Beards!

Thanks to your advice. Was able to turn on my Samsung Galaxy Note again!
I was surfing the net when it suddenly lagged and turned off automatically. I wasn't able to turn it on until I found the answer in your forum! Thanks for the help! :)
 
I woke up yesterday and its showing the samsung start-up logo. I waited but its still stuck. There is a vibration while the samsung text is stuck in my screen. Whenever I turn it off and on again, it still stuck on the samsung text with vibrations. I tried reboot/wipe cache partition using power key and volume +. But it won't do anything.
All my files are saved in my tab.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!
 
I tried all the options above,
the one thing I don't understand is; when I plug it into my pc and hold the power + volume up it asks for a CD. Nobody ever got this "CD" and when I try to search in my pc files it can't find the needed, APX file.

Anyone the same problem?
Or the solution?
 
This solution worked. Thanks for your help.

Amy,
What you need to do is press and hold the power button whilst at the same time touching the screen (you may have to wait up to 30 seconds as it clears the system).
You will then notice the battery indicator pops up.
The Tablet will then reboot .
Everything goes back to normal.

If that fails to work ~ Connect the power cable and repeat the above steps.

Worked great, EXCEPT I needed to push the power button one extra time to get it to reboot, as the battery was flat.

Vote for Beards !!
 
Hello dear Beards,

I was desperate when my Samsung 7" + tablet, for the first time, refused to turn on this evening. It was dead, no charging nor connecting to my PC worked. And then I found your instruction and like a brilliant magic, my tablet is working again, exactly as you wrote above. Out of a sheer delight I just had to register to this forum in order to convey my sincere gratitude. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You saved me and Samsung as I almost was going to crucify Samsung company with nasty comments.

A happy mama from Vienna, Austria :-)
 
Thank you so much for your helpful post! My tab just turned itself off and wouldn't turn back on. Yours was the first and only solution I needed to try!!! AWESOME!

Happy Christmas to all of you :)
 
Thank you Beards!!! That was an awesome quick fix for me! I was a little hesitant when I found this on google search because I have never heard anyone use the word "whilst" in a sentence lol... You must be a Brit :-) all kidding aside... Thank You Thank You Thank You, I now have my beloved and cherished tablet back on
