Well im pretty good with electronic, dis assembly and reassembly... however I may have bit the farm here. I replaced my digitizer for my device and the adhesive I purchased wasnt good enough so it was causing touch screen issues... So I took it all apart again and put it all back together to find OMG it wont turn on? Fully charged battery so I know thats not the issue and everything seems to be put in the right place (as if there is any other way to re-assemble this phone)....
So I did some trouble shooting... I tried switching to an original charger, attempted hard reboot assumed maybe the device was confused... left it on the charger as if god himself removed the remaining battery life all to no avail... However one thing I did notice is that for a while when the device was unplugged and sitting there the LED light would periodically blink red... hmm couldnt find anything on that ... Also when I remove the battery leads and plug it in the LED light illuminates green and stays that way regardless there still is no function to the phone literally a blank screen... I checked the screen and digitizer for damages both on its leads and the devices themselves and found there to be nothing wrong with them...
Im pretty sure I know the answer Im just hoping that Im wrong..
Also heres something Ive noticed as well, that when I plug both the phone in and leave the battery in it gets dangerously hot like battery about to explode hot after about 10 minutes or so

I buy broken Atrix HDs off of eBay all the time so I may be able to help. I've noticed that even though the battery is fully charged, when replacing the digitizer, the phone will think it's dead until it hits 100%. I usually have to hold the power button a Lil longer than normal, and when it turns on it will say 1% bat, remaining. It will charge the remaining battery and instantly jump to 100% when it's full.
Tl;dr: hold power until it turns on, charge to 100%

Well heres the thing. I already have been using the phone since Ive replaced the digitizer and its functioned relatively properly (aside from the adhesive not holding the digitizer down) the thing that concerns me is when I hook the battery back up to it and plug the phone in it gets dangerously hot like literally to the point where I question weather or not its going to explode also it doesnt show any LED function with the battery connected.
Go through and double check all of your connections. Also, connect it to your computer and see what device manager says.

Checked, rechecked and triple checked the connections as you know with the MB886 the connections only go one way and they either are in or not theres no middle-man. Unfortunatly my data-cable is not functioning so I cannot hook it up to the PC at the moment however I assume that if there is no function or charge with it just being plugged into the power cable then likewise would result from a PC connection. Not to mention the unexplained heat... like Im saying its almost to hot to hold kinda heat..
Well, last one I bricked it would be green light anytime it was plugged in and it had a specific register on the device manager.

When I plug it into my computer it says USB INPUT DEVICE RECOGNIZED DRIVERS INSTALLED CORRECTLY! To me that all sounds posative! Question is where to from here?
Thats with the battery out... When I hook the battery up it immediatly begins to get warm and recognizes as a Motorola USB Composite Device then starts disconnecting/reconnecting... Also during this process I noticed that the aluminum battery chassis is cracked right where the battery connects to the unit...
Do you have a second battery? If so, test the other battery. Otherwise, I am out of thoughts.

My nook was idle for a day or two, as I remember I hv shut it off.
But then yesterday I try to charged it, the light was green then turn to red, n then it went off, usually the nook would turn on right after I plug the charger. So I didn't notice it until today, and I tried to turn it on by pressing the power button, and the N button together as well, both didn't work.
It seems that I can't charge it or turn it on. Everytime I tried to re-plug it to power or press power button while its connected, the light went on in green to red then off again.

Connect your charger. Let it stay on charger 20 min. Then try push n button. If this not bring screen on then try push power button for 5 sec. Again if not then try power and n button combination.
Hope this helps.
Thx! Turns out tht external charger didn't work.

I think that last opinion is make CWM sd card (without CM10) and insert it do device, then try to switch the device on (with charger trick or power button). If you then get it live all is ok. If not then last change is wait when battery goes empty and charger wakes it up.
Actually i predict that item is itself faulty and you must return it for change (maybe not faulty at hardware side, only OMAP inside code got corrupt).
I don't know, that might because I rooted my device, and I did sth wrong. Sometimes it would reboot itself, since my cmw card was inserted, it would load tht root page so I found out. But I live in Asia so returning the device might be too costly, probably won't do it.

