S3 keeps switching off and struggles to reboot.

[greedy86]

I've recently taken ownership of a Samsung Galaxy S3. I love it, it's streets ahead of my old (ancient) S2.

However, the last couple of days it has been turnings itself off. I've a funny feeling it keeps doing then when I throw it down on the sofa next to me (not hard I might add, just a gentle drop). The screen will go black, then it'll continuously flash the Samsung galaxy S3 screen....but i'll have to physically hold down the power button to get it to reboot.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? It's almost like a loose battery connection....but surely it shouldn't have trouble booting up if it's got power?

Thanks

Welcome to Android Central! There might be a problem with the Power button itself, which would require a trip to the repair shop.
