I love my tablet and has been working great (had to reseat the LCD cable a few times). Recently the screen went off and thought the LCD cable unseated again. Opened it up and re-seated cable. No luck. Resetting gives me the back light for just a second but does not show the Samsung logo or boot up. What could it be?

The LCD cable should not be disconnecting on it’s own. If it hasn’t been making a solid connect, then its possible the display was damaged by a short circuit. Replacing the display may only temporarily remediate the situation but until you fix the connect issue, the new display may eventually short out as well.
