Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0: Device does not power on when connected to charger

Sat, 02 Apr 2022 22:09:44 -0700

Hi there,

My Samsung Note 8.0 tablet (Model: SGH-1467) is unable to power on when connected to the charger. Last time I used this device I left it on the charger for too long and it wouldn't start up after unplugging it. This was several years ago.

I am trying to power it up now so I can clean it and possibly resell the device. Just reconnected it to the charger and nothing is happening. I opened up the device from the back and there is no damage showing from what my amateur eyes can see.

What are possible solutions or things I can try to get the device to power on again? What are possible problems going on?

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0: Nothing on Screen except colored, horizontal lines

Thu, 08 Jul 2021 23:10:41 -0700

To my knowledge, my tablet hasn't been dropped in the last week. I had my tablet in it's case, in a bag. I haven't used in a week but it was still on after taking a picture with it. I go to turn it on and most of the background is white with all different colored lines on it. The top is black with one white line and many running lines shooting across the screen. It still vibrates for notifications and it made the chime noise when I turned it off and back on again.

Maybe it needs a reset? I cannot find out how to do it through a computer. I plugged it in my computer and can see the files.

I purchased this tablet almost 2 years ago, Summer of 2013. I paid 450 roughly and I am very upset this has happened. Any help will be greatly appreciated. If I can fix it myself I would rather, because if take it to best buy they may only have a solution that costs lots of money.

Thank you so much!

Mon, 11 Jan 2021 08:23:37 -0700

Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5110 does not display anything and makes no noise when the charger is plugged in and will not turn on.

With multimeter I measure 4.2V between black and red. is that still ok?

What defect do you suspect behind this?