It could be several things. The most likely is it was trying to update itself and could not because the CWM card was there. I don't think your device is defective.

Now i can say same. With first information things was other.
...It's more or less a known bug to those of us who use CM10 (even to some who use stock), the battery simply often can't tell how much she has left. So she may fluctuate from 1% to 26% to 0% a moment later . In one such moment my Nook HD+ shut down (went from 26% to 0%). So I put it up for charging thinking (naively) that it would boot up ... it didn't, now all I get is a charging icon that never goes away (orange led remains lit). What's more I *know* it has some charge (the "26%" was the right value) and I know the battery works, so what prevents it from starting is the "battery charge sensor".
It's a pretty silly way to lose your (my) tablet over. Even more so given how much I grew attached to it for my workflow. So what's next? Is there a secret way to convince it to boot. As I said both the hardware and its software is in top condition. I guess an alternative would be to ship it back for replacement but I'm afraid that I've lost my receipt and -as I said- it's a silly way to lose your tablet over, there *has* to be a (fast) way out...
BTW when connected to my PC my device manager briefly shows an "Omap 4470" unknown device (with an exlamation mark) which goes away few secs later, so I cannot attain ADB control over my devices either (sadly)....

If you are running CM10 or 10.1, there is an easy way to connect with ADB. Do it wirelesly over wifi. That is built into CM. Just enable it in the developer options. No need to mess with the USB cable and windows drivers. You can do the same thing with rooted stock by installing an app called ADBWireless.

At the time that could not happen , since (as I had implied) my nook was not booting to begin with...
Anyhow, what I did was to leave it for three solid hours on the charger, and after that period of time it booted on its own wiithout warning. It's the first that such behavior was/is ever present to my nook and it's deeply worrying. A battery fix for the CM kernel couldn't come any sooner; now, if only verygreen was around
There's a few ideas on a couple of other threads including putting it in the fridge, etc. Question, if you plug it in, does the charging light come on? Does it come on after pushing the power button or the N button? If so, take your SD out, leave it charging overnight and try again. It often reboots when in this state and if there's an update problem, that could be the issue. Also, it is sometimes erratic on when and how it charges, be careful with the connections.

As I said it came up on its own, without warning after leaving it for 3 hours on the charger...
As for your question, the led (charging light) was on all the time but it would only show me that it had no battery (couldn't charge even though it was ... charging?)
Maybe the fridge makes sense in those situations, as it was indeed into a (relatively) hot environment and maybe it couldn't charge as a safety against overheating and since (at the same time) it also thought it had 0 battery. But what I can't understand is why needed 3 hours before starting to charge up, it was already cool enough long before ... strange things are/were happening with my battery all along and I worry...

Yep, I've noticed the same thing a few times. It no longer panicks me. When it doesn't turn on, I take out the SD, plug it in, wiggle the connector a few times, and let it alone. So far, it has always eventually rebooted, often as you say on its own. Quirky, but not fatal at least. One poor guy on here never did get his to turn on, but the key was the charging light,his didn't come on.
Need help cannot turn on Nook HD+ at all
Hi!
I cannot turn it on at all and it won't reboot.
It went out some point I didn't watch it. When I connected it to the charger the LED next to the connector starts blinking amber and green for a few seconds and then stays blinking red and makes a high pitched noise.
The only reaction I get is when I press power on an volume down after some time - it display turns on an shows a charging sign - but it never really seems to fully charge. I left it on the charger over night - still the same. Once the display blinked and showed “nook” but went out immediately after a few milliseconds.
Might it be some kind of bootloop!?!?
What combination to press to make a reset?
Thanks in advance for any help

