My Gear 2 wont boot up.... just keeps looping and im getting no where

[Android Central Question]

I have a Gear S2 and i have tried to turn it on today (having not worn it for a few months) and it now seems to be in a permanent boot loop.

I have tried doing the factory reset from the very small menu you can get up on the phone but nothing appears to stop the loop.

Does anyone have any ideas? I cant take it back to the shop as i dont have proof of purchase anymore!

Any help greatly appreciated!

Many thanks

Martin
