Samsung rear armrest tablet dead

I recently purchased a pre-owned 2025 GLS 63. Everything about the vehicle has been great except the Samsung Rear armrest table is dead. It will not power up or charge in the rear armrest, nor will it charge with a power cord. I've tried a full reset and that does nothing either. Are these covered under the factory warranty? Can I purchase one off eBay? Anyone have any other ideas I could try before taking it to the dealer?

I actually don't really care about the controls with the rear seats but my neurodivergent son desperately wants to use this while sitting in the rear seats. He loves the controls and the message function and its worth getting this going for him.

Any help would be appreciated.

Calling service today, did not know if a device that can be removed from vehicle would be covered under the factory warranty. Thanks for the replies.

Makes sense that it should be covered. I am curious if the battery is defective or the charging port of the car is not working. Did OP try plugging it in to an home outlet with an adapter if it brings it to life? That said yes just let warranty handle it.
