Hello,
My Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (8GB, no memory card) hasn’t turned on for two days; indeed, when I try to power it on, nothing happens, even when I plug it in to charge, there’s no sign of life (the charging LED doesn’t light up).
I’ve already tried the “hard reset” method but nothing works....
Do you have any other solutions that might be able to get it working again?
Thanks in advance,
Axel

Hello to you unfortunate owners of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 tablet that has suddenly turned off and refuses to turn back on even when plugged in.
I just experienced the same anxiety, and after several attempts at "turning it back on, unplugging, replugging, and even shaking it," I was getting ready to do the warranty process when I stumbled upon the solution (on another forum):
"The tablet seems to be off and won't turn back on. In reality, it is on; the OS has just frozen badly. So the screen no longer lights up, and we think it is off... To fix the issue, I hold down the power button for a long time (20 to 30 seconds); I think this forces it to shut down, then all that's left is to turn it back on..."
So before you lose all hope and throw away your beloved gadget, try this; it worked for me on the first try (phew!!).
I plugged it in, and I held the "power" button for about 20 seconds, I believe, until I saw the green "battery" icon appear again. Hallelujah!
A word to the wise...

Good morning, my tablet had the same problem. So I charged it and pressed the power button for 20 seconds and it started working again. Thank you so much for all the comments!
