I tried to transfer a magazine to it and it said disk K needed to be formatted first then the disk went away. I have it plugged in w sd out, light is orange. It was asleep all night so not sure how it died. I have tried pwr+N for 10,20 secs. As of now I'll wait til the N is green and hope it turns on. I am on Albert's rom w adw/1.4.0.
be persistent
I sometimes have to power off by holding for at least a minute - worth a try anyway.
Also, if trying to power back on right away, my NT takes several power on tries - about 1-3 seconds each and can be up to 5 times?!
Hope that helps! - if it's still a problem.
Edit: see this as well
I have a 4gb micro SD card and today I had to do a battery pull because my phone decided to have one of it's 'random freeze moments' as I was downloading a song. When I turned my phone back on, my phone didn't recognize my SD card, just acted as if there wasn't one, so I took off the battery cover and pulled out the SD card and it was really hot. It was also very slightly bent out of shape and had a tiny crack across the halfway mark. I'm scared to try and bend it back because I don't wanna break it in half. Later I put it into an adapter (it somehow fit enough to slide in) and plugged it into my computer. The computer did nothing for a few minutes, so I decided to just pull it out. I put my fingers on the adapter (it's a usb cord that I can put my micro SD card in) and it almost burned my fingers off.
I know now not to be an idiot and buy a not-so-great card and to backup everything I have, but is there any way I can get the stuff on the card back or is it gone? And am I safe to put another SD card in my phone or will it turn it into a stove?
Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Me too

Almost exactly the same thing happened with my 16BG Micro SD in my Droid 4. There was no obvious crack or deformity, but my phone battery was draining really quickly so I plugged it into the USB charger. A few minutes later, when I needed to move the phone out of my way it was CRAZY hot. I could not get the phone to "wake up" and tried shutting it down and restarting it, with no success. I plugged it back into the USB cord and the green light on the phone lit up, but the computer did NOT ask if I wanted to view the contents of the attached mass storage device. It generally does that hourly while attached. I called Verizon Tech Support and after being transferred to "Tier 2" I was told a replacement phone would be sent. I got to thinking about why the phone battery was draining so quickly and remembered I had turned on ALL the GPS/Location Service options for some app I ran the night before. I thought MAYBE I could somehow get the phone to turn on just long enough to turn those battery killers off. I left it attached to the PC, twice it started to turn on (Batwing/Droid logos) but changed its mind.
After work, I plugged into my wall charger figuring it wouldn't hurt, since a new phone is due to arrive Monday. After a few hours I could turn it on while attached to the charger, turn off the location services, and it slowly began to charge. It felt hot when I unplugged it, and the battery still seemed to be draining fast. Furthermore, it said my SD card was using an unrecognized file system, and offered to format it, but failed when I agreed. Next, I tried the MicroSD card in my tablet, which could not read it. It seemed the card was quite hot upon removal 20 minutes later. I put it in an adapter, and tried it on my laptop. I could see it listed as a drive "Removable Media" but could not access it as it was "unformatted". I tried formatting it within Windows but was unsuccessful. I dropped to DOS and tried running chkdsk, but was informed that chkdsk can not run on a RAW format drive. I haven't a CLUE what an RAW formatted drive is, but plan to Google it to find out. I tried formatting,(from the command prompt) and it would get most of the way through, then tell me that then FAT sector was bad. I tried again, before removing the "very VERY hot" card and adapter. Without an SD card, the phone was cool. I put in another card, and the battery is not draining particularly fast, the device seems cool, and I learned something new about SD cards, I had thought the advantage of solid state storage was cool operation, low power consumption, and less risk of data loss or corruption. But when it fails, it seems that all three qualities degrade simultaneously, and it runs hot, eats battery power, and you lose everything on it. Live and learn.
it is better not to insert one coz I think u might go to service center and check the hardware.
Sent from moon to earth........
Based on the statements youve made, Ive come to think that it is your phones overheating battery/CPU/GPU. Is your phone under warranty?

