I'm hoping it's because battery is just low. But it won't start right out of the box. I have had it charging for an hour and when I start it , the google shows up on the screen, then the "X" , then nothing. I held down the power and volume buttons to get into recovery and it booted from there. I was able to set up my gmail etc but it shut off right after. Seems like if I have it plugged into the wall outlet, it should be able to start. :crying:
Probably a defect, where did you buy it from?

- Steps to reproduce the problem.
I have seen a couple of other freeze ups from time to time, rather randomly, in various apps, not just Chrome.
In this case, I clicked the "All Apps" button in the lower right corner, and it froze.
- What happened.
The system froze, and then the screen went black. Now I am completely unable to restart the tablet. I does not matter how long I hold down the power button, either alone or combined with the volume up/down, it remains bricked. While connected to USB, it will show the battery charging icon in the middle of screen every 10 seconds (stays on for ~3 seconds) while I'm holding down the power button.
As of now the tablet is basically dead.
The tablet was running Android 4.2.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Power with volume up and down at the same time til you hit fast boot?

I know this will sound stupid, but are you sure you have battery?
Or try to hold the power button for about 20 seconds until N10 vibrates. That's it.

Keep it plugged in to the wall for a few hours and try again
edit: Emphasis on wall
How good are you with technology?

it may be worth reading this and possibly popping out the battery just to see if that helps.
did you resolve this issue? i just started having it. i know i was running out of battery and then my n10 wouldnt boot past the x screen after a restart. i left it plugged in but i dont know if it was charging. now it won't turn on and i get the same issue you have. i have it charging over night but i dont think it is going to help =(

Thanks for replying but after me thinking it was broken for 2 months it suddenly turned on on its own last night!
Not really sure what was wrong to begin with but when it turned on I had 0% charge for a few hours, really strange.
Same issue for me on 32Gb model.
I had a flicker screen once last week and today it doesn't boot up. I connected it for an hour but all I get is the fully charged battery icon when I press the power button, sometimes with a flicker screen or red/blue/green dots all over the place. It doesn't vibrate, it's not recognized by my Windows 8 computer.
I bought it through the eBay US deals and it sucks cause I'm in Europe...:crying:
Call +18553926398 from Skype. It is a Samsung Nexus Repair Center. From Skype it's free of charge line. I had problem with battery in my nexus 10 32gb. I had to send it to US on my cost. I spend on it (from Poland to the US) about 70euro(by UPS), from the US to Poland about $50 (by DHL). But Nexus came back repaired on warranty and it took about 1 week only. It easy and It worth to try. Important: Samsung Repair Center can send your fixed Nexus only to the US (to the US it's for free), so I used MyUS.com for 'a proxy' to send it to Poland (and this part cost about $50).
Hello. I've had nexus for a few weeks now. Tonight i was surfing the Web and the screen started blinking on and off rapidly. It finally shut off. Now it will not boot. I tryed getting into the bootloader by holding volume up and down and power. I get nothing. If I plug it into the charger... The battery icon comes on the screen but that's it. If my nexus fried? Is there anything else I can do?

Screen blinking rapidly on and off? I'd call Google. I'm sure they would send out a replacement.

Yeah I called them. I they are sending a replacement. I have to pretty much pay for a new one untill they get the old one back.
This really sucks. What could this be?

I've had my nexus freeze while using chrome a few times. All I do is hold the power button until it reboots. Has worked for every time.
The flickering screen does not seem normal. Glad google is giving you a replacement.

