Samsung galaxy note GN8000 wont start

[archimedes1274]

Does anyone know how to get a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 GT-8000 to startup. I bought this product recently on EBay. I've recharged it already, but because it is second hand I don't know when the battery was last fully recharged. Because it is secondhand, the previous owner said it doesn't work and took it to have it repaired .But it still doesn't work.Does anyone know how long it takes to fully recharge a Samsung galaxy battery, if it's completely flat. If the battery does work, what else could stop it working

Question from archimedes1274 : "Samsung galaxy GN8000 Tablet"

I bought a black Samsung galaxy GN8000 Tablet on eBay recently. Although the person who sold it , said it doesn't work. I am determined to get it to work.
It doesn't work because every time I switch it on, all I get is a blank screen . I've tried to reset it but I can't because the screen is blank. I don't know how flat this battery is. If it's completely flat. How long does it take to fully recharge a Samsung galaxy battery. If the battery isn't the problem and the mainboard is.Where can I buy a new one.

NOTE: Yes, I know some batteries are not so easy to get to, on some devices. However, it should be removable/replaceable. Unless it is under warranty, then you should contact the manufacturer first.


Try the following and see if it will turn on...

1. Unplug your charger cord.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Press and hold the "Power" button for 30 seconds.
4. Now plug back in the power/charger cord.
5. Now put the battery back in.

If this doesn't help, then test the power cord to see if it is good. Either try your cord in another device, or try another devices cord in your laptop. You may also want to try charging it when the device is off, rather than on. If it works then, the cord is probably the issue.

Should that not be the problem, then check the battery to see if it needs replacing.

If you do not feel comfortable doing this yourself, then I would try a local tech.
