Right Hopefully You Have the three button working Pull the battery wait 30 secounds put battery back in 

Now Press and Hold the Volume Button Down+ Home Button and press power Now it might let you back in to down load mode if so then it can be fixed if not Then it needs a Jig and software called odin 

Let me no if it lets you in to download mode

If You get this

Then the phone can be fixed By your self , This is what you need to get first

1. 7zip From Here Press Here This is to un zip the Firmware

2. Register with www.samfirmware.com Press Here

3. You then need Down load Two More things now, Make a folder on you desk top called Firmware save every thing in there

 

1. Odin 1.3 ( Software to put the firmware on) From Here 

2. The JPY Firmware from Here

 

Now when you have down loaded the Firmware open up the Firmware folder on your desktop right click and extract it with 7zip to the same folder it will say extract Here

now we have a member that has done a video on how to fix this

if this is still a bit scary then i will PM you my number if needed

Cheers mate cant seem to follow your links properly, just downloaded a load of rubbish called ilivid and emoticons, video showed a jig which i havnt got but it does boot to download.

 

Looks far to hard for me, just have to accept a bricked phone from kies, will look for a samsung site to take it back to, thanks anyway

Its not that hard the links only work if your registered on samfirmware the video does show a jig but as you do not need this then you cut that bit out its on file in on box and you away if you follow the vid you can not go wroung
