Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4: galaxy tab pro 8.4 rebooting problem - battery?

Thu, 22 Jun 2017 23:54:17 -0700

My Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 keeps rebooting. This happens frequently like at 97% battery capacity, then it reboots and it drops to 93% capacity, goes through the Samsung title screens, then gets to the "swipe screen", then it reboots itself again, and does this repeatedly until the battery life shows around 57%. What is wrong, has the battery built up the memory that it needs to be replaced already? Is it the tablet that is malfunctioning? HELP!!

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4: Why does my tablet keep freezing?

Thu, 05 Sep 2019 04:05:06 -0700

Did factory data reset twice but my tablet keeps freezing. I can only use for a short time then I have to restart just to get it to work because the system freezes. Any apps I try to download don't work either. This just started randomly happening one day.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4: Why won't my tablet work without charge?

Sun, 24 Sep 2017 14:13:27 -0700

My samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4 SM-T320 will mot work without being constantly charging. If not, it will either:

-Flash the screen on and off, turn off, restart, and repeat until dead.

-Flash screen on and off, and die instantly.

I don't know what to do about it. I have lots of data on it, but I can't do anything with it because of this.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4: LCD broken while trying to repair screen?

Mon, 12 Sep 2016 07:57:32 -0700

I have a tablet that was dropped onto the floor and the screen cracked. Originally it appeared only the digitizer was broken and the LCD was fine because I was still able to turn it on and navigate the device using the cracked digitizer.

So I bought a digitizer online and tried to replace it, but when I assembled everything, I saw a white background with a bunch of lines and some dark areas on the side. So was the LCD damaged during the repair process?

I did notice that if I pressed down on the digtizier (not fully glued in yet), I saw a vague image of an icon but still had some fuzziness to it. So am I suppose to be able to see something coherent if the digitizer is not glued tightly to the LCD or does some sort of pressure need to be applied to really see something?

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4: Rebooting continuously. How to replace power switch?

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4" is rebooting continuously.

Have tried complete reset by wiping out data. The Battery has full charge. But it keeps happening.

My suspect is the power button. I think it is stuck and hence would like to replace the switch.

Kindly suggest me other alternatives to debug this problem, and also let me know how to replace the power switch.

Thanks.

Regards.
