[Faecon]

Hi,

Can anybody help me ?
Problem : phone is dead. (s4 mini)

Already tried : adding new battery : x
button combination volume up/home/power : x

When I connect it to a pc : it beeps and I get Qualqum S-usb qdloader 9008 installed .
Connecting with "kies" or odin doesn't do anything ...

Welcome to the forums.

Did anything happen to the device, like a fall?

It was probably updating (that's what my girlfriend says)

when I push long on one of the buttons ( power or volume") while connected to my pc it makes a beep, like it's connecting ... but nothing happens ...

The screen may be damaged. Have you looked I to local repair shops to have an estimate?

My S4mini (GT-I9190) has seem'd dead several times. It's always been at the end of a ROM update (after installing my favorite Xposed module, doing the required reboot, running into endless bootloops, removing and reinstalling the battery). The only thing that brings life back to my device has been to fully charge the battery (I have a cradel that charges a battery outside of phone) and then long press power button. It usually takes lots of press's, long and short. Eventually, it reboots and all is well again.
