Why in God's holy name does my Galaxy Tab 3 shut down when I plug it up???

[Extremelyirritatedaboutthecurrentproblem]

GUYS... I can NOT afford another tablet, and this pseudo-advanced Samsung trash heap shuts off immediately when I plug a charger into it. It doesn't charge in that state either. I have tried THREE different chargers in SEVEN different outlets, and it's always the same. I have done a factory reset, I have changed the battery and yet, nothing. Please, I need serious help before somebody dies. Before A LOT of people die.

Welcome to the forums. How old is the device?

If my memory serves me correctly, I've had it for about two years now.

Ok...do definitely out of warranty. Samsung may be able to fix it, but I don't know what they charge, and shipping costs may be required by you.

I don't think there is a software issue here. Probably a bad port.

Another option is if there is a local PC repair shop that might do this.

Alright, I might know of a shop in town where I can get this repaired at. It sucks that I can't solve it another way, though. Thanks for the quick and helpful response, my dude.

No sweat. Hope everything can get fixed without breaking the bank.

Also...the big reason I suggest professionals do this is some connections are quite delicate and can be broken easily during disassembly. If they cause other issues, it's on them to fix it and it should be for free.
