What can I do to fix this? (only powers on when plugged into charger)

Long story short after not using my Universal for a while it now has this issue:
Only turns on when plugged into charger
Immediately shuts off when unplugged
When plugged into charger, red charger light is not lit
When plugged into USB, charging light flashes quickly and unit does not power on
I hard reset and no change
Under Settings>Power it shows Main Battery: Unknown
What can I do?
buy a new battery?
Ya that's, of course, what I figured. just making sure this was not a known issue of some sort.
...if the battery I ordered doesn't fix it I'm coming after you for the $2.60 it cost me.
uuu...me so scared
Cheers!
99% it is a battery issue...

[Q] Questions about charging tablet

HI I have a few questions. Anybody know the full time to charge the tablet to 100% capacity? Also I know the amber light means charging, and it turns off when complete. However has anyone else noticed that when it turns off if you press the power button briefly one time it stays lit white. Unplug the charger the light goes off but plug it in and light stays white. Is that normal? Is this a trickle charge mode or something?
Thanks
btw tablet is powered off when charging and not in sleep mode
When mine is done charging, the lite goes white and stays white till I unplug the charger. This is with the a500 turned off and charging though.
See my tablets light is orange when charging and goes out when done, battery is at 100%. I press it once while still pluged in it turns on to white. is the IC charging chip that regulates charging on my tablet out?

Nook doesn't charge unless I reboot

I've come across a problem using Rack's dualboot CM9. If the Nook Color's been running and the battery has run down, connecting plugging in the stock cable + charger results in a green light on the cable and the Nook not charging. After playing around for a bit I figured out that if I reboot it or keep the Nook off it will charge fine. If I reboot and charge, however, the battery percent indicator does not update until after I unplug the charger. If I try to charge it again after unplugging, the light stays green and refuses to charge as before, even though the battery is not at 100%.
I wanted to rule out this being a problem with the charger first, and it seems that way to me but my knowledge about the inner workings of the Nook are limited. Any help is appreciated!
I have the same problem yesterday, and I just rebooted and work well now, don't know what's wrong with it.

Crash and red led with car charger

Today my phone chrashed twice when starting navigation while on the car charger. Screen went black, battery charging icon appeared, red led showed. A second attempt gave the same result. I also noticed the LED shining red... was rather afraid. And decided to restart without the charger, start navigation, and no crash.
After unplugging the charger, the screen stayed on the battery icon for a while. I could reboot the phone with the power button.
It woked okay a few times before but maybe the battery charge state was different, or I started navigation before plugging the charger in.
So, I won't use that charger (Samsung CAD300UBE rated at 5V 700mA) again. But why would it crash? The phone running on just charger power (which is insufficient) and crashing - perhaps to prevent damaging the battery with shallow charge cycles? I estimate the charge left when this happened at 80%.
So be careful which charger you use. Does anyone have a similar experience?
Im having same issue, but my phone wont boot up.
Any fix?

blinking red light..

I was playing some games.. phone crashed. Now when i plug in the power the LED just flashes RED. Can't boot. I can still get into the bootloader but thats it.
I am rooted, unlocked, etc... am ****ting my pants right now. Any tips guys. Searched around the threads not sure what to do ? Maybe restore and RMA...:crying::crying:
actually now i cant even access fastboot... it shows for a split second and crashes out to blinking red LED
plug it in the wall, keep it ther for 10 minutes or so, then try to turn it on again.
This happens when your battery is literally out of charge.
Let it charge, the phone's entered the trickle charge mode because the battery is low. It may not recover and if it doesn't it means the battery is having an issue. From my reading of red light issues the solutions have been: let it charge because the battery is to low, it shorted so unplug and replug the battery, or to rma it cause the battery died.
Sorry guys skipped a boatload of details.... yeah the phone is charged...
I was playing games off the wall charger, believe me it has plenty of power. The light is blinking red can't do anything, no power up.
Either RMA or take the phone apart, disconnect the battery wires and reconnect them. There should be a guide somewhere, just look blinking red light of death.
Yup, blinking red led is a trickle charge mode.
Maybe the wall charger did not have enough power. Or the phone decided to discharge anyway.
What I am wondering about: if the phone gets back to life, is it empty or full (as in: switch it on without charging and see if it shuts off quickly).
Potential ways to handle this:
- wireless charger. The wireless charger does not pass through the 'red led' circuit but charges the battery directly.
- leave on trickle charge for a day. To trickle charge, that is supposed to be a slow process I think. Maybe someone can measure the current when it happens.
- unplug and replug the battery. This may reset the charge circuit or something.
- hold the power button down for 10 seconds. This will electronically disconnect the battery (but I do not know if it is a place that makes a difference).
