My DX is not turning on. The battery died and so the phone cut off and when I plug the charger in nothing happens and it won't turn on when the charger is plugged in. I have tried everything I can think of - pulled the battery and put it back in, held the power button down, held the power button and home row keys down, held the power button and camera keys, and I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help?
Take out the battery and hook it up to the wall charger. You should see a battery with a question mark. Then insert the battery and see if it recognizes the battery.
I just took the battery out and left it out for like 15 min and then put in back in and it worked. Thanks for your reply however, I really appreciate it!
phones won't start with a dead battery.. don't forget to charge -_-

I turned my DX off for a few minutes and now I am unable to turn it back on. I hold the power button and the screen remains black, no M logo no boot, no green LED light, no activity of any kind, just a black screen.
Battery was at 100% when I turned it off ( 20 minutes ago)
GB leak rooted working fine
Tried: Pulling battery, holding power and home buttons then the camera, volume down and power buttons with no response of any kind.
Please help.
Hold down both volume keys power and home key until you see a brief flash, then let go, can you get the bootloader screen to show up? Have you pulled the battery?
It did not work.
I pulled the battery and left out for a few minutes with no results.
I also remember that before this thing happened when I pulled the battery and plug in the wall charger the screen would show a battery icon with a question mark, now I got nothing but the black screen.
The only response that I have noticed when trying your tip is that without the battery when i plug in the charger the green led blinks once.
I am starting to feel that this is hardware related.
Keep the battery out. Plug in the WALL charger, not through USB. (yes, I know it's a USB cable that goes into a converter to use an electrical outlet; the point is, hook it up to an actual electrical outlet)
If you don't get the big battery indicator for charging coming on the screen, hit power once. Still not, hold power down a solid 5 seconds. If still no go, then you have a hardware problem. Also, try using a different USB cable just in case if this doesn't work.

I just tried your instructions by the letter and on top of that I also used a straight (non USB) charger. No response.
I have a dead fish that is going back to the store.
thanks for your help
Hello all,
Last night I decided that I should calibrate my battery. So from what I've read, fully discharge and then fully recharge with the power off. I also remember something about going to efforts to fully drain the battery to really get it flat before charging is somehow better for its full and empty measuring.
So I had an idea. I put the LED torch on when it was only a few percent of battery left AND it was recharging. That way the LED torch ate power faster than it could recharge so it discharged quickly, but not so fast that it might get a chance to go into power shut down a little early.
Not sure if that made sense, but it made sense to me at 2am while I was watching Sherlock Holmes in bed...
Well after it died I pulled the power cable out for a couple of minutes and then back in to recharge it while its completely switched off.
But this morning it wont start back up
I don't have a spare battery to use to see if I've killed the battery. Anyone have ideas on what I can do to revive it?
Hi,
Press the volume up, menu and power button for about ten seconds,
Or you can just charge your phone, for about 6 hours, then unplug and power on, I'm sure your phone is ok, on other phones the answer was press camera button and power, fixed it every time.

Thanks for the tips on the key combo. Didn't bring it back so now its on charge again for the next 6 hours. I agree with you that it SHOULD work... and hopefully it will!
I also saw mention somewhere of a device that you put into the micro USB port that hardware puts the device into "download mode". I think they might have been used in the very early days to root the devices.
I wonder if I should track one of these down and order it...
I've used Odin to awaken my sleepy note. Its now charging once again
So I guess my idea to flatten the battery worked... and flatten my head where yesterday I had hair!
Rocket V16 and LA1 modem here I come... tomorrow after charging that is...
Ok my n10 is rooted and romed with CARBON rom, no problems nothing, but today I had an email come in I looked at it set It down left the screen on a second later it just died. so I plugged it in back on it comes. later same thing almost dead checked new email, set it down screen on then death.....plugged it in again, now nothing except a flashing battery charging symbol. been charging for 10 min. tried power, power volume down, nothing....got a different cable...nothing.....my computer wont pick it up either. what do I do?????
PLEASE HELP!!!
I just had this same problem with mine; because of the strange battery issue where my battery would read 90% when it was actually empty and slow charging once it was plugged in... The resolution for me was to plug it into the charger for 5 minutes and not touch it and then try a power on.

Thanks Ill give it a go!!
Plug it in to the wall charger, not a computer. Let it sit for 30 minutes and then hold all buttons down at the same time. This should let the tablet boot now and will bring you into fastboot mode. It defaults to "Start" so just hit the power button and the tablet will boot like normal. Once you verify the tablet will boot fine, shut it down and leave it plugged into the wall charger until the tablet is charged all the way.
Dont know if it is a coincidence or not but this is the 3rd time I have heard the same story and all people were using the Carbon ROM.
Thanks guys for the feedback, definitely will be switching roms and buy the pogo charger!

I have been enjoying my Nexus 10 for about 3 months now and it has been great!!!
Last night after some gaming and surfing the battery was at about 1/4. I had plugged it in the night before and it was about 95% charged in the morning after similar usage, so this time I decided to turn it off and charge as apposed to letting it sleep.
Well this morning no love it just does nothing. I can plug it in and the battery icon will come on when I hit the power button but that it. I have done 30 sec power button, Tried power with VOL + and -, Power and just +, Power and just -, But still nothing!!!
What to do???
Thanks for any input you guys can provide...
OK I fixed it!!!
It was a very odd issue.
I noticed that when it was plugged in and I hit the power button for about 5 sec a battery with lightning bolt icon would appear on the screen. Just out of curiosity and trying every other damn thing I held the power button until said battery icon appeared and quickly unplugged the power from the USB port. This caused the battery icon to stay on for like 10 sec and then it did the quick buzz. Woohoo I was in luck!!! I plugged it back in and hit the power button and it fired up.
What was unexpected was that the battery was completely flat! 0%
I had it plugged in all night and it was in this state. For some reason it would not take a charge but me pulling the plug at the time the battery icon showed up for some reason got it out of that loop and it started taking a charge.
Anyway hope this helps someone else that has this issue.

Glad you fixed it.
Hi,
I have a nexus 7 2012 and it worked fine and runs CM 12. The other day I powered it off by pressing the power button then clicking the power off option in the power menu. When I turned it back on it didn't boot up and I ended up having to hold the power button for ages. Powered if off again the next day (only use it occasionally) and when I went to turn it back on it didn't boot again. This time though no matter how long I hold the button for or leave it on charge nothing happens.
I've tried everything from trying different charging cables, plugs, plugged it into laptop, pressing power + volume down and even pressing all 3 buttons. I've popped the back off and unplugged then plugged back in the battery. Nothing works there's no sign of life at all, no screen flickers no nothing I'm stumped. Think when I powered it off it was at 15% battery if that makes a difference?
Only conclusion I can come too is that the charging port is broke or the circuit. Sadly I don't have anything I can use to try and charge it using the four pin connector at the side to test it. Only thing I haven't tried is to "jump-start" the battery. Just take out battery and strip a usb cable and plug the power wires directly into the battery for half hour but not to sure whether to do that or not and wanna make sure I have exhausted all other options before trying that.
Any ideas?
