I just got it by mail. I plugged it for a hour and the screen started to change

(It was perfect when I got it out of the box).
Is the nook defected or I just need to charge it more?
Btw I use my galaxy s4 wall charger, does it matter?
That seems to be a major issue with the eInk screen. I don't think any amount of charging is going to fix that. I would contact B/N for a warranty replacement.
That's definitely a screen defect. Send it back and get a new one.
Have you tried booting it, might not necessarily be a screen issue, could be that the e-ink somehow got into an intermediate state and just needs to be refreshed.

So.. my heart us a little broken tight now and not quite sure what should be done.
Here's the run down I have the first waves of transformers, rooted was running aokp build 31 before the screen fail.
Its been fully charged it at least I think it has been (can't really tell). At first I thought it was simply the screen not coming out of sleep.
So I had held the power button down for the 11 seconds or whatever it was, and heard the speakers do the power down poppy noise.. but now it will not turn on or boot.
Any ideas on what to do or where I should/could go or send it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Does adb work? Can you get ANY response? Full charged and plugged in?
Hi, sorry for putting out this old thread, but I dont want to open a new one.
Have the same problem. I cannot get in ADB and the TF does simply nothing. Have gouveur kernel..
Try charging it again.. Maybe its just empty after Kernel Panic...
Sometimes I have to hold power for like 10 seconds wait 2 seconds then another 10 seconds for some reason. Hope it helps.

Same here. Mine wouldn't turn on this morning. I did the whole button finger dance and nothing. Let it charge, even though it was already charged and then did the same button thing for 5 minutes and it just came back on.
Can anyone one of you get into APX mode (Vol Up + PWR) and have your OS see your device? IF you can, then you use NVFlash to reflash your stock firmware (or custom ROM) and restore your backup, if you made one.
I just soft bricked my TF101 B50 and saved it with this --->
http://androidroot.mobi/2012/05/27/introducing-wheelie-nvflash-for-asus-transformer-tf101-b70/a
FYI, I am on Linux but you should be able to open the .sh file and use the same commands. Either that or there are Windows programs that use NVFlash binaries. Easy Flasher is one that I can think of off the top of my head.
No, cannot boot APX..
Just tried the 10sec.press+2sec.wait for roundabout 5 Minutes as above written and for 0,5sec flashed the emtpy Battery symbol on the screen. Keypad says full Battery. I think it is not charging when its turned off..
Will be on Holidays till thursday and try then APX mode trough the Keydock.. Hope that works..

I am in the same boat. TF101 that is out of warranty and just all of a sudden stopped turning on. I have a dock as well and the dock full charges, but within the dock or out of the dock and connected to ac power, it still wont turn on or show any response at all. No response at all. I have tried every button combination i can think of and find on the interweb. I really hate that the tablet doesnt have a light indicator for power. While the ac adapter might be fine and charging the dock, the internal part of the tablet where the adapter connects could be damaged or something and never getting power (docked or not) and we would have no clue. Havent looked into seeing if I can install a new battery and how much a new one would cost, but that still wouldnt solve the issue with getting power in the first place to charge or function. Any suggestions or ideas outside of what we have already talked about in this thread?

RMA to Asus. Mine had some serious issues staying stable and I obtained a RMA for a refurbished unit I bought from Newegg in February. It was in Texas one week and is being returned tomorrow. I don't know what if anything was wrong with it or if it even works when I get it back. I do know it was a door stop when it left and it only cost me shipping there to give them a shot at a repair. It was my last hope for a great tablet.
Good Luck

Just got mine back from ASUS after a short visit to Texas. They did not charge me to fix it, but they did not say what was wrong with it either. I am just glad to have my tablet back. It appears to function normally now. Great service from ASUS with my money.

So now I came back from holidays and boot the TF without any problems. "It just works"
Will write again if any problems will appear.

