When it does not have enough power, it can't switch on. And even a new charger can't get in any power if inside the tablet is something wrong. Like a dirty or defect connector, or inside a bad or broken cable. also check the connector, where you put the charger cable in.
Did you allow the battery to run down until it was completely drained?
- If so then try the following;
Watch this video (link below). You should only remove the back cover, disconnect and reconnect battery cable. Disregard the rest of the video as I could not find one doing ONLY what you would need to do. Follow the instructions to remove the back of the tablet then disconnect the battery cable(careful not to damage the circuit board), reconnect the battery cable, and replace the back cover. Connect the charger, within a minute the screen on the tablet will pulse/flicker which is good news, allow it to charge a while, turn on the device, turn off the wireless wifi, click the power button to turn the screen dark again, and allow to charge for another 6 hours or till fully charged (when not connected to wifi the background processes will affect the charge time, on a weak charger it may not even charge like from an usb port on a computer).
Again, you should only be concerned with the video up to about the 1 minute and 15 second mark. You only need to disconnect the cable then reattach it. ONLY DO SO if you are comfortable doing so. If you have never worked on electronics before or are uncomfortable find someone to do it for you.
Your tablet's battery is probably dead. This may be because you have a bad battery, a bad charger, or a bad charging cable. Try using a different cable first and let it charge for a few hours - even if it doesn't look like it is charging.
If the new cable doesn't do it, try using a different charger. Samsung devices are picky about what charger you use, so try to use one made for your tablet. If you don't have another charger, plug it into a PC's USB port with the PC turned on. Leave them on and plugged in over night. That should trickle charge your tablet.
If neither of those work, try holding down the power and the Volume Up buttons. Keep them both pressed until the Samsung logo/boot screen comes up - should only be a couple seconds. Once the logo comes up release the power button but keep holding the Volume Up button. That will boot you into Recovery Mode. If that comes up, it means you've got power and your tablet isn't broken, but there is something wrong with the Android OS that is keeping your tablet from powering up normally. Use the Volume Up and Down buttons to move the selection highlight to the Factory Reset option. This will wipe all the info off your tablet and put it back into a "brand new just out of the box" state. You'll lose your information on the tablet, but this should fix the boot problem. Press the power button to chose the Factory Reset option. It will take a few minutes. Once it says that it is done, select the Reboot or Restart option. It should reboot. This boot will take longer than normal, since its wiping things out. But not more than a few minutes.
Samsung galaxy is a powerful device which require at least a 2A charger to charge it well. computer can only deliver 0.5A and thus is not enough power to charge your tablet. Connect it to the wall AC charger that come with the tablet and you'll be able to charge it just fine
