s3 has frozen

Anonymous — Fri, 31 Jul 2015 16:08:05 GMT

my s3 has frozen on samsung screen. I cant turn it off or charge it. I have pressed the up volume, power and home key. The android man appears then falls over with a hazard sign (triangle with ! in it). It then gives me options clear cache, factory setting etc but has alot of writing saying files not available. I have tried to attach to kies but will not allow connection of phone Any ideas please.

Sounds like "sudden death" syndrome to me, what say you @MI5 ?

Try clearing cache first. Next step would be a factory reset and hopefully you have done a recent back up.
