Dead Samsung Tab

[fortemusic]

Put my tab down on the counter earlier today, came back to use it and it was completely unresponsive. Pressed the power button, nothing. Plugged into the wall to see if it would charge, nothing.

It's was purchased in Dec and Sprint won't do a thing since it's outside of 30 days...anyone else have a dead Tab by chance and was able to revive it before sending it to Samsung?????

Had same problem

I had the same problem with my Tab. I thought it was dead. Tried holding power button down, plugged it in, not responsive then tried holding the volume up button down along with the power button together and a menu popped up with some options. Using the volume rocker to choose items, I chose to reboot the Tab (you could also chose recover options). After a reboot it was fine.

Same thing happened to me once and holding the volume and power keys worked for me also.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab
