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!!!

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.

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
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.

I just have freaked out when today my touchpad didn't give any symptoms of life!
HOME+POWER 10SEC = back to life!
My new galaxy tab 10.1 (7510) was working fine, I plugged it in before I went out cause the battery was about 50 % and when I came home (3 hrs. later) it was completely dead. Can't turn it on at all. Does anyone know what might be wrong?
I installed ADW a few days ago, it was working great. Today I downloaded EZPDF and was thrilled with it, working awesome and now it won't do anything. Help please.
Try holding down the power button for 30 secs?
Also try power and volume down.

Not to sound rude because I got confused with this the first time with the volume buttons. Hold down power and the volume button closest to it witch is actually down don't want you holding the wrong buttons. I have had this prob before just hold those buttons tell it turns on those buttons also help if the tab and or phone freezes it reboots the tablet.

Thank you so much for your help. It is back up and working fine. If it had been my phone I would have just popped the battery out for a second but this scared me for some reason. Maybe because it's. brand new. I guess I'll be OK if I just think of it as an oversize phone. Anyways thanks again everyone. Sorry that was supposed to be the Smiley.
Igive up. I'm using the Thumb keyboard and for some reason there are times when it won't let me correct a mistake. Gonna have to find out how come.
Thanks again

We have a 32gb Touchpad that essentially is my 5 yr old's. It has been running CM7 fine (dual boots that and WebOS) since he got it at Christmas. He handed it to me this morning after taking if off the Touchstone and it had the message "Please release keys..." and keeping the power button pressed down for eternity does nothing (I've rebooted if the Touchpad has gotten frozen before or if the touchpad didn't recognize touch on the screen).
Please help, I have no clue what to do. I googled the problem and it seems people have this happen when they install CM, but mine's been running fine for months and this is spontaneous.
You have to press both the power button and the home button together for about 15-20 seconds.

Thanks, I did try that, but it goes to a black screen, flashes the HP logo for a split second than goes back to the "Please release key(s)...." message. I did this 5 times, so it just seems to cycle
I had this issue once. What I did was press-and-old Power and Vol-Up, then repeatedly hit the Home button. Takes about 10-11 tries (do it really fast - should only take a couple seconds). Then screen will go completely black. Press and hold then just power-home, and it should come back up. As soon as the backlight starts to come up, release the buttons, though.

Tried, it does the same thing, flashes the HP logo for a split second and then back to the 'Please release key(s)...' message. I can't get it to do anything but go through the black screen, split second of hp logo and then back to the message Thank you for trying to help!

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Although it doesn't seem to be stuck. I am able to press it when trying to reset the device.
No, but it can be independently verified quite easily. So that is it 100%

Hi all..
I am having a Dell Venue 7 tablet. I bought it around 6 months ago. Everything was working fine.
2 days ago, when I woke up in morning, and was trying to power on my tablet, It didn't power on. I thought, it might happen due to battery drain. But, after charging for hours, I am still unable to power it on.
I tried pressing power button for a couple of seconds many time after random intervals of time, also with combination of volume buttons too. But, nothing made it to power it on.
Same problem happened last week, but that time after a night's interval, I was able to power it on normally.
Can anyone HELP ME to understand the problem and sort it out.
Thanks.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Good luck

I know it takes about 3 seconds of holding the button for this tab but I have no doubts you know that... Have you tried powering it on WHILE plugged in perhaps? I would try using another charger as well, maybe you have a lose connection or bad wire that only charges sometimes. Also I think it is hold the vol up key then press power for recovery, might wanna double try that. Besides those things I would pull off the back cover (it's easy, at least on my venue 8, just remove the SD card first) and try manually depressing the power button inside and check the battery connection. Only thing it could be outside of all this is a bad button/main board. If you manage to get it powered back on then maybe don't shut it down anymore? As long as you don't have some app affecting it the battery should lose very little charge in standby. Mine is always on and carried in a pouch in my purse. I simply plug it in overnight to charge. Good luck!

sounds like stuck in download mode to me connect to a pc open device manager see id you see any unknown devices pop up or intel-soc / cloverview devices if so hold power until it goes away if it does disconnect the device from the pc power on holding vol down and power should boot to droidboot if it does select recovery from the menu when it boot to recovery hit its either volume up and power or volume down and power to show recovery menu select reboot and the device will reboot I've seen tons of these fail to set the boot mode properly and appear dead.
