The missuss tablet (SM-P900) stopped working.
When you first power up the device the screen is corrupted, the next screens are fine until it reboots and gets stuck on the samsung logo where there is some corruption again.

If I boot into the download menu ( pwr &vol- ) that is all corrupted but if I boot into the recovery menu (PWR & vol+ ) that is totally fine.
Ive tried a factory reset from the recovery menu and that kept resetting at vaious stages until it finally finished but will not go past intial setup without errors

See video ( 1 min) h ttps://i.imgur.com/A5PfPKK.mp4

If it was a PC iwould say memory or video card fault. I have not much experiance with tablets, so any help much appreciated.

regards

If it was mine, I'd open it and check all connections of the cables.
If this doesn't help I'd sell it for parts.
