I've had issues with charging port and the USB notification popping up, I was told how to fix that, but anyways this is the second time and second infuse were I have had issues with the charging port/USB pop up and the screen not turning on, any help in figuring how to fix this, I'm already out of claiming insurance. Thanks for the help!
If anyone can help with a description of how to fix the charging port with a list of parts that would be great, I figure if I fix that problem it may help the screen also. Thanks

I have this problem, if I turn off the phone, it appears the logo of the battery charge alone, of course, the charger is not connected.
What could be causing this?
I hear wriggling a small part of the usb tab might sort this out.
problem hardware ?
I'm too tired to do so now, but have a look over the last couple of pages in the Q&A and General forums. There have been others who had the same problem and detailed what they did to fix it. If yours is the same issue, it shouldn't be hard to fix at all. If it is not that simple, speak to Samsung for warranty purposes.
If you are tired you could not even answer
Needless to respond to accumulate posts
Hi everyone, my asus tablet doesn't want to turn on anymore :crying: as you can see in this video the screen is flickering when I move it or press the tablet. it seems like a Hardware issue, I have found nothing in tubes about how to fix it.
When the tablet is booting I can see the logo animation but if move the tablet it just crash and stop booting
Can someone help me or give me some tips to repair it please
It has ICS installed
If you leave it completely still will it boot? did anything cause the issue e.g dropped it, splilled liquid on it, software update etc. If its not booting it would suggest hardware damage (as opposed to a loose connection).
Try connecting it via hdmi and see if the issue continues on a external screen if so you have hardware problems.

Being completely still doesn't work neither :/ it started to crash when the tablet was slightly shaked and sometimes when the keyboard was slide out
Thanks for the HDMI tip, I 'll try and let you know!
Thanks!!
Look for a tutorial to replace the screen, but just reseat the cable, don't actually replace it... unless you're sure the screen is the problem. Many issues were solved by simply disconnecting and reconnecting the ribbon cable.
My brother's girlfriend has an SGH-i997r (the canadian varient of the Infuse 4G for Rogers) and it was stuck in a bootloop one day, it would show Rogers logo, Samsung logo, black screen, repeat. She removed the battery and it then changed the bootloop to a loading icon, then an empty battery logo, black screen, repeat.
I figured I would give it a go and try to see what I could do with it and I found some stuff that just says this is a power button problem and to clean out the power button however I found out it's the actual button on the board that's malfunctioning.
I took a stab at it by attempting to reflow the motherboard and after reflowing, the board was cool and I assembled the phone just enough to turn it on and it actually started up to the Samsung animated boot logo this time then half way though it stopped and turned off again but then it came up with the battery icon and started charging.
So if I just focus the reflow area to the power button alone I think I may be able to fix this without replacing the physical switch on the board itself so I'll keep posted on how this goes as this may be another new alternative to fixing the bootloop problem with these phones and if anyone else has any tips I could try to alternativly fix this if it still doesn't work it would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
It got it working but the power button is still very touchy and needs to be replaced. It turns out that reflowing these boards will allow the power button to start functioning again or at least long enough that you can back up all of your data/restore to stock ROM before sending it in to Samsung.
I hope this helps anyone else with this problem. It worked pretty good for me, I just held a hair drier over the board with it facing away from me so the power and volume buttons were facing towards me (as if the LCD would be facing me and the battery facing away from me) and I heated it up for 1 minute, let cool for 1 minute, and I would repeat this for about 10 minutes in total and it starts up every time now, it just turns the screen off if I ever so lightly brush my finger along the power button, other then that though it's working and I'm sure she'll be pleased it didn't cost a cent.
Best of luck to anyone else with this problem.
Post in q and a thread. Might help other ppl

Yeah, I didn't think of that
I fixed the phone completely, she ordered some new buttons off of eBay for a buck with free shipping, gave them to me and I removed the existing buttons and changed all of them to new ones and now the phone works perfect. I guess as a temporary fix you can reflow the board to the point where you can back up your data, but for a long term fix you need to replace the buttons.
I hope this helps anyone else having this problem. I may have pictures of the process still I can upload if anyone is interested or needs help.

Hi,
My Note Pro 12.2 P900 64gb is now stuck on the samsung screen of booting up and I am wondering if anyone can help me figure out what to do next.
I was experiencing the flickering issue for the last two weeks which got progressively worse and eventually caused random rebooting. One time last week it started booting slower and then it wiped out some widgets on my start screen and the apps in touchwiz but most everything else was OK. Then yesterday it would not boot up past the samsung screen. It charges up OK, and I can get to Odin where it asks if I want to load another operating system by holding power and vol up. But unless it is plugged in, just holding power off puts it in a boot loop.
The other part is if it is stuck and I hold power off it usually vibrates twice before boot looping.
I rooted the tablet when I got it, but still run stock touchwiz, I just needed some rooted apps namely LMT pie controls.
Can anyone please point me towards what to do next. Thank you very much for your help.
I guess wiping data and factory reset is your only solution right now
I shall warn you you could lose your data so I hope you already have a backup!
And also I've read that lollipop fixed flickering issue in p900 devices
I hope everything goes well for you
Good luck
hey there, you are not the only one, check this post. it seems is somethig related to battery issues

