Last night I decided to take out my previous Samsung Galaxy Book 12.1 Android tablet that I had for a few years now. Apparently I did not use it for almost 2 years and was kept away in my drawer at home. Went to turn it on last night, battery dead as a door nail, completely dead. Won't even boot up into Android like the os has been deleted, does killing a battery also kill the OS. How can I put Android back onto this tablet. Thank you

Yes that's correct thar Android Martian flat on its back with the red triangle. What I did was went into thar recovery thing where you hold down the volume up/down button and press the power button at the same time, something like that. I've heard of Odin never used it, is it hard to use. Problem is where would I get a copy of Android 12.1

If you can restart after charging or replacing the battery and used either Samsung or Google backup you may be able to recover everything. However two years is a bit much to expect this to have been kept by either Samsung or Google.
