Posted February 7, 2016 Hello, Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I thought someone here might know what is wrong with my tablet. I have not used it for around 5 or 6 months, turned it on to charge and was greeted by this screen (shown below) Does anyone know what this means or how to fix it? I've tried a few 'soft reset' options, but nothing helps - the only other screen i get is the 'SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB PRO' screen. If the picture isn't clear enough, what is on screen is a White Battery with a white circle in it Any thoughts or help for this would be appreciated!

Yep, i just did it - only the logo displays but i cant progress any further, it just sits showing 'Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro' Looks like its not charging at all either, since If i disconnect the charger it immediately turns off.

Im not sure what that is, but the furthest i can get is either - Samsung Logo/Model White Empty Battery with circle EDIT - Just read the guide, i do not get any boot menu after releasing the buttons and reaching the logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 7, 2016 I've seen this sort of thing happen with power tool batteries. Usually if you quickly unplug and re-plug the power plug in the wall multiple times, it will trick the battery into charging past the 100% dead stage, and it should charge like normal.

I think you may have solved it, i plugged it into the wall and took it out and placed it in a few times, seems to be charging now with a green charger bar. Ill post here in an hour or so to give you guys an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
