I've already read the other topics I could find regarding this problem.
Last night, my tablet's battery was at ~70%. It was turned off for some reason couple of hours later. It struck me as odd since it was sitting on my bed the whole time and no one else had touched it. I attempted to turn it on normally without luck.
Naturally, I started googling and searching XDA. Tried doing several suggestions like holding down the n button and power button for 20+ seconds, holding down the power button and volume down key, tried bunch of other button combinations, plugged it into the wall, plugged it into my computer, took the SD card out, etc.
But maybe if I missed something so if anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it.

Have you tried charging it? If for some reason the battery is dead, it takes about 15 minutes of charge before it will boot.
Another trick to try: connect the NT to your home computer (turned on), using the provided USB cable. If the battery has a charge, this should wake up the NT and establish a USB connection.
Most likely, though, the battery had run down, so by all means charge it up first. Good luck!

Another thought: If it turns out to be your battery depleting too quickly (and if this is a pattern rather than an isolated event), then this is a warranty issue and you should contact B&N for a replacement device. There are some weak batteries out there, even in recently purchased units, so don't live with a bad battery when you can get a warranty replacement.
I haI this problem, hold down the power button for about 30 seconds, release it, then try yo power it on as you would normally.

I'm at a bit of a loss here..
Instead of powering on, the battery light goes *blink* *blink* *LongPause* ..
I have a (3 day old) Archos 101 and updated to the most recent software when it I first powered up the device. I probably drained my battery yesterday when I put it in the night stand drawer while Aldiko was trying to import a fresh ePub file..
When I turned it on this morning, it blinked once and stopped. When I plugged in the charger (figuring the battery was drained) the "blink blink longpause" started. Long pressing the power button stops the blinking. If the power is connected, the power light burns, so I figure its charging. If its not on power, the power light doesnt burn. I tried the "Hold + while powering up" to boot into recovery but that doesnt change anything.
The Archos FAQ said something about charging the battery, but its been charging for about 9 hours now and the device still wont turn on.. (Green light still burns continuously while charging, not when disconnected) My XDA forums search didnt turn up any results..
Anyone got a clue what this means, what I can do or whatever? Tnx
Maybe the screen froze. Try resetting it by holding down the power button for ten seconds or so. If you're charging it at the same time, it should boot right back up after the reset is complete.

Yes, I tried that :/ That's what I meant by long pressing the power button. It changes the blinking pattern to just the burning power led..
Thanks for the tip though!

