Cannot access playstore or web browser

Hi all, I have the samsung galaxy note 10.1 tablet. Have had it since October 2012 and had no problems. Suddenly two days ago, all apps/games that I have previously downloaded through the playstore, stopped opening or responding. Also, playstore will not connect. And the web browser, I can do searches in it, but if I click on a result, it goes nowhere. I have tried live chat with samsung, no fix. I have tried clearing cache and data, done reboots, done a factory reset, nothing seems to help. There are no problems with any other pre loaded apps (ones that come already on the tablet) only playstore. I am running 4.1.2 . I have also tried resetting my modem, and then deleting the wifi account and re adding, to no avail. Can anyone help please??:confused:
 
It comes to this then.
You have to reflash your phone with an original ROM.
Or to force a OTA update. (<== google it)

1.Go to Information 4 All and find the original rom of your tablet.
2.Download a program called ODIN Odin
3.Boot your tablet in download mode
4.Connect it to a PC via USB
5.Open odin
6.find the *.md5 file you downloaded (md5 is the Rom you downloaded)
7.Click PDA in odin
8.A window should pop up navigate to the *.md5
9.Click the md5
10.You should automaticaly return to Odin and the md5 sholuld be selected on PDA
11.Click start
12.Wait about 10 minutes until Odin says PASS in a green square
13.Your phone should reboot automaticaly and everything should be back to normal.

:) JUST BE CAREFUL WHEN REFLASHING