When power on, try pressing on the back, near the center with your hand. to see if it can boot normally,
Keep pressing while power on. if it works I will tell you what causing this problem.

here you can look by the minute 2:30 where the connector is located, basically under the samsung logo. I'm not doing tests yet because i have a busy day ahead
Thank you all for the responses. Holding down the back while powering on does not help. I do have the flickering thing and that started leading up to this. Lay night I took it the battery and disconnected it for a half hour and that did not help. Looking at the connections with a 20x hand lens did not reveal any cracks.
I don't remember how to wipe the data off the device, I got it right when it came out rooted it with cf root and never got around to twrp. All I wanted was LMT and Xposed. I never even updated the OS.
If anyone can help walk me through this to get it running again I'll send you a green poetic skin used once or a white well used GumDrop hideaway case I tested for work. I just would like to get this running instead of needing to purchase a new one.
Thank you again. Sincerely.
Flickering screen is caused by cracked battery connector which cannot be seen under magnified glass. Re solder will fix it, trust me I did fix some of them

So resolder the 6 posts connecting the battery connector to the motherboard? Is there anything special I need to do that, just my soldering iron with a fine tip and solder? Anything special I need about the solder or do I need a wik or anything? The last time I did any soldering work was about 25 years ago.
Also will this fix the bootlooping and hanging on booting up at the Samsung word on the screen? If it is not going to fix that problem, maybe I should look at something else first.
Thank you very much again for your help.

First, pressing the battery connector help your tablet to boot is a confirmation of cracked battery connector solders. 90% flickering problem is from cracked battery connector. 10% is bad battery. You should fix the battery connector first as it's major defect seen in many Samsung tablets. Re solder is simple, apply flux, then heat these pins and add more solders as possible to secure these pins. Even new main board, this connector will crack just after 3 or 4 months depending how you use your tablet, especially with who using it on their laps. The main board sits on a flexible LCD and only 3 screws to hold it to the frame at 2 speakers. You don't need to remove the main board, just disconnect your battery and re solder the connector from the top.
Be careful as this connector is very close to other components. Trust me, this re work will fix this problem as I have seen in some cases, battery jumps up from 8% to 45% after the re work, other cases pressing the battery connector help the tablet to boot or stop flickering.
This person applied the fix and succeed.

I have the Note Pro 12.2 and I had this same screen flickering issue. It would start to flicker at first around the 38% mark. I did research online and found this thread and many others. I tried the software fixes like the enabling of Developer Mode and screen brightness and other tries, but to no avail. When I pressed on the back of the tablet, the screen flickering would stop but then shortly return. So I saw the fix of trying to raise the motherboard which worked for about 2 weeks, then the screen flickering did return. It would then start to flicker around the 58% battery level mark and when it got down to around 26%, the tablet would shut down. When I plugged it in, it would show battery level of 0%, then quickly jump back up to the 26% mark when it shut itself down. So then by this time, I saw more of this thread and now was shown the soldering of the battery connectors. I had soldering equipment, but it was too large for this repair as these 6 pins are very close together. So I went to the hobby shop and purchased new equipment for about $30 with a smaller pin to be able to do this. Now, I am not an electronics guy and my past experience was replacing two bad capacitors on my Plasma TV when it went bad. That was the extent of my experience to date. So I opened up the back of my tablet and soldered the 6 pins again and the screen flickering has not returned. I am on my 5th battery cycle from 100% all the way down to 2% and the screen flickering and shutting itself down has not returned. Some people have said an electronics guy will do this for you for around $30. Well, I spent the $30 and did it myself. I want to thank the people for posting the solutions here as the soldering worked for me.
And from this post, a confirmation that repair center will do the same thing to fix flickering , auto reboot, auto shut down.....etc...all problems caused by cracked battery connector ( Connector Header ):

Ok I'll try to resolder it this weekend and report back. I think that my pertinent problem is that I have both the battery issue AND another problem that the tablet won't boot up at all but I will try the battery fix first and see what happens. Then I will report back.
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
Your feedback is very important as I see many " Hit and Run " users, they get the solution they need but never post back. Your first priority is fixing the battery connector, then next is the battery if problem persists.
This is a hardware defect I have seen in many Samsung tablets: battery capacity fluctuation, quick discharge, auto reboot, auto shutdown.......all come from battery connector . Read the threat Flickering Screen you'll see others try all solutions but never work because they don't know this is a hardware problem coming from this tiny connector.
My trusty old Nexus 5 has been showing horizontal white lines on the screen the past few weeks. Whenever this started to happen, it would detect taps in random areas on the screen or become unresponsive. Rebooting the phone would temporarily fix the problem. Last night the battery got entirely drained and now when I boot the phone, it only shows a black screen. The led at the bottom is flashing in white. Has anyone been able to fix this issue? I was thinking that maybe a LSD cable got loose, so it's fixable, but from what I've read it's likely that the LCD is broken?
I hope someone can shed some light on what the issue is and whether I can fix it or not.
Thanks in advance.
Was the phone every dropped? It could be the LCD or motherboard. I think the only way to really tell would be to move the motherboard to a working phone to see what happens when you try to boot.
