Samsung Galaxy Tab: How would I fix a bent on/off button and volume button?

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 01:34:44 -0700

So I recently dropped my Samsung tablet on the floor from a couple of feet.

I saw that the on/off button and volume button were severely bent, and that was because the small part of the silver case - thing around the buttons was bent.

This wouldn't be a problem except that my tablet just lost all of it's battery, and I have no way to turn it back on.

So how could I fix that?

Samsung Galaxy Tab: Display staying black after part replacement

Sat, 14 Dec 2024 11:47:11 -0700

Hi, I opened my Galaxy Tab S 6 Lite Wifi/4G to replace the USB port. The new USB port worked just fine, but unfortunately I tore off a small connector going to the display. (Not the main display cable.)

So the tablet turns on, but the screen remains black. In some guides I saw, there was only a main cable going to the display, not this small one.

Can I just order a standard display for Galaxy Tab S 6 Lite Wifi/4G to replace the display?

Samsung Galaxy Tab: Rear casing is magnetized, Is this OK?

Thu, 26 Sep 2024 21:28:52 -0700

Recently purchased the 10.1 inch Galaxy Tab A (SM-T580) for use with music. Placed it naked on my metal music stand (no case for it yet), and tablet stuck to it like glue. Same thing with paperclips etc. I went to Best Buy and sure enough, the same effect happened on their display model. There seems to be magnetic areas around the perimeter of the casing. Contacted Samsung support and they seem oblivious and want me to send to a Samsung service center (heck, I'll just return to store if I wanted to).

Everything seems to be working fine and I like what I bought, but I am concerned that the magnetic issue will be a problem in the future.

If anyone else noticed this about this same model (black)? Should I worry?

Thank for any help.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0: Doesn't turn on and says to download custom OS.

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 04:56:07 -0700

One day my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 turned off, and I tried holding down the power and volume buttons. It said it needed to download a custom OS or press down on the volume button for restart. Every time I go to restart it just stays at the "Samsung" screen and when I go to download, it will just stay on the screen of the Android character. It says it's downloading, but it will just stay like that until it turns off. Please help.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: Power button not working

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 04:57:14 -0700

My galaxy tablet 10.1 with S pen seems to no longer be working with the power button. I first noticed it when it wouldn’t turn off or even go into sleep mode (such as when watching a video app, It used to just go directly to sleep mode/standby). The tablet drained power completely, now it won’t turn on. It shows the battery charging percent meter on the sleep screen. Other than the button (which still moves and feels like it should) not doing its job, the tablet was functioning normally. I have low level skills, and feel like if there was a video on how to do this I would dive right in. Its not doing any good, doing nothing.

My thought is that if I could take the cover off, perhaps I could visually inspect the button, and use a multimeter to test for current across it. Is there anything I could read, watch, try, start, figure out from here? I’ve tried all the button combination holds, what’s next? Thank you