Give it another shot. Disconnect the plug. Hold down the power button for a little over 10 seconds. I would do like 15 in my head. Wait a few seconds after that and press the power button quickly once. If you get the steady green light just wait. Dont keep pressing it. You should eventually see the Archos splashscreen. I have had this happen on several occassions when the system has been idle for a while with the screen off. Hope it works.
Ok; I did that.
Except that when I push the power button that last time to have it boot up; the power light just flashes once. I didnt touch it to be sure and it doesnt start.
When I plugged in the power supply after that, the *blink blink longpause* resumed.
When I hold down the power btn now, it reverts to continuous burning green power led.
Its been charging for more than 24 hours now.
This sounds like what happened to mine. it happened after about 3 days, too. I finally got my replacement the Tuesday before Christmas.
If you get it powered up, get your stuff off & clean up your personal info (something I wasn't able to do.
From my post on AchosFans Forum:
For several days my Archos wouldn't take a charge. I didn't think anything about it the first day...stuff happens. After using it the next time, not really thinking there was a problem I plugged it in (and of course it turned itself on again). So this morning it only had 8%. I messed around a few minutes before work resetting it & such - checked setting>about>battery stats and it said "charging" and 0% battery. When I came home this evening it still said "charging" & 0% battery. It then shut down (with a not-normal screen flicker) the first time I unplugged it (hoping to cycle it or get lucky) and it is now a brick. When I plug it in now the charging light did a fast-double-blink and it it remained dead.
I called Archos & they told me to send it back. She didn't ask for much info before telling me to send it, which I took to mean that it is a known issue.
Same happened to me
The same has happened to me after the archos 101 drained its battery fully. I think the firmware has a flaw where it lets the archos drain its battery too far. In that state, hooking it up to the charger wont make it start charging all the time.
I had the blink-blink-blink problem also, even after it had been on the charger for hours. Finally it started working (and charging! )again after lots of 15-second Powerbutton presses, some in combination with Volume Up or Volume Down, and some with and some without the charger connected. Suddenly it turned on (showing 0% charge in the Settings, Information panel indicating it had fully drained and hadn't been charging in the previous hours) . I advice you to keep trying pressing the Power button 15 seconds with the charger connected, and experiment with pressing it in combination with the volume button, followed by a short Power press to boor the Archos.
In the mean time (till a new firmware comes), i make a habit of not fully draining the Archos (i will install Tasker to let it shutdown at 10%) , and checking if the green led comes on after plugging in the charger. Only when the green led is on, it's really charging. And it should start blinking after a few hours to indicate its full.
My wife has a chinese android iPad clone (a Flytouch II) and guess what? It's also picky at charging and turning on.
The Gravity reply had me scared (tnx though) but I'm glad to report that pwhooftman's post helped!
I plugged it in, put a movie on and started trying to reset/start it. It happened reasonably quickly after that.. I pressed the power button while it was off power, the power led flashed once as before. I plugged in the power. The green light lighted up. I pushed the power and + for 15 seconds, and pressed the power button once shortly. Unlike the other times, the blinking pattern didnt start and the green light kept burning. Hopeful, I put it down and waited - as the FAQ said it would start when it d charged more. Finally after a while, I pressed the power button and it booted. Not exactly exact science, but Im just happy that it works again :/
I guess the "blink blink longpause" means something like "I know I've got power but I cant seem to load my battery" - Archos should have this info in their manuals.
Thanks guys

Nice to know I can scare people...and it isn't Halloween!
I tried everything I could think of to get it to take a charge, with no luck. The problem I had with mine was the times it wouldn't take a charge BEFORE I had drained it - that is why it got drained in the first place.
I hope it was only mine!
He s at it again. Drained to 3% and now it wont charge anymore. *sigh*
except he wont even do the blinking anymore now.
Seems to be a fairly common issue with these tablets :/
Same thing was happening to me too. Dunno if this will work for people, but here is how I fixed mine.
Hold your finger on the power button for 10 seconds while the blinky light is on. This should stop the light completely.
Then plug the charger in. This gave me a continuous light rather than a blinky light. Leave it like that for a couple of hours and then try powering it on again.
Hope this works for others.
Had this happen to me once so far. Seems to have to do with it going into a sleep state or something. If I leave it for long and the screen turns off. Sometimes it won't come back up without first holding down the power to shut it down (even though I can't see anything on the screen) and then waiting to boot back up. I had to plug it in, get the steady light and then power on and it worked.
OK, I know this sounds weird...
But what's the temperature of the A101 like?
I had an identical problem a short while ago, and a forum post suggested that the tablet could be too cold. I thought it was a total shot in the dark, but I wrapped the Archos in a quilt for a few minutes, and amazingly enough, it popped back into life with the charger plugged in, and has been pretty fine since then.
To be fair, it could be one of three things: (i) temperature is the issue, (ii) coincidence, (iii) a bad connection in the pins/socket of the adapter input on the Archos 101 which just needs 'jiggling.'
I have also noticed that if I charge the Archos while it is in standby, I never get more than 92-94% battery. If I shut it down, plug in, then shut it down again when it restarts on power supply insertion, I can usually get 98% battery, at the least, sometimes 100% battery.
I agree, we shouldn't have 'quirky' devices, or have to wait for firmware to fix them, but other device makers have had similar problems in the past with battery reporting, until appropriate firmware fixes.
it happened to me last night frustrated the heck out of me couldn't get it to turn on no matter what i did, so i took it back to pc world and the guy said
"what would you like to do, out of curiosity do you like it?" I replied no and he said "then ill refund you"
i then paid the extra on a galaxy tab and not looking back the archos was a complete pile of sh!te! I almost cried when i turned it on and spent the next two months convincing myself i actually liked it.
its woefully made, cheap and tacky, screen is pathetic and the memory appalling.
i know its cheaper than tab and iphone but for 270 it should still be fit for purpose and this is not it's the worst gadget ive ever owned by a long long shot, i didn't even show it off at work because i was so embarrassed at how bad it was.

