Hi,
Yesterday my Galaxy Tab suddenly went dead ... disconnecting/reconnecting
the charger ... removing/putting back SIM ... removing/putting sdhc ....
trying all possible button combinations while pressing the power on button ...
it didnt work ... My Tab was dead ...
I was looking up service centers adresses till i found by accident this mail :
www_mygalaxytab_net/samsung-galaxy-tab-how-to/a-dead-gt/
I followed his tip :
Keep power on pressed while touching the screen
The battery indicator pops up.
The Tablet reboots.
Everything goes back to normal.
I just wanted to share this information in case the same happens to one of you.
A great year to you all.

Dead Tab
This morning it happened to me: a dead Tab.
To bad, your tip didn't work for me so I am going to the Samsung service center which is (lucky for me) near to my house.
Hope to learn more there because it seems I am not the only one with this problem.
Problem solved. Press the on button and count to ten.
My Tab is working again.

U r a lifesaver kvanlier ! It happened to me just now and ur tip solved my dead tab. I nearly wanted to open up the tab to remove the battery and reset it. Thanks again.
If the were karma point here you would be a God , Thanks for saving me a trip to the Service center.
That happened to me two days ago. Got up in the morning and the tab would not turn on. Nothing I did worked so I took it back to TMO and they gave me a new one. Lucky for me I was still with in the 30 day buyers remorse bracket. But now I am wondering! If it happens I will at least give your remedy a try.
Just to make an update on this topic, I notice that when you got absoluted zero charge, my Tab only came back to life while using Samsungs own charger. USB port of my computer alone was not able to charge it back.

I can confirm this. My Tab appeared completely dead.
It had been running a CPU intensive test app while plugged into USB and was obviously using power quicker than it was charging.
There was no low battery warning - presumably because it was plugged in and therefore thought it was charging.
Plugging it into the mains brought up the charging screen. USB alone was not enough to get it to begin charging from completely flat.
Had me panicked for a few minutes
Thanks all for the useful tips.
I have also experienced some weird phenomena when the tab is solely plugged into a USB port. It will on occasion "play dead". Charging the Tab using the wall wart solves this issue. Unfortunately, I've yet been able to determine the root cause.

FANTASTIC!!! Thanks a bunch!
I was away from home when my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Running Galaxy Task 14) started acting like it was bogged down or in a program loop. So I decided to re-boot and, I'll be damned if there wasn't ANYTHING I could get to work. No CWM, No Download state, Nothing, Nada. Just a Black Screen.
I new the battery was freshly charged, so I didn't figure that was the problem.... Never-the-less, I was without my Tablet for the rest of the day.
Once I got home and had internet service from my computer I found your post and VOILA! Fixed in about 15 seconds.
THANKS AGAIN!!!
I bricked my GTab two weeks ago (I flashed wrong ROM from other phone). It was totally dead. No power on, download mode or recovery. The trick with charging and press power button for 10 seconds or more didn't work.
Then I tried UltimateUnBrickRessurector and flash the JPI ROM. Nothing happened. Out of frustration I ran UltimateUnBrickRessurector again until it put GTab in download mode and flashed JQ1 ROM. Suddenly the camera LED flashed brightly. However power on was still not possible. I flashed JQ1 again and it worked!
I don't know whether this affects only my GTab, but I could only resurrect it after I flashed older ROM than I had. I hope this helps anybody.
exactly what happened to me yesterday, u saved me money and time thanks
thank you so much!
Hi all forummers,
I am having a big problem with my Galaxy S i9000, my model is GT-i9000. I have never root or do anything to the phone. Last night, I was just charging the phone as per normal, and when I returned to check my phone, it was off and I thought nothing of it and tried to power on the phone, but it doesn't work at all.
I tried with my USB cable, with another charger, with another battery but all in vain. I tried searching the forum for an answer or at least someone who encountered similar situation like me, but seems like I am the only one with such problem.
My phone can't power on, can't boot up, nothing, it's just a dead phone now.
Like to ask if this is a software or hardware problem, I tried connecting to the ODIN but no response, even my PC can't detect the phone when it's connected.
Can someone please help and advise??
Much appreciated!
try taking out the battery for some 5 minutes or so then put it back and plug the charger but do not turn it on

thanks and I tried, still the same. But funny thing is when I tried to charge it again, I can feel some heat on the battery, meaning actually power did go in but it just cannot power up..
Tasks it to the samsung repairs centre. You're still covered by warranty.
Swyped from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Hey guys
Im looking for some help, although im not sure theres much that can be done...
These are the steps i did on an Australian p6810 stock device:
Install ICS using odin
Using temporary CWM, root the device
Flash CM9 to it
Wiped dalvik, batt stats, cache, factory restore (in both stock and cwm)
Boot to CM9 fine, but wifi doesnt work
Apply the wifi.zip fix as well as gapps
Boot to CM9 fine, but wifi doesnt work and gapps arent visible (or installed)
Applied the fix and gapps again, still didnt fix
So i decided to reflash CM9
Flashed CM9 and straight after did gapps and wifi.zip
Did a CWM factory reset
During the reset process (which took a loooong time), my device turned off (pretty sure it had plenty of battery)
BRICK
Now i cant turn my tab on at all. The screen doesnt respond, no matter how long or how many times i press the power button
Any help?!

