Re: Samsung tab 3 has a blackscreen and do not shut off target

Welcome to Android Central! You're in Download mode, which is used to install firmware. As long as you're not connected to anything and actively installing a firmware, you can force a shutdown by pressing and holding Power for 10-15 seconds. Then power on normally. Does it keep going to that screen?
