TABLET – Samsung 10.1 reboot method

A few times now my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet has allegelly ‘died’ and it seems there are many methods available to try and resurrect it before I could totally admit that it had actually ‘died’.

The tablet may appear like it’s totally dead and completely unresponsive where all attempts to reset by holding in the power button failed. So here is the method that DOES get it working again:-

• Make sure you’ve had it on the charger for at least an hour or so. It won’t start without enough charge.

• Press and hold the on button. Keep it down for at least 10 seconds or longer.

• At the same time, keep a finger constantly touching the screen.

• Keep watching and you might see a slight change of color on the screen.

• Hold it down for 15 seconds or more. Be patient.

• You should get the battery icon or a Samsung logo.

• Once you get an image, you’re ready to remove your finger and then press the power button for 10 seconds and the tablet will shutdown.

• Now power up as normal to reboot.