I had a similar problem with mine... Let it sit for a few days and it magically started working again.
...Play dead.
We all know how brilliant a design the charge cord adapter is, I myself am on to my third one in almost two years. Well, the tablet stopped charging today and no matter which wall outlet I used or how much I wiggled the lead I could not make the light come on. Seeing that my Verizon contract is all but done at the end of this month and rather than buy another charge cord I decided to buy a new tab. I just picked up the new Asus Transformer Infinity, not too bad so far. Anyways, about 20 minutes after getting home with neither tablet charged to a useable level, the power goes out for a couple hours- just my luck too. When the power came back on suddenly the light on the Xoom came on. I hadn't touched it since I gave up on trying to get it to charge. Now here I am with two tablets and a $500 hole in my pocket. I know I was bound to get a new one eventually so I'm going to hang on to it but I never saw it happening like this.
Has anyone else had any issues regarding their chargers? Or anything unusual occur in general? I'm sure I'm not alone.
Ouch I would hate to folk out another $500 dollars for a new tablet even though my old one still works. I don't use my tablet for any intensive apps like games, so a new one would be pretty pointless for me. I never had any issues with my charger, well one time one of my charger did blow up, but that's because the battery was faulty for my jump charger for my car. Other than that, you might have some dust in the charger pin hole? Just a guess really.
I'm on my third charger since March. Original Motorola one died, second one (off eBay) burnt out, current one (off eBay) still working but I can't use the touchscreen while unit is charging.
I live remote using an off-grid power supply so this may have something to do with it.

Huh. I have four of them, from the original back in Feb '11 to one I was given a few months back, and they all work perfectly- and most of 'em are used every week (two at home, one in the office, one for travel).
agreed with kcrudup, ive been through 2, the only reason being i snapped the connector on the first one when i pulled it out at a bad angle
The charger that came with my refurbished Xoom lasted almost through the first charge. I thought I was going to have to send the whole thing back until I took it into the Verizon store and verified that it charged with a different charger. I've since got one off eBay and another with the standard dock. Both have been holding out so far.
Oh and my Xoom touch screen doesn't respond while charging either. Somewhere I read that a factory reset will fix that... but I'm waiting until my 90 day warantee is up to put EOS on it since my BT mouse works while it is charging.

My original charger is still working and I got my tablet 8 months back. I think the charger has lasted pretty well. How long did peoples original ones seem to last?

That's an electrical problem (noise and/or grounding issues with the charger raise the "noise floor" so the touchscreen controller has trouble determining what's a valid touch) and can't be cured by any reset, factory or full or ...
Your issue is your charger- try another.

Just a quick note.. I've had the ebay sourced chargers fail on my xoom ( and other devices). I found that the power ratings on some of them are rather optimistic... they simply are running at the outer limits to charge the tablet and failure can be internal to the power unit...best case.. or worst case failure dumps overvoltage or raw AC power to the tablet.
Fortunately my failed units were of the internal power supply version.. and aside from bad smells no real damage was done.
I have successfully built charger/power units after scavenging the connector from my failed power supplies and using a minimum 1.5 amp 12v dc supply... they seem to work fine.. and keeping one handy is much more convenient than wondering where I last used it :fingers-crossed:
as always.. your mileage may vary
Hmm, that's interesting. Unfortunately this charger is from Verizon and i would surely hope that their stuff work to the correct specs. I wonder sometimes that maybe the problem could be with the contact inside the tablet. Could that have something to so with it?

I think the Motorola/Verizon chargrs are good. I think the earthing issue is with the cheap chargers from China.
When I lost my cellphone charger I had to buy a Chinese one, well, when charging it looked like possessed by the Devil itself lol! The screen started acting strange and I wasn't able to control it... Then I found my original charger and the exorcism was complete lol^2! BTW, a guy on X10 mini pro community (one of the best developers I ever met - my favorite one ) lost a cellphone with a Chinese charger, so what can I say - be careful with it!

While charging my Nexus 7 I noticed that the battery was actually draining rather than charging. This is happened in the past as well where I would plug it in overnight and find it at 42%. My Nexus also dropped from 100% to 77% in less than an hour with no use at all.
Recently while charging I went into the bootloader to shut down the Nexus. Now I plug it in and the screen is blank. I have tied a rubber band around the power button so it is constantly being pressed.
Is this a battery issue that can be solved by simply ordering a battery on eBay and changing it? The past behavior of the tablet makes me think it's either a software or battery issue.
i have the exact same thing... n7 is dead as a brick... have tried everything... i also measured the battery and it's on 0.93 v so there is still juice inside...
can't figure why it doesn't work... if u find something plz let me know too
mine done the same thing . But it done so after leaving it for a few weeks not charging. I charged for like 30 minutes . turned it on . It started updating apps. then all at once screen went off. and that was it..
I had square trade warranty as my tab was bought back when 32 gb 2012 version came out. So i sent it in and they fixed it . I have no idea what they done but it has the same serial numbers mac address and so on. So i suspect it was just revived somehow.
I sent email asking exactly what was done to fix it with no reply back.
Don't have a warranty... it the 1st Gen n7 so I called Google and it doesn't have warranty

