Try plugging it into a different charger and see if it powers on, or into a computer and see if it is recognized and just acting weird.
Try holding power and volume down and maybe itll go into the boot loader... if not might have to take it back
Check this post. May help.

Not really actually. I helped my friend with hardware issues..he had to send his 7 in so we used wug fresh toolkit to flash stock and unroot then OEM lock the boot loader... google/Asus had no idea. I have also heard that if its bad enough shape(like won't EVER turn on) then they don't know I assume they somehow get the boot loader back on there and just reflash firmware.

Charge it for 2 hours then boot it up by holding the power button down for exactly 30 seconds.

I dropped me Epic today and cant get it to power on. I took it to the sprint repair shop and some how they can power it up and I'm not sure how they do it? I need to power it on so I can fix the problem. I am running Anonymous rom i3 so it has a funny problem when powered down and plugged in....kinda freezes on charging screen. I also cant boot into recovery and cant get into download mode. The sprint store was able to power it on twice but wont help anymore because I voided warranty by changing software lol. I need to figure out if there is an alternate way to power on besides the power button? Keyboard maybe? Any input would be helpful!
Turn off, the power button + 1 key on the keyboard.

Also u should look into the jig or what ever is called it just plugs in to ur USB port and it jumps it into download mode. Ill look for a video for u. Give me a second.

She thinks it's your battery. Especially since it won't charge when your phone is off. She said if you go to the store with just the battery and tell it's only lasting an hour or two they should give you a new one without much trouble. That's the only way to make sure.

If all else fails I will try. The not charging thing I believe is a common bug on Anonymous i3 rom?
Just recently I have had the exact same problem. I am getting ready to bring it to Sprint tomorrow. I have reloaded factory EC05 on it to make sure it wasn't a software problem and it still happens. Here is how I am able to currently power up my phone.
With the power completely down and the battery out, plug your phone in (either AC or USB, doesn't matter).
Press the power button once. The empty battery icon will appear for a few seconds then disappear.
Press the power button again. While the empty battery icon is shown, plug in the battery. It should recognize the battery, at which point you should be able to hold in the power button for a second to get it to turn on.
That is how I can get mine to work. By any chance, do you use an extended battery? This problem started for me about 2-3 weeks after I started using an extended battery.
I have a case on my Nexus 7 that uses the four sensors on the side to turn the screen on and off. I was using the tablet just fine, then I close the case like normal, and upon opening it, it would not turn on. The only way to get a response from the device is by plugging it in and the screen just lights up black. Any type of power reset using the button combinations result in the screen shown in the video at the end of the post.

Sorry I can't post the link. I don't have 10 posts yet.
Solution: I removed the back cover and disconnected and reconnected the battery.

Not that I can recall. The tablet is purely my Portable Netflix/Evernote slave. I've left it on the wall charger for 24 hours, and on a usb port charger for 24 hours, to see if that helps but that won't do anything.

If you don't have anything important saved, you might to just try and wipe everything and start fresh. Are you rooted?

I have nothing that I would need to save, and how would I accomplish the wipe? I've never done it with an ASUS device before.

Check the stickies in the dev section, they will show you how to root/unroot and flash back to stock. You can likely just use the updated nexus 7 toolkit.

All of the options are saying it needs to be in ADB or in Android. I can't get it to show any of those screens to verify I'm in that mode.

I got it fixed. I ended up just removing the back and disconnecting the battery to force a power off. Thanks for your help though that tool will come in handy later

Good deal!
There have been a couple threads where folks reported similarly-behaving screens. "sparkles", "static", "like an old tv screen", et cetera. I think at least several of them were similarly traced to battery charge issues or loose terminals on the battery connector.
Maybe add "[SOLVED]" to your thread title and it will help future visitors with the same issue.

Hi guys, i have a problem with my 2 month old Nexus 4, is currently on CM10.1 Nightly (of Today), Unlocked Bootloader and TWRP Recovery.
I'm trying to charge my phone to the AC (and also via USB) with no result. The screen is not showing the battery level and the phone is not responding. There are some possible solution? Just like going to fastboot mode for lock the bootloader and then ask a RMA?.
Thanks in Advance

First thing you should probably do is let charge up then see what works and what doesn't......then the help can come
Its been plugged in for about 8 hours. The phone gets a little warm so I thinks its charging but I can't tell. The screen was working yesterday so I don't think the LCD is broken. Plugging it into the computer gets no reaction.

Fix the power button
You could attempt just plugging it in and unplugging it a bunch, I have had some phones in the past that this works for, but if you are rooted I know at least one version of twrp recovery caused my phone to power on when plugged in and it would boot to recovery, from there you could just boot to os. Of course you would still need to get it to power on at least once first, so my guess is you need to fix the power button

open phone, remove the power button board(its connected to the mobo with 2 golden pins, they just contact with mobo, so you can just lift away), and do a little short on 2 golden contacts on the mobo till phone turns on
