Hi Richard. Here's how you can get International warranty according to Samsung:

  • The customer must contact Samsung’s contact center where the customer is located.
  • The contact center will perform troubleshooting. If it is determined that the unit requires repair, the contact center will arrange for service.
  • The customer must return the Samsung product to a Samsung’s authorized service center including any external hardware and Media along with proof of the purchase.
  • Please note some countries allow the customer to drop off the Samsung Mobile Computer at a Samsung authorized repair center while other countries only allow the product to be shipped.

In addition to that, I hope you have a proof of purchase to show in case it is needed.

You may need to hard reset it if it still won't turn on. Hard resetting your device will result on deletion of all your personal files/data.

To hard reset your Samsung Galaxy Tab 4:

1. With your device off, press and hold Volume up, Home and Power buttons.

2. When you see recovery screen, release the held buttons.

3. Use Volume buttons to navigate, select wipe data/factory reset, press Home button to choose the highlighted option.

4. Press Volume up button to continue.
