Hi guys, I've been using this rom for a weeks now without any problems until this. I left my phone to charge overnight and turned the charger off when I woke up. I didn't touch my phone until after I got home from school and it's suddenly like this. The power button does nothing, I don't think the 3 buttons do anything. I'm stuck. I created an account just for this. I hope someone will be able to help! I also enabled Battery Doctor's cpu management when the screen is off if it changes anything. Thank You!
[Q] S3 Mini with latest CM 11 suddenly won't boot up

Hey, do you maybe have backup from previous rom before flashing? Can you even enter recovery? If yes then try wiping cache..
I hope i helped!
I'm sorry for replying so late but no, I can't seem to be able to get a response from the phone. I also forgot to do a backup which is quite stupid of me. It all happened so suddenly too. Do you think it could be a hard brick?
I am afraid it is .. always do a backup... if you get no response from Odin flashing, nor recovery it's hard brick , as far i know.
There's still 1 more way, the JIG... you can get it from ebay for couple dollars , it's like micro usb which is used for all samsung S models i also read that it was tested for S3 mini and works .. soo try that.
no response from buttons.
Old trick.. Pull your battery hold all three buttons whilst replacing battery. With a bit of luck you should get into either recovery or download mode. Then load a stock rom via odin. Hope this helps.
Another thought has your battery somehow totally drained?
