Hi All,
Anyone else having this issue? I installed cm7 and everything was working fine. I was playing with it and installing a few apps for a few hours. Then I plugged it into its charger and forgot about it for a few hours.
Then I went to check something on it and it would not turn on. No combination of Power + Up volume or any other buttons will work. Plugging it into the computer using the same supplied USB cable into a working USB slot doesn't yield any results.
It's almost as if all of the power has drained from it (it was at 50% power when I plugged it in last before all of this happened) and it's not being recharged. Just completely dead and unresponsive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Have you tried the POWER + HOME combo.
Remember to long press.
That is a known fix.

Thanks for the reply.
I've tried every combination of long button presses to no avail. But ill try again when I get home. Maybe within the 5-6 hours it'll "wake-up". Not bloody likely though.

Hopefully it will. This issue got me all freaked out the first it happened, but it has not done it ever since.

So the exact same situation happened to you and you were able to fix it it by long pressing the power and home button?

Yes Holding POWER + HOME Buttons for about 15 secs did the trick for me.

Just got home and tried it. It worked! Thank you SOOO much. I did in fact try the power + home combo. I just didn't hold it down for that long. I counted until 25 alligators before the HP icon came on.
Thanks again!!
+1. 15 sec hold power and home

Hi guys,
I've installed CM7 following the tutorial given on Touchpad Development forum.
Everything was working quite good (gapps, etc.) and I've been able to use CM during hours.
But since this afternoon, I'm not again able to turn my Touchpad on.
I've tried :
- power
- hold power
- hold power + home button
- hold power + home button + volume up
And nothing has worked.
Is there a physical way for resetting the device ?
Have you got any idea ?
I feel so unhappy because of this.
Thanks in advance for your help or ideas !
well... the Touchpad just turned ion !
Thanks God...
But I still don't know why I was unable to turn it on during hours... strange strange strange ! It just booted on with 40% of battery.
Let me guess. It was in a touchstone?

Mine is doing the same thing right now. Been using CM since this morning, set it down for a hour now and it wont turn on. I didnt even turn it off, battery was fine too.
edit...found a thread at rootzwiki and its easy fix. Hold Poer and Home for 15 seconds or so and it will fire right up!!!
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?7913-SOLVED-Touchpad-shut-off-and-I-can-t-get-it-back-on!
From what I can tell the touchstone does not work with android. If the unit freezes hold home and power 15 sec

Indeed, it was !
But I already said that power+home didn't worked for me.
The same thing happens again right now. My Touchpad can't boot.
Every once in a while this "download mode" comes up. I had left my phone in my room and it died while i went quickly to the neighbors. When I came back, I found my phone in this download mode. Ive seen it before and I get to it randomly. Any insight?
When you turn on your phone by holding the vol+/- and power with the USB plugged in, this is what shows up. So I'm guessing that's what's happening.. I'm not sure. Wait for an expert on the subject.

heres the thing. My phone was completely untouched and the charger was not plugged in. Its a totally different download mode.
So, I've seen this particular download mode come up when I go into download using the adb reboot download command. The volume up-down method brings up the download mode with the number of flashes and the other warnings. Not sure what the difference is.

Is it a stock ROM or you have any other ROMs and a custom kernel? AFAIK, The only way to enter download mode other than the physical key combination is to let the kernel know before it is rebooting - like 'adb reboot download' and using some custom options found in other ROMS..
Sorry, i have Serendipity 8 and kernel is Entropy. Ive experienced the same on UnNamed as well. Not a big deal. Its just a pain having to pull the battery because its a tad hard to remove it from the case.

I think you don't need to pull the battery out. Keep pressing the power button until the phone switches off. Again press the power button so that the phone boots again..
I tried that with no luck lol

This does work to reboot the phone without pulling the battery. You can also hold the power button until you see the first boot logo.
I have no problem rebooting from download mode by holding the power button. Usually takes about 10-15 seconds to work.

Though I don't know if installing alpha 2.1 can do this but a day after I installed cyanogenmod 2.1 the touch pad vibrated then shutoff. Now I can not turn it back on. I've tried recharging it but it still doesn't turn on and I notice that the back of the touchpad was getting warmer the longer I leave it plugged in. If I had to guess it might be a problem with the battery. But has anyone else had this issue?
So holding home+power for ~30 seconds doesn't reboot it?

Try this for sure. Hold it longer if it still doesn't boot just in case.
Hey, Holding the home+power longer actually worked. Can any one tell me what the heck happened to it? sound like the sleep of death thing that people are talking about with the alpha 2.1

It is very intermittent thing with alpha 2.1 and seems to be a device by device thing. I have personally only had it once with alpha 2.1 installed.

Is not the proper way to reboot a touchpad in case of troubleshooting > hold down power button and press home button 10 times? Works for me every time.

Never heard of that way...
I just have freaked out when today my touchpad didn't give any symptoms of life!
HOME+POWER 10SEC = back to life!
I need some help, my evo powered off and my power button is not working. Is there any way to boot it up in a terminal?
If its turned off, then I don't think so. What happened that it turned off? Did you run the battery down? Did you try to s-off and semi-brick it?

While charging it it should turn on within a few minutes of taking a charge. Hold the power button for 60 seconds. Keep trying to turn it on. Do a combination with the power button. Kind of mess with it a bit. That's how I got mine to turn on after that happened to me.

The power button doesn't work at all and it doesn't power on when charging. I bought a replacement power button flex cable ribbon so I guess I can just wait for it to come in

Yeah, I guess. I've never had a power button die on me -- usually it's that the charge isn't enough to turn on the phone, which means I'd have to wait for it to charge for a while.
Sorry we weren't more help!

Hi!
I am rooted, and was running Android Revolution HD 13.
Tried to install KitKat 4.4 and the status was aborted. I saved a back up in recovery. I entered a boot loop once I restarted the phone. I thought, "No problem! I'll just get into my recovery!" But every time I hold the Vol Down + Power button, nothing happens. It simply shows, "HTC: Quietly Brilliant" and the developer disclaimer at the bottom. Any ideas?

When your at the HTC boot screen hold the power button and both volume buttons.... You'll see your button lights flash like 10-15 times and then it will force shut down your phone. Once it's completely off try booting into recovery again.

try holding it under a bright light ..the proximity sensor can keep the phone from shutting down if the room is not well lite

So are you thinking theirs some other miracle answer to your question ?
it's a fact that holding down the power button plus vol down till you see the blinking lights (around 10 seconds)
then let off the volume it will shut off, just keep trying.

I think it may be the vol down button to be honest. It is odd. I have never experienced an issue like this before.

Had a similar problem once. Let the battery run completely dry, then charged it back up and got into recovery from a power up.
