Today my nexus 7 did the strangest thing; it was charging but the screen would not turn on. The screen was black, but it was on with small white static appearing every so often.
I could not reboot the tablet or anything it was dead for all concerned. I called Asus and they told me to send it in.( I tried holding power for 30 sec)
I packed it but decided to try it one more time( several hours later)' the battery was dead so I plugged it in expecting the same dead screen and static but instead it started charging... the tablet now seems to be working fine.
I guess the point of this post is to tell people to check there tablets after they let the battery die before they send it back for repair , it may have just crashed and not be broken. We may have to let it die since we can't remove our battery or have a reset button.

This happened to me yesterday. I didn't panic though, knew it would come back to life eventually. Glad it was the same case for you.
It happened to me when I tried to charge it and use it when it had 0% left. I just let it charge a little and it was fine.

Do yourself a favor and just get a flex cable replacement. The prices are around $40 and they aren't too bad to replace.
Popping the battery in and out should be real quick
I had the same problem . Just plug in the charger and keep removing and putting the battery back real fast till it comes on. Usually will within ten times . Its a sureshot. Thank if it helps.

i agree with 2 post above...
connect your charger into led indicator turn on
pull N1 battery
after led is turn off...put the battery back fast...
gud luck
Charger and battery pull works fine, I dud this for almist a year. I replaced the flex board a month ago to regain the button use. I must say that the Chinese boards have a snappier button and denser support foam for the button. Only $50 for the board on eBay. Very easy to replace. Good luck!

I'm still 100% stock. When I took the phone off the charger it was almost to hot to handle. There was also a blinking red light. The battery is now discharging almost 20% an hour on standby. Any ideas?
Check to see if something is keeping your processor running in the battery menu. Try rebooting it to see if it calms down.

I rebooted it and the battery is still draining...... Bad. It's been off the charger since 7 am and I'm at 20%. I'm at the Sprint store right now, lets see what they have to say. Thank you for your reply.
ya your light should be solid red and no where near that hot sounds like trouble
Time to take it into Sprint they will perform a battery test and probably replace it
This happened to me. I was in 14 days so they swapped me a new phone. Its a faulty battery. Eventually it will burn out and not turn on at all. Get a new one.

I did a reset and while it is somewhat better, there are other things now like loosing data and a couple of reboots.
Put my Nook (HD Plus) away last night had about 75% battery left. Woke up this morning it wouldn't turn on. I thought it had crashed so tried all the tricks to get it back on nothing worked so I said to heck with it plugged it in went and shaved, took a shower, and got dressed. Came back it started right up showing 6% battery. I looked in settings the thing with the most battery use is screen with 1 hour and 43 minutes. So no idea what caused the battery to die. Do you guys think it is a bad battery? This is a replacement for the Nook I dropped never had this on my old one. I had CM 10.2 m1 on it as I was playing with the different touch kernels to see any improvement and I know they don't work on the latest version. If it is a m1 issue that is OK I can switch I am not invested in it but if it is a bad battery I want to restore stock and return it before the grace period is over.

Probably just an app that turned on your screen. I would not worry about it unless it happens more times.

Thanks man I will keep an eye on it.
I know there's many threads on the sleep of death and red led of death etc but just wanted to confirm what has happened to mine. The phone started getting very hot with rapid battery level drops. Also, if I turned it off and back on, the battery level would go from like 80% to 20%. The next day, I tried to turn it on and nothing hapened. I've tried charging it for a good 16 hours, tried volume up, volume down, Sony repair, flash mode with flashtool, nothing. The led lights solid red when plugged in and goes straight out when unplugged. Is there anything else I can try or is it well and truly bricked? The phone is unlocked and was running cyanogen mod 10.2 for a couple of months without any trouble....
Based on the symptoms you have provided, it seems to a hardware issue,
I suspect primary the Battery is draining out the juice and taking hours to charge.
secondly it could be a Motherboard failure.
If you goto sony service center and if they identify the problem with the motherboard then they will charge you 50% of the value of the phone and you will get a replacement handset (same color) .
The problem I have is I've already sent my phone to Sony under warranty for a different fault but had it returned unrepaired due to the fact there was evidence I had rooted the phone, therefore my warranty will now be invalidated. Since then I've also unlocked the bootloader so I don't expect any assistance from Sony.
Is there anything I can do myself - would replacing the battery help? How easy is this? I have no problem removing the back panel (I did it before when Sony refused to repair it).
Thanks.

One solution can be that you clean with something the micro usb slot, but with something dry and the charger and usb cabel too
Can anyone confirm if changing the battery is likely to sort my problem as I don't see what other option I have?

Reboot your phone.
If it is still not work, replace the battery.
If it is still not work, then it is the motherboard problem. It hard to repair by yourself.
Try a charging dock, the phone boots the kernel to allow the phone to charge via USB if battery is to low this won't happen, with a dock it is direct tappings to the battery to allow it to charge

Turns out the battery was the problem, I connected a new battery (with the old one still in position) and it fired up first time. However, the old battery was stuck in really well and took some force to remove - when I fitted the new one, the phone turns on but the screen has loads of thin lines in both directions and is totally unreadable. I thought maybe I'd damaged something when removing the old battery, but I can't see any damage the ribbon cables or anything else. Anything I can check or is the screen knackered now? I've pretty much had it with this phone now!

I got that wrong, it wasn't the battery, the new one is now doing the same as the old one. I'll buy a new motherboard and hope that sorts both the power fault and screen fault.

About a month ago while hiking I had my Mexus 6 in a zip lock hoping to keep it safe from water (I now realize how stupid that was). With ziplock in my backpack I waded through chest deep water. Later on I opened my bag and to my dismay there was water inside the zip lock. The phone was operational.
I took it home and tested it. Worked fine for the most part. However when I shut it down it would not bit back up for a day or so. And after charging it for 24+ hours it would randomly boot. Basically I couldn't let it run out of battery or it would be unresponsive for a day or two.
Somehow over time this issue was not valid anymore. My phone could now reboot normally.
A couple of days ago I noticed the phone going into shutdown claiming 0% battery even when battery was 40%. It kept galloping numerous times. Open the camera, phone shuts down showing it's out of battery. The battery saver also makes to kick in as it makes its come and the top and bottom bars turn red/orange.
This has happened more than 20 times now. I did not get the battery shutdown when phone has 80%+ battery. But it started as I dropped below that. At 48% it got so bad that after a shutdown, if I restarted phone, it would, then immediately shut down. When battery was 60%+ it would at least start back up and let me use it for a bit.
Now I know I messed up with the zip lock thing but it's there any thing I can do now? Should I try to change the battery? I have changed battery on iPhones before by myself.
Can I somehow calibrate the battery using software?
Attached are screenshots of my battery stats.
I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to hear this is happening, mine started doing the same thing after three months of use. I tried everything, including a trick someone posted of letting it die and charging it only using the quick charger. I use a QI charger and it was completely unacceptable to think that feature couldn't be used. So I contacted Motorola and they just did a warranty on mine and sent me a new one. I had it the next day.

What info did you have to give for warranty. I don't have original sales receipt. Thanks. I will try the same.