Opened bike race when the screen froze while opening the game (dark screen).
Pulled the battery but when I boot the screen goes on after 3 secs, stays on for 2 secs then goes into dim mode (i can see it's still on).
However my phone doesn't boot since I don't get any whatsapp messages. Normally it should boot to SIM screen but other apps should run.
X+power or M+power doesn't change much.
I'm guessing mobo/cpu fail.... any ideas?
:crying:
edit: It turns on when I put in the charger without battery! Dead battery?
If you put the battery flat on a table does in spin well. Batteries bulge when they are done. The better the spin the worse it is. It's odd the behaviour that can happen with a end of life battery

Well now I'm not so sure what it is.
When I put the cable in without battery the M logo appeared and then the charge screen with a ? in the battery (because there was none)
Then I put the battery in and it started charging.
After a while I tried to turn it on but same problem - just a black screen when power it, no logo whatsoever.
Now I can't get it to work without battery either...
edit: I don't think it can be the battery, because the screen stays on (it has power apparently) and it doens't work with cable connected either
But I also don't see it being the screen as it never vibrates like it does when you boot it.
How did it just show the charge screen before and now it doesn't??
I made a vid of what happens when I power it:

The Droid 3 and Bionic are similar phones, and it turns out that the Bionic will not boot up without a battery - it will hang at the Moto logo even if plugged in. See this thread at androidforums.com: http://androidforums.com/motorola-d...via-adb-unable-boot-up-phone.html#post5463741
So, it may be that you just need a good battery pack in order to get to Recovery/Bootloader/Fastboot etc. if the phone will not start or start to Safestrap.

In my XT860 in its power when it reaches the lockscreen, restarts or shuts.
When I put it to charge my battery shows 0% and charging. When I go to Safestrap-after several attempts-, battery shows 99% or sometimes 80%.

I tried the stock cable that came with my phone (USB) but nothing happens. Screen doesn't even go on.
The light next to the microUSB does go on.
But my phone has never booted with USB (0.5A). When my battery was 0% I always needed a socket charger because it wouldn't go on and charge with USB
When I then insert battery and try again with stock cable same happens as in the video

I'm gonna try my spare battery (original battery) tomorrow. It that doesn't work it must be hardware related because I haven't flashed or done anything to it so it's not softbricked or something.
edit: it team blackhat do send to europe? How would this be different from trying another (working) battery?
Try cutting a USB cable open, hook the red wire to the + of the battery and - to the black and let it charge that way. Also, do you have any MicroUSB charger? I have one for a BB Bold I used to have that delivers I think 1.25A and it could charge my phone from dead (obviously not now with the flex cable having a rip in it).

The little light next to the USB port is the 'It's still alive" light that Moto put in when the battery is completely dead. It's to let you know that the phone *is* charging, just not high enough to boot the phone (i.e. when you let the battery completely die).
WHY they did not make it a standard charging light (like the D1 and D2) I don't know, but that's the only time it comes on. A quick flicker on USB plugin, or when the battery is dead. The light goes out when it gets enough power to boot up.

Well, it's not charging because there's no battery , the light it still on
I really dont see how its the battery because when I put it in without cable the screen turns on and stays on for as long as I keep the battery in. So it HAS power. Today I'm getting my spare battery and we'll see I guess..... don't have my hopes up

Can anyone confirm that the phone should boot when I remove the LCD alltogether? Else it might be a bad LCD or loose connector
As the title says, my HTC Vivid won't turn on, charge or anything. The orange light that says it's charging doesn't turn on, buttons don't vibrate or anything. It shouldn't be bricked because I haven't done anything to brick it. I was using Xbox Smartglass on it, I locked the phone and went back to my game, about 15 minutes later I tried to unlock it and it did nothing. The battery shouldn't have been dead because I charged it the night before. Any suggestions or help please?

