Yesterday I turned off my Tab s6 lite, and it would not turn on. I figured the battery must have run out, so I let it charge overnight. In the morning, though, it still would not turn on. I've tried forced restart with no luck.
The device is currently running on Stock Lite ROM, which could have something to do with this. Another thing worth mentioning is that the tablet broke almost immediately after inserting a Chinese SD-card into it. However, this issue seems to be very common with this model, so I doubt that it has anything to do with the custom ROM or the SD-card..
The unpleasant fact is that the tablet has no warranty for I have installed a custom ROM, and just letting a technician have a look costs a small fortune.
I use a galaxy S8 phone and kind of the same thing happened to me yesterday. I press the power button along with one of the volume buttons and keep them pressed at least 30 seconds and i keep doing that, rotating the buttons in no particular order. So far, it's come back every time. Good luck. You might need to hook it up to a computer and try that way.
It is obvious that something got on to the tablet but not sure through the custom ROM, SD card or both. Please share what worked if it ever comes back on. Unfortunately, this is one of the risks with uncertified firmware and cheap SD cards. Good luck
Alright. Removing the battery didn't help either. I'm beginning to believe that the motherboard has fried somehow. No idea if it has anything to do with the Chinese SD-card - unlikely, i think.
