... has anyone any idea what the problem might be with it?
I press the start button and the Galaxy logo comes up as normal, but then it disappears for a few seconds then reappears, repeat ad infinitum.
Not familiar with the tech, but is there some sort of factory reset procedure perhaps?
apparently holding the 'on' button down for 10 secs does a reset but that does nowt with mine.
Take bttery out, then put it back in. Hold volume up and home button and then press power. If you get to a funny boot menu, that is good news.
If so, you probably want to do wipe / factory reset from that menu.
Before you do that, have you tried taking out the sd card - sometimes bad sd card can cause weird things on phones.
If it doesn't work, bung on ebay as broken with a description, people pay silly money for stuff they think they can fix on there.
If you can get to the boot menu, there are probably more complicated things you could do with pc software to fix it too.