I registered to say me too.
This is almost identical to what happened to me.
I lost some work too.
I had to reset my phone.
Shortly afterwards, the phone did an operating system update.
I posted in the off chance that someone knows how to retrieve the data from the SD card in the future
Thanks

That almost sounds like the card internally shorted so it was drawing a bunch of current which would lead to heat and battery drain issues. Flash memory is usually more reliable since its solid state but theres always the possibility of hardware failure. Was this card brand new or did it just start acting up one day? If it was relatively new I'd try getting it warrantied, since this sounds like a hardware defect.
yup.. I got a problem aftwr trying to put it on my rasp pi 3b plus.. then when i try to check or insert again on my laptop.. my 128 gb.. got hot so quickly.. i think its hardware.. but damn.. i just bought it few days back
I even bought a new Tablet cord but my nook never boots up. It has been charging for over a day. Any solution to this? Do I need to replace the power supply as well?
Not much information. Is it really off? Go to a dark place and look to see if the backlight is on. Soft purplish glow in corner. If not off then hold :N: and pwr for 20 seconds. Glow should go off. Then push pwr butto and nook should boot.
Is it stock or modded?
Post up if that isn't the trouble.
Bill
Yeah it is completely off. It was rooted before but I flashed it back to stock and unrooted it. It had been working fine and then I let the battery drain and didn't plug it back in for a few days cause I was away from home. I have tried booting it to my SD card but it won't turn on and holding N + PWR does nothing
Have you tried a bootable sd card, say CM7 or CWM? I'm grasping for straws here.
I have to think the NT will recover from a dead battery.
Bill
If it is stock, then go to a B&N store and ask if they can plug it into one of their own power cords and adapters, that are known to be functional. You should only have to wait 15 minutes or so for it to come back on, and after a few seconds of being plugged in you should be able to get the message that it is too depleted to turn on.
In fact, even if it isn't stock, I would do this. It will tell you if the problem is internal to the tablet or external in the power block. Once B&N employees see it isn't stock, they will rather rudely tell you they can't help you anymore, but at that point you've found out what is wrong so... You don't need more help. If it doesn't work, they'll never know what is on the internal memory.
I wanted to share this experience in case it happens to anyone else. I rooted my nook tablet and installed CM and everything worked great. This is a full install to the OS, not running from SD card at all, no SD card present. However, the battery ran low into the red zone and shut down the tablet. I plugged it in and it tried to start up without me even hitting the power button, as if it was in deep sleep and tried to wake up when it saw power. But, because it didn't have enough juice it would only get to the CWM menu screen and it would power cycle and start over again. I did the power/volume reset but that wouldn't shut down the tablet completely because every time I would plug it in it would try to restart again. Finally I was able to get it to run long enough to get to the CWM recovery menu and quickly choose power down option at which point it began charging without trying to restart. After I let it charge for an hour it reached about 60% at which point it started fine and has been fine since. It's a reminder to not let the battery drain too low because I'm not sure if this was a one time thing or if it is going to happen every time the battery drains low.
I had the same issue, my solution was to keep powering it on until it drained the battery completely. Finally I got a warning message that the batter charge was too low to power up. At this point you can plug it into the charger and it won't try to auto start.
I have a similar (maybe the same issue). But I have an additional one, because I am using a SD card. 2 Things to care about:
1. Use a powerful enough charger and just plug it in, it might boot cycle automatically, but at some point it will boot correctly... For me the charger of my Motorola Defy (850mA) with the original Nook charging cable works.
2. Leave the SD card removed while booting (I just "click" on it, so it is removed but still "connected" to the case), otherwise I also just get never-ending boot cycles for some reason - but maybe this SD card is "partially bootable" for some reason (though I never used it as a bootable SD card...)
Hello,
A friend of mine told me she charged her phone, suddenly the phone rebooted, loaded the SA from samsung, and got stuck.
Then the phone wouldn't charge anymore.
Initial investigation told me there was a form of oxidation on the usb charger module.
I cleaned it and I could charge the phone to 100%
I can't boot up the phone, it loads back to th SA from samsung , then goes black again, but there's a blueish light pinking on and off.
I did a "simulated" battery removal and tried to reboot in recovery.
There i first got a message : update failed with the android dead on its side, then got the recovery option.
I chose: reboot normally and i got the phone screen for about 5 seconds, then it went black again, but now with a white flashing light and the phone became very hot for a moment.
I disconnected the charger and the light kept blinking.
So i waited untill the light went out (approx 24h) then plugged the charger back in..
Tried cleaning out again , but the phone does not respond anymore.
My friend would like to recover her pictures that are stored on the internal memory card.
I'm out of ideas on how to recover the phone.
I need help, and probably a lot of it (she's very cute )
Any ideas on how to fix my/her predicament?
Many greetings
Izzy
