Been running cm7 for a few months now with no problems. Battery was full when I left my house, came home and it wasn't turned on. Tried for a while and got no response. Plugged in the charger and it keeps restarting after the cm7 logo screen. The farthest it got was the home screen for about 2 seconds before restarting. I noticed the battery was in the red zone before it restarted even though it was full earlier that day. The battery usually last 3-4 days unplugged......
Have you tried to get it into cwm? If you can, download cm7 rom again on your computer and put on sd card and flash the from again, the rom could have been corrupt due to a bad download
NookColor ICS 9 Nightly "Overclocked"
My guess is it SOD'd, and the battery is dead. I have noticed that my NC will not power up if the battery is very low, even if it is plugged in.
I guess we won't know any more until the OP returns, but often when a charged nook just shows a dead screen, and it is actually on, and you just can't tell. There are multiple workarounds for this, but the easiest to my mind being a sdcard with a burned with a bookable image like CWM or a hard reset. Let us know after you have let the nook charge. If thencord is lot and it still won't turn on, try a bootable card.

I have this installed [ROM] CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC1 for Hero CDMA
I was running wifi tethering and installing a game called chess.
I heard my phone vibrate quickly and the screen was black. I tried to turn it back on. But nothing. So I removed the battery and waited a couple minutes. I cant get it to come on.
So I plugged it into a charger and the red/orange LED is on as if it is charging.
The phone will not even attempt to start up
Any ideas?

Phone just seems dead to me... probably just needs to charge for an hour or so
If it's not charge up and running by now, you'll need a new battery.
Thanksgiving day I had my phone on but was doing things around the house and when I went to check my phone it wouldn't wake. Holding down the power button, nothing, it was dead. I know the battery wasn't drained. So I plugged it into my USB and the light didn't turn on either. I sat staring at the phone for a few seconds to troubleshoot and it suddenly began to boot up and after everything loaded I could confirm it was half charged.
I'm running the same version of Cyanogen as you. Are you using the original battery or 3rd party? Mine is 3rd party.
Have you had other strange occurrences leading up to this? Twice in a week I woke up to find my phone on even though I know I shut it down the night before and not accidentally rebooted.
Since I was able to get my phone to boot back from temporary dead the phone has frozen twice while texting. I didn't battery pull or anything, it just rebooted by itself after a few minutes. I plan on switching back to my old battery to see what happens.
My nook was idle for a day or two, as I remember I hv shut it off.
But then yesterday I try to charged it, the light was green then turn to red, n then it went off, usually the nook would turn on right after I plug the charger. So I didn't notice it until today, and I tried to turn it on by pressing the power button, and the N button together as well, both didn't work.
It seems that I can't charge it or turn it on. Everytime I tried to re-plug it to power or press power button while its connected, the light went on in green to red then off again.

Connect your charger. Let it stay on charger 20 min. Then try push n button. If this not bring screen on then try push power button for 5 sec. Again if not then try power and n button combination.
Hope this helps.
Thx! Turns out tht external charger didn't work.

I think that last opinion is make CWM sd card (without CM10) and insert it do device, then try to switch the device on (with charger trick or power button). If you then get it live all is ok. If not then last change is wait when battery goes empty and charger wakes it up.
Actually i predict that item is itself faulty and you must return it for change (maybe not faulty at hardware side, only OMAP inside code got corrupt).
I don't know, that might because I rooted my device, and I did sth wrong. Sometimes it would reboot itself, since my cmw card was inserted, it would load tht root page so I found out. But I live in Asia so returning the device might be too costly, probably won't do it.

It could be several things. The most likely is it was trying to update itself and could not because the CWM card was there. I don't think your device is defective.

Now i can say same. With first information things was other.
...It's more or less a known bug to those of us who use CM10 (even to some who use stock), the battery simply often can't tell how much she has left. So she may fluctuate from 1% to 26% to 0% a moment later . In one such moment my Nook HD+ shut down (went from 26% to 0%). So I put it up for charging thinking (naively) that it would boot up ... it didn't, now all I get is a charging icon that never goes away (orange led remains lit). What's more I *know* it has some charge (the "26%" was the right value) and I know the battery works, so what prevents it from starting is the "battery charge sensor".
It's a pretty silly way to lose your (my) tablet over. Even more so given how much I grew attached to it for my workflow. So what's next? Is there a secret way to convince it to boot. As I said both the hardware and its software is in top condition. I guess an alternative would be to ship it back for replacement but I'm afraid that I've lost my receipt and -as I said- it's a silly way to lose your tablet over, there *has* to be a (fast) way out...
BTW when connected to my PC my device manager briefly shows an "Omap 4470" unknown device (with an exlamation mark) which goes away few secs later, so I cannot attain ADB control over my devices either (sadly)....

