Hi guys,
I have two hp touchpads here a while back one of them decided to take a nose dive and will not power on - i followed the steps of charging it via usb for 1 week, touchstone for 1 week and mains also for 1 week but nothing worked and it will not power back up.
I can connect it to the pc and hold down power + volume + home and it is detected as a palm device but then when I run webos doctor it does not pick it up.
Is there anything else to try to get this thing back up and running again it seems like the pc can still see it fine but webdoctor just refuses to pick it up - is there also any specific drivers that need to be installed for it to work with hpwebdoctor I believe from reading the drivers should be incorparated into the recovery program although not 100% sure on this.
Did you try to check if the USB cable itself is bad? I once had a problem with my touchpad getting power, but all data related things did not work. Figuring that it might be the USB cable, and most of my other old USB cables were going bad, I just bought like five USB cables from monoprice, got them, and then all was well.

Same issue as OP but in my case it's definitely not the cable. My TP began to act this way after Doctor failed and TP disconnected from PC.
The screen had HP logo with chip. I messed up and reset the TP now won't start up...
By nose dive, do you mean it fell? The battery might be disconnected inside...

Apologies nah it didnt drop its just a scottish phrase meaning it broke and wouldnt power on apologies again for that lol..
h8kor I have 2 touchpads and the cable is working fine on one but no the other - Im thinking its possibly time to open it and seeing whats in there or just keep it for spares for my working one
I'm also having the same issue.
One other thing was the night before it powered off I tried to charge it with the mains from about 4% in the morning it got to 15% then i unplugged it from mains charger and back in and the charging symbol appeared but it just drained itself showing the battery warning sign and powered off.
2 or so days later i left it charging on USB and it came back to the battery symbol but still wouldn't charge via mains and it discharged again and i think i missed the window here for getting it on the touchstone for a full charge but who knows.. would be nice to have it working so i could give it to my girlfriend but at least i still have one for myself

Mine wasn't a dead battery. Mine was soft reset during WebOs doctor session and only comes up as palm in Device Mgr...so I guess I'm screwed.
I kept it off the charger for about a week, I then plugged it back in and the home button started flashing. I left it overnight and when i came back it booted into CWM by itself.

Try leaving on the charger for a few hours while off, should give it enough charge to boot up
Had this happen to me. I tried to charge it all night even and still no luck. Went to HP.com and did a live chat, after a quick troubleshoot he said they would fix it. They sent me an empty box to put the TP in, I dropped it off at ups, had it back in about a week. They called me up and asked me where I bought it from, odd because it was from hp.com, and told me it was a European version. Whatever. They sent me another one next day. Seems new.
I would try charging it overnight on the microUSB charger before starting it. It could be possible the battery drained too much. Have you also checked to make sure the charger is working. Perhaps try another USB device on it.
Problem I had was out of the box the charger didn't even show up on the screen. Tried a known working ccharger, same result. That's when I tried the menu power thing and all was working.
I tried looking and didn't find anything til about 2 minutes after posting lol.

Hi all,
Ive had my View for about 6 weeks now and it has been great. But I put it on the charger the other day after the battery had been drained down. I checked it a few hours later and the amber light is just blinking. It wont turn on or anything? Does this mean I have a new paper weight? Ive tried using different chargers and cable but nothing.
Not sure, but did you try to go into hboot and power down from there? Then stick it on the charger.
If that doesnt work, maybe pull the battery for 30 minutes then put it in and try charging (before starting it up). These are things that worked with my EVO 4G phone when it got locked up. I'm not sure how hard it is to pull the battery in this though.
Can't pull the battery. Try pushing volume down plus power for ten seconds, or until something happens. That is the hard coded method for resetting, since battery pull is not possible.

Hi guys.
Before sleeping I left the TP on the touchstone to charge and the clock appeared so I knew that touchstone was charging as it should .
Then I turned off the power button (when it was on ICS ) and when I woke up the TP was completely dead.
I tried every hard reset combination .....not working. I tried every charging method* for some minutes...not working.
I know that my original charger is working because my HP Pre3 is charging perfectly on connect and I suppose that touchstone is working as TP is getting warm on the back .
My TP is running the cm-9-20120623-NIGHTLY-tenderloin version.
I presume that is a drained problem as resets are not working. Not even the plug mark is appeared...(could it be something else apart energy drain ? )
What should I do ? I am completely lost now....
* car charger, original charger with cable, original charger with touchstone, pre3's charger even if it's not the right voltage.
When you connect the charger, do you see the home button LEDs flash/alternate? When it fully drains it takes a while before the plug symbol shows up... then again, I had a friend whose touchpad went bad and wouldn't power at all (bad battery?).

No....Not at all.
The home button never flashed even once.
But I found out today the solution.
This is the way that revived my so dead TP :
I charged for at least 15 hours the TP with a handsfree mini USB charger at 5v, 0.7mA (instead for the original TP charger of 2mA).
Then I holded the power button and pushed rapidly 15-20 times the home button.
I did the opposite holding the home button and pushed rapidly 15-20 times the power button.
I really do not know which one of these two combinations make the TP wake up.
After two-three minutes after my attempts the plug icon appeared on the screen and I rapidly connected with the original TP charger via cable. Home button was glowing for first time after days.
After half an hour moboot menu appeared and I choosed fast to boot on the webos. That's it !!
It now is charging on webos nice and easy. To be sure that I am not going to live this situation again I choosed to boot on Webos by default instead of ICS through Cyboot.
Till these wonderfull guys stabilize the ICS for the TP use cyboot to avoid such problems.
Same exact issue and rom here ... thank u so much for this thread sir....I am attempting ur fix riiiiight now ....cross fingers for me !!!!

