I have had some instances recently where upon powering down, it starts off as normal (powering down message) but then the unit stays in a semi-off mode. I notice this because I walk by later and see a faint bluish tint on the screen indicating it's still on, just appears to be sleeping. Hitting the N button does nothing. I need to press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to get it to go completely off.
ideas?
Is WiFi turned off before you power down? I saw this once and WiFi was on when I powered down. It never happens to me with WiFi turned off.
You really should state what ROM you're using whenever you ask a question. I used to have this problem when I was using cm7 when I'd leave the wifi on when turning the screen off.

So I used my nook tablet all day yesterday and this morning. I put it down to goto lunch.. came back and noticed my wifi was not on.. I checked settings and it showed "Wifi turning off" and it was grayed out and just stuck.
I've seen this before with other android devices so no biggie. I powered the unit off.
Now it won't turn back on. Holding the power button now for about 20 secs and nothing.
The battery is at like 80% and I even plugged it in to see if it helped but no good.
I did root it at 1.4.0 and used the Block OTA method with titanium backup but nobody else seems to have a problem.
Is there a way to boot in recovery or something ? Perhaps a trip back to B&N will be needed.
Ok.. holding vol down + power for around 8 secs got it back on. Weird
i have noticed this a few times. Not sure why but never lost anything

His happened to me once and I don't know what I did to get it back on. Glad that I now know, thanks.

I had a similar problem. I couldn't get the tablet to turn on. I discovered in a Kindle Fire forum that you could get the Fire to start when stuck in the off position by holding down the power button for 20 seconds. I tried that with my Nook and it started right up.
Thank! That worked! I was having the same issue. Said Wifi was turning off and all went blank and couldn't reboot. You gave me the answer.
Cheers.
I have had the wifi "turning off" issue. Rather than turn off the nook, I used the menu that you get with a long press of the power button when you install either ROM manager or titanium backup, can't remember which. It has rebooted every time without issue.
The Wifi issue is a known problem. You can set the wifi to stay awake when on the charger and this problem wont happen. Add the power widget so that you can turn the wifi off when not connectwd to the charger. This combo fixes the wifi issue. When your Nook experiences a kernel error it will appear as if it is off but if you hold it at angle, you will notice backlight is on. Just hold nook button and power and it will turn off...then power to reboot rom.

Actually, it's happened to me twice while I had WiFi set to never sleep when charging.

I rooted my Nook Tablet and it worked fine yesterday. Now it won't turn on and isn't recognized by my PC. I hear the windows alert when a usb device is connected but when I try to do anything via adb I always get 'error: device not found'.
I tried doing adb get-state and all I got was 'unknown'
I tried booting into recovery via holding the power button + n for various amounts of time, but nothing happened.
Does anyone have any ideas? It was working fine yesterday and I haven't changed anything on it since I used it last.
Hold the power button down for about 10 seconds. let it sit for a minute, then hold the power button for another 5 seconds or so and release. It should boot up. (assuming your battery is charged)

I had to do a reset (power button + Home) twice so far. Each time it happened after I left the tablet to recharge overnight. It did not turn on as it normally does when you unplug the charger.
I must admit that the (power button + Home) reset does not seem to be cut & dry. The routine quoted above worked the first time. The second time, I tried it several times then finally I tried the pwr button by itself and it went on.
Mine just did this Power and vol down got it running again.
Hello, my name is Udi. I have recently bought an ASUS Transformer Prime.
Last night I turned it on, it started loading showing the ASUS icon, and then the screen turned black. The device is working (sounds of E-mails, for example), but the screen is blank. Only some backlight is visible. Touch is working.
I am able to turn it off, after pressing the power button for 2 seconds, by guessing the position of the "yes" when it asks me if I want to turn the device off.
I tried reseting using the power button and the volume down button, but it doesn't work.
HELP ANYONE???

Sounds like a bad display cable, take it back and exchange it for a new one.

probably returning it on monday to ASUS support. thank you
Sometimes, when I press power button to turn on my screen, just capacitive buttons turn on, but the screen doesn't. And I do it few times again after it, still nothing, just buttons turn on and off. Only solution is to remove the battery and restart phone that way, which is quite annoying if happens often.. Any solution to this? Thank you.
It happens on my HD2 too. It's related to Wi-Fi - turn it off before pressing power button.

Any other solution? Because turning wifi off every time when I turn off do screen would be a big job- especially if I use phone for chatting and srceen is on-off like every 30 seconds, who would turn wifi on-off so many times...
My phone Micromax a210 isn't turning on at all.
I was uploading some video to What's app. And suddenly i had to press the home button. Then, my phone gets Hanged up!
Then, i though just pressing the lock button and unlocking it will bring back. But to my surprise, the phone locked (Screen off) and doesn't turn on at all.
There is no way to remove battery too. It had some 50% battery in it. I even tried charging it. But doesn't turn on at all. It had it CHARGING LIGHTS ON when i plugged in the power source. But, phone doesn't turn on.
I'm not pretty sure whether it had shut down or that application is killing it.
Please give me some ideas to bring back my phone. It's a new one. Just 3 days old :crying:
Hold your power button and both your volume buttons simultaneously for about 10secs

So I opened an app then the phone got really not slow but it would load like every 10 seconds. I tapped the homescreen and the display just turned off and the buttons are lit but the screen display isn't. When I press the button on the top it wont come on if I hold the top button the capacitive touch buttons flash. I started charging it but then took it off the charger hoping it would die. So now the buttons are lit and it has the orange charging light on but its not charging and the display isn't on and not working and I don't know what to do please help
Hold the power and both volume buttons.... You will see your lights flash again , theyll flash like 12 times or so and then totally shut off. This is a forced shut down. Then just try to press the power button and turn it back on like normal.
