Tab Dead?

[ShinyTop]

Put the tab to sleep with one touch on power key. It had over half a charge when I put it up but I plugged in the power anyway. A couple hours later it won't wake up. Doesn't indicate any life. Naturally I also tried long press. Next step? Have owned it since June with no problems.

I've seen people experience similar problems and have had success with leaving the tab plugged in to charge overnight and try again in the morning. Give it some time, hopefully it turns on

I tried restarting my Tab after overnight charging and it came on. So all good for now.

Good to hear For some odd reason this has happened to a few people and the solution appeared to b leaving it plugged in overnight and try again in the morning.

This has happened to me a couple of times and the first time I was PO'ed thinking the tab died. The solution I was told was to just press and hold the power button down until it starts up. I think the first time I held it down for what seemed like forever, but in reality is was probably more like 1 or 2 minutes.

Good luck.

There's something bugged with the way the hardware buttons communicate with the firmware/tablet bios. I really do believe it's a design flaw for so many Tabs to fall victim to this. Is it possible that they've already fixed the issue in the manufacturing process, sure. But I've encountered this problem numerous times on several tabs - some of which never came back to life.

This has happened to me couple of weeks ago. I thought the tab is dead. Then I kept it on overnight charge. On first attempt no success but it came back to life after second overnight charging. There must be a some harware/software issue with this tab and samsung should address it asap.

This has now happened to me twice. I wonder if it is hardware related or something with Touchwiz (it never happened before that).

Everyone: Tell Samsung about this issue NOW: https://contactus.samsung.com/customer/contactus/formmail/mail/MailQuestionProduct.jsp?SITE_ID=1 or call 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864)

They'll only fix it if they know a lot of people are getting this issue.

I used to have that issue off and on. Especially when charging the device.
I noticed that it seemed to happen when I plugged or unplugged the charger to the device while it is in sleep mode.
What I do now is plug the charger into the device while the screen is on, and the device is awake.
When the unit is fully charged, I wake the phone up and unlock the screen before unplugging the charger.
I've noticed that I don't have the issue when i remember to use those steps.
