out of options i got no idea what to do anymore, PLZ SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME HOPE!!!

1) Go to radio shack, spend a few bucks and build a custom USB jig that will get you into download mode. The thread is here somewhere in the forums, search for it.

I had a bad cable once and had a odin flash go wrong..
Started out with download mode, but with no luck connecting to pc via 2 diff computers (not realizing it was the cable at the time) I kept messing around with it, sometimes connecting, then Odin screwing up again and eventually got to your point...nothing whatsoever, DEAD
After a while...called TMO and ordered a replacement...but didn't give up, I kept on with cable to phone, then pc...vice versa...battery in/out..and eventually out of nowhere it came back on..no idea how..one thing I do remember is reading to use vol up+down, but for me there was some weird combo where I think i started with up+down, then let go of up(kept holding down, or just used vol down)..can't quite remember...but don't give up..again mine was dead dead dead...somehow she came back...keep trying different things no JIG...

UnBrickable mod is way better than JTAG. You should check it out. JTAG works once. UnBrickable mod allows software based recovery always and works on a dead brick with no special tools once its applied.
There two videos on the portal now which mention it. I'd like to think people are using it.. after all, this mod doesn't just happen. It takes someone to put in the work to research it... ahem...
option 1
--------
1. remove the sim-card and the memory card
2. remove the battery
3. connect the USB cable to the computer and to the cellphone (still no battery).
4. press on both volume buttons (volume up+volume down)
5.while you press on the buttons enter the battery into the cellphone.
option 2
--------
1. connect the USB cable to the computer and to the cellphone
2. press on both volume buttons (volume up+volume down)
3. press and hold the power button
4. the screen will dim - keep pressing on the buttons (3 of them)
5. the screen will show up the cellphone-computer picture - keep pressing...
6. the screen will dimm again - keep pressing
7. the screen will show up with the vibrant logo
8. leave the buttons - now the cellphone should enter to download mode

Hello,
My SGS II I9100G won't turn ON. I didn't do anything, just leave it on (idle), after back to work, my phone is completely dead. At 1st, I thought the battery is dead, but I charged nothing show-up on screen, plugged into pc, nothing show-up on screen either. I borrow my friend battery, nothing also. It completely won't turn ON.
I didn't flashed into custom rom/kernel, just root it few month ago.
This thing suddenly happen. Help me guys!
But one thing I noticed, whenever I put the battery, few minutes later, I can barely feel hot at the back of the cover..

1) ODIN, KIES not detect my phone!
2) I tried log into download mode, nothing happen!
3) Pull the battery and put back on, nothing happen!
4) Plug the usb & combo download mode, put back the battery = nothing happen also
Return to service center. Borked. And hope they don't discover/check that you rooted it & make you pay for the repair/replacement.
really? someone pls help me

The only other possible thing you can try is a different battery... but sounds like you already tried that... so you'll have to take MistahBungle's advice; if the phone doesn't power on, there's really nothing anyone here can do to help you. What kind of miracle are you expecting???
Miracles post 500 dollars
otherwise clean battery connections .
Unless you can get to download mode their is nothing else that you can do except JTag machine/service centre .
Am i reading number four as you have tried usb recovery jig ??
