Help with Samsung tablet flashing screen

[merakiwho]

Ok so i have an issue where my tablet died, but when i plugged up the screen just flashes constantly, it doesn't even show the charging symbol. I have tried different chargers too. Is there anyway to fix? It is a galaxy tab s6 lite, if that makes a difference

It's an old tablet. It's likely the battery has reached the end of its life. Has just enough power to flash its last gasps.

There have been a few different versions of the Tab S6 Lite released throughout the years. Do you remember when it was purchased?

It was purchased in 2022 I believe

Ah ok, there are a couple different steps you can take to troubleshoot. First, with the tablet plugged in, hold the Power button and Volume down button at the same time for about 20 seconds. This should force a restart.

If a forced reboot does nothing, connect the tablet to a lower power source, like a desktop or laptop. Leave it charging like this for a couple hours. The battery could just be very depleted.

Hello merakiwho,

we want to thank you for verifying you have attempted all the previously recommended troubleshooting to correct this power/ display concern and regret to advise the next step is to have the tablet device serviced. Due to the age of the tablet, the service will be out -of-warranty, which means you can find a local provider, or you can contact one of our certified service centers using this link https://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/ to proceed.
