Comment passe t'on de l'étape 6 à 7 ? (plastique gris qui fait le tour)
My 10.1 tablet switches on but the only thing showing on the screen is the “Samsung Galaxy 10.1” logo.
If the on/off button is held down for 20 seconds or so the screen goes blank for a few seconds then the logo reappears but nothing else happens. This logo only disappears when the battery is fully discharged.
After re-charging the battery the whole process is repeated
Any suggestions as to the problem
