I had a similar issue, except it didn't appear to power on with or with the sd card.
This got me through those tough times: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
I ordered a new Nook before realizing it wasn't really off, the screen just wasn't coming on.
Basically, you need to start over.
was in the process of doing that thread when i got to the part to power on nook and its that part that im kinda stuck at. im not even getting a back lit screen im getting nothing. but if i take out the sd card it powers on fine just wont boot up
so i used a different sd card and it booted up and finished the restore process
edit: still wont power on with SD card.. card bad?

I tried to go back to stock from CM7. I have all my back ups on my SD card. I totally messed it up! I can't even turn on my nook. It only goes to where it says android with the blinking cursor on the bottom left. What can I do???? How do I boot up from the SD card?

Have you tried this eight times so that it has been interrupted that many times and then will reflash the factory OS?
I don't know what you mean...
Can you get to recovery (hold N as it Boots)
If not check out this:

I've heard about how it's pretty much impossible to brick the nook... Mine seems about as useful as a brick though. I was trying to set up a dual boot following these instructions. Basically, I had HC installed to the internal memory. backed it up, formatted system and data, then flashed update-nc-stock-1.2. CWM said that was successful. Then I rebooted with my CWM SD card out. Screen said "read forever" or whatever, then went blank. I waited for about 5 minutes, and pressed the power button. The screen went from an 'on' blank to an 'off' blank. Since then, I haven't been able to get it to turn on at all. Just an 'off' blank screen with no signs of life, even with charger cable connected. Tried it with CWM SD in and out. None of the buttons seem to do anything...
Thanks in advance!!
I'm pretty new to the Nook having just got it today, but I did some reading prior to attempting anything to see how easily I could back out if I had to.
Have you tried basically starting over (ie. Let go of the multi-boot dream for a bit and get back to basics)
You know, take a SD card, use diskimager to put the clockwork 3.0.2.8 image on it with the CM7 full ROM and boot to that, then format system, data and cache with clockwork and finally install the CM7 zip image (and gapps I guess) just to get going again.
If it all works, maybe take another run at whatever you are trying to do with the multi-boot stuff.
Thanks for the reply.
Sounds awesome; problem is I can't get the thing to do ANYTHING. boot period, into recovery or otherwise. I plug it in and it displays nothing - no 'wait 15 minutes and try again'. Just a black screen no matter what I do. I have an SD card with recovery on it, and i've tried making it do something with or without the SD card. No luck.
Good luck with your nook; I had really been enjoying mine.
So holding the power button for 10-15 seconds doesn't do anything?
Or when you plug in the power does it try to boot?
I mean in a complete worst case scenario you could grab yourself a T5 and open it up, disconnect the battery, and then reconnect it.
Then something is wrong with your Recovery SD card, as no matter what, hardware dictates that it reads the sd card first. The problem with what you did through dual boot methods is you resized partitions. So even if you do back out of all of this, you're going to be losing space unless you setup dual boot.
Recreate the CWM recovery card, either redownload the image and reburn it. Find a different one or something else, because it should load on startup.
Thanks for the help!
Reformatted SD again, then tried powering up with the power cord unplugged. Apparently it won't boot into recovery as long as the power cable is in, and whatever the boot was on EMMC was messed up. Happily running stock 1.2 now, next step, dual boot with HC!
Anyone know how I can delete this thread as it's pretty unnecessary?
I setup my memory card through WinImage to install size agnostic 1.3. I put CM7 Nightly #177 on my Boot partition of memory card and then put memory card in Nook and it installed and shutdown when completed. I turn on my Nook and it begins with the Read Forever Logo and boots off emmc... It doesn't even try to boot of the Memory card.... I noticed this after I updated my stock Nook on the emmc to B&N 1.3??? Any Ideas why my nook wont boot up Cyanogenmod boot able card? Before B&N 1.3 I would see the Cyanogenmod Logo and I could hold the home key to boot up the boot menu and select either memory card or Stock... But I can't get it too from the memory card? Any Ideas?
Thanks In Advance,
Jer
Any Ideas or Suggestions... What if I copied the u-boot.bin from the boot of the sdcard to the emmc... maybe then I could get it to boot into the cyanogenmod boot and choose the sd to boot.... I don't understand it booted up on the sd card to install the nightly(for the first time that is) and then it just doesn't boot again... it just goes directly to the stock... I know the memory slot works because I used a different memory card and it installed the nightly.... I even tried a different nightly and it install just fine but it wont boot from the memory card again.???
Power the NC off, remove the uSD, insert it back in the NC again, power on.
Try a couple times.
If still having problem, do a fresh clean install again.
Tried what you said... it still shows "Read Forever" instantly after turning it on... no cyanogenmod logo... so it is obviously not even trying to load the SD card. When you say fresh clean install, on what do I do it on... A new memory card and install the latest nightly or Factory reset on stock nook?

