I thought I would add some info about my experience with the repair of my Samsung tablet. I did quite a bit of live chat with several Indian guys about my tablet and received quite a bit of wrong information. I was told that once a service ticket was created I will be instructed to call the...

I have now reflashed the firmware seven times.

That's great info about the motherboard. Is there some info on how to take the tablet apart..??? I downloaded what looked like the Rel 5 firmware file for my tablet from the Samsung web site provided within this forum. It took about seven or eight hours to download. I also downloaded ODIN and...

After some research I agree that XAR is the US country code. Thanks for the post..........Dan

I had an on line chat with Samsung yesterday. They tell me that there is a $65.00 minimum charge plus tax and shipping to send my tablet in for repair. If it is the motherboard and it has to be replaced it will be $179.00 plus tax and shipping. A new unit is about $450.00 dollars plus tax, so...

Thanks for all the help coming from this forum. I am going to give Odin a try. I was unaware of it's existence so it may take me a few days to got through it. I will post my results here as soon as I go through the process.

The wifi toggle turns on but after a little while it just turns off again.

I forgot to mention it specifically but safe mode does not make any difference.

I have tried all the suggestions offered in my post. I think I am on the 6th iteration of downloading and reloading the software to get my tablet back to the original factory settings. The end results of which are always the same. Wifi will not turn on. Also Bluetooth will not turn on. Someone...

Thanks......Any help would be appreciated.

I contacted tech support and did an online chat. They had no solution but said they would pass along the problem. I also filled out an e-mail problem report to Samsung this morning. No replies yet.......