I was reading a post on here about bricking and battery issue with the tab 7.7 which should be easy for you to find...Google it
On that post they spoke about taking the tab to any cell shop and having different battery packs put to it and this had revived the tab, the two guys who had got it working again said they had used a bigger voltage / amp battery to kick it back to life again. do a search and see what you find.
Now dont get me wrong, I have no idea how they got to do that as the battery is built in and the power connection is through the 30pin cable....maybe they plugged in the 30pin and used a transformer on the USB side to jump the battery back to life, I have done something like that before on a old phone that didnt charge and it worked, but its not the safest as wrong voltage could pop something.
Or the only other thing I can think of is the battery is totally dead or broken, in that case I would suggest a repair shop....but thats last on the list!
I am sure it might not have been enough charge before you strated...I had my battery die over night and it took a good 30min on charge to start showing any charge life at all.
Once you get the power working, I am sure we can un-brick your baby for you

Thanks for the advice! I'm not sure it's a battery problem though? Is there anyway I can tell?
To be honest, the only way you are going to know if the battery is the issue is if you take it for a battery swop....will be a samsung outlet and cost you. I have heard that some 7.7's that have done wipes from in CWM and not the 3e recovery have caused bricking, it may be that this has happened to you. please check the other brick posts on here and I am sure after reading them all you will have a better idea of what is going on. before I do anything on mine I check all the bricking posts to see what could cause the problem and stay away from those changes or mods....if possible
sometimes plugging it in and out of the wall charger and then computer and back again to wall might help, I dont promise anything.
how long have tried holding the power button, and have you tried holding the power button while pluggin it in....
let me know what happen's please....

So i took apart my tab in hopes i could do a battery pull:
http://www.jtagbox.com/jtag-news/ri...y-tab-77-unbrick-boot-repair-supported-world/
and no luck, it doesnt auto power on
Im considering doing jtag... but hmmmmm
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rqhhgs34vuzt4u4/fGwL0TiSYc
i pulled out the power/battery cable, plugged the tab into the computer and then plugged the power in. nothing.
it also didnt work when i plugged it into the wall
When plugged in my wifi chip gets warm... hmmm
@Scottyn...
Dude, you need to do the swopping of power from wall socket to computer then back again and again and again......all the time while doing this holding the power button in.....try it
Also, if you have puled the thing apart now you should be able to test the battery for power with a volt meter or something....
does the battery have power...
does the battery get power from the cable or pin running to the battery?
Can you turn the tablet on with a different power source to the battery terminal on the phone?
I would check these things first, then hold thumbs....I dont know, if it's not the battery then it may very well be a dead hardware issue and not a data issue or fried memory as they will normally boot the tablet to a point.....
May very well be the battery cooked
Im too scared to attach a an external powersource to replace the battery. I have the equipment, but it could easily fry the rest of the board
Ive closed the device back up, so ill have to reopen it before i chuck a voltmeter on the batteries
and ive swapped from computer to the wall about 10 times (swapping every 5 seconds). Nothing
Plus; if i diagnose the problem as a fried battery then cant really do anything about it

We had a similar faith. It was when this wiping thingy messed up my Tab. My only consolation was that my Tab is under warranty and did some make up story at the service center. Had replaced the motherboard and now up and running. I'd promised myself that I'll limit my "genius" with rooting and flashing an official fw. Custom rom is a big no for me, no matter how great and stable it was. The wiping part is like kiss of brick. Yes, i know...there's a disclaimer.
sweet. Ive decided to send it all back over to australia. annoying, but ill get a guaranteed fix
I think ill stick to stock ICS from now on

Do you mean you opened up the tabs case?
how did you do this?
any pics?
I ve read you have to lift the screen from the back cover..
It scares me to think about levering it and cracking the screen or something..

Hello All,
My S4 constantly shuts off after 3 seconds. Lets say the phone is off, and I just plug the usb cable into, the battery icon comes on, but then it shuts off after 3 seconds. If I try to go into download mode, its get there, but then shuts off.
I had the MDL Firmware on it with Loki and it was working fine. Now I just want to flash back to stock, but the phone wont stay on long enough. I also tried different batteries.
Any idea on whats wrong or how I can successfully flash back to stock
First thing I would check is to see if your power button is stuck......

Have you found a solution? I experience something similar: phone shuts down after the Galaxy S4 logo, or 3 sec after it enters download mode using a jig connector.

I suppose I have found what the problem is: after I have slightly hit the phone over my hand palm, I've realized it returned to function normally. But after a couple of hours the problem has return. So I tried to do that again and suddenly the vibrator stopped working. I make it short: several more attempts gave me a combination of improper functioning with or w/o the vibrator. So I had removed it completely and the phone started working OK. I have put it back and now the phone works OK. I believe the problem was in a bad contact with the vibrator. I'll keep playing with the phone for several days, and if it's OK I declare repair is 100% succeed.
Hello.
So, I recently updated my phone 2 days ago for the first time after 2017, and the battery ran out while it was updating, and then it was boot looping and kept getting stuck at 28%.
I decided to reinstall the os on it (I installed the official rom that the phone came with). At first, everything seemed normal until I plugged it and after a while, the led indicator was showing that it was still charging but after I unplugged it from the charger, the light was still on and the screen was completely black and unresponsive.
After a while, the light shut off and after that, it never came on. I tried everything to get it on again: tried hard rebooting, trying to get into recovery, charging with different types of cables and with wireless charging also, basically every combination that came to mind. When I used the wireless charger, it showed that it was charging, but no signs of life on the phone. Samsung support wasn't that much of a help either, they only asked if I used a cable that worked on it and if the phone was water damaged or had any cracks.
Any help will be appreciated!!!

How did you reinstall the OS?

by putting the phone into download mode
Connect usb (not charger) hold vol- + home + power, release power after 5 sec n continue holding vol- + home . If download mode appears flash phone with same csc firmware. If no downlooad mode probably battery or emmc fault.

If its an emmc failed qualcomm cpu S7e , pc will detect as qualcomm 9008 port.
For battery you need to manually check battery voltage.

I know it was the cpu failure...

Looks like RAM failure. Heating phone's back side(after removing back panel with hair dryer for few seconds may help. Not a permanent solution, but for data backup.
