Fix Galaxy Tab A Won’t Turn On

Fix Galaxy Tab A Won’t Turn On

Posted on April 24, 2018 by Mitch Bartlett 8 Comments

Having trouble trying to get your Samsung Galaxy Tab A to turn on? This tutorial will help you bring it back to life.

  1. Connect the tablet to a wall power source using the wall charger and cable.
  2. Wait for about 10 minutes to ensure the tablet has gained enough power to start.
  3. Press and hold the “Volume Down” and “Power” buttons simultaneously for about 10 to 15 seconds.

Hopefully after these steps, your Galaxy Tab A is no longer just displaying a black screen and is starting to the Home screen.

If you still have problems, Perhaps the tablet is not getting enough charge. Try using a different USB charger and cable. Some users have reported that using a car charger worked for them.

Otherwise, the tablet may have a hardware defect or damage that can only be fixed by having the device serviced by Samsung.

    Thank you!!! Pressing the power + volume down trick worked. I was getting anxious that this 2 month old tablet is already useless…..
    Internet is amazing also for offering places like this where we find solutions instantly!

    I have a Samsung tab a and several times now it has turned off on its own and I have not been able to get it back on. I have tried power and volume down and it has worked once. It acts like the screen wont turn on because i hear the volume beeping. It might be time to put down the tablet but I wanted to make sure about this first.

    My Samsung tablet (I haven’t used in a while and has not been charged) will not turn on, but when plugged in makes a weird series of beeps. I do not know the model, but I am guessing Samsung Galaxy tab 3. It is the second Samsung tablet I have had to do this, but the only one I have left uncharged for a while. I would like some assistance on fixing the issue please.
