Hey all. I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4" that I've had for a few weeks now. I got it at work (computer shop) from my boss as a trade for an old computer I had. He got it off a customer so I have zero idea what the previous owner did with it. There is a dent in the top left corner that seems to have bent the frame of the device ever so slightly. The back cover has a very small gap in one spot and the screen has two hairline cracks. Otherwise the device looks new.

I've had it shut itself off a handful of times since I got it, two times were nearly back to back. The screen will usually flicker/artifact and then the whole device shuts down. No real pattern to when it does it, although the first time was right as I launched a game. It always fires right back up though and runs perfectly fine otherwise. I don't use it that much and considering I got a $350 tablet for almost free I'm not terribly fussed if it's a bit finnicky. I would like to fix it if possible though.
From what I can guess, there's a loose connection somewhere. I did a factory reset when I got it, although haven't tried one since. I'm not opposed to taking it apart but wouldn't really know what to look for either. Thoughts?
