Help Bricked Samsung Tab S5e Tablet - Cant boot into recovery/bootloader

ergdroid

Hello,

I have an error screen on my tablet whenever I turn it on or plug it in. It shows the below message:
"<!>

Visit this link on another device:
g.co/ABH"

I can't load up the device or access any boot menus by using any power and volume key combos - it just brings me back to the error screen. Same screen if I plug into my laptop or charger.

My pc also doesn't recognise the device when I plug it in despite download the drivers for it from the samsung website. Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
It's not a good sign if you cannot boot up at all. Even if the installed Android operating system was corrupted, you should still be able to at least boot up into Recovery or Download mode as neither is tied directly to the OS (both accessible before the OS even starts to get loaded into memory).

Have you left it charging for at least an hour to so? If there is a serious hardware failure involved, since this is a relatively new model any chance you still have any warranty coverage?