I've had the exact same problem as OP. I was browsing in Chrome when the backlight started flickering. Wearing headphones but with no sound, I was able to hear faint static that correlated with the darkness of the screen (when the screen was dim mid-flicker, noise was produced). I had it set to a specific brightness setting, so I switched to automatic using the drop-down settings menu. The problem persisted. I did not exit Chrome. I tapped the power button which gave a normal enough looking fade out. After about 5 seconds I tapped the power button again to power the device on. The Chrome screen I had been looking at when I powered the screen off flashed briefly on my screen accompanied by a bit of static and a slight pop, and the device went black. I have not gotten a response from the device since except for, like OP, when the device is plugged into the wall. Then I only get a battery icon with a lightning bolt for 1 second every time I push the power button.
After calling the warranty information number, Google is sending me a replacement device. They do not make you pay $400 (in my case, as I had the 16Gb) but authorize a payment of that amount so that if you do not return the device within 21 days they are not left high and dry. Seems reasonable to me.
Anyway, just adding my experience with this issue to the forum. OP is not the only one to get this symptom!
I just got this same issue. Was reading my news feeds on Google Reader, it seemingly froze up for a few seconds, then the screen started flickering when touched, and finally went black. Device is non-responsive except when plugged in, where it'll display the battery icon for a few seconds.
I do not know if this is related, but I was also having the charging glitch where it would power down with "0% battery" when plugged in or unplugged seemingly at random, and the long wake-up issue.
Now I am trying to get the device awake enough to be recognized by my pc so i can adb backup my data, but so far I am getting nowhere T.T
I will acknowledge from the get-go that this is probably my fault entirely. I was quite tired and fell asleep but in the mean time, I was doing a nandroid backup of my phone - which at the time was running stock rom and stock kernel. I actually had just done the factory reset on the phone too. But my phone is rooted and has the unlocked bootloader. Anyways, I left it on my table while it was backing up, I saw the progress bar and everything was working fine and dandy but this is when I fell asleep. It was on an ac wall charger overnight and I woke up to find it flashing the red light when plugged in only.
So from looking around, some people have said it is the case where the phone is completely discharged and to have it charging for a while, but I'm not sure if this applies to me since I already had it on charge the whole night? What's my situation here?
In any case, I'll be going out to buy my tools, would it just be the T5 Torx screwdriver?
Edit: When the phone is plugged into any charger the red flashing light is persistent, however I did notice that when I plugged it in via usb and my computer, I first got a glimpse at the white battery charging screen for a moment, then the phone would return back to its red flashing
Anyone?
Just from playing around it more I realized that, ONLY when plugged via usb to my computer, I will get that initial solid red light, then the screen with the battery and lightning bolt.
****I realized that if I held the power button on that battery screen, the phone appears to boot up, and I get the black page with "Google", for a short moment then it shuts off and resumes flashing the red light.
Is it because theres not enough charge to fully boot the phone? I already had it plugged in overnight so this really didn't make sense to me.
And I don't know if it the phone actually charges when I have it plugged in and the red light is flashing.
Take the back off and unplug, replug the battery

Instead of trying to boot the phone up, try to get into recovery. Most people that had this type of issue managed to get into recovery and from there reboot..
If that doesn't work, and you manage to get into the recovery, do your wipes, or flash another rom.
If i were you i'd try all those lil tricks, if nothing works, then i'd be thinking about taking the back plate off and unpluging the battery.

How would I get into recovery? Do you mean by holding the power and volume down? I was sure I tried all other ways of holding the power but the most it will give me is the google screen.

Yes, you said that at the battery screen holding power will get you to the google logo, but if you tried holding power+vol down and it's not working, then i guess u don't have much options here..

Totally new here. got my nexus 7(2012) since nov 2012. This morning, I was chatting with friends and my device suddenly froze for 10 mins. i couldnt wait long so i restarted it by holding the power button. now it won't open even if i did the power + volume keys, nothing appears. even when i plug it in the wall charger or on my pc and laptop. still no charging logo or any indication it was on and my laptop says installing new device but always ends up failing so i cant back up my files from my device. I'm not a techy person so i made absolute no effort to root my device. just chatting and some occasional gaming. Please help can't afford to buy a new device for a long while
*btw its a 32gb nexus 7(2012). not sure if this additional info is helpful or not.
Do you get any sort of screen when you try to turn it on ? I.E. do you see the Google logo for a few seconds? Or do you see nothing?
My guess is with a hardware failure or your battery has come loose. When my battery becomes unplugged, I will see the Google logo and then a bunch of funky colors and it will reboot constantly when plugged in. It dies if unplugged, and It also turns on the second it is plugged in.
So if you suspect the battery, there are videos on YouTube to walk you through popping the back off along with pushing the battery back in. I used black electrical tape to hold my battery in place better once I confirmed that was what my problem was.

I would check to see if the battery connection came loose. Its an easy fix to try and was your tablet overly hot or any bulging?

i am so sorry for not replying. i know its too late now because i was asking this info on another thread. i i already tried removing and reinserting the battery on my device.
the nature of my device is that its all black screen. even when you charge it, theres no charging animation that shows or any backlight. its like its really off without anything plugged.
when i plugged it in the pc under device manager, it says apx mode. kinda depressed cuz i think the device is already dead cuz i cant even do the power button + vol down thingie :crying:.
Try pressing and holding in the power button for a long time, up to a minute.

I've had this thing for ages. Got it right at launch. Still running 4.2.2 I believe. I rooted it and installed a rom ages ago and gave it to my sister and it was fine for well more than two years.
Recently though my sister gave it to me and told me it wouldn't turn on and I for the life of me can't figure out how to get it to charge. I've used severe USB cables and a few power sources including my desktop. While its plugged in I can hold the power button down and see a battery icon with a lightning bolt in the center. But holding the power button and various combinations of volume buttons does nothing. Not sure where to go from here and if this is even fixable at this point.
That symbol indicates that the device is plugged in and HOPEFULLY charging. When I had this problem I just let it left it plugged in to a/c to charge for about one hour before it would power up. This apparently happens when the battery has been run down to zero. At that point, it won't charge the battery and power the tablet at the same time. Good luck.
