So once I managed to get the optimum USB port I managed to get the firmware quite a way through loading three time but Odin reported a write failure all three times in the same place, when the progress bar is alongside the 'M' of Samsung on the case. So I'm guessing new motherboard is required.

Oh well, left it overnight and Odin reported download failed when I looked this morning. Does the debugging mode need to be enabled on the tablet fro Odin to work?

I've got Odin v3.12 (from the link in post #1) run as administrator, and my md5 file (from sammobile) successfully loaded. My Galaxy Tab 2 (GT-P5110) is in recovery mode and connected via USB to the laptop, which recognises it as "SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface" (Kies is installed). But even...

Damn, I joined this forum to see if there was answer. The only difference I have is that the tablet will sit all day in the Android recovery mode without rebooting, which led me to think it wasn't a hardware fault.
