Remove the battery for few minutes
I tried that, but it didnt help, I'll do it again now and be more patient...
Nothing, waited 12 min, plugged it to the power, no battery recharging sign. Tried to turn it on, nothing...
EDIT: it's very hot around the camera now... (still completely dead tho)

I think your phone is completely dead now.
Send it to Samsung repairs if your phone is still under warranty. They will probably change the motherboard.

You can try to use USB jig (although i really doubt it will work.
Your problem looks like a typical dead motherboard.
Sent... What do you guys think are the odds that they can find out that it was rooted and with a deodexed rom / theme?
Just throw it into the wall and phone will be puzzle.

If USB jig fails to work, then there is no way for them to find out anything.
After two weeks they came back to me saying that its the logic controller that is oxidized, which for some reason isnt covered by the warranty, so id have to pay 200 euro for it....:crying:

Did you flash any custom ROMs or is your phone completely stock?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
First thing to do is to check the battery condition.
Put the phone on charge, then plug in the battery. Is there any heat as it charges?

yes there is heat .. i don't think the battery is dead .. when i removed the battery it was on charge and fully charged ..
sorry sorry there is no heat tell now
You have no recovery mode to try a factory reset .
In which case you need a service centre .
jje
so that's it i have to return the phone for the second time ..
and what is about the battery heat there is no heat does that mean the battery is dead or what

I just tested it and apparently no, won't turn on or go into either recovery or download mode.
You might get lucky and its just a faulty battery or your phone might really be dead. Either way your all set as its under warranty...

Hi everyone,
Recently I got a SE x10min pro and since it was new I didn't even get to root it, so we could say that it was intact.
Two days ago, after having charged the phone for a whole night, the battery started draining really fast up to the point that it was fully drained (lasted less that 4hs). When I got home, I tried plugging it in so it could charge and I noticed that the led wasn't turning on. I tried both, the AC and the PC method and nothing. So, I would say that it's a brick
I cannot change it because it was a gift from abroad and before taking it to SE I thought that here I could find some help. Has this happened to anyone? Is the cell really dead?
Please help :S
BTW I have tried reading different posts but I couldn't find a solution for this because I tried pushing the back key and plugging it to the pc and nothing. I also tried pressing the power ker+center key and nothing.
Have you tried to plug it into the mains charger and leave it on charge for some time ? ive seen people posting about similar problems before and one of the fixes is to leave it charging for quite a while
By now it has been charging from the AC for almost 2 days non stop and no changes
Thanks anyways
Omething obviously fried the battery.
Try a new one?
Hi, thanks for the answer. I though about the battery being the problem and I am going to try it out asap but shouldn't the device turn the led on anyways? I just don't want to spend money on a new battery for my brick.
Do you know about that?

Maybe i got the same problem, about the LED turning on.... It might need a little bit of your battery, since it´s dead it can´t turn on the LED. I found a couple of threads on other forums talking about connecting our battery to the wires of an old charger, some kind of a electroshock

have you guys tried diconnecting the batt...?
Yes, i have unplugged the battery connector, connecting usb and repluging it while pressing the Back button, also i've tried plugging it after a few minutes rest, neither work.
How could i know if my battery is dead?

A though nut to crack.
Tried leaving it for a few hours charge?
Turned off.
That helped me once.
I´ll try to find out what is what in the connector in terms of + and - .
To measure it .
I leave it charging all night, i've tried with another USB cable and doesn´t work. Maybe i will go to a service center on a few days... But i wanted to do it by myself
Sorry dude.

Got a link?
Sorry, no link, i went to an underground service center, they said my battery was definitely dead and they sold me another Mini's battery, from a broken phone, for $25 USD. I was happy. BUT TODAY I GOT THE SAME PROBLEM!! MY PHONE IS DEAD AGAIN!! I suppose there is another problem that burn, kill, overcharge or something else my battery. Got no warranty with S.E. I don´t know what to do.

This sounds like hardware failure. If the above two actions do not show signs of life, it sounds like a hard brick.
Pull battery and wait some hours. Then put battery back and try the above two things again, and anything else you can think of to try to get some signs of life. If not, then warranty repair or replacement is in order.
Edit: actually hardware failure could be battery failure. You need to eliminate that possibility before you send or take it in.

