Samsung Galaxy S3 wont boot but the camera comes on
About an hour ago my phone finished charging and so I unplugged it. When I did, my phone turned itself off and refuses to come back on. It seems that whenever I put the battery in my phone, the camera-flash LED comes on and makes the phone very hot. I have no spare battery on me so I can't test whether this is defective, but I can't see it being caused by the battery. It must be another hardware issue.
The phone will not turn on at all, regardless of button combination and by USB/charging. The fact that the flash LED is on suggests that power is dispersing properly across the board -- at least to the flashlight that is.
Is this a sign that it is completely broken, or is there a way to get past this?
Thanks a lot.
