Hello and thanks for all help in advance. I've been using my Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 for almost four months now without any problems, but when I woke up this morning, the phone was off, would not turn on, would not charge, would not be recognized by any computer I plugged it into, and it would not boot into recovery mode. My phone would reboot randomly a while back, but that had stopped for a long time.There are not any close Samsung service centers where I live, and so that's a last resort. I tried calling local repair shops, and when I explained the problem to them, they told me that the "CPU was dead", and that "they would need to reprogram it", which would take a week. Is there any truth to this? Any ideas on what I should do?
Your phone probably had a sudden death ( unfortunately this is happening alot ) your mother board is fried and it's not cheap (around 200 $) you should contact Samsung and get a replacement
.. you were on 4.1.1 right?

How the he. ll are they going to reprogram a dead cpu? That makes 0 sense:what: And yes if you were running version 4.1.1 then it's most likely suffered sds.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure now that it's sudden death syndrome. Thanks for the help guys. The guy was probably going to take the phone, order a
replacement motherboard and install it, and charge me extra. I'll contact a service center and order a replacement motherboard.
You can try to use a soft tooth brush to clean the USB port.

Hey there, my sgn2 n7100 had the same problem before, I tried everything, even disassembled the phone apart, but it was still won't turn on or charge, won't be recognized by pc or Mac. One day when I repaired my mom's iPhone 4 touch screen, I found out that the USB port was so dusty. I thought may be it's all because the USB port was dusty then I picked up my sgn2 and used a soft tooth brush with a little pure alcohol to clean every corner of the USB port. Guess what? After 15 minutes I connected my phone with the USB wall charger, my sgn2 just started to charge again. Trust me guys, try to use a soft brush to clean the USB port before you give your phone to the repair store or somewhere else. Good luck!! Hope it helps.
I am reading about N7100 USB ports failing quite a bit. If your phone is charging extremely slowly, or intermittently, I suggest maybe investing $15 for a replacement part ($11 inc. postage) and the tools* to replace it ($4 for a mini slim-jim and screwdriver), if the alternative options are much more expensive.
* If you've already got a little phillips-head screwdriver, you can make a slim-jim / lever tool just by sharpening an old credit card.
HI there - I could do with some advice, if anyone can help...
My 6-month old Note 2 suddenly refuses to charge.
I've tried my spare battery, tried different cables, tried a wall charger and tried USB to PC, none of them are working.
Problem started yesterday and I thought I'd sorted it when, turning the phone off and swapping batteries got me charging as normal once again, but the problem has started again this morning and both my normal battery and spare are now dead and won't charge, no matter where I try to charge from.
I have an international N7100 running the latest ParanoidAndroid with the Devil kernel. ANy suggestions what might be causing this?
Oh, and any suggestions for a reliable and reasonably priced repair place in the UK, if that's my only option??
Any advice would be really helpful, thanks!
Best,
Stu
My Samsung Tab T211 stopped charging after about a month of use.
Took the tablet in for repair to service center.
After 10 days and multiple visits to service center and complaining to Samsung Cust Care finally got it back.
It has been 48 hours since I got the tablet back & it has gone dead again.
Same problem as before , the battery is not charging via the main AC charger or PC cable. All my other phones r working fine using the same chargers and cables and power points. The service center told me they have replaced the board and battery but the issue persists, obviously points to a defective unit overall.
Anyone has any similar issues and suggestions for this. If yes, please let me know.
Ask for a return. It is definitely a problem with the battery or the USB plug

I bought a note 10.1 2014 Ed a couple of weeks ago on eBay. Not refurb and sealed in the box.
Devastated to find tonight, after completely discharged and shut down, that it seemed not to charge at all.
It becomes stuck on either the battery symbol, where nothing happens, arrow doesn't spin and no animation, or goes to the device model name. All the while the brightness flickers.
Have tried various chargers, I've taken all the cards out but nothing is working
I think it may be a loose connection with the battery (but open to other theories).
If anyone has had this problem, how have you fixed it? Is it worth disassembling and trying to fix it myself (as I'm sure you can tell I don't have a lot of knowledge about this)? Being an eBay purchase is it still under warranty with Samsung? How much would a fix be if it was a loose battery?
Thanks in advance

As far as I am aware items from ebay are not covered under warrenty.
Even with the screen off and nothing happening, leave it on charge for few hours then unplug and try to put it on.
Also have a look into the charger port of the tablet at the bottom to make sure nothing looks bent or out of the ordinary.

I have not had this issue with my Note, but my Nook did the same thing once. I disconnected the battery for a few minutes and everything reset. No idea if this will help, or if you are adventurous enough to try it.
Here are some pictures of the Note tear down. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49595697
samsung sm-p605 dead not starting, screen flickers
i am going to try removing the battery as u said.. lets see..
anyother ideas plz let me know..
but shld i do this quite often?? is this an known error of note???.. do we have this problem when complety drained????
samsung sm-p605 dead not starting, screen flickers
no luck.. i removed the battery from the board, then plugged in back after couple of minutes..
still in same state..
the screen flickers a lot.. is that normal when the note is completely drained..???
It is very bad for the battery to go completely down. I don't let it happen on my devices, so I cannot say if the flicker is normal.
My experience with the Nook was actually a friend's device. He had let it run down, and it was not charging. He left it on the charger for a few days, and it was still not showing a charge. He gave it to me to check out. I disconnected and reconnected the battery. It was probably half an hour or so, because I was interrupted. When I reconnected the battery, the Nook popped on and reported a full battery. Apparently it was charging but not registering anything, and the disconnect allowed things to reset.
If you do not any other ideas, I would suggest leaving on the charger overnight (or longer) and trying the disconnect again. Maybe leave it disconnected longer too.

I have the same exact issue right now! But mine is a refurbished unit. I tried the battery unplug, tried leaving it charging overnight, letting it discharge, flashing new roms, new kernels, etc. Nothing. THe only thing that did work a little bit was changing the kernel. Other than that, even flashing stock ODIN roms wasn't working.
When you charge yours, does it charge up to 75% but won't go any further? And does it take an extremely long time to get there? Because mine does. Reading about other devices that have the same issue, it seems to be the battery. But the other devices were phones. This is a tablet. The battery costs $65 :/

I know this is a very late reply and you have probably solved your problem by now, but for future readers with this problem:
I currently have the exact same problem, and just found out what it was. Either my charging cable (official Samsung cable) is faulty. I plugged it into another microUSB cable, and it is now charging again. No more battery symbol that doesn't have the spinning animation or flickering, and now it turns on.

Thanks for this information. Exactly this was the issue. Great!
Charging works and screen stops flickering with Samsung charger if you let it charge in Recovery mode. Mine is still charging as of now, so I don't have any news further yet, but it went from 0% -> 3% after around 30min.
Other than that, I only managed to get charging working with a Motorola's turbo charger.
Hello, I bought a Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T310) 3 months ago and from 2 weeks ago I'm having a charging problem. On beginning my device just charge very slow until 54% and stops, after some connect and disconnet of charger the % gone to 100 without any explanation. Ok, after few days the same problem again, then I did a factory reset and everything was ok again until yesterday. Same problem, very slow charge and just like 30% after a full night.
I never did nothing with the rom of the device, is the same which comes with it.
Please, someone have any idea about it? Probably is a firmware problem.
hey,
please read the thread below. It's a common problem with our model. My is currently away being repair.
