it depends.. check the battery pack maybe this cause a over charge and check first if your galaxy tablet is still part of the warranty this will help you a lot.

Hi!Maybe this will work:1. Try a different charger.2. Connect it to a pc to see if that can charge your tablet (if this is working, it means that your charger is the problem)3. If none of the above works, then is the battery or the device itself that don't function properly and you should go to check it on a autorized service shop.
Hope this will help you!
Have a nice day!

It sounds to me like you have an issue with your Galaxy Tab's charging port.

Fortunately it is still under warranty if you've just recently purchased it.

Take it back to the store or contact Samsung for a warranty replacement. They may be able to help you recover items from the memory.

Hope this helped!

Thanks!

First put the charger plug in the Tab, I just tried mine that was sitting on the desk, even though I held the power on button for a long time it would not start. I pluged the charger in so the red charging light is on Tried to start and it worked perfectly. i.e. the voltage level is very critical, if it is a fraction low it won't start.

Detailed instructions are here to reset your tab without pulling the battery: http://www.mojocode.com/content/samsung-galaxy-tablet-101s-wont-boot

Most likely that it's faulty. Sometimes it takes awhile before it charges itself, specially it you drained. But if you left it plugged in for a day and still nothing happened then I think it's gone dead.

Try the following though and see if it helps.

1. Press and hold the power for about 10-15 seconds. or
2. Press and hold the power and the Volume up or Volume down at the same time for about 10-15 seconds.

If nothing happens then I suggest you send your tab for a repair.

Hope it helps.
