You need to reset your A3. Try holding the power button for about 10 seconds until it turns off, then press and hold the volume up button until the screen lights up. After that, release both buttons and see if it powers on. If not, you may need to factory reset or contact Samsung support.

Let it discharge its power and turn off. After that, recharge and attempt once more. Should this not resolve the problem, perform a complete reset.

The device won’t power down completely, so a full reset isn’t possible. You’re probably thinking about when the battery will run out next.

Also, once I link it to the PC, the system recognizes the device, does this indicate anything?

I've never permanently disabled a phone except by destroying it. At work I don't recall ever going that far. I ran a test on an original Galaxy Note, turned it off, connected it, and restarted. Windows identified it after the password prompt. The screen displayed "Samsung" but not the animated logo—it appeared later. It recognized it in File Explorer only after I entered the P/W. My note is running Android 4.1.2 on a Windows 10 Home build 10586.14.

Hey everyone, just an update—power was cut off. When I reinserted it and pressed power+, voltage, and home, the screen appeared. However, the display began to shift colors irregularly, moving between green, white, and pink highlights.

Hey, I've successfully reached download mode. Let's reset everything properly. What steps should I take with my phone now? Which files need flashing? Thanks!
