I recently got a Galaxy Tab S but the screen stays black.

I do feel vibrations and hear sounds from the machine.

The tablet hasnt fell or anything like that.

Anybody has experience with this problem, or can anybody tell me how to fix this myself?

Kind regards,

Soester

I don’t know for sure how this happened but I can guess it cause of rainy day and the tablet was inside my bag .

I try to fix it with White Rice for 4 days but still not fix it . I don’t try to set it directly on sunlight sun with the rice , would it change something ?

Sometimes all the screen work and sometimes half of it get black-white lines .

when I turn it in Recovery mode - the half of it okay but still there has smash words like something not okay there .

The half of screen has Black-White lines and the other is good.

I would like to hear any suggestion that can help me with this situation.

Thanks.

It's been some months after my Tab S began to give me some problems(screen flickering, battery charging slowly and lasting less...), but 2 days ago the screen started to get a yellowish tint, as if it does not get any blue signal.

Since guarantee has expired, and I don't want to pay someone to repair it(For the price they ask me I have better changing tab), I'd like to try fixing it by myself.

I think the connector bringing the blue signal is detached/broken, but I don't know where it can be!

I even noticed that if I put some pressure in the mid-upper part of the screen(see the image attached), the colors turn back to normality... What can be the problem and how can I try to fix it?

Thanks,

Matteo.

Is there any chance you can do a teardown of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6? Or does anyone know of any teardowns? They've made it ridiculously thin and the speakers are freakishly powerful! I have no idea how they do it and Samsung were of little help.

When I check the updates it says it is up to date.

I would like to download an Application - Imaging Edge Mobile from Sony, so that I can check photos and videos taken on my Sony camera HX60V - It says the software is not compatible and I require Android version 7 at least to install the software.

How can I update the Android Version on my tablet?

I accidentally wiped my OS from my tablet before making a back up to restore with. Now I cannot access anything on my tablet apart from the initial “Samsung” boot screen. All buttons are functional.

I can currently access TRWP via recovery mode, however am having trouble coming to the point where I can reinstall an OS.

Could anyone guide me on how I could reinstall the OS again?

Thank you

I haven't charged the tablet since then and I wonder if that's going to effect the battery capacity or its performance, it was running great before I dropped it.

I got this Tab S as a refurb less than 30 days go. As soon as I got it, I wiped it and updated to most current Android available OTA. After 25 days or so I started to get a flicker where the screen turns off and on. Sometimes it drops out into the lock screen and it flickers from their instead of the home screen. The first day it happened I rebooted and it went away. 2 days later it came back and won't stop. It could be anecdotal but it felt like if I gave it a gentle shake or even dropped it a few inches onto my bed the flicker went away. I thought perhaps there was a loose connection inside. This no longer appears to be the case. Today the flicker continues regardless of any shaking. I haven't installed any new apps or changed any settings since I initially set it up.

Do you think this is a mechanical failure inside? This is what I initially thought as giving it a shake seemed to make it go away. Would it be worth opening up and re-seating the connections? I can't find any tear down vids that go beyond replacing the battery so I'm sort of apprehensive about the connectors.

Alternatively I can return the device to Best Buy before the 30 day refurb warranty runs out. If I return it they will not replace it, they will only return the cost. Given that I got a good deal and have already invested additional money into a case and memory card I'd prefer to keep the device if it's fixable.

Additional Info: The battery and charger seem fine, I've seen other people complaining about battery jumping and flicker. This seems to be a different issue.
