If you were to experiment with different types of cases you might find one that sufficiently redistributes the pressure of your hand while holding it, such that it won't trigger the malfunctions. It could also protect against further damage. It might also be easy to fix the problem by replacing that impact damaged trim. That might be the easiest thing to try, except using a prying tool in that area could easily worsen it. Ask a repair person with experience working on Samsung tablets for their opinion and have an experienced person work on it. Just be sure to back up your data first.. photos, etc.
Hey I have the same problem, I purchase two Tabs one for my wife and myself and both have the same problem. When using the Tab the screen goes off, but the power is still on, I touch it, I shake it, I press the home button and nothing works and then the Tab's screen come on again, but it does not lock. just the screen goes and on.
i think it's the autolock mechanism that is broken, when tabs detects smart covers it shuts the screen off or unlock it maybe thats the problem I'm not suee tho.
I have the same problem. First the screen gltiching, and a few weeks later the screen became yellowish, i sent it back to samsung customer service they say the problem was di charging port. They fixed it. But it works only for two days and it became severe. It starts to turned off completely. And i never used it again. It was back years ago and my device was 6 months old.
I purchased this tablet on ebay. This video is to show the seller what the tablet is doing. If I was daring, I would purchase a case opener tool and pop the back off. I would want to see if the screen cable is loose or if something is loose. However, I wouldn't want to ruin it by messing something up while the cover was off. Its seems obvious that it is a problem with the hardware.
Just happened on my galaxy tab s 8.4. Same thing, flicker then go dark. Sent to geek squad they said it was the motherboard. 275 bucks to fix it. Gonna order a mobo and try myself.
I got a Digiland one 9 by 11 roughly same size it blinks like the poltergeist meets the twilight zone movie then crashes on the 100 check boot screen my nephew and niece wanted to play Minecraft pocket on it
It's a battery connector problem. Open back panel, remove battery connector, wait a few minutes and then reconnect. Turn on the tab. Make sure to totally deplete the battery to 0%. When the tab automatically shuts off, try to turn it on, if it doesn't then it means battery is really empty. If it turns on it means there's still some charge left. keep turning on-off until battery is totally empty. Then remove the battery plug, wait and plug it back in. Now charge to 100% while keeping the tab switched off. Now turn on. Problem solved. This has nothing to do with motherboard. This problem existed since the very first Galaxy Tab 7.0 in 2010. The service center guys have no idea.
I've been getting a blinking black screen and soon resets itself. I did all solutions and still have the problem. I think my problem is a whole different level of flickering.
Do you think it's a connector inside? Mine started doing something similar. Got mine as a refurb 3 weeks ago. 2 days ago it started and seemed to go away after a restart. Now it's back tonight. I gave it a little shake it seemed to fix it. I'm wondering if its a loose connection. Edit: You mention this at the end of the video. I suspect that's whats going on.
It seems strange to me that the screen locks after the flicker. This makes me think that the android os sees the screen connect and disconnect, thus locking the screen after a new detection. Just speculation at this point though.

mine is different, the screen goes blue for 1 second but long enough to see. mostly when I'm using RUclips.