If you are running CM10 or 10.1, there is an easy way to connect with ADB. Do it wirelesly over wifi. That is built into CM. Just enable it in the developer options. No need to mess with the USB cable and windows drivers. You can do the same thing with rooted stock by installing an app called ADBWireless.

At the time that could not happen , since (as I had implied) my nook was not booting to begin with...
Anyhow, what I did was to leave it for three solid hours on the charger, and after that period of time it booted on its own wiithout warning. It's the first that such behavior was/is ever present to my nook and it's deeply worrying. A battery fix for the CM kernel couldn't come any sooner; now, if only verygreen was around
There's a few ideas on a couple of other threads including putting it in the fridge, etc. Question, if you plug it in, does the charging light come on? Does it come on after pushing the power button or the N button? If so, take your SD out, leave it charging overnight and try again. It often reboots when in this state and if there's an update problem, that could be the issue. Also, it is sometimes erratic on when and how it charges, be careful with the connections.

As I said it came up on its own, without warning after leaving it for 3 hours on the charger...
As for your question, the led (charging light) was on all the time but it would only show me that it had no battery (couldn't charge even though it was ... charging?)
Maybe the fridge makes sense in those situations, as it was indeed into a (relatively) hot environment and maybe it couldn't charge as a safety against overheating and since (at the same time) it also thought it had 0 battery. But what I can't understand is why needed 3 hours before starting to charge up, it was already cool enough long before ... strange things are/were happening with my battery all along and I worry...

Yep, I've noticed the same thing a few times. It no longer panicks me. When it doesn't turn on, I take out the SD, plug it in, wiggle the connector a few times, and let it alone. So far, it has always eventually rebooted, often as you say on its own. Quirky, but not fatal at least. One poor guy on here never did get his to turn on, but the key was the charging light,his didn't come on.
Need help cannot turn on Nook HD+ at all
Hi!
I cannot turn it on at all and it won't reboot.
It went out some point I didn't watch it. When I connected it to the charger the LED next to the connector starts blinking amber and green for a few seconds and then stays blinking red and makes a high pitched noise.
The only reaction I get is when I press power on an volume down after some time - it display turns on an shows a charging sign - but it never really seems to fully charge. I left it on the charger over night - still the same. Once the display blinked and showed “nook” but went out immediately after a few milliseconds.
Might it be some kind of bootloop!?!?
What combination to press to make a reset?
Thanks in advance for any help

I'm getting constant times when my nook HD+ just shuts down, it first happened in cm11 the 9/11 nightly, it would shut off when I went on certain web pages and on YouTube, then it would shut off when I tried to change the wallpaper. It would then shut off at the cm boot logo after about 2 seconds,only being able to boot fully after repeating about 4 times. So I did a factory reset and reinstalled the rom, but then when I tried to install gapps the device would shut off, so I went in did factory reset again and formatted system, installed the ROM and gapps fine this time but the first time it still shut off at the cm boot logo, its now booted back into cm 11 the second time but still getting shut off's when I try to apply wallpaper etc.
I've re installed the stock ROM and I'm still getting random shut downs and its saying my battery is 1% when its fully charged
can anybody help please ?
same here

i have been having this issue for like two months now. it all started when my daughter ran the tablet out totaly. took a good three days of tinkering before it would actualy take a charge. now i get constant shut downs, flickering screen. will say im 100 percent charge and when take the cable out it will go down to 1% i dont think the battery is bad because sometimes it will actualy hold the charge.
Could be the power connector or at least somewhere along the power path. My old kindle had what looked like battery issues which was actually the cable itself at the port that was a bit loose and a different cable had fixed it - it even said it was fully charged but drained 4x faster (give or take). After the fix the battery life was normal again.
Its would be incredibly confusing [to me] if draining all life from the battery is the cause of your problems as I do it often with all phones/tablets (and others do it) and its never caused me a problem not even once. I do it on purpose not accidental.
More likely a coincidence and not the actual cause and the issue is that something was damaged or going bad. It doesn't sound like a software problem. And since it appears to be battery related that would likely be the battery or related path such as the power cable, port, wall plug.
Since its made by humans, I'm going to say if it turns green fully charged then its not necessarily anywhere near fully charged especially if the incoming power wasn't the proper amount, it could potentially be thrown off and confused instead of what one would expect happening that of either/or.
Wrong or right there's my best guess. Do with it what you will.
Adding if its still under warranty (I would assume), according to leapinlar, BN will give you a new power cable if that's the problem, or same with the device (as I took advantage of for hardware defect).

They will only give you a new cable if it is still in the warranty period AND it still is running stock. You may get by with just taking the cable in, and if they can demonstrate it is defective, get a new one. But if you bring the device in with CM on it the warranty goes bye-bye. So if you take it in, be sure stock is on it.

