No, I can't turn it on, the only thing that the phone do is show the charging screen when it's plugged and that's all.

Return to seller or Samsung if you haven't voided you warranty, but if they can't turn it on then they won't know that it's rooted...

This has just happened to me, except I put my phone on charge as I do every night, and this morning nothing. Dead phone.
Tried different battery, different charging lead, different button combinations...nope, my S3 Mini is dead
I was hoping it would last until the Nexus 6... may have to see what other phones are on the market instead now.... gutted!

Don't bother turning it on! Claim your warranty by sending it to Samsung and they will fix it since they won't know it's rooted if the phone doesn't turn on

i can't unlock it

Today I noticed that the power button does not work because when I can not unlock, but to remove and replace the battery automatically turns on what I'm thinking is that the power button got stuck
any idea?
Going to need alot more info. Where you running stock or custom rom?
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium App
im not running a rom, i stay in stock rom.
all started when I received a text message and read the message, when I wanted to block it and not work the power button. I have noticed that sometimes it works with a few strokes with my fingers but it shows me if I turn off the phone. I believe that the power button is stuck

when I put the battery automatically turns on, but if I keep pressing the 3 buttons combo I can enter recovery mode, but don't works power button in this mode =/
I'd try an clean around the button and if that works
I am not sure thus will do anything but if you can't get your phone running at all you can try to Odin flash stock to see if maybe it clears the problem. If you cab get into recovery then the power button works for something

yes that's the problem, i cannot get to enter to download mode Because the phone will automatically turn on
Try this. Take battery and sim out. Plug USB in. Hold volume up and down. Put battery in.

Inzombie, what exactly did you do? I have been having the same problem for quite some time...I was able to get into download mode using a program I found on the internet, and I flashed back to stock but the power button is still messed up, it doesn't work at all. What exactly did you do
i know this is an old topic but I have the same problem. I got this phone from a friend and now I cant use the power button. I have taken it apart twice now trying to fix it with no luck. I know it isnt the rom. The button is "stuck" but it still clicks. I know it is stuck because it will never turn off. Once battery is in it turns on, and for 3 button recovery, I only need to hold the vol rocker.

[Q] power button

I own a LG thrill and I recently went from cyanogenmod to stock gingerbread and about a week after my power button stopped working. I assume it's a hardware problem. Worse yet is my phone shut off on me and i have no way of powering it on. Is there any way of powering my phone back on to use it? i have seen this question posted multiple times but everybody who asked it isn't running a stock rom and there phone isn't actually turned off. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Plug it in to charge and when the lg logo pops up, unplug it. It should power on

Put it on charging first, I think it isn't bricked, either the battery is 0% or it is some kind of coma where the tab is on but the screen is not waking up, just hold the power button until it turn on.

Mine too, all of a sudden. Pressing power button doesn't work, and battery was at 95%.
Don't know what to do...
Carefully crafted on my Galaxy Note, for your eyes only
On ur pc, start up odin. Plug your tab into ur pc. And press power +vol down for 5 to 10 seconds. See if odin can detect ur tab. If it detects ur tab then ur tab is not bricked yet.

Did you solve your problem? If you did how do you did it? My GT has the same problem.
Mine won't switch on either, but if I plug it in it tries to charge then stops, then tries to charge again and just keeps doing the same thing over and over.
Anyone solve their issue?

Anyone ever consider the following that perhaps the battery just kicked it? I mean we are talking about a nearly Four Year Old Product now....

I agree with you Man, batteries have a 4~6 Year Life Line.
but maybe the problem in this thread was just a OS crash due to recent app installation activity.

I tried connecting it to my PC, nothing happens and flashmode/fastboot won't start. My Dad took it to my carrier while I was at school and he said they just turned it on with a special button combination which I'm un aware of. Phone works fine now.
