I recently got a Galaxy Tab S but the screen stays black.

I do feel vibrations and hear sounds from the machine.

The tablet hasnt fell or anything like that.

Anybody has experience with this problem, or can anybody tell me how to fix this myself?

Kind regards,

Soester

I got this Tab S as a refurb less than 30 days go. As soon as I got it, I wiped it and updated to most current Android available OTA. After 25 days or so I started to get a flicker where the screen turns off and on. Sometimes it drops out into the lock screen and it flickers from their instead of the home screen. The first day it happened I rebooted and it went away. 2 days later it came back and won't stop. It could be anecdotal but it felt like if I gave it a gentle shake or even dropped it a few inches onto my bed the flicker went away. I thought perhaps there was a loose connection inside. This no longer appears to be the case. Today the flicker continues regardless of any shaking. I haven't installed any new apps or changed any settings since I initially set it up.

Do you think this is a mechanical failure inside? This is what I initially thought as giving it a shake seemed to make it go away. Would it be worth opening up and re-seating the connections? I can't find any tear down vids that go beyond replacing the battery so I'm sort of apprehensive about the connectors.

Alternatively I can return the device to Best Buy before the 30 day refurb warranty runs out. If I return it they will not replace it, they will only return the cost. Given that I got a good deal and have already invested additional money into a case and memory card I'd prefer to keep the device if it's fixable.

Additional Info: The battery and charger seem fine, I've seen other people complaining about battery jumping and flicker. This seems to be a different issue.

I have seen that it is possible to replace just the glass on this AMOLED screen but would rather attempt it on the 16Gb version than the 64Gb one. (I hate Samsung for not allowing adoptable storage on those devices. 16Gb on those is a pain, especially when they bundle 650Mb for Powerpoint in main memory)

For some reason I cannot install apps from unknown sources. Yes, I have enabled access to install them, but when I have to choose between 'cancel' and 'install', only the cancel button works. The install button does not respond at all. Have tried to reboot it, also tried other APK files.

Would be nice if someone could help me out!