*gasp* the rest of it. Thanks for the correction there.
GOT IT
So i took it apart thinking i would replace the battery. Didn't end up having to. i disconnected the battery from the main board, then plugged it back in. tablet fired up and showed 100% battery. haven't had a single issue since. :good::good::good:
Hi,
I've owned a B&N Nook HD (7 inch) for just over a year, when I first got it I flashed CWM and CM10 onto it and ever since have had absolutely no issues with it, however a couple of weeks back I was having trouble getting it to charge, it would take a few tries of plugging the cable in before it would finally begin (I'm not sure whether this is related at all to the issue) However a couple of days ago I was happily browsing the internet, then it made a strange "Pop" sound and the screen went completely black. Ever since then it won't boot up, it will briefly display the Nook logo but will then make the same pop sound and go to what looks like a black screen, however under low light you can see that the backlight is still faintly on, and to turn it off you have to hold the power button for 7ish seconds. Also on one attempt to boot it made it past the nook logo, and onto the cm loading screen but then had the same issue. I've also tried booting it to recovery but with no success :crying: .
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just to say that it's a complete right off.
Thanks
Probably you might have damage battery

Please watch this tutorial how to remove battery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfYvhtw30mU.
Then charge your battery via external power source i.e.Master charger. If you still can't turn on your device. Then buy new battery. Link of ebay is http://www.ebay.com/bhp/nook-battery
If it is software issue @leapinlar will surely figure it out.
Thank you very much for your quick response, I'll give the link a try!

I had a go at removing the battery, but as I don't have a Master charger or anything like that around, just stuck a multimeter onto the connector, and it read about 3.5v so to me that seems pretty charged.
Does this mean it is a damaged battery, as I'm on a bit of a shoestring budget, so want to make sure I'm getting the right thing

I've install stable cyanodgen 10.2.1 a year ago and have this issue ever since. Not sure if it's common but whenever the nook is drain completely to dead...when you try charging it..the light would be green..then amber. So I don't know whether its charge or not but I guess it is. I would not be able to power it back on...the normal way. It would seems dead. The way for me to get it to power up is to get into cwm recovery by pressing both the power and home button at the same time, then reboot it. It gets annoying because I would have to do that all the time since my 5 year would drain it out lol
I charged the Nook HD+ for about 2 days. It seems to be fully charged. Light stays green no matter where I plug it in(Laptop, wall) and I have tried two different cables.
This is actually my sisters device. Mine is the same one, and both cables work on it with no issues.
This device has never been rooted or messed with in anyway. Its fully stock with current updates.
If I attempt to power it on while it's plugged in the light goes black and never comes back on. Same thing happens if I try the power+n thing. I attempted this while plugged into the wall aswel as my PC.
Any ideas? Battery, screen, or just fully trashed?
---------------------------
New Information:
I thought this was my sisters Nook, but after asking her if she had ever opened it up she informed me oh, its her friends and hoped I could fix it.
It may have been opened, I have no idea what its been through.
If the light is green while plugged in, it is not charging, no matter how long it's left there. It only charges while the light is amber/orange. How long has it been between charging before you got it? Have you tried plugging it in, and holding n+power to force it to completely shut down (sometimes it makes a difference, because it tries to boot with little power, and hangs in limbo). Also, if ithas an SD card in it, try taking it out. If it's an older card, and worn out, it can cause that same issue for you. I've tested that with a bad card in a NEW Nook HD+ and managed to make it act like it was broken until the card was removed, then all was fine with it. It's too soon to tell if the battery is completely gone, but I doubt the screen is the issue.

I amended my post, but will repeat here:

It may have been opened, I have no idea what its been through.
As for an sdcard, no none in it when I got it from her. The screen never even lights up so if the screen is dead, I don't know if it's on in anyway.
I have plugged it in, (light is green) and pressed power+n, when I do the green light goes black and never comes back on. Should I just leave it for a day and see if it charges in the least despite the lights being black?
I have the exact same problem, with *my* sister's Nook HD+.
After a lot of research and playing around, and even getting a new battery and installing it, it still stays green and never boots.
The reason I understand is that the bootloader (x-loader) has got corrupted. If Barnes and Noble could release their tool used for flashing the bootloader, the device would be up again. Plenty other vendors like Samsung, LG etc. have such custom utilities for their own devices. However, BN haven't released theirs.
The 2-nd stage bootloader needs to get downloaded into the device. Only then any other recovery image can be installed.
Just for their unwillingness to release the flashing tool, devices are getting destroyed.
Annoyingly I seem to have forgotten to charge my Nook HD+ and the batter has drained, and now shows no signs of wanting to charge and reboot. The led stay on Green and no amount of pressing the power button shows signs of life. Guess off to shop at weekend for new tablet...
