I have a Samsung Tab S6 Lite (2022 model) and recently sometimes when I try to turn it on using the side key, it takes probably 2 seconds to turn on instant of doing it instantly. This only happens sometimes but I fear its happening more now. I would like to add as well that the device has no battery issues or hardware problems and I'm currently waiting on a potential software update for it but I don't yet know if its actually coming. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey @cacti. Is there any noticeable damage to the Power button? You can check if your Tab is updated by going into Settings > Software update > Download and install.

Try a soft reset on your Tab by pressing and holding the Power and Volume Down buttons for 10 seconds, and if a warning pops up, press the Volume Down button.

I'd suggest that you Factory Reset the Tab to see if that works. Steps on how to do this can be found on our website: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-perform-factory-reset-on-my-mobile-device... Make sure that you remove your Google and Samsung accounts from the tablet before.
