Dumbest way to brick a tablet
Hi everyone. So, today I've accomplished an incredible feat. I've bricked (well, it's stuck at boot logo actually) my tablet in what I think may be one of the weirdest and most stupid ways possible. Basically, my Note 10.1 was having a hard time connecting to my PC, and the problem was in the connection jack. So I had the wonderful idea of trying to fiddle with it to try to fix it. I grabbed some tweezers (they were the closest tiny thing I could find), and trying nudging around the connector. Before I knew it, my tablet was bricked. Of course, the tweezers are metal, and I probably shorted some pins. I know, I feel really stupid. Anyway, after that, my tablet displayed the image of a battery with a symbol similar to a clock at the center. I turned it off, and not it never gets past the logo. I've tried rebooting many times and even tried restoring the firmware back to stock through Odin. Nothing. I can only assume it's a hardware issue. I'm taking the tablet to repair, but I would first like to know if any of you have an idea of what I might possibly have fried. Do you guys think it is repairable? Thank you very much!
