I have a Samsung Android tablet, (not sure what model), that the battery is dead. It won't turn on. It has not been used in a couple years. Can the battery be replaced and if so how do I go about doing it?

If a device has a dead battery, sometimes it can be brought back to life by trickle charging it to a USB port on a powered on computer.
Plug the tablet's charging cable into a USB port on the computer. Let it alone for at least an hour.
Then you might be able to move it to a wall wart and it will start charging.
I'm currently charging a completely dead portable power pack by this method. No lights came on when attached to a wall wart so I moved it to a USB port on my desktop computer. The red light started blinking indicating it is now charging.
