Help needed nook hd plus seems to be bricked - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My nook hd plus seems to be bricked.
My tablet is unable to power on, and even when connected to the USB charger it only have the green light and it does not turn orange even after a day of charging.
It does not seems to be a dead battery as I had charged it externally.
The tablet would become hot when I reconnect my battery to the tablet.
My tablet might had bricked as I tried to speed by installing ram manager, and my tablet was stuck when it was booting up.
After switching my tablet off, it is unable to be turn on.
What can I do to make it boot?

Green is fully charged and orange is when charging so it will not turn orange as long as it is plugged in. Try holding the power button 30 seconds wait 10 seconds and then hold it for 3 more does it turn on then?

This is a long shot. Try holding the power and "n" buttons for three to five minutes. If/when you see the backlight come on, continue to hold both buttons until the backlight goes off again. Then try to power it on normally by pressing just the power switch. What this is supposed to do is trigger the watchdog timer.

[Q][Solved] Htc One does not respond after charging over night

When I disconnected my phone from the charger this morning the LED did not shut down. The phone does not respond, now several hours later the green LED still is on (solid green). the buttons on the screen is lit but the screen is black. If I press and hold the power button the buttons on the screen starts to blink after a few second, but nothing happends. The same if I try to do a hard reset by pressing vol-down and pwr button. Nothin except the blinking from the buttons on screen. If I try to connect the phone to a computer nothing happends, the computer does not find the phone. If I try to call the phone notheing happends....the phone was turned on when connected to the charger.
Any idéas?
Problem solved, after2,5 hours the LED shut down and I was able to reboot the phone.
If you keep the power button held down for 10 to 15 seconds it will power off, because you can't pull the battery in this device HTC built in a power down feature to the power button

[Q] charging problem save me!

Battery on my nook hd+ wont charge I am using stock system and every time I try to charge it , indicator lights turns red for a few sec and then goes green immediately.
how to solve this once for all? I have tried to unplug and plug back in for many times until the light does'nt change in color..is there a better way!!!!!!
i have the same problem,
I've seen similar behavior. While plugged in, hold the power button down 10 seconds. That's will affirmatively turn it off. Wait a few minutes then try turning on the nook, you will have to hold the power button for a couple of seconds to get it to boot. If your battery is very low, you may have to let it charge for awhile first. Just keep trying periodically and it should come back on.

[Q] Power on with CM10 tricky from dead battery?

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.

Endless boot cycle, don't know if it's power or OS issue

I looked in the previous threads about non-booting but no one I could find had my issue. Bought the Nook HD+ about 4 months ago and rooted it and installed Android (not sure which version but cm11). Out of the blue, last week I pulled it out of my bag and the battery % was flipping between 1% and 31%, so I put some stuff on it via USB and then shut it down to charge. I plugged it in overnight and tried turning it on in the morning. All I was getting was the low battery picture, so I kept trying to charge it, but it wasn't charging, the power light would go to orange when I plugged it in, thena fter 3-5 seconds it would flip green and then turn off and retry. My assumption is the battery is dead, but it could be a corrupted OS now as I got it to charge long enough to get to the CM11 boot menu. But I even went out and bought a new charger and converter to rule that out and it still is stuck in the same boot sequence. I obviously can NOT charge this thing while it is off because of it's reboot loop, it can't charge. I'm not quite sure what is going on or whether it is a battery or boot issue but after I leave it for a big it freezes on the cyan picture (which is frozen on some scrambled version of it) until I turn it off.
I can't power it on enough to charge it to rule out the battery, I tried holding the power and n button for 3 seconds, letting go of the power, and then pressing it again to get into the recovery menu, but that isn't working either. And I prepared another SD card for a second flash for a corrupted OS and that didn't seem to work either.
I'm stuck here and I'm not sure what to do now to get it running again. I don't care about the data on my tablet at the moment.
Try plugging it into a PC USB port over night.

That's what I did that got it charged enough to get to try to boot, where it now shuts down. But now as it tries to boot it reboots, maybe from too much power consumption? I only had it plugged in for half hour or hour before that got it charged to the point where it boots to the logo screen. I have a feeling it is not charging because every reboot the light turns off (orange light stays on for like 5 seconds)
I will plug it in to my PC and charge it overnight and let you know what happens. It's interesting, I plug it in now and the orange charge light comes on, shows the Nook screen, then shows the low battery screen and shuts off, then the orange light turns off, but it remains plugged in... not sure if it is still charging but as I said, I will leave it overnight and see what that gets me.
No success. I can turn it on and the charging lights turns on for 5 seconds and shows the nook screen, then goes black and shows the low battery screen, then immediately shuts off and the charging light turns off and it no longer charges.
Any other suggestions? I can't seem to do anything with the Nook now.

[Q] Nook HD+ won't turn on, tried everything

I was using my Nook HD+, when the screen suddenly showed lines all across it and froze. I had to push down the power button for 8 seconds to shut it down. Then could not turn it on. Tried all possible combinations, power, power+n, power+n+volume up keys for 5 seconds and for 30 seconds each time. Still not turning on. I tried plugging it in (although it had about 40% charge left before the screen froze) and noticed that the charging indicator glows green. If I push down the power button for 8 seconds, the light goes off, but if i press the button again, it comes back on. I've tried all the methods I saw on internet, except for draining the battery because the post suggested keeping it in a fridge, which I'm hesitant and also not in a position to do. Please help guys. I'm at a total loss.

Have you tried unplugging the battery from the MB wait 30 secs then plug it back in and charge it .(you have to remove the rear cover of course) I have had this issue with 3 HD+ units and it worked everytime.
