if you cant get to download mode, then something is likely wrong with the hardware. good news is that if you have insurance coverage, then they wont likely be able to tell that its rooted. This might be a fruitless venture, but have you tried connecting to it via adb?
 
If you can't boot into download or recovery modes this is going to be a very difficult one to solve.

This really sounds like it might be a hardware failure :o

I'll do some digging around.

Try this and see if you can get into download mode:

First shut down your device, then power on by simultaneously pressing the power button, home button and volume down key. Now you will see download mode

If you can let us know.......:)
 
Contact samsung, if its still under warranty they will fix it, and if its a hardware failure, which it sounds like it wont cost you anything but time.

I had a prevail that I had to send back to them they fixed it and sent it back.
