My Samsung tablet won't turn on!

[KarinSanao]

I've had my tablet charging for over an hour now and it won't turn on. It doesn't even show the battery charging loading screen. I've held down on the power button for long periods of time but it ends up as just a black screen. I don't know what to do ... My parents are gonna kill me if they know my tablets not working.

Awesome. Excellent. But mine didn't start charging. Instead it turned all the way on. Now I'm wondering what caused it to happen in the first place. Thanks so much for this help. Thank you.

I have had this problem with 2 of my Samsung tablets. The solution is simple, but you need to take your time and have a steady hand. Get a Tupperware orange peeler. You need a plastic wedge to gently pry open the case. The orange peeler has that on one end. With your fingernails gently get your nail between the back cover and the edge of the tablet until your nail slips in. Put the tapered end of the peeler in the gap you created. Gently move the peeler along the edge of the plastic. You will hear the clips coming undone as you go. Take your time and don't force anything. Once you have worked your way all around the back cover, you can gently remove it. On the back of the printed circuit board are a few connectors. These are tiny plugs that take a ribbon cable and plug it into a tiny socket on the pc board. This is likely where your problem is. On my Tab 3, the problem was the ribbon cable from the power button to the pc board. On my Tab S it was the ribbon cable from the usb port to the pc board. One by one use the wedge end of the peeler to gently lift the ribbon cable plug from its socket. Reset the connector back into its socket and try to turn on the tablet. Continue to check all the connectors and sockets. When you find the one that was the problem, cut a small piece of electrical tape and place it on the back of the offending connector. This will apply a tiny amount of additional force to push the connector into its socket. Convinced that you have found the problem, get some silicone glue and a toothpick. With the toothpick apply a tiny trace of glue along the plastic where the lid clips into the body. Then gently place the back cover where it should be and push it on to hear each clip as it clicks. When you have them all clicked in, you are done. Congratulations! You fixed it.

Ok what , here the real answer especially for samsung phone. Try holding down the power + volume down and home button for 10sec while charging. This leads you to developer option, if ur phone is currently charging and this solution does not work that means there are something wrong with the phone fuse...etc.

hold power button and volume down at the same time for 5-10 seconds. You may have to have your tablet plugged in. I didn't have it plugged in and just did that and it worked for me. Hope you get the same result!

 

[nsuryakiran]

extremely frustrated, none of the combinations worked.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 - Kids Edition, and would not start after running the battery dead, after trying vol and/or vol+power 10-15 seconds, still not starting. The device has been on a charger for over 24 hours, I also tried checking the ribbon connectors under the back cover. I read another article that suggested holding the power button for 30-40 seconds. This did the trick, immediately it showed that it was charging, battery still dead, did not boot just started to charge

*Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 - Kids Edition won't start - to fix press and hold power 30-40 seconds while plugged into charger.

Thank you for the above information. I tried holding the down volume button for 10 seconds, holding both the power button and the down volume button for 10 seconds, this did not work. I connected to my pc and it started to charge and came back to life!!!!! I disconnected from the pc and plugged it into on outlet. It is charging perfectly and I was able to turn it on and off without any problems.

Thank you so much! My Samsung pro tablet wouldn't turn on despite plugging in the charger. I read through the thread and pressed only the up and down volume button with the charger plugged in, no luck. Then, I held the power button along with the volume button and the tablet turned on, showing 91%...

I hold the volume and the power button down for 10 to 20 seconds it still will not work and I am very upset please tell me what to do
