Hi there, hoping some of you guys can help. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note that will currently not boot in any way (normal, download or safety mode), wondering if anyone knows what could have caused this or how it could be fixed?
It started a couple of weeks ago when I was watching a YouTube video in the morning. The phone had been fine previously, and the alarm on it woke me up, the YouTube app worked fine, I selected a video and started watching it. About halfway through I needed to exit out of the app to to get to my bus ticket app, but the phone wouldn't respond to any input. The touchscreen wouldn't react to let me pause the video, the volume buttons wouldn't allow me to turn it up or down, the home button wouldn't take me back to the home screen, the screen wouldn't lock, and holding the lock button didn't bring up a menu to turn it off. Because I was in a rush I was forced to take the battery out of the back of the phone and reinsert it to get it to reboot. Then when I turned it on it got stuck on the Samsung screen for about 5 minutes until I decided it wasn't going to go any further and took the battery out again.
Since then the thing won't start at all. I've tried two different batteries with it, and neither makes any difference. The batteries both get warmer when charging, which I think means they must be holding a charge. I'm not sure what else to do. It was running the Android OS and has never been flashed or anything dodgy like that. Can anyone help?
Thanks for your time.
