I starting to guess that it might be a motherboard issue. Has anyone here experienced something similar?

Here's a photo from where the heat comes from:

I have recieved this tablet a few days a ago, ordered original samsung charger and tried charging it up and turning it on, however the tablet wont turn on (not even a battery icon doesn’t show up). I tried taking it apart, disconnecting the battery for a while connector, holding the power button and volume buttons in various combinations but no luck. I also tried charging it with higher voltage charger (I read somewhere that it might help) but recieved the same result as before.

Asking here is kind of my last resort because I need it fixed asap, any ideas please ?

And now my touch screen, or my power button won't

work. The battery is at 100% appearantly and i cant turn it on, with or without the charger plugged in, ive tried the whole "wait two hours and press this button and that button for so long" I've tried it all and nothing.

Was stuck on "SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" screen and when I powered it off it powered back on to the screen I described and as pictured.

No it won't go into recovery mode using the POWER and Vol - or + buttons. It is also no longer recognizable through USB on my computer so Odin and Kies is out of the question for now.

Anyone got a clue???

I searched the web for answers, but I only find the solution of changing the main board.

Can someone provide me the schematics for the charging circuit on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5100 and instructions on how to fix it or bridge it so i can get the tablet to charge?

I found the service schematics and service manual: link here, but I can not find any information about battery temperature troubleshooting.

Can someone with more experience please point me out the possible troubleshooting information?

I wish a fix or work-around to set a fixed temperature in the range of 5 ° C to 39 ° C so I can charge the tablet.

THE WRONG PASSWORD!? I don't know how it could be the wrong password when I have been able to get into it in the past with the same password that I have on it?

So my question is how do I get into my tablet to reset the password or anything else when It won't let me? Is there some way I can get into my own Tablet?? I would appreciate any and all help!!

Thank you Cheryl
