Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge black screen, blue light flashing

[AC Question]

I have experienced the dreaded Samsung screen of death, 6 days ago I received a text and saw the blue flashing notification light but minutes later when i picked up the phone, the screen was black and not responsive. I have tried every hard and soft reset option, from holding power button and volume buttons to holding all 4 buttons at the same time but nothing has worked. Does anyone have any other suggestions before i send it away for repair? Will allowing the battery to die have any effect? The light is still flashing six days later.
