when I turn on my galaxy slll it says device memory damaged

[Android Central Question]

I've tried turning it on and off several times, and Ive taken out the battery multiple times but still the same "device memory damaged" message. Finally after tryin everything else i tried pushing the "Reset Device" at the bottom of the message and nothing happens.. Nothing at all. I even tried to factory reset by pushing vol. up/home button & power key but that doesnt do anything either. ?¿? Whats wrong with my phone, what do i do now?¿? Please help me!!

Basically it's the same thing as having the hard drive on a PC get damaged. It can't be fixed. It will need a motherboard replacement and that costs as much as a new phone that will have better specs and newer OS. All the data is lost as well.
