My Shift still gets warm and the power is draining rapidly after Windows 7 is shut down. The modem is switched off already in Snapvue, and none off the led is on. This never happened before with Vista.
Any advice please??

Hi
So I have an Acer Netbook, the D620.
Earlier, I closed the laptop (not shutdown)
and as usual the CPU lights went off with the power light flashing indicating standby.
After an hour or so, I saw all the lights except the WiFi one were on, (power CPU and Ram) . When I opened the lid of the laptop, it didn't come out of standby mode. Just a black screen
I did what any Android user would do. Pulled the battery. It rebooted fine.
This has happened like 5-6 times now. Any ideas?

Reinstall Windows(or Linux or whatever you have on there). Works every time.
What you have to do is smack the keyboard really hard at least 2 sets of 10 times. If that doesn't work, then you have something running in the background, which makes your laptop wake up. When you open it, just wait a minute and it will turn on.

I waited for an hour. Nothing happened.
That was your laptop going from sleep to turned off. if that happens again dont just pull the battery, just press the power button and hold it for about 10 seconds. once its off just press it again to turn on.

It doesn't go from sleep to turned off. It goes from sleep to lights on but blank screen mode.
I need it to stay in sleep because overnight it switches itself on and by morning I have 10% battery

then there is something that prevents it from turning off or hibernating. Go to your power settings and make sure that there is nothing like turn off after 1 hour of being in sleep mode or something like that. Why arent you turning it off or putting it in Standby mode? Standby still resumes fast.

Sometimes I'm in a hurry and I can't put it in standby. I'll see the power thing though

You can use the power settings and tell the laptop to go into standby when you close the lid.
And make sure you have hybrid sleep mode disabled.

I was using my Nexus 7, playing a game. It then static-screened and hissed for 2 secs and then died! It was charging through PC USB.
It won't power up anymore.
WTH?

You may have overheated it. Wait a few hours and try again. also, depending on the USB charging, the charger may not have been able to keep up with the battery drain of the game and it shut down for a low battery. Use the OEM charger whenever possible.

If the device actually made a "fizzle" sound then I recommend sending it in for a replacement. Sounds like a battery leak. Was it overclocked?

I had the same problem yesterday, my battery was very low and I was using it while plugged-in a PC USB.
I was playing reckless racing, i left it on the desk for awhile when I went back to my PC. the device was on, but all of a sudden it fizzled and static screened.
I freaked out and unplugged the USB. then the device shut-down(turns black) immediately. The device was a bit hot on the back bottom. I tried to turn it on, NO GO. I plugged it in the OEM charger, NO charging screen. tried turning on, still no go.
then i look in xda. and found out someone said to hold the power button for 30s.
So, the device was plugged in OEM charger. I sat it there for like 5 mins first. then try to do the 30s.
It boot up again on like 35, or 36 second i counted.
I bet it was a low battery problem, since charging it from a PC doesn't provide enough power.
The method solved mine, and i hope it solved yours too.
Gd luck!!

But why a "fizzle " and static? Is this one of JB's idiosyncrasies?

I meant to say a I heard a fizzling sound when it static screened. Almost like the sound you hear with TV static but more... fizzy? :silly:
lol
If you heard a fizzle I'd definitely still send it back in for RMA, better safe than sorry down the road.
just looping the sound file from the game before shutting down not a issue. watch that battery icon in the future.
playing nova 3 on full 1600mhz oc N7 did the same on a freeze and reset. (; have to find the settings that work right. nova 3 1500mhz with the gpu oc at 500 screams and is stable on my N7. spiderman became a fun game after the kernel flash.
Just to say it again - plugging the Nexus 7 into a PC USB port will not keep it charged during high current usage.
If you drain the battery completely - don't expect any display until you have charged it for probably an hour.
Funky noises from your game when you flatline the battery is no cause to return it.
Use a dedicated charger for game play, preferably the one that came with it.
Didn't fizzle here, just turned off and no matter how long I held power button or left charging on mains connector or on PC, the tablet was completely dead. Returned to Argos and got refund and now waiting on another Nexus 7 to be delivered but via Tesco direct this time.
Fingers crossed this one lasts a lot longer than the hour the first one did

