thought so. Thats good because we get a 2year warranty. Dont let anyone except samsung open it up.
Do you know what android version its on?
when you turn it on, does it do anything?
 
Yeah because its on old firmware and its an i9300, id bet its whats called Sudden Death Syndrome. Tell them that. Its a bug in the hardware and needs a new motherboard. Completely samsung's fault :beer:
 
Nice one. Good luck Welsh. Hopefully you didnt have anything important on the phone coz thatl be gone now but i cant see there being a problem with them replacing or fixing it for you. Make sure you update the new one to the latest version. One of the updates included a fix to stop this from happening :thumbup:
