Samsung Galaxy TabPro S: Big issue after update

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 09:31:38 -0700

Hi everyone,

I'm posting this thread because i'm really stuck since my Galaxy tab pro S (SM-W700) get updated by Windows 10.

The previous day everything was fine, and in the evening, when i wanted to switch it off, the device displays : "Update in progress, do not turn off your computer".

So i let it work and go to bed.

The day after, when i came to use it, i got a message : "boot guard verified dxe that is fail"

Impossible to enter windows, impossible to enter the UEFI, i'm really stuck...

So any help will be welcome !

Samsung ATIV Smart PC 500T: has a broken earbud port and the internal speakers don't work.

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 07:19:21 -0700

Is there a teardown video for the samsung ativ smart pc 500t. I have one that has a broken earbud port and the internal speakers don't work. I'm thinking there is a relationship with the earbud port and the speakers. When I opened it up I saw what was wrong but not a clear way to disassemble it further. If some has a video I would really appreciate emailing the link to me at eccentric_daughter@yahoo.ca

Samsung ATIV Smart PC 500T: Can't boot from USB or HDD, flicks back to BIOS immediately

Wed, 07 Apr 2021 18:24:13 -0700

Samsung ATIV tab 500T won’t boot. It enters BIOS immediately. Trying to boot off USB results in a screen refresh then enters BIOS immediately. I was able to at one point start a windows install but it failed and since then I can’t get past BIOS.

Ideas?

I suspect bad BIOS but am unable to locate any BIOS update file for this model.

During a repair for my Samsung Tab Pro S I accidently ripped the connection flex cable for the keyboard. It was fixed so soundly in the back-cover that it didn’t come off.

Is there any way to get further into the Tab to repair it? I already have a replacement.

Thanks in advance
