Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6 Verizon: Tablet went dead and won't turn on

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 21:55:09 -0700

My device doesn't power on when I press the power button, and doesn't seem to be responding to anything. I tried connecting it to a charger, but to no avail. What potential issues might've caused my device to stop turning on?

Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6 Wi-Fi: Why won't my tablet charge nor turn on?

Sat, 25 Feb 2017 07:58:04 -0700

I left my tablet charging one night, and when I woke up, it was at 10%. It refused to charge, so I turned it off and tried charging it while it was off.

Again, I woke up, but my tablet was at 8%. I turned it back on and let it charge, and it still refused, so I discharged the battery.

Now, the tablet won't turn on and the area near the charging port becomes hot when I charge it.

Is there any known way of fixing this aside from sending it in for repair?

Samsung Galaxy Tab E: ( E:failed to find /misc partition )

Thu, 03 Feb 2022 20:01:57 -0700

How do I find the partition

I spilled water and it got in my tablet it has a crack in the screen, I quickly grabbed it up and in a panic tried to fling the water outans swung it and patted it against the bed then shut it off . My boyfriend took a blow-dryer on low and no heat to it then I tried to turn it on it loaded to the recovery mode but stays stuck on the initial coman page when I try to factory reset or restart or anything, it just acts like it's going to but then comes back to that same list of commands

Oh and it's a tab E 8.0 not a 9.6;, i apologise for the confusion

Samsung Galaxy Tab E 8.0: Tablet screen is very dim

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 01:53:41 -0700

Hello! I need a bit of help trying to fix my tablet. I dropped it on it's side earlier, and now the screen's brightness seems to be very low. The device is still working well, I can use it like I would everyday. But the screen is super dim, almost impossible to see in the light and dark rooms.

I assume this may be an issue with the backlight. Is there any way to fix this? :[

Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6 Wi-Fi: Screen cracked but still working. What do I need to replace?

Sun, 20 Jun 2021 22:51:52 -0700

I just dropped my old Samsung Galaxy Tab E9.6 and the screen is badly cracked with bits of loose glass, but the LCD still works.

When I search for replacement screens, I mostly find stuff that costs $50 or more that include a new LCD, but I also find a few results that only replace the digitizer but not the LCD, for $11-20. I’m not entirely sure what a digitizer is, though.

Is that good enough for my situation? LCD and touch still work fine as far as I can tell, it’s just the glass that’s badly cracked.

(Also, the home button doesn’t work anymore; I suspect water damage from way back. I can work around it, but if this replacement also fixes the home button, that would be a nice bonus.)

Tue, 04 Aug 2020 06:29:51 -0700

The home button on my tablet got stuck, which either renders it inoperable or closes me out of apps. I was hoping maybe I wouldn't need to get it repaired and might be able to find an online solution. Please let me know if there's a solution!
