Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1010

[LeithR]

I was recently given an old Galaxy Tab which is in perfect working order. I would like to get it working and maybe update the Operating System. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

@LeithR: That takes me back Does the tablet power on, and is it working as expected e.g. responsive to touch interactions, apps launching etc? What Id' suggest is taking a look at the user manual via the link below, as well as installing Kies on your home computer, which can be used to sync data, and perform any available updates.

AndrewL,

Sorry for the delay, I have be ill and am now fit again. Many thanks for the link to the manual, I'll read through it. One other query comes to mind, I have tried connecting the tablet to my laptop without success. It may be because I use Linux on my lop

Hi @LeithR ,

I hope that you are feeling better now. I have had a look at this and it seems that to connect the Tab to a PC running Linux you will need to follow different steps as they don't communicate to each other directly. I would recommend having a look at this on Google as they are different steps available depending on the Linux version that you are using.
