Help Galaxy tab wont post past boot screen

I have been using AOKP ICS for the past 3 months or so as before the tab 10.1 was pretty useless with the crashes etc.

2 days ago the tab froze on the home screen and since then it wont post.

Ive got back into clockwork mod and tried to format the data/factory reset and reinstall another rom but it freezes on formatting data for a while then eventually says error formating data partition and locks on that screen needing a hard reset to get back into cwm.

Ive also tried a reinstall of the AOKP version i was using which seems to complete fine but goes back to the boot loop logo and freezes completely.

The TAB also has the Newton rings but as i sent it in rooted (SInce they had no need to turn on the device and i put a sticker on saying you do not have my permission to turn on the device) they tried to charge me
