Hi guys, today noticed some strange issue with my touchpad. When i tried to turn on my TP it didn't respond, after few tries i took brake, when tried again used all possible combination of buttons to check if its power bricked. On holding power button + home combination after few sec it finally showed boot screen and it turned android on.
My battery was on 85% but still it gave my trouble to turn him on.
Is it normal thing or should be better to clear my TP and install Android from scratch?
Im on CM9 last nightly build with new kernel from Shumash.

Sometimes i have to hold the power with or without the home button for 30 seconds but not very often.

Will completely turn the TP back to original. It's kind of a PITA, but it works. Read the whole thing and if you have problems with novaterm, there's a work around on page 12.

Hey all. So up until about a week ago I was running CM7 nightly build 150 something on internal memory and all was fine on my nook, with just the occasional issues with the facebook app, but SoD seemed to be gone, and so on. Recently I updated to CM7 build 253 which fixed my Facebook problem, seemed to run better blah blah blah. I made some changes, added some new widgets (HD widgets was only 10c on the market!), and SoD had seemed to come back. I was literally checking my email, I put it down, checked it again 1/2 hour later and it was dead.
I wasn't too concerned because in the past all I would do is plug in my charger and it would pop up. Well not this time. It wouldn't come back on, the power switch wouldn't work either. So I decided to let it charge up fully. This morning, power button still didn't work, unplugged it and tried again. It just straight out won't even try to turn on.
I'm considering trying to format my SD card as bootable and see if something maybe just got cooked internally.... But I have doubts that it would even boot from that. Unfortunately didn't have time to test it much, but has this happened to anyone else? Do I now own an expensive doorstop?
I don't know that it'd work very well as a doorstop :/
Hold the power and n button down for a lonnng time.

From what I understand it's not possible to brick it. I assume you read the thread of how to unbrick pinned to the top of this forum? That is where I would ask the question if it is still open.
Also try just holding the power button alone for a long time. Wait a few seconds. Then try to boot again.
Hold down the n + power button for 10 seconds. Release. Hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Repeat this process 2 or 3 times, if necessary. Has never failed me.
Try making a bootable SD card and see if it will boot that way.

I had to do this about 7 Times, then it finally booted.
What was stranger, the battery level was the same as when it died, even though I had plugged it in and "charged" it till the n light went green. According to the battery history it basically seems as if I had simply shut it off and never plugged it in.
Normally I wouldn't be so concerned about a SoD moment, but in almost a year of having the nook color it has never locked up like this (running CM7 anyway).
My buddy dropped off his touchpad to have me check into Android for it. After getting it into usb screen, I'm pretty sure the "center" button isn't working and is permanently stuck with the usb screen. I noticed the "center" button wasn't having any affect on the touchpad before getting it into the usb screen, but didn't think about it... Guess I'm going to have to hope it dies overnight and try to figure out the "center" button later. Any thoughts on either situation if it doesn't die by tomorrow?
hold down the power and bottom home button for about 20 secs, the touch pad will reboot and be out of the USB mode.
Luckily it died over night and booted up normal this morning. I'll check the home button again but pretty sure it isn't working. I tried that numerous times last night for several different amounts of time with no change. Just hoping it doesn't get stuck again when I try to load cm7 on it.

Well as long as the center/home button isn't registering as being pressed when it's not, you should have no problems loading android. Just be sure that if you load any other rom other than CM7/CM9 that you rename the file to include update- in front of the filename, and all should load correctly.
Actually loaded everything last night and it worked perfectly! It's pretty rad so far. Found out the button works if u press on the very bottom right of the button. Thanks for the help!

Dear all, I just update my touchpad form CM7 A3.5 to CM9 A0.5.
After updating, comes the switch on problem, the details as blow:
In CM7 A3.5 system, I can shut down and switch on the touchpad with power button as normal, it also means the power button works.
When I update to CM9 A0.5(the updating is successful), I found USB connect problem, so I want to restart touchpad to solve it. As we know, in CM9 system, when press the power button, only shut down selection. So I shut down touchpad. When I press the power button to restart touchpad again, there is no response. the touchpad did nothing. even press main button and power button together. I do not know what happened.
Update: the most probably caused this is I use plustoolbox to change the boot animations.
Is this only a special case? Or could be my failure.
Update information:
After keep my touchpad after 20 hours, I try to switch on it again, the power button works, but just show low battery(by last shut down, it should be 50% battery left), so I charger it. After a while, touchpad started and gone into CM9 system and works.But when I shut down again, the touchpad can not switch on again. I do not know this time I should wait how long time then it can work again.

You can force a restart by holding the power and center buttons together for 30 seconds.
Thank you for replying.
I have tried but failed.
now the second round is
In shut down status, after 24 hours, the battery can from 100% reduce to low battery.
In this status, I can charger and start touchpad.

I'm not currently using the ICS build, but I would then suggest doing a complete reinstall of CM9 through acme installer. Make sure to uninstall the current build that you have on their.

Hi all,
We got our Nook HD+ on Wednesday. I was intending to root it and install CM 10.1 but haven't even got that far before problems have started. I thought I'd post this just in case anyone else had the same problem. When the problem first started, it still should have had plenty of charge left. I had been using it to read a book and play a game earlier in the day. I turned it off after use; now it won't boot back up again. The backlight seems to come on for a few seconds but then goes off. Holding Power and 'n' does nothing except turn the backlight on as previously mentioned.
We have not modded this device in anyway, neither is there a micro-SD card in the device. It is now fully charged but still presenting the same issue.
If anyone has come across this before, or knows another way to do a hard reset, please let me know.
Thanks, Peter
Let it charging for a while then try what you did again.

Did you try holding the power button for like 15 seconds, releasing and then briefly hold the power button? If you hold it too long, it turns itself back off.
If you tried that and are sure it is charged and it does not turn on, it is a hardware issue and it is time for a warranty exchange at the B&N store.

Had a similar issue the first time... Power it on... Plug the charger, leave it with the screen looking like this and wait 20 minutes. Reboot and check if it boots properly. If not, try rebooting by holding the power button and the volume buttons simultaneously...

Thanks. I went on the Nook UK support chat and they couldn't instruct me to get it started again. It's been returned and hopefully our replacement will be on the way soon. Possible hardware fault was the suggestion.
I finally decided to give Android a go on my two touchpads, and loaded the 10.3.14 CM 11 nightly build.. installed via the Touchpad Toolbox.
The short: My 16GB model with just stock software seems to be okay. I charged it to full using a cable after the installation, and haven't done much with it since. I'm hesitant, because of how my 32GB is behaving. The 32GB model seemed to be fine, initially. I installed the Dolphin browser along with Adobe Flash, and some other apps which I have installed on my phone. I used the 32GB for a while after installation, then set it on a Touchstone over night to charge. In the morning, it was completely unresponsive. The only sign of life is a solid white (not flashing or flashing back and forth) Home button which stays lit for 4-5 seconds after any sort of attempt at activity (plugging in the charging cable or attempting to turn it on via the power button).
I did a complete data wipe, and a reflash of the charging chip, using the Touchpad Toolbox, prior to the installation on each Touchpad.
edit: I did charge it for an additional night using a cable after the problem was known.. no change.
Any ideas?
I've noticed the same. When it gets in that unresponsive state you can hard reset it to force a reboot, by pressing the power + home until the HP symbol shows up. ~2 - 3 secs.
I'm running @jcsullins CM11. It is very solid otherwise. I suspect it is the new daydream mode!

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure about the implications of Home + Reset, so I hadn't tried it. It worked for hard reset on the second try. Now to look up daydream mode..

The daydream mode can be found in
