Bricked?

This morning i woke up, and my touchpad wont boot. It was on the charger all night.
The most i can get is 1 of 2 states
1.) Battery icon with a question mark
2.) Home/Center button has an alternating light going left and right
Ive tried Power + Home, and thats how i get between the two states, though its sorta random which one i end up in.
I cant get to USB/Download mode(Power vol up)
Is there anything else I can try?

I know you said you can't get into USB/Download but I'm not sure which method you've tried. Are you trying to hit vol up just after powering the device on? I've had better luck with turning it off completely, holding vol up, then connecting the USB cable from the computer.
Also, there seem to be several threads in the Q&A section with the same or similar problem. Have you read through those and tried any of those methods?

I have tried that. Ive googled as much as i can and i cant find what the "alternating left and right lights on the home button" mean. Turns out our home button is 2 LED's.
I havent found a success story related to the battery Icon question mark.
Heres a pic:

Does your pc see the tp if you connect it? If the home/center button is flashing it means you have power, so all is not lost (yet, at least). Did you have it charging on the wall charger or the touchstone. If the touchstone, try leaving it charging on the wall charger overnight. I hope this helps.

Mother of god... good luck with them. They're customer service is the worst I've ever dealt with. They've held some of my devices for ransom. True story.

Yea, my fear is that since i couldnt power it on, i couldnt remove CM
Its gonna be pretty obvious once its fixed thats it there lol. If they try that **** with me, I wont be paying htem anything, i considered the TP dead, the warranty is a last resort.
What was wrong with your TP?

[Q] No Boot Brick, NOTHING Works.

So my dad picked up a Nexus 7 16GB about a month ago, and he didn't decide to root it or make any modifications to the system. He kept it in a case at all times, so i know its not a hardware problem, unless its the battery. We did open it up to check the battery, and it was all in place. The device will not boot, no matter what we do. When connected to the computer, it will not be recognized unless the power button is held for 10 seconds, and it will try to install an 'APX' driver. I looked into getting the universal naked driver for 'APX' but it installed it as a ASUS Transformer Prime. Im leaning towards sending it in to Google to get it fixed/replaced, but i wanted to know if there was anything I could do to fix this. All help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.

can you get it into the bootloader? power on holding the power button and volume down button at the same time(hold for about 5 seconds or so).

I tried that, and there is still nothing on the powerless screen.

Nothing shows up on the screen? Perhaps the LCD connector has become detached? Just a guess.
Call Google tell them it just stopped working and get a new one

Actually, this sounds exactly like a hardware problem.

Google is very good with defective product replacement you should be fine.

My power-up is very finicky. Keep tapping the power button. Do so holding down the button for various durations of time. You should be able to get the little guy to turn back on with patience. It took me about ten minutes worth of multiple attempts a few days ago.

Hi.
I have a HTC One silver 32GB from 8th April (Germany o2)
I unlocked Bootloader.
Rercovery on it.
Did backup of phone.
Flashed Trickdroid.
Deleted it and restored backup.
Thats what I did on begin of may.
Then after 2 weeks...
Was playing Real racing 3. Phone is as always hot. Battery must be like 50%
I put it on charger for 20 mins.
When I pull charger off. LED goes off as usual but phone does nothing anymore.
Can't enter bootloader. Can't start. Can't Soft reset. Nothing works. Booting to Bootloader via One-All-In-OIne Kit and USB Cable doesn't work since it can't detect phone.
Stupid company said that unlocking Bootloader voids warranty so..
What can I do? I will try to stop contract because there are European rules that in first 6 month they gotta do everything.
Ty for ur help.
EDIT: The repairing company did send me a pic of bootloader. Btw HOW did they get there?

If your phone won't turn on then how are they going to know it's been unlocked? Just send it back to them
R u in the UK?
PS: Just noticed your in Germany.

I can verify that the light trick works. Someone else on here said its because HTC wanted to prevent somebody from hitting those two buttons in their pocket and resetting the phone. So they make the phone be in a bright light in order for you to reset the phone in that manner

If they can get to bootloader, so can you, go in sun, hold power and vol down for as long as you get in bootloader, thats it go in recovery, wipe everything, put any custom rom on and thats it!!

Outdoor light did not work for me. I had to hold the phone directly above a light bulb. As soon as I did that it booted right up and has been fine ever since. It went into the shut down mode you described as I was copying files to a USB drive via an OTG Cable.

Got the same issue... Light doesn't work (Tryed LED Flashlight normal Bulb or Halogen....) Last Try could be light from my car...
@uZzY94
Where did you send Phone to reapir ?

Can't turn screen on after I turn it off?

So if I'm on any other rom other than Stock I can't turn the screen back on once I turn the screen off.

Your post makes no sense when you lock the phone the screen is supposed to turn off when locked...

It makes perfect sense.
If I'm running stock I can turn the screen on and off. If i'm not on stock. The screen will turn on when I turn the phone on but when I turn the screen off, I cannot turn the screen back on again even though the phone is on.
I've tried re-installing the Roms and tried all the clean wipes and stuff and installs and I can't get the screen to turn on when I actually try to turn it on.
Looks like I just have to use stock rom then -_-

Try pulling the battery. It helps me on my EVO 4g that really old.

[Q] HTC Vivid Bricked?

Hello all! i usually don't come over to this side of xda, i'm more of a Samsung guy lol
my friend gave me her nonworking HTC Vivid and told me to try and revive it for her. she said that the screen is broken, but i don't believe that's the case. every so often when i press the power button, the screen lights up (black), and when it's charging (as it is now), the screen is also lighting up (black) and the LED light is orange. any help would be appreciated
also as a side note: does anyone know if you can take out the SIM tray? just curious. thanks all
