Hello everyone...

Recently I have came through with a problem my tablet as I have tried to connect the tablet with my PC and laptop(window 7,mac) it's not detecting the tablet... As it used to connect to the PC as mass storage.I don't know what's the problem I have even tried connecting to my friends laptop it didn't work also in my PC / macbook ... I had formatted the table in order to check if there was a problem with the tablet software even that didn't sort the problem out...

I need help from u guys...

I don't know what to do now ..

Do I have to take the tablet to the service centre???

I had the same problem with my S 8.4. The only way I could fix it was wiping the cache.

I don't know if any of this will help. It's a bunch of stuff I've captured. Some redundant.

--------------------------------

Only solution now is a hard reset. Going into recovery mode and wiping the entire device is the only way out. The secure lockscreen is there for a reason, and sorry to say this, but you can't register
fingerprints without setting an alternate password...

Usually turning the device on by holding the power + volume up + home button together until you see the Recovery Menu works.
............................

went for the factory reset (Volume up, Power button and Home button).

----------------------

Press and hold the Volume UP and Volume DOWN and Power button at the same time, 10 seconds. Tablet restart.

-------------------

After about eight hours the battery didn't die. Got frustrated... continued looking at multiple forums. Found that someone managed a reboot on a Tab2 with combination of volume and power hold for 10 seconds.

Well it worked... Volume down, then power button hold for 10+ seconds and the unit rebooted.

even when I held the power button for 30 sec it didn't do anything, what did work was hold the power button , volume down and menu key for 10 seconds and it will reset
