Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 Not Charging!

[Anonymous]

HELLLLPPPPPP! I have had my Samsung Galaxy tab s since around October/November last year. I have had no problems with it until this evening. I took my tab to work with me in my handbag. Took out this lunchtime and to my surprise it would not switch on at all. Am at home now and have been trying to turn it on now that it is plugged in. But alas it shows no signs of life whatsoever. No power, no nothing.

Is my tab dead? Have i not got no tab to play with? Or can it be repaired. I have quite a lot of stuff on it which i dont want to lose.

Can some knight in shining armour help a damsel in distress?

Thank you for the update.

I'm hoping you didn't break any housing seals as this would show ,and perhaps invalidate any remaining warranty.

I am glad it worked for you @Anonymous .. and have to say you are braver than me...as I would not have attempted anything so technical

Still...as you say it worked...you now have your Tab charging... so good for you..

Surely warranty would have covered this?

Well done but I would not ever recommend that fix.
You didn't save any money as that repair is covered by warranty and now your warranty is dead as you have opened the unit up.
Well done, but I hope you have no further issues that may have needed a warranty repair.

Even though it would probably have been covered under warranty, if the device was full of valuable personal data, I think it was better to repair it at home and avoid the risk of loosing it.

And anyway, it's fun taking things to bits .

Why not add a bit more memory and a second sd card slot while you're at it .