I'm way past warranty. I've had it a couple of years now.
I bought a battery off of eBay. I'm going to remove the back cover and replace the battery and hopefully that will fix the issue.
Will update with the results or lack of results.
Yesterday I picked up a used Nexus 7 with a bootloop issue.. spent $10 so I figured worst case I bought an expensive charger for my phone. Either way, it looks like the bootloader is locked and I can't unlock it. Everything I've read seems to point to a bad emmc chip. Would replacing the motherboard solve this issue (assuming the new motherboard doesn't have the same defect). Also could I replace this one (an 8gb) with a 16 or 32 gb board?
I changed my motherboard from 16 to 32gb. All went without a hitch. I got this one...

Did you just want to upgrade or was there an issue with the original 16GB? If it's good (and you still have it) would you want to sell it?
I assume my motherboard is zapped. I can charge my Grouper while it's unplugged but no device will recognize it. I made the mistake of upgrading my partition with this issue, now I have a fancy paperweight. Thoughts?
I just ordered an 8GB replacement motherboard from eBay, cost $16.99. I'm figuring I'll be into this thing for a bit under $30 if all works out so worth the gamble I guess. I'll update once it comes in.
My new 32 gb motherboard arrived, and I installed it right away- I felt like it was Christmas morning. Fast forward to closing the case, and I get no power. Not even a weak attempt. I went through everything, it's all properly attached. Still nothing. It's currently charging with no LED light on. I am not optimistic. Anyone have any suggestions?

I replaced my boards also.... Bought a used unit that came from a Nexus that someone had broken the screen on.... So, I received the frame with camera/speaker and boards attached.... only thing missing was the usb/headphone piece which I just took from my old frame....
Put everything together.... sealed it up..... plugged it in..... Nothing...... mild heart attack..... But then, I let it charge for 10 minutes... returned to the unit and pressed and held the power button.... and it fired up....
So, as I don't have a suggestion on if there is something internally wrong.... But sure, that the battery is plugged in securely and give that power button another shot after charging for a little while...
Motherboard came in yesterday, couldn't have been easier to install just have to watch the plastic clips on the ribbon cable connectors, I broke one on the old motherboard, if they are anything like the PS3 if they break you're SOL. The new MB was on 4.2 so I went through the upgrade procedure to 5.0.2 and wow it runs lollipop nicely. Also I ended up getting a 16gb MB so that worked out well.
Try and use a regular tablet charger, which I think is 1.3 or 2.3 amps and not one of the generic chargers which are lower - you will notice a huge difference in charging time. I'm using the tablet charger on my S4 and it goes from 10% to 100% in around an hour.
Hi, so a couple days ago all of a sudden the phone would not charge with quick charge and i tried different plugs, it would charge then uncharge every 1 second, so i used my console or laptop to charge my phone but it was charging slowly and the port would get very hot, now today it is not charging at all with anything, im from the UK but got the phone from USA so cant really send them the phone, but i think the charging port is maybe burned out or something, does anybody have suggestions on what i can do? Thank you
Contact ZTE first of all if your phone is still under warranty. Even if you bought it in the USA, they can facilitate the repair. Failing that, your best shot would be to look up some repair guide and try doing it yourself, or taking it to a repair shop.
Btw, the Axon 7 on Ebay or in Willhaben (Used market website in Austria) doesn't cost more than 150€. If you have that ammount to spare, buying a used unit might not be the worse bet.
Mine had an error close to this after I rooted it. It would appear to be on the charger, but the unit would just get EXTREMELY hot and not take a charge. I finally let it die completely and it just started working normal after that. If the charge port is the only thing getting hot though, it might be different. My entire phone would heat up.
Have you made sure the port is absolutely clean? If not it can slow or stop the charge and definitely heat everything stuck in there.
Try a different cable. I had a similar scare using magnetic tip cables and they ended up being the culprit.
