Hi guys,
I had my S3 on the charger overnight, as I usually do, with the phone turned on.
This morning I woke up and as usual the LED shows a green light, but the phone appears to be off..
No matter what I try, I can't get it to turn on now.. Also if I plug it back in, I don't get any LED showing..
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

can you go to recovery mode? (col up+home button+power button) if so, you can try wiping caches/dalvik cache.. better yet do a factory reset.. and if it still does not boot. IF you can go to download mode (col down+home button+power button), you can flash a stock firmware from sammobile.com but you have to have an account there first to download the fw.
I hope this helps
Hey guys,
I've had the battery out for around 2 hours now, and it still won't turn on. None of the key combos work (recovery, download modes etc..)
Any other ideas?
Dan
So anyone have any other ideas? I've ordered a jig, but that will take a few days to come, and I don't even know if that's the problem..
Really like to get this sorted today.. Just seems like it came out of nowhere!
Dan
Very strange situation if you have tried all above method. I don't know what else to tell you apart from take it to service centre. The Sorry mate...

lol.. I've had the battery out for half a day now. Not one method I try gets the phone to boot into anything at all.
Anyone? Still no luck :/
Logic says first step is to try a new battery .
Then try USB Jig .

Yeah. I actually tried someone else's battery tonight. Still no dice. Waiting for the USB jig to arrive. :/ if that fails I have no ideas..

I'm guessing that if they got the phone going, even though my binary count is 0, they might void my warranty due to using a custom ROM?

So, I had a go at making my own USB jig using a single 300k ohm resistor.. and either I didn't do it right, or the jig won't fix it

Check your settings.
Go into developer options and make
Sure " stay awake " isn't checked,
As this forces the screen to stay
when on charge
Sorry just re read your post

Which Rom are you using??
This problem started when I flashed the 3rd preview build of cm10.. after that I flashed back to stock ics but still the problem was there.
If you put the battery back in immediately after pulling it off, the phone will turn on again by itself.. you have to wait for some time and the put the battery back.

Go to settings-storage-other and tick everything. You will loose some data. Then reboot to download mod and flash firmware again. Now the problem is solved!

I noticed my s3 (JB - rooted for a long time) was on 5% battery but i didnt care so i kept on doing my stuff
ofc it had turned off, so when i plugged in the charger nothing happened, no battery logo, no charging LED. after 5-10-15 min still nothing.
so i tried
- booting it up
- recovery mode
- download mode
- took out battery and put it back in
- tested charger with different phone, not broken
no response to all of this!
my s3 was full of apps and running rly rly slow lately, maybe it bricked itself? im panicking right now and dont know what to do, pls help!

no, just now i tried with another battery from my friends s3 and it doesnt work aswell i think the s3 totally bricked on me.
no response to any action i take, could that be in my benefit? like with my official warranty, if they cant even turn it on they wont know that it was rooted right?
Nah if they can't turn it on then they will just wipe and flash bud, I think the service centre is your only option buddy.

Did that.. all in vain.. and also.. when I put it for charging.. the battery icon keeps flickering withiut me even trying to switch the phone on..
Had this issue once. Take out the battery for 5-10 minutes or more, then put it back in and let it charge for a few minutes before you try turning it on. If the screen still flashes, take the battery out longer.
This is why you shouldn't let it discharge all the way.

Or consider that the replacement battery may not be compatible with your phone. Is it an exact OEM replacement?

I tried the USB cable. The charger also but nothing is working.
I don't know how to start it.
Any type of help will be very appreciated.
Phone does not turn on when battery is <5%. Charge your phone using the original Motorola charger, preferably use wall charger for say 30 mins at least. If it does not work, try different plug point.

I have ordered for a factory cable. I am gonna try putting up a new ROM on the phone. Let's see if that works.
I recalled one more thing, before my phone got bricked, the day prior to that I used battery calibration application on my phone. Do you think that would have affected my phone?
So, I'm at work and I am unable to use my phone. Phone will not power on, I've held the power button for well over a minute in the hopes that it would restart but nothing. I was using the phone just fine today with no hiccups. I've tried charging the phone, but the light will not appear, so it does not seem to be charging. I've also removed the SIM Card, nothing as well. I've tried plugging it into a computer to see if it would sync, and yet again, nothing.
Any solutions?
I'm using the newest P.A.C. ROM, not even overclocked

I've looked at the phone under the brightest bulbs we have here, no indication of any of the sensors lighting up. It's really strange. I've been tinkering with ROMS for several years now and nothing like this has ever happened to me. You would think at least one of the sensors would light up.

I do not have a multimeter, I use to have one. When I get home I will use my standard wall socket charger and if nothing happens it is most definitely a hardware issue. Hopefully my AT&T store is open tomorrow and they can help me address the issue. If I get it on before then I will update this thread with a solution.
What caused this to happen?