Hi Creepyncrawly,
thanks for your response..do u suggest getting a new battery? I have an external battery charger and the battery was in it all night.
also, would AT&T charge any bucks on replacements? I have purchased this phone from Best buy an year ago...so I guess I shall be going to them for replacement?

If you're under contract with AT&T, you have a one year warranty from them. Otherwise, the warranty falls back on Samsung. I don't know how Best Buy figures into the picture.
See if you can borrow a good battery to see if that is the problem, maybe from best buy, or an AT&T store, if they have one on hand.

Thank you, I will try and test it with another battery.
I was driving and my phone was in my pocket. There is no way it was hit or got wet, I was driving whole time. Next time I took my phone, it was off. I tried to press power button and also hold it, nothing happened. I though my phone was stuck (never did it before) so I pulled out my battery, waited 10 minutes, put it back in and tried again. Nothing. I also had charger in my car and tried with that, nothing happened. No LED light, no screenlight, no vibration, nothing.
Now few hours after I am home and started to check whats wrong with my phone. I tried with original charger, nothing. My girlfriend also has S3 so I tried with her battery, nothing. She put my battery into her phone and noticed that it didn't go on. Funny thing is that I took my phone off charge this morning and phone was on for maybe 4 hours before this "death" happened. I took my multimeter and checked voltage. It was 0. Not 0.4 or 2.1 but 0.000. I checked my girlfriends battery also if my meter was broken but I got normal value from her battery. I plugged my charger into my phone and left it for 15 minutes. I tried to check voltage again and it was still 0.
Question is, did my MB broke and created short circuit resulting emptying my battery completely or did my battery flip and broke my phone at the same time? Also, are both cases under normal warranty and will Samsung still repair/replace my phone even if I had it rooted and installed MIUI? Reason I ask this is that my phone won't be sent to samsung for nothing and that they won't ask me to pay for shipping and investigating problem (I don't even want to know their hour wages for this).

Broken motherboard suggests physical damage = no warranty.
Rooted and custom rom = no warranty
Will Samsung see its been rooted ??
Boots to download mode ??

But funny thing is that my phone didn't take any physical damage, it has never falled from big height (maybe something like 10-20cm and always to soft surface like carpet). It was working when I put it into my pocket and was broken when I took it. I was in the car whole time, not moving from drivers seat.
I'm not sure if Samsung will see if it is rooted since phone doesn't boot at all (tried with working battery). No vibration, no LED light, no screenlight. It's like trying without battery.
Do you think I should try and send it to Samsung or just throw it to trashcan?
If the motherboard is DOA then they won't try to fix it, just replace it and your battery (if the battery is under six months old). Well worth sending for warranty, at worse you'll pay the postage and refuse the repair if they try to charge you.
send it in, only option
Agree suck it and see .
jje
My phone and battery are over 1 year old so no warranty for my battery. I just though maybe problem is at on/off switch but then again it doesn't explain my empty battery. I am now charging my battery on my girlfriends S3 and seems like it is charging so I guess problem is on my phone only. I will take my phone to local shop and they will send it tomorrow to Samsung. Thank you all for fast answer, lets hope best that they will switch whole motherboard and wont notice rooted phone.

Hello,
I am experiencing the same issue as well with my phone. I have left it on charge overnight and the phone stopped working. I have tried all the steps above but without any luck. If I take the phone for repair as you advise, are there any charges involved? And if they are, how much is the average cost for me to be ready for it and avoid getting a heart attack.
Thank you in advance for any replies.
If covered by warranty then there should be no charge, SDS is due to Samsung problem.
But if warranty is not available then allow £200 for a new motherboard.

Well with the situation that I have with the phone at the moment, is it even possible to detect the root?
If the motherboard is completely dead then no, they won't find root (root alone doesn't invalidate warranty in the EU). The only problem might be if JTAG restores bootloader and flashed counter.

Try to charge it again, if you can test the battery-would be a good idea too, but it sounds most like hardware problem.. So go on and ask for your warranty

Is the small LED light working? Should be red, or green? If not, its mostly motherboard issue.. Its a shame to go to another country for warranty, isnt there some service in your country that can repair it?
