My Samsung Galaxy tab 3 will not switch on. I've tried pressing the different buttons suggested, putting it in the freezer, plugging it into my laptop and I've even bought a new battery and nothing. Can anyone help??

Welcome to Android Central! Did you replace the battery yourself, or did you have a technician replace it? If it still doesn't turn on with a replacement battery, then it's probably an issue with the power button or the motherboard -- that would require a repair shop. It might make more sense to get a new tablet, depending on the cost of repair.
