S3 stuck on "firmware upgrade enountered" screen?

i got it to boot up once today. it got to the main screen and even allowed me to start setting up broadband and my personal info but then shut off. I spoke to Samsung today and I guess i am going to send it back to them to try to work on it. i don't know what else to do with it, i cant find parts for it and i cant get the verizon store to work on it because i wasn't the original purchaser
 
That is promising.....it sounds to me like the battery is bad.

Did you get it working or send it to Samsung?
