Chosen Solution
Replaced the charging port and now the tablet won’t turn on. Attempted to reboot multiple times by holding power button/volume keys for 10-15 seconds in different combinations, which had no affect. I’ve also tried charging the tablet. I’ve examined the hardware to make sure I didn’t forget to put anything back in it’s place, and no parts appear to be damaged. It’s possible there was damage done to the screen while prying the back cover off (the tool slipped in between the screen and the panel attached to it a few times) but I’m not entirely sure. If this is the case, would replacing the screen resolve the issue?
Borb “If this is the case, would replacing the screen resolve the issue?” yes it would. If it is the case. FOr now, follow the flowchart for your systems No power and No Charge and see if you can determine where the issue originates from. Use this file Galaxy Tab A PCB and open it with your PDF reader. Then use the search function to isolate the components you need to check according to the flow charts.
