Welcome to the forum Ben! Have you held down the power button for 30 seconds, or so? If that doesn't do it, I would try the trickle charge, by USBing to a PC for several hours. Make sure the PC doesn't go into sleep mode.

Wow thanks for the welcome and the fast reply !!!

I just tried the 30 sec test and nothing.. I have never had this happen before in the less than a yr owning it....
I will try the usb to pc trickle charge next, BTW when I use the wall jack usb charger. it does nothing to alert me it recognizes the charger has been attached... It always did before and would make a noise and show a display of a battery... Any thoughts?

Sounds very much like you might have a bad charging cable. If the trickle charge fails, see if you can locate a working cable, a friend or store, and see if it respond.

little update guys... I found the 30 pin connector was burnt in a spot which transferred onto the tablets pins. I contacted Samsung and they requested pics. This morning I got a call from them telling me a brand new tablet is being shipped out to me today and gave instructions to sending mine back.

I will see what happens when it arrives I dont wanna jinx myself. But great customer service so far. I will keep you all posted on outcome.

Thanks for the help here so far !

Glad things are getting resolved for you. I have moved your posts & their replies from Stylus into their own thread in the Tab 10.1 section for you as they were a little off thread / off device where they had been originally posted.

All the best
