[Q] I think my TAB is DEAD!

---

I rooted and then flashed the Bonsai ROM(v0.1.5) with the Kernal (v2.6.36.4) Monday. I played around with the tab for about 5 hours, went to sleep, woke up, noticed that the battery was low so I decided to put it on the charger. And as soon as I plugged it in the charger, my tab froze and the screen turned off! What happened? This tab has been on the charger for about 28 hours now and it still will not come back on! What's wrong? I've tried every combination known to man (I think) trying to power this thing back on... and nothing happens. Am I bricked or is this the sleep of death? I have search threads for hours trying to find a solution and I can't find anything.

Any help from anyone with getting this thing back on
will be rewarded with a couple of beers, soda, sandwiches or whatever
floats your boat. I don't want to have to send it in to Samsung. Only GOD knows how long it will take for them to send it back.

I'm in the exact same situation, buttons are all not responding :/

Do you think it is the SOD (sleep on death) issue? several posts have been talking about it.

Have you tried an extra long press (10-15 seconds) of the power button?

I have tried everything. When I plug it into my computer, it makes a sound but the computer does not recognize the tablet.

Try booting into recovery (Vol down + power).

Also try charging again with a different outlet/cable. It still sounds like it's dead.

I can't get it into any state. It simply won't turn on.

Isn't this the time where he has to use external means, like Odin or one of those programs that can kick it out? Anyone care to give more info on those?
