I heard holding the trackball and power puts it into blue light mode but mine boots fine. The led is just blue constantly. When I charge it it turns purple because it just mixes the red charging light in. Any Ideas?
I'm thinking it's a hardware thing. Re flashed and nothing.
Seems I cannot find any other people asking this question
Basically I have Nook HD+ rooted and CM10.1 and it works great. I have google market on there and the original Nook OS has been sent to the nether region of hell where it belongs. So it's a pretty decent basic android tablet.
But when I let the battery go to zero and it shuts itself down, it seems that it doesn't turn back on so easily.
I'll charge it overnight and then attempt to power it on, but it doesn't do anything. I see the screen backlight come on but no "nook" logo.
So then I try plugging it back in and hold power and the "n" for 10 secs or so. I'll see the screen turn off.. I'll do that a few more times and finally I see the dead battery logo show up..even tho I charged it all night.
So then I let it charge a bit longer and try again with it still plugged in and finally it turns on.
I was just wondering if others saw this and if there was some proper method I should be using to restart it to avoid this.
Yeah, my nook was doing that same thing for a while. Now though, I let the battery die and I can't get the thing to turn on at all. No backlight lights up, no battery charge icon, the thing's led just glows green for 2 secs then flickers to orange and stays orange for a few secs and then the led turns off. No matter how long I hold the power button or the power plus nook button, nothing happens. I hope my tablet isn't dead forever. Anybody else have this problem and find a way of fixing it?

I also forget to charge mine and it got discharged. I charged it for a bit but couldn't power on. When I plugged the power cable it showed orange light. After changing the power socket and repeatedly press power button for like 7 secs it turned on with 28%. I'm Using CM10.2.

Just keep trying.. i noticed my backlight was so dim that i wasn't sure it was on either until i turned off all lights... then after holding power for like 12 secs i saw it go even darker so I know my backlight was on now.. but like you said.. no logo. Just extrem0 said.. you gotta keep playing with it, unplug it, plug it in again, etc.. it's really hokey. I've been sure to keep it charged up since my last post so I am just avoiding the problem. But it is stopping me from recommending a modded nook to my friends and family because the first time this happens they will come crying to me to help them.

I also have this problem on my Nook HD+. I don't think there is a solution for it, so I'm going for a warranty.
However, before you go for a warranty; flash the stock ROM back on. You're probably think how do I do this with no battery? Well, once your Nook boots up, your tablet will not charge at all. So, we need to charge your Nook whilst it's powered off. Again, how do I go about this? Well, turn on your Nook charger from the wall socket, but do not plug it into your Nook yet. Now, hold the power button on your Nook (ensure that your have no battery at all, and that your Nook does nothing when you hold the power button). Whilst holding the power button on your Nook, plug in your charger. It should turn green, then turn orange. It should stay like this for a while.
Give it a couple of hours, and it should charge up to around ~60% (you may be lucky if it charges more). With that much battery, put the Stock ROM back on and go for a warranty. Don't rely on this method for too long, as with time it will also stop charging with this method. At the moment, it will not charge when the Nook is turned on. Go for a warranty whilst you still can.
All the best.

Left kindle fire HD 7" (rooted) on my dresser for 3 months without playing with it, and the battery went dead. Plugged it in and the power light turns green it turns on for a micro second with the yellow triangle with a flame in it. and then shuts back off. and then turns back on for a second and back off. screen actually turns off in between.
The reason I wonder if this is not a boot loop is because in my experiencing there is no shutting off of the device on a bootloop. That may not be true. Also the thing wont turn on at all if not plugged in to the wall.

Ok I figured it out. It was the charger. Standard Kindle charger, but I put the same Kindle on my HTC ONE charger and it booted up fine.
So, to answer my own question. I was not boot loop, the kindle fire was just turning on and shutting off repeatedly.
Rooted my Nook HD and installed CM using e.mote's method. Worked a treat, thought the battery was acting oddly - it always thought it had far less battery than it actually did - plugging it in at 1% it would shoot right back to up 30-60%. Yesterday I went to start it and it was powered off. Plugged it in, came back a while later and it wouldn't turn on. The light next to the charger plug was flashing red and the screen showed an "overheating" icon. I tried a few things like holding the power button/power and nook buttons for 30 secs. Now it doesn't show any color, when I try turn it on it goes green, then after a few seconds orange, then flashes red for a few seconds, then the color disappears again.
I've looked around and the suggestion is the battery needs resetting or replacing.
Assuming having it rooted with CM installed means my warranty is invalidated, what happens if I return it for repair?
EDIT: Just took out the SD card and it went back to showing the overheating icon again. Took out the power cable and replaced it, now it's flashing orange. This thing's gone nuts.
My sons HD+ is having an issue charging. I've searched and found a lot of info on charging issues but nothing like what this one is doing. When I plug the nook in the charge light is green and then turns orange and then goes out completely. It won't turn on through any of this. Pushing the power button after the light has gone off repeats the light sequence. I'm running PAC man ROM. Any ideas?
Which side of USB cable are you plugging and unplugging? Try doing this in the other side while keeping the first connected.

Two thoughts:
Does the battery indicator show the battery percentage increasing normally while plugged in and no light? (Take that all in)
If you completely power off the nook (power button menu -> power off) and then plug it in, does it still do the same thing. If it works normally, its possibly or probably the rom. If not then it gets, more complicated to diagnose like trying a different charging cable (money or bn warranty).
