Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: Why Samsung galaxy tab a 10.1 2016 goes black some time

Thu, 26 Mar 2020 20:39:48 -0700

My tablet was working fine. I used it for like 15-20 minutes like I do many times during the day to check on stuff. But this time when I came to use it again then all I see is black screen. The home button and lock key is not working. I tried calling on the tablet and its still ringing that means it on. Its just not giving display. Is it possible that if something keeps on touching the tablet screen for long time may cause this ? because I saw a pillow was our the tablet(We have very light weight pillow). This happen one time before as well. That time I slept while using the tablet and in morning it was not working. Then all of a sudden it started working on its own(It tried some volume up power tricks but it looked like it failed so I just left it. When I get back it was working normally. I played games and stuff as well and all worked great. What could be the reason ?

Tue, 03 Aug 2021 14:48:26 -0700

Couple weeks ago my galaxy tab 10.1's power is 1%, then i shut it down. After that i charged my tab and left it a couple of minutes, but when i see the charging bar it dosent gain power. it keeps going back n fort for hours but still it didnt fill up to the middle. After that this happend link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fW48hGB7...

But i solved it by pressing hold the power button in 1 min(30 sec, plug in charger,30sec release power button.)

you can see that procedure on the video's comments.

P.S

I had to factory reset my tablet because it was acting up. Now I cannot download any Amazon apps, including Kindle. Which I had on there before the reset.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: How to recover from bootloop (only download mode, no recovery mode)?

Sun, 27 Feb 2022 15:59:03 -0700

Samsung Galaxy Note Tablet 10.1 (GT-N8013)

Device hangs at Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 logo.

Apparently stuck in a bootloop - will automatically turn on and hang at logo following power off via power button.

Able to access download mode, but no recovery mode.

Flash with factory firmware (.pit and .md5) files via ODIN with "Pass!", but bootloop remains.

Kies (pre- Note III) fails to connect with device. Program instructs to restart device.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: The micro USB port is faulty and the unit will not charge

Wed, 24 Feb 2016 05:43:23 -0700

A tiny piece of plastic that surrounded the internal pins of the usb charging port fell out. For a while the unit would charge if the charger cable plug was angled at a certain position but now the unit has run out of battery and will not charge at all. Can I replace the usb charger port on the unit?

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: Power button not working

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 04:57:14 -0700

My galaxy tablet 10.1 with S pen seems to no longer be working with the power button. I first noticed it when it wouldn’t turn off or even go into sleep mode (such as when watching a video app, It used to just go directly to sleep mode/standby). The tablet drained power completely, now it won’t turn on. It shows the battery charging percent meter on the sleep screen. Other than the button (which still moves and feels like it should) not doing its job, the tablet was functioning normally. I have low level skills, and feel like if there was a video on how to do this I would dive right in. Its not doing any good, doing nothing.

My thought is that if I could take the cover off, perhaps I could visually inspect the button, and use a multimeter to test for current across it. Is there anything I could read, watch, try, start, figure out from here? I’ve tried all the button combination holds, what’s next? Thank you