I had this exact same problem except mine wasn't plugged into anything and my battery was not near empty. When I finally got it booted back up it was at 27% so for me it wasn't low battery. I only ever use the charger that came with it - unless I'm connecting it to my laptop for a few minutes to transfer files, etc.
This is my second Nexus 7. The first one got returned because it had problems with the touchscreen on occasion. It actually did do this static/fizzle/crash once or twice as well.
I wonder if the static/fizzle/crash issue is being addressed in hardware and/or software with a newer version of either one?
Pls tell me Asus representatives are reading these threads in xda. I can see lots of problems with the device. Google should take serious actions on this
That would freak me out my dizzle...I hope my Nexus doesn't ever fizzle.

Maybe, but I had more than a quarter of my battery left and had very similar symptoms. I think it might be related to heat generated by gaming. Maybe with low (but not out of) battery, maybe not. The touchscreen issues I experienced on my first N7 seemed to only occur after hard gaming. Maybe there's a heat dissipation issue? (Wild speculation)
Mine did exactly the same last week, thought it had died altogether but holding the power for 45 seconds sorted it.
I need help too.
My N7 turned off when the battery ran out. So i plugged to charge through PC USB and immediately when that great charger icon apear in the screen i pressed the button power, and so it go black. No more signals. Dead... No charge, no turn on anymore.
I tried to hold the power button for 30s a lot.
I opened the N7, unpluged e pluged again the battery. Nothing.
I let it charging, in the OEM charger, with OEM cable, all the night, for more than 12 hours. Nothing.
And it has a "fizzle" sound. It can be heard better when its open.
When i disconnect the battery the sound stop. If i connect the charger, even without the battery, the sound come back.
When i hold the power button for 30s the sound stop for about 3 seconds, and then restarts.
The Windows manager device recognizes the N7 as a weird "APX" (image attach).
In from Brazil, so for now will not be easy to return to google.
Any ideas?
Thx in advance
---------------------------------------
Update:
I discovered that the unit does not appear to be charging.
Before, the OEM charger became a little hot, and now nothing.
I instaled today the program "Asus AI charger" that lets you charge a ipad in USB, and the icon charging do not apear when i connect the N7, only when i connect other devices.
So mine just fizzled and died not connected to any power source. I was at 9%. It was running a bit warm but no where near relatively hot. Will update...

The phone has been working flawlessly since launch, until this last week where now my phone randomly shuts off and is unable to start again until I plug it into a charger and hold the power button. When it turns on it doesn't have a low battery (for example I turned it on and it said 30% battery still).
And then I can unplug it and start using it, but it has done this about 3 times today. Is it because of the software update?

This is a much better question for HTC or the place you bought your phone. It sounds like a hardware issue.

Suddenly, my HTC One turned off while listening to music, I thought that it just overheated and powered down like it had once before. I tried to power it on but it didn't work (I held the button down for 30-60 seconds, and then re-tried whilst holding the volume buttons and exposing the ambient light sensor to a bright light). The phone has a recent version of CyanogenMod running on it (a nightly from July) and the AGK kernel on it. I did mess with the clock speed of the processor and tweak some kernel settings, not sure if this had anything to do with the problem though (double-tap to wake was enabled along with 'Logo2Menu' or whatever the actual name is). The phone also doesn't seem to be charging at all; the red LED indicator doesn't turn on at all. Any solutions or possible reasons why it's not working?

Ok, so after hours of trying to turn it on it turns out the battery was completely drained and coincidentally my charger has stopped working making it seem as though it wouldn't charge or turn on. That though still doesn't explain why the battery went from 59% to 0% in an instant while listening to music.....strange.
