Problem "Solved". I Downloaded ODIN and associated bit and pieces and the official image as pointed to by Samsung, then flashed it onto my tablet. Sounds easy when you say it quickly, but every step seemed to involve trial and error, even following instructions I found scattered around the web.

I saw that about the SD card in an other thread, so I have removed it. I am fairly sure the warantee has expired. I'm rummaging through records looking for the purchase information. I know I didn't buy the "Extended Warantee"

Using your instructions I have tried to boot to safe mode a few times ( with variations cuz I'm not sure which is volume down ).It still goes to the samsung word in the middle of the screen. BTW I could only get it to power off (as opposed to restart) by plugging in an active USB cable

I allowed the OTA update (Marshmallow) to start and left the tablet (plugged in) for a few hours. When I cam back the screen showed just SAMSUNG (in bold Block letters) slowly pulsing. Every minute or so it vibrates buzz pause buzz buzz buzz. I reset it using the power+volume up technique...
