Hi My tablet worked one day but not the next , like so many other people. I did the power button volume dance a few times but nothing. I disconnected the battery for 30-60 seconds a few times until the charging icon would show on the screen. Once that occurs I could power on the unit, The on time varied between 40-150 seconds. I replaced the battery (and violated my warranty unit was less than a month old). The battery charged up to 100%, But shut down in the same time frame. I did the recovery mode, unit stayed on for 3:40 while I was going through first time set up. Just for curiosity, I put the unit into ODIN mode and it stayed on until I exited which was 24 minutes. Once it shuts down it will not recognize the battery or charger, until I disconnect the battery for 60 sec again. Anybody have a clue?

See if you can put back the original battery and restore the tab to warranty condition. The first thing you should have done was ask for a replacement.

I know that, I was angry, I was out on a service call and needed to view a manual I had loaded. Also at the time I couldn't power the unit on to delete my personal and financial information with logins and passwords. And I didn't trust Samsung with that info.
