Hi Guys
Last night my phone was running out of charge so I just left it at home instead of bringing it with me.
Today I went to charge it but the led doesnt come on and the phone doesn't charge.
Anyone have any ideas to get it going, this I was hoping to be my last return so I don't really want to do that so if you have ideas that would be great!
Thanks
When is powered off, press the power button
For about 5 seconds and it will turn on

My rooted NC with Cyan and Phiremod7 (very stable!!) has just started having a problem today. Left alone, it has turned off by itself. Doesn't turn off when I'm using it. Don't really know how long it is taking to do that, but around 2 - 5 hours probably. Actually takes 5 - 8 seconds of holding power button in to turn back on. Usually just sleeps and a tap of the power button wakes up the screen. That function still works, tho. But what could be causing it to turn off? Could a recovery using Rom Manager be the answer? Rather fix the problem than use recovery

+1 I am having the same problems too
It worked fine through the night but shut off again this morning. Had been browsing xda, pushed the power button to turn screen off, left it for a while, then later tried to turn screen back on by touching power button. Didn't work. As if it was turned off. Had to hold button in for a count to 10 seconds before it booted back up.

Just uninstalled several apps that I installed recently (latest) and turned it off. Turned it back on, and it only took the usual 5 seconds holding the power button to turn on.
Keep you posted as to what it does today

the power button issue is normal...it takes about that long for anyone on any CM version on a Nook Color....as for the powering off after it's sitting there for a while...i do not know what the issue there is, I am running Phiremod 7 as well and i have not had any problems with it since i flashed it which was about 1-2 months ago
Isn't this the sleep of death?
I've been having it pretty routinely now lately with several different rooms including the ics ones.
Starting to wonder if it isn't hw related.

Yes, that definitely sounds like it. The device isn't off, it's just frozen in sleep mode or while trying to wake up and it can't turn the screen back on. Holding the power button is first forcing a hard power-off and then turning the Nook back on
Is hard power off the only solution? It's happened another time since my last posting.
I'm having this same problem. I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 on my Nook Color and it either goes dead or the screen doesn't turn on if I leave it idle anywhere from 1-3 hours. It seems to happen randomly and without warning. It is very frustrating. I even reflashed to a different CM7 nightly build and it still happens. Is there any help for this problem?

I was having the same issue (SOD like symptoms every day or other day). I re-calibrated my battery and haven't had the issue since. Just charge up to 100% and run down to the warning by keeping a video playing and the brightness at 100%. Run it down past the warnings until it shuts off and recharge back to 100%.

Definitely sounds like Sleep of Death (SOD). It happens when you leave wifi on all the time and it goes into deep sleep. Wifi and deep sleep get tangled up and it locks up. It is on but you cannot turn the screen back on. Only solution to get it going again is to turn it fully off and back on. The solution is to apply a patched wifi kernel module to your system. You can get it several places including here:

I had a S i9000 with a cracked screen. I have replaced the screen and since I put the bits together the phone no longer switches on
If I place in the battery charger the battery appears on the screen and chargers normally but when I try to switch the phone on nothing happens.
Could please somebody give me any suggestions?
Is there any alternative way to switch on the phone?
Thank you
This may seem obvious but leave it on charge for 30 mins unplug then try turning on

Battery now 100% e vibrated when reached 100% but still NO power
is there another way to power up apart from power button?
Is it showing the charging sign when plugged in?

Yes. I see the battery picture and the dots flashing
So I finally picked up my nexus 7 from best buy. Got home started to power it up and it died before I was able to input my info. So I plugged it into the charger and I cannot power it up. I occasionally get to the Google animation but it turns off shortly after. I've left it charging for 30 min and still nothing. Has anyone run into similar issues?? Please all advice welcome
Normally, there should be at least a third of the full power left.
But in any case, just leave it charging for a while.
For a few times I had problem powering up (not because of no power), I had to keep it plug in and keep holding the power button on for a few seconds and then let go and try again... I had to do this a few times..... It is a matter of trial and error.

You just bought it?
Take it back, and demand a new one. It's not you fault it's not turning on.

Pissed off!! So I left charging over night and in fact I just got home and its still not booting up at all! How can I have this bad of a did!?!? I just picked it yesterday and haven't even had it for 24 hrs. I headed to best buy and what's even worse is I know they don't have any in stock. To make things worse I'm going on vacation for a month in a week and I doubt I'll have one by then. Pretty disappointed at this point!
I hate making new threads but I just had to:
Okay so first my problem:is that the phone is dead. I used it till it drained and now it refuses to start. The red light comes on but battery does not seem to charge fast enough and once it acquires the minimal charge, it spontaneously reboots and wastes that battery. Then I am back to square one. This keeps on happening. It has become really annoying.
I have read many threads. Actually I spent the last two hours or so trying various things. So if someone can tell me a solution, it would be great!
Any help is appreciated because I am helpless right now.
The first thing to do/try is to charge it for at least 24hs without touching it, just let it charge. Then try to turn it on.

I tried. It charges a little and it turns itself on and burns out the charge. But I fixed it! After a lot of time!
Thank you for your interest. I will hit thanks later since I am on my limit.

I've got this exact problem and I've tried all the 'fixes' google has to offer and none work. When I plug it in to charge no light comes on the only way to get it to charge is to hold VOL UP while pressing the Power button. You then have to hold the power button down to keep the charging light lit. However, once it has enough juice to boot it does just that (because the power button is held I guess) It boots all the way into Android and then shuts down because it does not have enough power (and isn't detecting the USB power).
How did you fix yours?
EDIT: FYI My Xperia T has not been rooted and is running the latest official firmware 4.3.
Charge for at least 24hrs with the original wall charger

OK I've tried that and it's still not charging (no red light). The battery is definitely flat as I get no lights at all when pressing the power button without it being connected to power. I can only get the power light to come on by holding the power button. It's been sat here connected to the charger for 2 hours. Going to try the rubber band trick again (holding the power button down).
2 hours charging is definitely not long enough. Just let it charge for 24 hours and don't mess with it in the mean time.

OK I got the usual power up and instant power down because of low power. However I've banded the power button and the Vol Up buttons and it appears to be accepting charge without starting the phone. I'm going to leave it charge overnight hopefully it wont continuously boot cycle... Balls as I wrote this it had been charging for the longest time yet (about 40 mins) still not enough to get ti to boot android without instantly shutting down

It did charge for 24Hours no change, so then I tried (as advised elsewhere) to charge it again this time I waited 2 hours expecting the red light to come on but nothing...
The advice was charge for 24hours - no light shows as the battery is now discharging. The battery was totally flat this afternoon (no blinking lights when pressing power). Then disconnect the power and try and charge it, it should now show it's charging but it never did, maybe I should have waited longer.

OK the final 'fix' I found while googling this was to take the back off and disconnect the battery. This seems to have worked immediately my phone showed a red light and then booted up showing the battery charging symbol on screen - a welcome sight!
Hey guys,
Over a year ago the screen on my Z1 broke. It wasn't until two weeks ago that finally bought a new screen. The phone has been powered off for over a year. Once I installed the new screen and tried to power it back on I got no response. Just a constant red light led. I have left it charging over night on a number of occasions and nothing! Holding down the power button does nothing, holding the power + volume makes the red light flash twice, with no vibrations.
Any advice on what I should do would be much appreciated!
Leave it charging, it will eventually turn on. Happened to me too, it took hours and hours
Edit, oh I saw you tried, no idea sorry mate

If that doesn't work try to connect MicroUSB and magnetic charger together at the same time to force-charge the battery.
You can magnetic cable from the dock if you have it, just open it and remove the cable.
