Same here.  It's happen to me twice, now.  First within 5 days of getting the tablet, so they just gave me a different one at the store.  Now, about 2 months later, that one has ran out of juice and won't charge up at all.  Now it' just a paperweight.  I guess it's back to the store for me, too.

ALL EVERYONE NEED'S TO DO IS..... 1) TAKE A DEEP BREATH 2) GO AHEAD & THANK ME NOW

THE FIX IS QUITE SIMPLE, THERE IS NO WAITING FOR 4 HOURS FOR IT TO MAYBE DO SOMETHING WHILE CONNECTED TO A COMPUTER. DON'T BOTHER FIGHTING WITH MULTIPLE CORDS OR OUTLETS.

HERE IT IS THE FIX TO SOLVE ALL G PAD 8.3 LTE CUSTOMER FRUSTRATIONS,.............

1- HAVE THE ORIGINAL CHARGER OR ANY OTHER QUALITY MICRO USB CABLE PLUGGED IN AND READY TO GO

2- WHILE THE TABLET IS NOT PLUGGED INTO THE CHARGER HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS.

3- WHILE STILL HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON DOWN PLUG IN THE CHARGER AND THEN GO AHEAD AND RELEASE THE POWER BUTTON.

4-WITHIN 5 SECONDS YOU SHOULD SEE THE BATTERY SYMBOL POP UP, FROM THERE THE BEAST IS BACK GIVE IT SOME TIME TO CHARGE AND JUST LIKE THAT, SHE LIVES!!!!!

This worked!!! Verizon needs to put this on the top of the page. Holy Moly!! Thought I was going to have to hassle with getting a replacement. Note to self, never go under 15% battery life again. Thank you for this!!!

That battery can't handle being discharged much below 30 to 35% without a problem as a general rule. The boot up will take a large voltage and current draw and prevent a normal startup. If that happens it will require a hard start and good recharge. And thank you BACKTEE21. good job   Smiley Happy

BACKTEE21....Sorry man, I took a deep breath, but I waited until I got the unit working before thanking you...not that I didn't trust you or anything.

Anyway, it didn't work the first time I tried it, or the second, but I kept playing with it trying different things. I think what did it for me, and I only mention it in case it helps someone else, is that I held the power button for longer than 10 seconds, quite a bit longer.

So thanks again!!

Already had one replaced and the phone call was painfully too long!  Didn't want to go through that again.  THANK YOU BACKTEES21 !!!!! at least I am seeing something on the screen and will let it charge for a while.

Thank you, this worked and also held the power button down longer.  Saved me a trip and phone call to verizon.

I plugged mine into the computer and it turned on right away.  Battery was at 100%.  What is up with this thing?
