Hi, I need your expert opinions regarding my S7. It refuses to turn on or power up either with the battery or the charger plugged after an "unsuccessful" firmware upgrade. Did I brick my tablet?

I have already successfully upgraded from the stock 2.1 to 2.2.2 (Indo ROM) previously. Then recently, my S7 hung on the "IDEOS" logo after powering-up. Tried hard reset, recovery and fast-boot to no avail. So I eventually decided to re-flash via SD using 2.2.2 Indo ROM again. During the upgrade process, the progress bar stopped midway and my S7 reset. Tried to repeat the process with similar results, simply the upgrade failed. After that, my S7 does not turn on anymore. I tried removing the battery and plugged the AC charger but still it won't power up. I don't think this is a hardware issue and I suspect it has something to do with the failed upgrade.

Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance!




Hey Did you get any answer
 
I have the same problem. Is due to the power jack on the tablet. If you look inside it, the metal in the middle is broken. I searched a jack identical but have not found. The only way is to remove the two wires from the (+) and (-) and connect a different type of plug. The problem is I do not know which are the polarities on the motherboard. $contacts.JPG
 
Check the polarity symbol on the case. It will look like either of these:

The third contact of the five that have lines running through them in the image you provided is the center pin, which is the dot with the line leading to the + or - mark on the right. The barrel connectors will be the opposite polarity.
 
If you could measure the polarity, then why were you having an issue with the polarity not being marked on the motherboard? Or did I misunderdtand you this morning?

That bottom negative could be the ground. The two positives and two negatives are plausible, but powering it up is the only way to be sure.
 
Thank you Traveller. Socket on the motherboard is faulty. When inserted power jack, I can not see what polarity is on the motherboard.
 
The piece of metal in the middle socket on the motherboard is broke and remained in power jack. Because of this no longer feeds the tablet. In my opinion this is the problem for all colleagues from this post. I apologize for my english.
 
Then there's nothing to do but wire up a new jack using those contact points. Desoldering the old jack from the board though might clarify whether that bottom pin is negative or is, as I believe it to be, ground.

i solved the problem by taking it apart disconnecting the battery cable for 5 seconds reconnect it and put tablet back together. use a usb cable and charge the tablet via pc on usb overnight. that solved the problem for me, finally after 4 months of being completely dead there's life. the problem is that the battery drains completely and it takes a while to charge before it shows
