[Q] My Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210) Just Turned Off and It Won't Turn On again :(

My Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210) Just Turned Off and It Won't Turn On again
I thought that it was due to the low battery but now that I'm charging it, it wouldn't even show the battery thing being charged
I didn't root it.
Please help me!!!!!!!!:crying:
Hello, same Problem here. Did You solved it?
How did you charge it? I had the problem while I charged it on my PC.
I solved it: Let him charge with it's battery charger for an hour or more
A computer USB port is not powerful enough to charge this beast. Make sure you use a charger rated for at least 2A like the original.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 - 10.1" [GT-P5200]
My Galaxy Tab 3 - 10.1" [GT-P5200] has also turned off and does not charge anymore.
Tried with a couple of original chargers but it just would not respond. It was also not rooted nor flashed.
What shall i do?
And mine doesn't work at all on battery, like it is not connected.
My P5210 works only with charger connected.
Anyone had this problem?
It started with when I pushed the power button, it just went dead... disconnect and connect the battery and the Tablet came back to live again. And now when I plugin the charger I see a empty battery image, the a blue full battery image and then I push the power button and the tablet turn on.
When I remove the charger the tablet dies immediately.
End of live of the battery?
I guess I will open it to take a look inside again...
Opened the tablet and firmly pushed on the battery connector and it works again

Not charging, screen flickering

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.

shame i always liked samsung over apple.. and bought a product with no support.. apple atleast accepts product bought anywhere in the world and even replaced battery for my frnds iphone 5s when in warranty...
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.

Help Samsung tab 3 10.1 wont work unless plugged in Please read!

OK so i bought this tab 3 10.1 inch because they guy said it would not turn on i got it to turn on but only if it is plugged into the wall or my computer i have replaced the usb/charging port and then the battery and it still does the same thing the battery says its 100% and everything works fine but as soon as i unplugg the usb cable the tablet goes dead i have tried all the little button combos of holding this and that for so many seconds and nothing works if anyone has any idea of what could be the problem please shoot me some ideas because as of right now im thinking it could be something where the battey is not connecting to the tab but on the other hand it shows it charging and it at 100% so it must be working so could this be some sort of software issue or something where it has to be tethered to work or is the tablet messed up for good any help is appreciated i looked all over the internet and didnt find anything like this

[Q] Tab 3 10" won't charge, bad micro usb port?

In the past week, my wife's 1 yr old Tab 3 10" has become flaky to charge and as of last night we can't get it to charge at all.
Tried several cables and different chargers around the house, no luck. The port is very loose so at first i thought maybe it was just worn out and wasn't getting a connection. Tried the freshest tightest cable i have in the house and couldn't get even a moment of charging so i've ruled that out.(or it's more worn out than i can imagine)
Saw a suggestion about the 7" model to disconnect the battery for a bit to resolve a similar issue. Gave that a shot but no dice.
After that I noticed something interesting.. one of my chargers stopped working when i plugged her tablet into it. until i unplugged it from the wall for about a minute, it wouldn't charge anything else. 3 times it played out just like that - charger works, plug in her tablet, charger doesn't work.
Then I plugged the tablet into my Macbook Pro and things got really fun.. it shut down instantly and won't power back up at all(i'll deal with that later on).
So,.. my assumption now is that there's a short in the micro USB port.. does this sound logical to anyone? Or could an issue like this be caused by something else that's not as fixable?
This is really disappointing because we've been generally happy with samsung products.. but this just seems too soon to have an issue like this. At least it's easy to take apart.
Sorry if this is a common issue that's been covered.. couldn't find any info relating to the 10" model. Thanks in advance!

well, if according to my understanding of your description, that is what happening to me now.
You can try my method which is working for me.
If you didn't mess your boot partition up. you can leave it drain for like hours to days *I have tried to leave it for 7 to 9 days... * and charge it again, keep charging about 30 minute to an hour when you see charging sign, then proceed to Section B if you brick your device. If you don't, just start it up normally and let it charge up to 100% before you discharge.
>Drain the battery by leaving it uncharged for hours to days
>Charge it on, you will see charging sign
>Leave it charge for hours
>DONE!
OR
You can replace your battery

And I guess maybe you have a p52xx (Tab 3 10.1 from samsung and not fom tmobile etc.) , remember to use 2.1 A x 5 v charger. Do Not use Laptop Power to charge your device . It may be a bug or hardware issue for this problem.

Thanks for the response.. I'll keep it in mind for the future. For now, this did end up being a bad usb port.. i ordered the part same-day on Amazon and had it swapped in 10 minutes. as soon as it was back together it was charging normally again. kudos to samsung for not soldering the usb port to the mainboard!

Cannot turn on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 16GB 2014 - SM-P600

Oops - I accidentally posted this query originally in Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting by mistake.
Hopefully someone in this forum may be able to help ?
My SM-P600 was all OK until the battery was fully drained whilst auto playing playing YouTube videos.
I tried charging the tablet multiple ways but none were successful.
My wife has the same model tablet; I fully charged the battery on hers then swapped over the batteries.
As suspected the battery that came from my tablet was completely flat. I successfully recharged the battery in its' new location , recharged it used it to register and post my first query on the XDA site.
My tablet (which now has a fully charged battery in it) will not power on at all.
Any ideas what else I could try please? Are there any internal reset actions I could try?
Thanks in advance,
John
