Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 won't charge or turn on
My Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 developed charging problems over time. The charging cable needed to be positioned at a particular angle, and a yellow thermometer warning appeared when using a charger intended for a UV torch.
Now, normal chargers do nothing, and the tablet no longer starts. The screen is undamaged, and the tablet is currently at room temperature.
I have tried multiple cables, and the charging port looks relatively clean, although it seems slightly loose.
What could be causing this? Could it be the USB-C port, battery, or charging circuitry?
probably shouldn't of used uv charger
