My replacement tablet came yesterday. I had ordered a replacement, but, the best price and vendor feedback was for a tablet that said WiFi only. Since I had been contemplating activating mine, the WiFi only was a major annoyance, but I also wanted one that I could afford and that was from a...

When the tablet is on, I plug the charger in. The charging indicator at the top shows that it is charging for a few seconds...up to maybe 30 seconds or so. Then the battery indicator stops showing that it is charging. Usually just the green battery indicator at that point...like it is no...

Beut...do you do repairs? :) (no, seriously, do you? how much do you charge? are you in the US? ...pm me... ) Alternatively, Can you explain in simple terms...I am somewhat technically literate, but this is getting beyond my skill set. I am willing to learn, but need more detail. How does...

By the way, it seems to charge fine with the power off.

Ok. I'm about to give up for the night. 1a. the attachment posted did not come through. 1b. my eyes are such that seeing to do any soldering ain't happening, especially fine soldering. That's something I'd need to find a professional to do...if it comes to that. 2. Chatted with Samsung...

Looking at the USB charger connector, there is actually a broken corner in there, so I've got a new one coming. Should be here on Tuesday. Tried this fix, myself...several times. no good. Could the LCD cable be bad? What else could it be? I have not had a chance to mirror the screen on an...

Beut, THANK YOU for the information, I appreciate it. Waiting to hear from a couple of tech guys I know to see if either of them can help me with the soldering...that's not a skill I have acquired. Once I hear from one of them about possibly helping me with the soldering, I'll see if I can fix...

Here is a picture of the cloudiness on the screen.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) tablet that I loved. It did what I wanted how I wanted it and it had a good sized screen. I purchased it refurbished off of eBay a couple years ago. It is a T-Mobile tablet, if that matters, but I have not activated it on any network, though, I...
