So there I was playing a game on my DS7, battery around 80‰, I pressed the power button to put the tab to sleep, now it doesn't respond to any button. Tried plugging it in to power charger, charge indicator light doesn't even turn on.
Any ideas?

Edit: Solved now, thank you. needed to use a crafts-mounting pin because the hole for the reset button was too small for a push pin!
There is a pin hole reset button next to the SD card slot. Give that a try

That did it, was odd, flashing red charging LED when I first tried to turn it on, acted like the battery was 0%. Charged it overnight and working just fine again :\
That happens to me every once in a while especially after playing certain games. Glad its working again for you.

I was one of the early pre-orders and received my Nexus 7 last Tuesday evening (7/17).
Like most users, I checked it out for problems: screen, mic, etc.
Everything checked out fine.
I did some customization, downloaded some apps, tried out all the new features.
Everything worked well.
I had connected it to my PC, no problems. Rebooted it, no problems.
After about 6 hours, I put my Nexus 7 to sleep (not shutdown) and
started to prepare to go to sleep myself.
After about 5 minutes or so, I decided to download one more app.
I tried to wake up my device -- and it would not wake up!
I tried a long press on the power button -- still no good.
Thinking maybe the screen had gone bad, I tried to connect
it to my PC to see if it could be recognized -- no good!
Yikes, could my Nexus 7 have died? I decided to try
to charge it, plugging the charger into the wall. No little
charging icon showed up on the screen
I decided to just let it charge overnight and see what happens.
The next morning, the Device still would not power up
I called google play and told them my story and they
said they would start the process of sending me a new
Nexus 7.
I started looking on the Forums, to see if anyone had
the same experience. Some people suggested that
I hold the power button down for 30+ seconds.
I tried, 30, 60, 90 seconds ... still no good.
Over the following days, while waiting for my RMA process to play out,
I would periodically pick up my Nexus and try the power button -- no good.
Today, 9 days later, on a whim I decided to again plug my device
into the charger. Believe it or not, the charger icon went on!!!!
After charging it for about 90 minutes, I booted it up and everything
was working again!
The replacement Nexus has not shipped yet, so I have a few days
to see if this problem occurs again.
My guess is that my device got into some hardware freeze situation.
The battery finally ran out of juice which caused the machine to
completely shut down -- which allowed me to re-charge it today.
Any other thoughts?
>Any other thoughts?
Maybe you can give the hidden reset button a try the next time?
NB: For the unfamiliar, a video teardown showed a reset button at top of the unit, but no hole through the casing to access it.

I did do that at one point. However, if I did it at a point
where the battery actually had run down I still would
have needed to re-charge the device -- which I did not
even try until today. Nice to know though.
I haven't had any issues with my nexus whatsoever thus far. I really hope these are anomolies.

Sounds like the ever so familiar sleep of death that occurs on custom Roms. It requires the reset button or let the battery die
I'm kinda glad I didn't get my Nexus 7 yet. LoL!! All these issues ppL are having.
OK, I've seen this twice (so it isn't complete death) but wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas. I've done a complete shut down (power button for 8 sec) and then couldn't get it to turn back on. When this is happening, I can plug it in and see the green charging light. Holding the power button then for 8 sec will make the green light go out. Pushing it again, light comes on. So the button is working... If i leave it for awhile, the nook will then reboot and appear to work normally...

If your device battery level is below 10 percent it will not turn on until it charges up to at leat 15 percent level. Then it will turn on.

I think that is the mechanism stopping it, but it is malfunctioning, I'm at about 90% this last time...
Is there ther equivalent of 'battery stats' somewhere that can be affecting this? or is this hardware? It should be turning on fine at 80-90% but no. However, plug in for 10 mins and it works fine. So that seems to be the problem.

OK, this is getting worse, I'm now at 100% charge and it happened. Weirder still, if I leave it plugged in for awhile, it will reboot on its own.
I have not had this happen on my HD but something similar has happened on my HD+. It seems to be related to whether an SD is plugged in. I have to take the SD out, press power off for a while, then release and momentarily press power again.
I know on the Nook Colors, they would not turn on unless it could find the boot files to boot from. So if a user formatted his internal boot partition by mistake, it would not turn on unless a bootable SD with active boot files was in the slot. Something akin to this may be happening, only in reverse.

Once I got it booting, then I could put the SD back in and boot to it.

OK, this seems to have worked. I tried to change the partition of my CWM SD card using EaseUS, but that seemed to make it no bootable, and removing it does seem to have worked. Now I can boot a new reimaged CWM card.
Thanks!
Good to hear that your nook is working again.
It seems i am having a similar issue, only a little more severe.

