~6 months old Tab S SM-T800. Started dropping battery charge randomly / charging extremely slowly (or not at all), shutting off and then finally wasn't able to turn on. Was returned and sent to repairs, came back with a changed battery charger/micro usb slot and reassurance that it does in fact work now.
Started up (at ~80% battery charge), worked for 5 minutes or so and then turned off. Started again with 2% battery, crashed, rebooted with 60%, crashed, was unable to start. Sent back for repairs.
Got it back today with only the screen changed (because they scratched it last time), saying that it must be a problem with the charger. Seemed to work at first, but crashed and rebooted several times, each with wildly different battery charge percentages. Seemed to work after that as long as charger was plugged in, but eventually crashed. Now I can't get past the initial charge % screen, before the tablet boots. Resetting to factory settings does nothing. It shuts off when the charger is unplugged, and does not work with USB connection to a PC. Attempting to power it on just restarts it back to the battery charge screen. No Samsung logo or anything.
Any suggestion on what to do before I send it back yet again? Will probably suggest a new unit this time, as it's obviously not getting fixed.
