Hi,
Before my S3 would turn off because the power button was sensitive, but I resolved that problem by downloading the easy touch app. I haven't had a problem with my s3 till today. All of a sudden the phone turned off and my power button didn't turn my phone back on. I then plugged in my phone but the charging sign wont show up. I unplugged it and took out my battery and put it back in and the Samsung symbol popped up for 5 seconds and turned back off. Irritated, I took my battery out and charged my phone, the red LED light showed up for about 3 seconds and went away. HELP,Idk what to do.

Welcome to the forums.
Have you checked the battery to see if there is any swelling? A simple way to check is to put it on a table (without a tablecloth) and try to spin it. If it spins freely, the battery is bad.
