My Samsung was on 40% charge and it just died, nothing, nada, wont charge, won't turn on nothing.
A spot of googling reveals there are plenty of repair shops, but I wondwered if there was anyone on here that does repairs?

Samsung have half decent sevice centre advisors if it's under 24 months old they should repair it - however I'm pretty sure with all the updates implemented these days a 'smartphone' has a limited shelf life - My Mrs has an s3 and it's defo on its last legs despite a new battery and new charger ..You might have to cut your losses and get a different phone .. Sadly it's the case I feel that a cheapo £10 phone with a physical keyboard is ultimately more reliable ...

Even if it's out of warranty you may be able to get it sorted under the SOGA. It may not be the newest phone but it should last longer than a couple of years.
