Yet Another Tablet Bruh Moment...

So back in March my Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM-T350) wasn't booting, and I had already tried charging it and stuff. Then my dumbass thought it would be a good idea to try and re-seat the non-removable battery. Surprisingly, the battery connector came out fine the first time, but then I got cocky, and well... it snapped right off the mobo when I tried to re-insert it. The tablet just shows the "plugged in while off" icon when plugged in, turns the screen off, then repeats. I can get into TWRP and the ODIN Download mode where you can push a fresh Android image to the tablet via a PC. Damn thing is less stable than my laptop was just a few weeks ago. Wait, wtf??? As I was writing this, the "charging while off" icon came up??? I guess the connector made some contact with the mobo... I'd solder it if I had the skills, but I do not. And replacing the mobo itself also would be difficult... :(

EDIT: ITS BOOTING HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
edit 2: it stopped again :/
fuck it, electric tape time
edit 3: it didn't work, so me and my dad tried using glue. It worked for a bit but now it just doesnt work again. FUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK

Buy some flux. Never used it myself but from what I've heard it's soldering on easy mode. Just watch some youtube videos on it. It doesn't seem that expensive either.

@N10A Really? Huh. Well, for now I'm just going to try and find a ROm that'll boot without the battery. Since I KNOW Android can run without a battery. Not just cause of Android TV, but also because of Android-x86. Sure, it'll say either 0%, or have a ! on the battery, but it'll work. Hopefully.