Press and hold the N button, then press the power button. Hold them until the green Cyangenmod logo shows AND "booting into recovery" shows up. Then release both.
It will explode CM7 the display will dim (around a 1 minute).
Watch the backlight and when it goes off, reboot the same way. It will flash the green Cyangenmod and the display will go back off (normal.)
Reboot again the same way and then instant you see the green Cyanogenmod logo release both buttons and let it boot up. It will take about 30 seconds for the CMy guy to show up and about a minute total to get to the main screen.
The problem still remains... I don't get to see the Cyanogenmod Logo... It shows the Read Forever logo and boots into Nook stock??? Its like I don't have a memory card in there.... When In stock nook it show the memory card logo in the bottom left and I can click on it it displays the files on it ... u-boot.bin file and all the others.... I just don't understand why it wont boot when turned on.
I wonder if it has anything to do with that I had Clockwork Mod on my emmc and I used the Clockwork Mod remover to get it back to stock recovery??? Maybe this messed up the boot sequence??? It s weird though when I put Cynogenmod on the memorycard the first time... it boots up the card correctly and begins the Linux Penguin install... So obvious it boots from the memory card.... I don't know what to do.
Help!!!
Just curious, but did you try to read the card in the card reader?
If you wrote it in Windows, you might have to check via disk management that a boot partition was made.
winimage sucks. Many, including myself, have had the same issue. Use win32diskimager instead. That's what worked for me.
Thank you Thank you
Win32Diskimager was the key... and too easy to use.... Thank you so much.... It took so long to find out the answer... Thanks to all that tried to help!!!
After several agonizing hours of writing image, formatting, reading, and panicking, I have finally installed CM7 via verygreen's method.
Thanks for the tip about win32diskimager. this made all the difference!

Check your stock Nook. Did you end up with Clockwork Recovery on it?
how do i check?
as far as i know, there wasnt a CWM on verygreen's method, was there?
When I wrote the image using WinImage, the NC always booted up stock. nothing out of the ordinary.
When I wrote it with Win32, it immediately loaded the installer.
but now after turning the device off, taking out the sd, booting stock, and powering off to put the sd card in, cm7 can't seem to get a wifi connection... hope to find the answer soon
Hey,
I just read these threads to root my nook:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071855&highlight=nookmanager+loading+
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040351
My NookSimpleTouch has the latest firmware from B&N.
Using dd I put NookManager on the microSD, turned off the Nook, inserted the card, and turned it on again.
The Nook is stuck at the startup screen saying 'NookManager Loading...' already for 20 minutes.
So I flipped the MicroSD card out, turned the Nook of. Made sure it still boots into NookOS and then repeated steps above with a new and freshly downloaded NookManager Image.
But also this second time I can;t get past the screen 'NookManager Loading...'.
The screen flashes every 20 seconds or so. But other then that no sign of live or progress.
Any tips?
Thnx!

Don't mess around with a factory reset. NookManager runs entirely off of the SD card and should always boot to the start screen no matter what.
I suggest trying a different SD card.
I have the same problem. Bought a second SD card, same problem.
Having the same problem on a 1.2.1
So I bought a Poco m3 because it has nice specs and storage could be up to 512gb thru microsd. Now i put a 512gb sdcard on it and formatted it. Suddenly, the phone rebooted by itself and shows the poco logo for so long. It hasnt showed it's home screen yet and still stucked to its "rebooting" phase. I am worried as hell if this is normal and just wait foe it or there is something wrong going on and i have to remove the sdcard immediately. HELP ME PLEASE! I DONT WANT TO BREAK IT IT IS SO NEW
Well I mean, you could try removing it and force restart (pressing power button for > 5sec) to see if it has anything to do with it.
If it does reboot normally after this, try putting the SD card again to see. If it happens again, then you have a problem with your SD card, consider using another one (or 256go just-in-case).
I wouldn't worry much about "breaking it", the very worst scenario would be a boot-loop that you can fix using a computer. Inserting a corrupted SD card shouldn't "break" it.
