Having trouble trying to get your Samsung Galaxy Tab A to turn on? This tutorial will help you bring it back to life.
- Connect the tablet to a wall power source using the wall charger and cable.
- Wait for about 10 minutes to ensure the tablet has gained enough power to start.
- 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.
