My tablet won't charge.why???please help!!

Many tablets I own surprisingly use an android type charger, if yours does, then try plugging in a different charger from your phone perhaps.

Are you using the supplied Samsung charger? Many times if your not using it, the tablet won't truly charge.

Maybe the charger transformer has burned out. Check for voltage output on that, or try the car charger. Otherwise you need the battery replaced or more serious tech work done.

Did the charger that you are using come with the Tablets? Many 5 volt chargers can only output a 0.5 to 1amp current, while a Tablet typically needs 2 to 2.5 amps charging current. So, if you're using a charger from some other device, then it's almost certain that it cannot provide a sufficient current for the Tablet, and the charger overloads, shuts down cools off, turns on again, overloads again, shuts down etc repeatedly - giving the exact symptom you are reporting.

Even if the charger did come with the Tablet, some of the Chinese ones are of very poor quality and cannot provide reliable service. A replacement charger rated to suit your Tablet (there should be something in the specifications that came with the Tablet listing the requirements for the charger) should solve your problem {:o)

tablet wont go to the home screen

It’s not a answer, but it’s step 1. Have you pinned down the power button for 20 sec plus? This, on most devices, forces a reboot.

Every tablet has a button sequence, the reason being for a fresh restart. Either you unplugged it before full recharge, or didn't use proper charging adapter or cable.
There is a solution to avoiding this but first get tablet started by:
Hold power button and volume up button for eight seconds, release and hold power button again, tablet should turn on.
If not, do the opposite hold power button, volume down for eight seconds, then power button. You need to do this with proper adapter and charger you tablet came with plugged in. You may also need to do this more than once.
Once your tablet has started up, the way to avoid this is to swipe right on screen until you see settings app, should be round looking similar to a sprocket, or clock gear.
Open settings / display / sleep. I set mine for 30 mins.
Now you no longer need to power off you tablet manually, thus skipping the button sequence process.After unplugging from charge adapter you will still need to press power button to start.
Hope this helps I have yet to have this problem again, and remember to always let your tablet fully charge before disconnecting.
