Why won't my Galaxy S3 turn on after a factory reset through settings?

Galaxy S3 wont turn on after a factory reset through settings

I just got a galaxy s3 last night by the original owner, they didn't delete there personal information, so I did a factory reset, since then LED light wont turn on to show its taking a charge. The only way I can get it to do anything it to take out the battery, drain the excess power by pressing the power button,& replacing the battery. Instantly it vibrates once, and flashes to a black screen. In the upper left hand corner in blue it says Recovery Booting... after that it just shuts off
Please help

Maybe Factory Reset corrupted System data Or Factory Reset is unusable Is this phone rooted? If yes, then owner deleted factory reset data :-(

Return it to whoever you got it from, assuming that you bought it. If they opted for the carrier extended warranty then it should be covered by the carrier