LOL The reason I got a Vivid is because he gave it to me. Sadly, I was hoping there would be a technical solution instead of trying a new battery. I've got one ordered though. :/
Some have bad batteries.
Mine started doing the same thing. For a while I thought the battery life on Vivid was horrible compared to the Aria I had at the time. Then it progressed and one day finally quit completely and would not take a charge from any charger I had. So, being a techhead I decided to probe the battery with a multimeter and it showed very little voltage, so low I guess the charger wouldn't even recognize or try to charge it.
So what I did was take a battery charger I had for a walkie talkie radio and touched the leads to the battery for 3-5 seconds or so, put battery back in phone and it would then charge. I did this a few times until I could get to ATT store and the guy ordered a new one through warranty. Haven't had a problem with the Vivid since.
Same Problem
Last night I pulled my battery at 21% after shutting the phone off to clear the memory. I put the battery back in and put it on the charger, I tried to turn the phone on and nothing. It is not showing that it is charging. I have four batteries for this phone and none of them will turn on the phone. I am at a loss here. The phone was working fine until i shut it down and removed the battery. Any ideas on what is causing this or any way to force it to turn on.

That sounds like a royal pain.
Could it be the changer or its USB cable? Work some contact cleaner into the power button?
I'm having this same issue. I'm not sure if it's the battery, since the phone boots to bootloader just fine. But the battery won't charge when the phone is off (red light comes on for a second, then quits) and I can't get past the HTC screen booting to ROM or recovery. Where is a good place to buy a battery?
Even if the power button was bad the phone should still charge a battery. I have a charger that will charge the batteries without the phone so I know the batteries are charged. I have several different chargers and none of them will show the phone charging. I even tried connecting it to my computer. The phone is dead, I guess I am going to have to crack it open and see if anything has come loose inside. I really like this phone and am going to hate loosing it. I paid a lot for this phone. That shinny penny I paid to get this phone was my favorite.
Have you tried plugging the phone USB into a desktop and using that to try rebooting the phone into bootloader or recovery?
Hasoon2000's Vivid All-In-One Toolkit in the dev section can do that pretty simply. i used an earlier version of that to unlock the phone a year and a half ago.
i don't remember if the phone has to have debugging turned on for the desktop to feed it commands.
Even if this works i dunno whatall it'll prove.
i like this phone too a lot, and am sorry yours seem to be having hardware problems.

The phone does not turn on at all so getting to the bootloader is impossible. It does nothing. Does not even charge a battery. .

That's the definition of a bricked phone, was what i meant. No screen, no led, no button function, no sign of life, and from no explicable cause.
Android phones don't have real on-off switches that directly disconnects the phone from power. Its failure to manifest signs of life doesn't absolutely indicate irreversible hardware failure. There's a bit of a chance it's firmware.
Aside from the power button, Android phones can be controlled thru the USB port.
I took your advise and plugged the phone into the computer and left it over night. This morning I rebooted the computer and the phone screen lit up. I got all excited and tried to use adb to reboot into bootloader, Of course the phone was not found. I took the phone off the cord and the screen shut off. I pushed the power button and the screen lit up. Let go of the power button and the screen goes off. I tried another usb cord and now the screen no longer lites up. Maybe there is hope for this phone.
If the screen lights up like that... there is power to it...
Sounds like you have dirt in your power button... or the button isn't making contact...
Time to disassemble and check the power button...

