My phone froze and now won't turn on anymore?

[MacaroniUK]

I have a samsung galaxy s3 mini. I was just in the middle of texting my friend when it suddenly froze and it wouldn't show any kind of reaction when I tried to type or press any buttons. I then took out the battery after about 5 minutes of waiting, as I saw no other way to turn it off and now it won't turn on anymore. I already changed the battery and my old battery works completely fine in my mum's phone... Please help?

Welcome to Android Central! How long did you hold the Power button for? Press and hold it for at least 15 seconds, and see if that powers it on. If not, then try booting into Recovery and wiping the system cache partition, which won't erase any personal data: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...ing-into-recovery-mode-galaxy-s2-s3-tab2.html
