You might need a new battery. I had a similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S (8.5" screen). It wouldn't stay charged for long, and would turn off if the battery level got to 1/2 to 1/4. I've had the tablet ever since it came out years ago, so I thought maybe the battery had lost its ability to charge or maintain a constant flow of electricity to keep the electronics happy. I ordered a replacement battery offline and have had no problems. I figured buying a battery and trying that as a fix is cheaper than buying a new tablet. (If it didn't work, I would buy a new tablet.) Now when the battery level gets low, the tablet stays on, doesn't flicker off or freeze like it used to do, and works okay. You can watch a video online how to open the tablet back and replace the battery, plus you get it on a DVD with the battery. The original battery is glued into the tablet; it seems as though you're destroying the tablet when you try to lift it out -- but if you go slow and gently pry it up, it should be okay. It was a gamble and it paid off.

It sounds to me like you have an issue with your Galaxy Tab's charging port.
Fortunately it is still under warranty if you've just recently purchased it.
Take it back to the store or contact Samsung for a warranty replacement. They may be able to help you recover items from the memory.
Hope this helped!
Thanks!

Hi buckpot2001,
To correct this issue, please follow the steps below.
1. Press and hold down the power button whilst at the same time touching the screen (you may have to wait up to 30 seconds as it clears the system).
2. You will then notice the battery indicator pops up.
3. The Tablet will then reboot. Everything goes back to normal.
4. If that fails to work, connect the power cable and repeat the above steps.
Hope it helps.
Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: How can I get my Samsung Galaxy Tablet to turn on. The battery is fully charged.
There is usually a method such as holding the on button for a longer period of time. If it is easy to do the other thing that I've found with all sorts of "smart" devices which turn "not-so-smart" is to remove the battery for a minute or so, then put it back in. Many times the unit will turn on as soon as the battery is reinstalled and work correctly again after that. Last ditch effort, unless someone knows about the Galaxy, is a hard reset, there may be a reset button somewhere on the unit, I don't think the Galaxy has a reset button. If the unit still does not turn on it may need servicing.
1. Try the on button for 15 - 20 seconds if you know it is charged
2. Try charging for an hour or two then the 15-20 second hold on button, #1 above.
3. Removed battery (I'd measure the battery voltage while I have it out) wait ~1 - 2 minutes & reinstall the battery. If it doesn't turn on by itself try #1.
4. Nothing works start a service ticket with Samsung, URL:

You might try searching there as well for an answer to see if there's anything I missed.