So, how did the story end?!? Did it survive?
Ok...
I kid you not, i've tried warming the archos up with a hot water bottle for several seconds and that did the trick appearently...
Had the same problem.

HERE is the FIX ! I am on my second A-70/250 - my wife has the 8gb version, and I thought the 250gb one was simply defective - evidently, this IS a known issue, but it can be fixed, and I sent back my other one without reason
Anyways, no more pity party for me, here is the fix - if you have the flashy-power light dealio going on, plug your Archos into the power adapter, plug the adapter into the wall, and plug in the USB CABLE to the Archos, and to your PC - the Archos WILL pwoer up, when it does, it asks if you wish to mount the USB to copy files, select, "YES" and let it sit and charge ! Now - the REASON it does this is VERY simple, and it kills me to admit that I was killing my tablet all by myself ! Disable the "never off" screen thingy - set it for 10 minutes - (settings - display - screen timeout). Go into your power settings as well - (settings - power management) and make sure there is a checkmark in the deep sleep area ! THAT IS IT ! You are fixed ! Dang... I REALLY wish I would have found all this out before I returned the other one - I had SO much stuff loaded on it ! GAH !! - SenKat !
I got the same problem yesterday, it kept blink blink and could not turn on. After 5 hour charging, I warmed it up by hair dryer and suddenly it's on. Crazy amazing! Hahahahahuahuahuahua.
Temperature is main problem. Try with your hair dryer!!! Heheheheheh
Its sounds unbelievable, but low temperatures are indeed a cause.

my a70 had this same problem, left it rest a whole night, then plugged it in to usb and power (usb 1st) and it booted up, hope this helped
Its been day 3 of having a phone that refuses to power on..
I went camping over the weekend and had it plugged into (and charging) my travel charger via cigarette lighter and it was working fine. At one point I went to use it and turned on the screen but it glitched out by the screen turning on then off a few times until i left the screen off, gave it a few seconds, and turned it on again and was able to put in my security lock etc. It does that once in awhile and I chalk it up to a computer booting up and my impatience
Well the screen powered off while reading on my phone, and I went to power on but it wouldnt stay on this time. I got a glimpse of the battery and its probably 85% charged, but upon coming home and leaving it on the charger all night I am still with a dead phone.
There is no flashing white/green/red led light a the front, even when plugged in.
Ive tried all the solutions on these forums (camera + power button, camera + power + volume buttons, removed battery, cleaned with eraser, tried different chargers via wall outlets & laptop, and even the cmd & "bootloader" stuff but the request is never recognized..) I really need some help with this, PLEAAAASSSEE!
Ive never rooted (?) or flashed or did anything of the sort with this phone, its pretty much stock.
**I just tried putting the battery in after a few min, and as soon as the pins touched and the battery was in, the back lower camera light flashed on for a few seconds and then shut off. Still no power to the phone though
I cant find anything close to my problem so I hope someone out there has a new & successful suggestion!!
Thanks all!
Have you tried a new battery? It truly sounds like your battery is gone and doesn't hold (much) of a charge.
I have a Nook Tablet (NT) that is rooted and running CM 10.2. All was well until recently when I noticed that once the battery is drained it'll take almost a day for it to turn back on, most of the time being stuck in a loop where the "battery is too low to power on" screen will appear and reappear. Two days my daughter was using it to watch Netflix and the low battery toast appeared, she plugged it in and the NT shut off. Pressing the power button produced nothing until we unplugged it again. I tried using three different cords including a fastboot cord I made for our KFHD, each time it shut right off and won't start back up. I've tried plugging a cord in without any power and it doesn't have any effect, yet the minute any kind of power is introduced....it shuts off and stays off while plugged in.
I searched Google, read almost every sorta relevant post and have searched other forums as well with no luck. Has anyone had this problem? Has anyone solved it? What could be the problem? Any help is appreciated. :crying:

I have a hunch the battery is starting to fail. It is not a good idea to let the battery get too low, the reason being if it does then the circuity inside tells the nook that the battery is too low to function. When that happens the nook won't power on OR charge quickly. It can only trickle charge, which is why it can take a long long long time to get enough power to turn on.
If this is happening without warning, then it is because the battery indicator calibration is off. If it does flash up a battery warning turn it off right THEN (put it to sleep by pressing the power button once) and plug it in. This should keep it from powering off totally and should charge quickly.
If it keeps happening, it could be the battery needs to be replaced. There are two places to get one that I know of batteryship.com and newpower99.com both seem to come with tools to do the job.
My tablet started doing the odd phantom touches when the battery gets below 23%. I am trying to find a (real) way to calibrate it, but so far no go. But if need be I can just plug it in at 25% or so, as long as it doesn't get any worse. However from what I hear they often do.

The problem you experienced with NT CM flaky battery reading and with NT going beserk at low battery reading was discussed at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551512.
FWIW there are some battery-calibration apps but I have not tried them.
I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue. I have replaced the battery twice and did a clean install of liquid smooth and it still shuts off completely when it gets plugged in. It will fully charge while plugged in but it will not turn on at all while power is going to the battery through USB. Once unplugged it will boot normally. Really strange.

I will check out the thread, but I am running the B&N stock 4.3 currently (and rooted).
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.

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.
First of all, sorry if this isn't the right place to post this thread.
Last night i was playing TFT on my Xiaomi Mi 10 as it shut itself down without any warning.
I'm sure i had more than 20% battery left.
This device is about 1 month old, and it crashed one time before, but i could just reboot it with the power button.
This time though, no reaction.
I tried every possible combination of Volume Up/Down and Power button presses, nothing. No vibration, nothing on the screen, just plain nothing.
It literally bricked itself. I did not root it or anything similar, I just used it normally.
Any ideas on what caused this, and more importantly how to fix this? I can't believe this.

I guess, that your battery is totally empty. Put on charger and leave on it few hours long.

Call service. Sorry. If it doesn't boot into fastboot (vol-&power) things are bad...
Try plugging in your phone to a computer. I had a similar thing happen to another phone a little while ago when out of the blue it just died. I tried charging it, wireless charging it, trying power buttons etc but it instantly fixed itself when I plugged in the phone to my computer via USB. Let us know how it went.

Try different cable or check if the cable you use is working. Then press both volume up, down, and power button for at least five minutes. It might reset the phone. It happened to me once time not on the mi 10 but my rog phone 2 and I press that 3 buttons combination and the phone booted up again. I know the mi 10 might not work the same way as the rog phone 2 but you have nothing to lose to try it.
Yeah I tried using another cable, although I know this cable works (old phone). I also tried charging it via my PC, I even tried to connect to it via ADB, it didn't show up in the device list after installing the drivers.
Pretty sure I'm going to give it to service, I still got warranty and I even have insurance for it.
Because of that I don't want to open it to get the battery out and back in, although I'd really really like to know what caused this. I literally played a game and zap it goes black never to be seen again... I hope the service finds the cause and tells me.
Anyway, thank you really much for the suggestions and the help. Incase I get to know what caused this I will write it here as long as I remember to. Until then Cheers Lads.
Same here. My step-daughter purchased this phone and received it Tuesday morning. Now it won;t respond to anything.
I was handed the phone with "pcsuite.mi.com" on the screen but upon connecting to my laptop the screen went black and now won't respond to anything at all. No Recovery mode, no fastboot mode, no vibrations, nothing.
From reading reports online from other users, it seems like Xiamoi really "dropped the ball"/"shat the bed" with this model