Yeah, that part where the phone was seen by the desktop, and then not, can have something to do with the Windows drivers. Most of the folks on these forums know what's with this stuff better than me; i usually have to tell windows to stop the hardware, disconnect and reconnect the phone USB and start the connection up again, every time before i do one set of commands, like put the phone into bootloader and download a kernel image into it.
There's a Vivid unbricking project over in the dev subforum, you must've seen that. Whether or not you get your phone working again, i hope it'll be a productive journey for you.
i was perfectly happy just messing with apps until i bricked my tablet; that got me into all this device unlocking and rom burning and fun stuff. It's too bad the Vivid isn't simpler to hack.
my phone cant boot to desktop after i flash the kanel
my phone cant boot to desktop after i flash the kanel please can you help me
9 times out of 10, if the phone will not turn on at all it is the battery. For some reason, the Vivid will occasionally stop seeing the battery. I have fixed this on mine when that happened by using an external charger. That worked because my battery was actually OK, the Vivid just wouldn't charge it or even see it. Once it was charged it was fine. If your battery really is dead (sounds like it might be the case), get a new battery. There is a 2000 mHr battery on Amazon that is not too much worse than the original (when new).
I had the same issue once, it turns out that I fixed it using a external charger
HTC One won't charge or turn on. I was just sitting around setting up my new computer, and I checked my phone and it was at 1%. I figured I could just let it run out because I wasn't using it. Later, when I went to charge it, I noticed that no LED light was showing up when I tried to charge it. I tried plugging it into the computer, and the computer would make the sounds it makes when a USB is plugged in. When I tried turning it on from there, the computer sounds went back and forth with several seconds in between each beep. There was still no LED light, and I have tried to use the "volume button- power button" booting method but it hasn't worked. I also tried charging it overnight and when I got up in the morning there was still no LED light and nothing else was working. The phone is not rooted, but it did have water damage over a month ago. I put the phone into DampRid for a few nights and my phone was back to normal. I have not encountered any other problems since then, and now my phone will not boot. Any suggestions? Anything I can do?

The only thin that comes to my mind is to change the wall charger or the USB itself and see if they're broken or whatever else....

I tried that and the charger works on other devices. The power outlet is working, and 3 other Micro-USB chargers aren't working on the phone.

Leave it plugged in for at least a day. I've seen all sorts of batteries magically come back to life after being fully discharged

Your pins connection may be broken and they only get energy when the charger is plugged in a particular way, I don't know what to think about...

I decided to put the phone back into the DampRid to see if there was any excess that was left inside of the phone. I pulled it out just before and and saw that I left a little bit in there so I'll leave it in there for a few days. Then, I'm going to try plugging the charger in in different ways and see what happens. Im also gonna try plugging it in for a whole day and see what happens.

UPDATE: It works! I put it in some DampRid for a day and it seemed to do the trick. I plugged in my phone, saw the red LED light come on, and now it is working.

I would suggest waiting for a day or two. Let your device cool down and take it out of it's case if it has one. My HTC One was fine after I let it take a break for a day. I put it in DampRid, but letting it cool down for a day really helped. Letting your battery die is something you should NEVER do because it just happened again to me. I'm going to let it rest for a day and let you know what happens. Hopefully it works.
Hi.
My white Atrix HD is dead. It does not power and does not give any sign of life.
Phone was working perfectly, then it froze and after that it shuted down... never coming back. Was running stock.
First I thought it was the battery, but checking it with a voltmeter it shouws around 4Volts so it's OK for at least power the phone, I also recharged the battery separatly with an external charger...
Phone is still not powering. I tried every key comination to no avail.
If I plug it to my PC with the battery connected the green led appears for a while, then it goes off...
If I connect the phone to my PC with out the battery, then the green led stay lit forever...
What do you think it could be? Battery is dead? (It does supply voltage but you never know...)
Maybe a burned fuse on the motherboard?
Any help pinpointing the cause of the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Good luck!
Did you try to replace with other battery ?

Try this. While plugged into a power source, hold all 3 buttons on the right side. Once the light turns off, unplug the phone and hold the power button (top of the 3). Once it gets to the boot animation, you can plug it back in. Or you can just check the battery level and make sure it's not something wrong with the screen by doing what I said but never unplugging it.

Nothing... It's just dead. I think it might be the battery but first of of all it does give voltage and second i don't have other battery to test it. I could use another's phone battery but don know if that would work.
If ur adventurous enough to open up the phone like u would open up to do the EB40 battery mod, try to disconnect the battery completely by un-screwing the battery from the terminal for 30 seconds. Then connect back and try to power up. What you described happened to me once when I was doing the mod and it worked like a charm.
Good luck!
