Screen is black, no vibrations indicating switching on or off. When connected to PC, PC indicates device connected but does not show up as connected device.
I unlocked bootloader and installed pixel ROM yesterday, the phone was working fine. Suddenly the screen when dark and unresponsive. I can't factory reset or reboot using PC.
I tried checking if the screen was the problem by calling it, but came out as switched off multiple times.
Please help

My phone is totaly dead I think, tried to flash another rom on it. Got an error, and everything did weird.
Resetted the phone, but nothing happens. Removed battery, sim-card.. tried to put it back on.. completely dead.
When turning on the phone nothing happens, not a single light burns or flashes, and nothing happens on the screen.
Did i totaly mess my phone up?

If I could turn on I would have tried that, but the device wont turn on.
Sometimes it seems that your device is turned off but actually it is turned on but can't boot, for exmaple after the flashing failure.
In this case try to enter bootloader mode. When my Herald was broken I was able to enter bootloader mode although my device also seemed to be turned off.
When your screen is black you don't know if you are "on" or "off" so please try to enter bootloader mode two times after switching your device on and before that.

Hi,
mi n2e only with 1 week and has got frozen in the middle of a book. It doesn't respond. Soft reset doesn't work. Battery was about 50%.
I have disassembled it and try a lot of things, remove battery, connect to supply without battery... but the screen is in the same page of the book. There is no way to turn off screen.
Now with the nook connected to supply the led indicator is off and my computer doesn't detect it. This morning I got the light turned red (charging perhaps???) In this situation when I pushed button to turn off, the red changed to green for 2-3 seconds and then turned red again. And my computer detected it.
But now the light indicator is off again.
This is a gift from a friend in Usa. I live in Spain, so there is no warranty and for this reason I've tried to repair myself.
Any help, please? I'm desperate with it. I can't understand it fails in only 1 week.
Thanks.
> Soft reset doesn't work.
What do you mean by "doesn't work". It happened to me that my touch screen stucked but when I pressed "power off" button for a long time (e.g. 15 s) my nook rebooted and then if was OK.
But in you case whole system is stucked (no menu after pressing "n"), right?
Right. Whole system is out. Anything works... Now when I plug to power, there is no light on (led is off).
Hi Esfinge
Did you find a solution?
Same thing happened to me, I'm in South Africa, so can't take it back to B&N.
Got it brand new, charged it, connected to wi-fi, registered, loaded a book via Caliber (on Mac), switched off wi-fi.
The next time I picked it up it had the message that the unit is switched off and that
you have to power it up by pressing the power button on the back.
Tried removing the battery, did not help at all, also holding power button for 20 sec.
If I plug it into power the light goes green and then orange after a couple of seconds, if I connect it to a computer I can access the files on the nook.

Dude, it's a e-ink screen..
When powered down it still retains its last image, it wont go blank unless told to do so.

That doesn't make sense, a powered down N2 will not mount the sdcard on your pc when connected via usb.
So if you're able to access the Nook partition while the N2 is still showing its "powered down" screen, you're in some serious trouble, as that would indicate the N2 is powered on and running, but not communicating with the e-Ink screen

This seems to be the case, worked perfectly and then suddenly not, I might be sitting with a 'Friday' model.... anyone know where I can get a new screen?

Screen is black blank, hasnt came back since it first shut off after the first or second reboot on the first try restoring it to 1.4.3. The Screen was working fine before I used it everyday then i wanted to switch roms from phirmod 7.1 to NookieJoyOS it worked but the wifey didnt like it. She wanted her original nook color back. So I went back to original stock rom and then i started having problems. At first i though i had formatted something wrong in cw3.0.2.8. Above I was stating scenarios in threads i was reading on what possibly happened.

I recently got an NST screen/digitizer for ~$40US on eBay, it took 5minutes to replace it.
Hi all,
My TPT this morning for some weird reason stopped turning on. I plugged it into my dock. When it's in the off state it shows the charging logo. But when I go and turn it on, the screen stays black with no Lenovo bootup logo. The red dot in the back of the tablet however, is on when I switch it on. I initially thought that the power drained but I've been charging it for an hour and it still doesn't boot up. Any suggestions? Thanks
Press the tiny button next to the SD-card and then try and start the TPT. You might be in bootloader.
Otherwise, maybe your display cable became disconnected inside. Easy to do or fix if you've opened it up.

Tried resetting, no dice.
Also I don't think its a display problem. Since when its off and I plug it into my dock the charging logo does show up for 5 seconds. Also, when I turn it on, there's no vibrate that the TPT usually does. I noticed that the red light only stays on for maybe 10 seconds then goes dim again

Okay so this is definitely weird. I just plugged it into my PC and via USB and it actually started up! But when I unplug it from my PC it acts the same as before... battery indicates a full charge in android though...

Do you mean the phone is on but screen is black, or the phone will not power on at all? Press and hold only the power button down for several minutes until it restarts. How is it recognized when you connect it to the PC?

Thankyou for your response.
I can't turn on the phone at all.
It is not responding at all like it is dead.
Tried charging but still no respone.
I cant test it yet on PC but i hope it will start if i connect it to PC.
What i Tried:
-hold power button for 1 a 2 minutes = no response
-charge phone for 4 hours = no led, no display
-tried to bootloader = no respones. I think it needs RMA but it have customrom installed ?. Should i sent it ? Do you think i can try other things ??

Try holding the power button only again for a solid 4-5 minutes. In many cases this has restarted a non-responsive device. Connecting it to the PC will not start the phone. I meant if the screen was off, the phone might be running in download mode, and recognized by the PC. Anyway unlocking and rooting does not void your warranty, but don't offer up that information. As far as they are concerned, your phone is completely stock, and just shut down by itself and now is totally non-responsive even after fully charging several times. Good luck on the button press.

Connect to computer and hold down both volume keys
If that brings you to the download mode you can reinstall all your firmware using odin

i have the a207m and unfortunately it did not work thanks anyway
so i could actually see it turn on and got the unlock screen and saw that battery was dead and did not have a charging symbol it turned off 2 seconds later. can it be the baterry that causes this?
It can be the battery but it could be a dirty charge port or even cable. When the battery is extremely low you're not going to be able to flash it, nor should you try. See if you can get anything out of the charger connect area on the phone.... maybe it's lint.. At this point there isn't much else besides ensuring you have a clean connection.
