    Was working fine. Not done anything recently apart from download apps from marketplace.

    Anyway - powered off and on and it wont start up now.

    Samsung galaxy screen pops up, then the start up animation, then it displays the S in the middle of the screen and thats it.

    Any ideas whats going on / how to recover?

    Try the 3 button recovery first but if that doesn't work it's probably back to your carrier for a re-flash.
    Mine did this (twas my fault though) and VF just re-flashed the firmware for me.

    Ha! small world and all that, I'm just up the road from you in Llanhilleth.
    Yeh, 3BR didn't work for me either, I registered with samfirmware and down loaded everything to flash it myself but thought I would try my carrier first and they were excellent, they sent it off on the Monday and I had it back on the Thursday.
    So long as they don't know/can't prove you caused the problem and it's not had a permanent root your carrier should re-flash it for you without question.
    Just tell them the battery went flat and when you switched on after charging this is what happened..
