Recently, I accidentally nudged my tablet off of my bed, which is not very high. It fell to the ground and hit it quite lightly. However, the screen was flickering. Soon, the screen stopped flickering and all was well, but, after around 20 minutes, the screen flickered once more, but this time, instead of fixing itself, the flickering stopped and the screen seemed to die as such, leaving a grey coloured bar which takes up about a third of the screen. The area still works up there, but it is a solid light grey colour, with hints of whatever other colours are showing on the functioning part of the screen. I have reconnected the lcd cable multiple times. One thing is, this is a model which was refurbished (I think- purchased from ebay a long time ago), and it has some transparent green tape going across some areas, covering parts of the tablet. I can only guess that these are areas where repairs have happened, but I fear that that could be the problem. If someone could help me, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Cheers in advance.

Both need their screens replaced

I found a guy on ebay selling replacement screens for a super cheap price. Only thing is that the screens he is selling say they are for a

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" LCD & Digitizer Touch Glass SM-P607T

https://www.ebay.com/itm/184337994020?mk...

I have 1 tablet that is model number - SM-P605 & one that is a SM-P605V

Are the screens from model versions SM-P600 through SM-P607 ALL THE SAME ?

SM-P600 (Wifi)
SM-P601 (3G & Wifi)
SM-P602 (3G & Wifi, Turkey)
SM-P605 (LTE, 3G & Wifi)
SM-P607T (LTE, 3G & Wifi)

Then I found this forum with the exact same problem. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr...

So I looked into the USB charging port and sure enough, the pins were bent and damaged. So I ordered a new part, followed the guide here on replacing the charging cable inside. Plugged it in after the change - same exact problem.

I'm stumped and I can't find any others having this issue. What do you think? Bad motherboard?

Thanks -

I got my tablet working.  Here is how I did it.

I opened my Tablet up.   I used my fingernails to separate the chrome outside bezel from the screen just enough to slide a old credit card in and pry'ed the screen up, and continued all the way around twice until I was able to separate the the screen from the back.  I disconnected the battery, and then disconnected every ribbon cable visible, waited 30 secs and reconnected all but the LCD ribbon cable,   This cable is how the screen and backlight is connected to the tablet. I reconnected the battery and plugged the charger in, leaving the display ribbon cable unplugged.   I charged it for several hours using a 2.0A charger for my Galaxy Note 8 phone, and then I plugged the ribbon cable for the screen back in and it booted right up and works fine!

The reason why it was locking up is simple.

The battery was totally and completely discharged.  When this is the case it has a hard time taking a charge when the screen keeps booting up to display the charging icon and powers the backlight.   The voltage drops so low the processor fails, and Your frozen up until you disconnect the charger cord, then it dies.

First of all, sorry for my bad english !

I'm writing you regarding my tablet galaxy note 10.1 2014 version.

Since 2 weeks , I'm not enable to charge my Tablet.

Please find below the tests that I have done :

1- The tablet off : detect the charger. But doesn't charge ( after a while discharges)

2- The Tablet On : doesn't detect the charger, so it doesn't charge

• I tried more than 3 chargers that work with another tablets. Even with the PC USB it doesn't work.

Then :

1- I changed the USB connector . Model Nappe Dock Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for Edition 2014 SM-P600 / SM-P605 => Nothing changed.

2- I chaned teh Battery ( Original samsung). => nothing changed.

3- I tried a hard reset ( reset factory + wipe cache ...etc) => nothing changed !

I managed to charge my battery on another tablet to try if the other fonctions are ok ( Cam, Wifi, Screen, sound, display, SD Card ..etc) Everything is okay....Except the Charging part !

I have a multimeter if needed, to test the charging circuit, but I don't know how to do it, or where to test

I'm running out of ideas ! Could you please help me ?

I have tried all the recommended combination for reloading but nothing works, then all of a sudden the home page sometimes appears.

Do I have a loose connection or is the machine on its last legs?

my tablet loses charge very quickly.has freezing issues.then turns off.

also it gets quite hot .

thanks .

Now agressive pressing does nothing. When I plug it in, the screen shows battery loading, so it is not dead, but I still can’t get it to turn on. Removing and pluging back the charging cord does nothing more than showing picrute of charging battery. I have some hope, that maybe when it will have more battery charged it will turn on, but if not, ale there any alternative ways to wake it up with totally broken power button?
