Help Vibrant screen Flashing

My Vibrant Galaxy S won't turn on. It flashes the Vibrant Samsung screen, turns off, then flashes the Vibrant Samsung screen again, and repeats itself. If I plug it in, It does the same thing except flashes the loading wheel and battery icon. I've been having charging issues for a while. I would have to turn off the phone, plug it in to start charging then it would work. After doing that I could get a couple of normal charges out of it, then I'd have to turn it off/remove battery again to start a charge. Recently I'd have to turn it off every time to start charging. Now It won't start at all, just flashes the battery icon and wheel when plugged in. Also it weird that when the phone is not charging, when i remove and re-insert the battery, the phone automatically goes to the Vibrant Samsung screen. I don't even have to push the power button to turn it on, just goes to that screen, flashes and repeats itself.

I have not done anything custom to this phone except the first firmware update. I don't know much about phones, and don't mess with them.

Any Ideas?