Something similar happened to my HD+ running the 12/31 build of verygreen's CM. In my case, I think it was precipitated by the battery draining too far first, though. Very weird and a little spooky, but glad there's a workaround.
Wow, this is dumb. I can't believe a badly-formatted SD would cause it to look like it's broken. Put a message up or something. Thanks for the help, thought something was really wrong!
Nook HD Plus won't charge
I've seen dozens of reports of this. The symptoms are all about the same.
The unit drains the battery, even if you plug it in, it still drains, so although the charger and cable are fine, something inside the Nook doesn't get the memo.
It drains down to the point where it turns off. Then every time you plug it in, the light goes green, then amber, then off. The battery never charges.
I tried taking the unit apart and disconnecting the battery overnight, but that didn't seem to help. I suspect something in the software gets in a "vapor lock" where a dead battery condition is mistaken for a fully-charged battery condition. I only paid $109 for it refurbished, so it isn't worth another $60 for a new battery, and I don't think there is anything wrong with this battery.
If I knew the pinouts of the battery connector, I might try charging it without going through the Nook. Perhaps if it was actually fully charged, the "vapor" would realign.
Does anyone have another idea, apart from the nitwit stuff Barnes & Noble allows on its forums, like "push the cable in harder" or try another adapter. I notice they aren't interested in entertaining any idea that their firmware is at fault.
It will not charge when plugged in if OTG USB is activated (e.g., to connect a USB keyboard). That's happened to me a few times using unofficial VG CM versions where the USB state can be changed inadvertently from a pull down drawer. If the USB isn't toggled back to normal in time to recharge the battery before its completely discharged, it might not be revivable.

I've the same problem, except even if I leave it a while, it doesn't boot or even appear to start. Is there something wrong with the battery or display? It was working perfectly fine until suddenly the screen froze and I had to do a complete shut down.
I cant get my nook to turn on. I try charging it and a little green light comes on at the bottom and stays on for about 3 seconds and then a orange light comes on for about 3 seconds and then it shuts off. I dont know if the light is supposed to stay on while it is charging. Sometimes it comes up with a dead battery sign but it just goes right back off.

Have you tried charging it with its wall-charger for an extended period (8+ hours)?
Hi !
So my nexus 7 is not charging anymore... 3 days ago I took it outside ( it was -20°C in Montreal) and tried to use it but it did not start ( I think the battery went off because of the cold).
When I went back home I plugged it to the AC charger but nothing happened. I checked on several forums ans finally succeeded in booting the tablet. But the as soon as the tablet is on, it displays the message that the tablet is shutting down. I can see that the battery is empty and it is like the tablet is not plugged to the charger(the icon displays a red exclamation point instead of the charging indicator)
When the tablet is off and I plugged it to the charger it displays the charging icon for a 10 seconds and then it disappears. During those few seconds I can launch the boot loader. I tryed to shut it down, de plug and re plug the charger. The charging icon appears and then disappears again after a few...
Any advice on this one ? I don't think the tablet is totally dead but I don't find the way to make it charge again.
Thanks a lot,
Guillaume

Does the charger get warm at all when you plug it in? Not that that's necessary but curious. Try charging on a different charger. Perhaps a local BB or similar would let you try plugging in in lieu of buying one. But trying a different charger/cord would be my first step.
Usually it's heat and not cold that devices hate.
HTH
Have you plugged it into a computer and left it that way for a few hours?
Did you tried pressing Power button for 30 seconds ?? It worked for some people, I was not even able to turn on my nexus 7 when its reached to my hands, i was so unlucky, today i given it to Asus service centre as its has international warranty, i lives in india & bought from US, they working on it,hoping for best.
You might have to take the back off and check the battery connector,some people have had them come loose.

These things are freezer tested and they work. Worst comes to absolute worst complete battery replacement is not that difficult if you are out of warranty. I remember reading that in the disassembly notes.

Hi everybody...
I have an issue for you...
Yesterday I was using my phone and battery was aboout 40%.
I then took out it from my pocket to switch on the screed and it didn't switch on...it seems the screen was on but black...
- I tried to press the switch button, but nothing...I connected it to my portable battery and nothing too...
- I tried to switch on by press all three phisical buttons and I had a short vibration and nothing else, just another vibration after about 20sec...
That makes me feel that situation was possible to fix...
Of course the battery couldn't be removed and put on again...
Finally I arrived home and I connect to electricity and nothing, I connected to my PC and I reboot the phone by the utility: it works!!
I was worried and I would like to know what happened and if that's possible to repeat again...
Thanks!

This phone doesn't play nice with a lot of portable battery chargers. Try it with the charger that came with it?
A short while after you plug the charger in, it should appear to boot and display only a charging screen. Once it gets to 10% or 15% you can pull the charge cable out, power it on normally and then plug the charge cable back in.
Oddly, Nokia micro USB chargers seem to work well with this phone, if you have one of those spare.
Hi!
thanks for the answer, but you maybe misunderstood, I know about difference between charging from portable charger and normal...it happened with my backflip when it was completely empty...
Maybe I didn't explain well...the phone went "off" alone, but I was sure battery was about 30%...and it didn't work, just the screen on and black...
In my case even normal charger didn't work to reboot phone...
My solution was just to connect to computer and reboot with the tool...
but I don't know what happened, till now it didn't happen again...
p.s. I have a portable charger bought on groupon, that it works, but it's extremely slow...
bye!!

Yesterday my Atrix hd just went black in the middle of text message. Ive tried to hold down the power button and volume keys. Ive tried to hold down the power button and volume up button and the power button and volume down button. Nothing worked. Tried several different charges and this still didnt work.Finally i watched a video on how to remove the battery and when i did that and plugged the phone back in the green indictor light comes on but nothing else works. I have the cynafox 4.4 rom on the phone. Is this phone fried?? Can something be done???
Your description sound like it's fried (a.k.a. hard bricked). If you can't get it to boot on (even to a black screen), I believe your phone has moved on to a better place. If so, I'm sorry for your loss
