Tab S10.5 bricked

[Nak47]

I downloaded the official Samsung software update and then the tablet would not restart and is now bricked. It loads to the Samsung splash screen and that's it. Computers cannot find it. Kies cannot find it. It was less than 1 year old and Samsung won't help. Any suggestions?

Have you tried going into Recovery Mode (with the tablet off, hold power, home and volume up buttons) and clear cache? It does take a couple restarts and a few more minutes to reboot after a system update, but it shouldn't be that long.

You can also try pressing power and home at the same time for a minute while it's booting up and see if that helps.

Yes I have tried all that but it does not resolve the problem. I cannot use recovery software because pc cannot find machine. Is there anyway to flash it?

Can you go into download mode and try to flash again?

Do you have an SD Card inserted? If so, try rebooting without it.
