I have a new Motorola Atrix HD. I was using it and the screen went black. i hit the power button to unlock but nothing happened. i plugged it in but nothing happened. i took the back off to see if the battery was disconnected. I didn't know the battery was different than other phones and ripped the power cord connecting the battery to the phone when i took it out. lesson learned. Ordered a new battery and installed correctly. phone won't turn on. The green charge light blinks when i plug it into the wall and then stays on for about 20 seconds and then the phone tries to turn on but while the motorola icon is illuminated, it cuts back out and repeats the cycle. I left it plugged in for a couple hours and still the same thing. i tried holding in power and volume buttons for the boot screen. if i do that just as the phone attempts to turn on i can get the screen up and scroll the list of boot options with the power buttons but i can't select any of them and the phone cuts out after the same amount of time. Everytime. When i plug it into my laptop, the light blinks on and then stays on like with the wall, but the phone doesn't attempt to power up. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. i have read a lot of forums where the battery was acting up because of the chargers people were using. The difference between my situation and those of the people i read about is that my boot screen cuts out and cannot be used. This all happened 2 days after my exchange period ended and because i took the back off myself, best buy won't have anything to do with me so i'm on my own and cannot afford another phone right now. Thanks in advance for your time and concern.

Is it possible that the that connection between the power cord and the phone itself is loose or damaged? I'm just guessing here as I have never opened up the back of my phone.
I would check your battery terminals then leave it to charge if it does. You could also try a factory cable. Another thing would be to try fastboot while connected to your laptop and see if it stays on, and if it does, try reflashing all partitions.

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.
So I took my charger with me to class today because my phone was almost dead. As it was charging I began to fiddle with it ex: go on reddit . Suddenly The phone began to lag and the screen shut off. I unplugged it and began to hold down the power button.... Had it held down for about a minute and still no results. The charging light is stuck green even when off the charger and the navigation buttons are stuck on. When holding down the power button the navigation buttons would also flash as it normally does but im not getting any feedback from the device. Anyone have any solutions? I need my phone to be working asap. If there isnt any hope i may as well upgrade.
Little update: I let the battery die out and plugged it into the charger. After half hour it still wouldn't turn on. Several hours after that I found it on and running. Very strange....
Has anyone else had problems with this particular combination not turning back on? I flashed it several weeks ago, and every time the battery has died (its primary user is a toddler), it's been a hassle to get it to start back up: lots of fiddling with the power cord, power button, N button, leaving it alone, and trying again before it finally turns on. And that's after it'd be plugged in for the whole night.
Last night, I couldn't get it to turn on (even though I was messing with it for half the run time of Guardians of the Galaxy), so I left it plugged in. Usually, it acknowledges a button press by showing the dead battery or charging icon before blacking out again, but now the only thing that happens is the light turns green when I plug it in. No icons, no reaction to button presses.
Anyone know anything?
Did you tried turning it off by holding down the power button for >30sec?

Sorry this response is so late: I never got an email notification that someone had responded to my thread.
But yes, I've tried a ridiculous number of things. And before this, booting up the Nook from a dead battery was a real hassle. It took a solid 10 minutes of trying different power button/N button/boot screen button presses. Even before the battery died, it's been a bizarre, and immensely frustrating, quirk of having CM 12 on my Nook. And the internet seems to be largely resource-free on anything remotely related to this topic.
Hi, near-total novice here, but I've just put CM12 on my Nook HD+ and everything is great except I have the same power down problem. Both Reboot and Power Off result in my Nook rebooting.
Used the tablet before i went to bed last night and when i woke up this morning its dead it wont turn on, charge or anything
Ive tried all the usual button combos but nothing works has anyone else come across this?

Oddly enough, yes. It happens when the tablet discharges too deeply, so try not to let it drop too far.
Plug the tablet in, hold down VOL DN + POWER for at least 10 seconds. It should start booting to the charging screen.
How long did you let it charge?
If the battery was completely depleted charging may take more time. Also, make sure the charger and cable are functional.
Left it charge for a while and about half way up the right hand side as you hold it it gets hot
Tried holding the buttons but nothing happens i will put it back on charge for a while
strange though it had 40% left when i finished using it last night
40% battery left.. was WiFi on? Any apps running?
I'd say, give it some time to recharge. Getting hot while charging is normal.
You still have warranty?
WiFi was on but as far as i know no apps were running
WiFi on. There you go! Bet that caused the drain.
You know, there are some syncing apps that run in the background draining the battery big time.
Suggestion, active Airplane Mode, and deactivate WiFi whenever you don't use it.
Moreover, there's the Mediaserver bug, which scans for media files nonstop.

Been on charge for a couple of hours but still no life
When you power it up pay attention to the navigation buttons.. do they light up?
If so, try to connect the s2 Tab to a computer via USB. Maybe the screen is the issue.
On the other hand, a dead battery can be replaced. Just have to open the back cover..
No the lights dont come on at all
How do you get the back cover off this thing?
Did you try the original charger?
Battery replacement vid,

Yes tried the original charger
Got the back off so will order a new battery its worth a try
Yes, replacing the battery is definitely worth a try.
Fingers crossed that it is just the battery. Batteries are quite inexpensive and not hard to replace.
Please keep us updated on your operation. And good luck.
Will do
Thanks for all your help
Put the new battery in and it fired up but.......
the battery only had about 5% so i put it on charge it comes up on the screen as charging and it gets warm but it doesnt actually charge
so now its dead again
Good news, your original battery is not dead. Bad news, it might be the USB charging port.
Perhaps it's time to consult a pro like Rossmann,
