So I got this T999 as a present in 2012 October-ish and I moved to the UK a couple months back and now of all times it does this to me! It was acting up for a couple of days, randomly turning off (i.e. going black suddenly) and sometimes not turning on unless I took out the battery and put it in again (it occasionally did weird stuff like this when I used the camera) and while I was googling how to fix this problem, it turned off again and that was it, it never turned on again.
Replacing the battery did nothing, the Samsung centre don't want to touch it the second they see the serial number is American, every other mobile repair shop has told me the same thing "We can't fix American Samsungs", I've left it with people overnight twice and neither of them could do anything to turn it on.
I don't understand why they're being all phone racist on me - I was assuming all S3s are the same but clearly that's not the case and now I have no idea how to fix this because no one is willing to look at it!
Short of buying a new phone, anyone got any ideas on how to fix this thing? Or does anyone know any place in London that can fix an American Samsung? Otherwise I'd really love some info on how to fix this on my own...
