Samsung tab 3 query help

My husband bought me 1st and only present 3 years ago samsung tab 3. Beautiful, so lush, from CEX worked great but then was soooo slow, I followed YouTube video to speed it up. Then was like it was wiped, couldn't set up play store, email nothing, then charge took longer, 2 percent over night then died. Had in drawer for over year. No genuine charger, or plate will charge. I dunno what I did? Its not worth much but its so beautiful I'd like to use again. Any ideas what the heck is wrong?

    Samsung tab 3 was released in 2013. Can it even run latest software? It’s going to be slow whatever you do to fix it. 
    If you love that model you can buy a working tab 3 replacement with guarantee on cex for £20-25. 

    But I’d look for a much later model if you can afford it.
