please help if anyone has had this problem..tried turning on and off, cleaning and charging it nothings working.
 
Hey there michaeltay31, I run a GS2 and have dropped a couple of times and had to do a reset, whether your rooted or not, have the unit off, then hold the power button down and at the same time hold the volume button up, that will take you into recovery whether your rooted or not, then do a factory reset. You will loss all your stuff on your phone if your not rooted and have a backup, if your rooted then of course run that.
