I would look at it very closely. See if there is any fingerprints or scratches or marks.

Disregard the fix I mentioned. It is for if you can't see anything at all on the screen when trying to wake up; as well as the brightness/contrast not adjusting.

Sounds like the problem I had. Check to see if the brightness works when the screen is working. My screen would stay black after waking and the brightness would not change. It is bizarre but this solution worked. Hardest thing is getting the back off. Just take your time. I used guitar picks...

I fixed it using the instructions on the forum. Everything is working perfect now. Used guitar picks to open it up and there are no marks at all so my warranty is good (until I decide to root it which I'm tempted to do just to do it). So I got a brand new 32gig for 330. Refurbished by me lol...

Hell yeah I fixed it. Used guitar picks to open it up. Well my brand new note is like a refurbished one but at least I did the refurbishing. Stressful opening up a one day old tablet that is refundable. Its so bizarre that the brightness controls did not work but now they do. Thanks

How easy is this repair. Does the plastic holding the ribbon cable snap up easy. I have fat fingers. I had a wii and when I snapped the plastic piece up it just broke off. My tablet is one day old but it only cost 329 new and I would love to keep it as long as this fix is easy and it lasts. I...

I am returning it for a refund. It just stinks because I got such a deal I cannot afford anything close to this tablet. Thanks for the link to the fix, I am so tempted but I don't want to screw up and then not be able to return it. I screwed up a Wii putting in a mod chip that involved the...

Definitely the screen. No case, totally naked. It would stay black upon waking. You could hear it making sounds from swipes etc. When I took the Spen out it would make the sound effects but the screen was just black like no power to the screen. Also brightness control didn't work. Other than...

It only took two hours or less to charge. Too bad the screen will not wake up like its supposed to. I can't find anything near as nice as this tablet for what I paid for it. Now its discontinued where I bought it from so I'm sol. Back to spiral notebooks for a while. :(

I saw somewhere someone had the same problem as me. Also their brightness settings would not effect the screen which mine is doing. They said it was loose ribbon cable. Not sure if that what it is but I'm not sending a 4 hour old tablet to get fixed. Problem is I got such a good deal and I can...

Brand new tablet and when the screen times out I have to restart. It makes sounds and Home and Back buttons light up. Take out the S Pen and it makes sounds but the screen stays black. I have to hold power button until samsung logo and it starts up. Please help.

Cool thanks Dale Its almost done. I was worried it would take 8 hours after reading all the stories here. Glad I found this forum.

Yippeee UPS normally shows up at 5 or 6 o'clock. Today they showed up at noon. How long to charge? How do I know when its charged? Yep it is brand new for 329. Watch next week they will be 250 lol. Thanks for the replies.

I noticed Chrome Android can't use Chrome extensions. Firefox Android looks like it can. I have it installed with Adblock Plus extension. Haven't tested it out yet.

Re: Simple ebook reader and organizer for calibre library Solved and did not know how to delete thread. Gonna use Calibrecloud for her to browse books. Then I will put them in Google books for her. Their reader is good but only for epubs. Pdfs you cannot change the font size. Nice talking to...