Try to not let the touchpad's battery get drained cause I got 2 that died because it was drained too often had to call for rma twice process is quite simple if yours turns on it's a good sign just leave it on the charger
After recovering from this problem once in the past, I am currently fighting it again with less success. I've had a good year run with my Touchpad and I have no intention of sending it back or trying to fight with HP. Can anyone point me to posts where anyone has had any success removing and recharging the battery directly? I intend to keep fighting this to the end, so any suggestions on that will be appreciated.

I have had this problem only once and don't want it again. The only way I could bring it back to life was by placing on my touchstone charger and it booted and continued to charge after a couple of hours , all thanks to REVERAND Kyle.
I have had this happen too frequently. Use the steps suggested by others. Home power button slow charge. Usually the minute I get a little juice to boot I go straight to webos for the rest of charge. I wish there was an app/option to boot to webos instead off powering off or hen attached to charger. If I knew how to dev I would try it.

There is an app it's called Cyboot and can be downloaded from preware in Webos it allows you to decide what you wish to boot into and to change the delay time which I haven't decreased as Android is my start option and if I make it to low I won't be able to get back into Webos when I need to.
Hope this helps.

thats funny, my girls touchpad was doing the same thing. (though my guess its drained all the way dead for who knows how long.) But put it on the wall charger for a half hour. Pressed home button and power button for like 15 sec. and the held the power button till I saw the battery icon charging. Now its back to life.
Well kinda...
Similar to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540091
When my phone is plugged into the wall there is no charging light or anything. No white light in any senario. Last night my default battery was at about 9% so I pulled it and used my 2nd battery. No problem. Then I went home, charged the second in the phone went to put the first battery in and nothing. No matter what I do the 1st battery is completely unresponsive. I then go to put the fully charged second battery in the phone AND STILL NOTHING! Left the phone on the charger with battery 1 over night. Neither battery is working again this morning.
Both batteries should be able to boot the phone but I got nothing. Any ideas?
I was about to try the USB cable trick to prime a dead battery, but why? I have a full second battery that still isn't working
GRRRR
Are the battery contacts on the phone clean and in good condition? Could try cleaning the connector with rubbing alcohol. I really don't know what to suggest besides that. Figured I'd reply since this thread as almost 200 views but still no replies.
Hope you can get this figured out but it seems asking a question is kind of pointless now. Unless you are complaining about no ICS you won't get much of a response anymore it appears.

Well some how I had it working for the last month but its back to this again.
Last time it just started working randomly. this time, no dice. I even tried the USB splice charge thing and its not working.
I only get a white light on my photon when plugged into my computer. Nothing from the wall, and there is no way to turn it on. I'm outside of the warranty and sprint didn't have anything to help me at their store.
its been like this for two days. I'm really frustrated.
The only thing I can suggest is to find an external battery charger, and give that a shot.
This works for me.
Strip open the usb cable on your micro usb cable. Connect the positive (red) usb wire to the data neg. (white) wire.
This will be a charge only cable.
This also allows bootstrap from computer usb port.

Thanks for all the help guys, I did find a Sprint Samsung nexus S 4g off amazon for about $120. Everything seems to be working alright, sold my photon back for a measly $63 to sprint...
That said, the past few days with the nexus having android 4.1 have been great. It really makes me wish that motorola wouldn't have screwed us all over. The stability and speed of stock 4.1 on a single core SOC makes me pretty sad we couldn't have this on the photon, it would have been a beast. A few other things I enjoy more are the non-pentile screen (the AMOLED looks fantastically warmer and more saturated than my gfs bionic- the same screen as the photon) and build quality (yeah, its a plastic-y samsung and I like the build quality, that says something about the poor photon IMO) I would also recommend you put NFC on your future phones "wish-list" as well, I think it'll come in handy and I've already used it at my local walgreens.
Goodbye forever moto. I'll enjoy watching your company be liquidated at the hands of google.

Maybe the only thing to try at the moment would be the old battery drain technique... Usual means is to tape down the power button and wait days and days until it is dead, really dead ( shows nothing when connected to computer), then connect to wall charger and reboot and see what you get. This is really the ultimate "hard reset" but same result can be obtained far more quickly by removing the back and disconnecting the battery for a while to remove residual charge... Not as frightening or difficult as it might seem, have done it loads of times for various faults and to replace batteries in several tabs.

thank you sir. Im doing it now. But Im a doing it correctly? i just connected it to the computer for apx mode then after that i tape the power button so that it continuously on and off for apx mode then i disconnected it to the computer or I should leave it stay? i think it will charge if i connected it to the computer.
If you're trying to discharge by taping down power button just leave the tab on it's own not plugged into anything... Plugging into something that charges rather defeats the object of the exercise

In some cases it takes more than a day, be patient... Unless you are prepared to remove the back and unplug battery... The aim of the game is to completely power down the tab and remove residual charge in components, the "hardest" reset available.... So, two ways to achieve that is drain battery or disconnect battery... If you drain battery you must be sure it's empty to achieve desired effect then you obviously cannot restart it without charging a bit as the battery is empty, so you connect charger then try to boot, but the tricky bit is being sure the battery is completely drained otherwise you are just wasting your time... That is why battery disconnect is preferable

I had to purchase an iFixIt repair kit to get the correct driver to remove the two screws. I disconnected the battery, waited ten minutes and when I reconnected I was SO HAPPY to see the battery charging icon. I charged for a while a fired up the tablet. Everything was the same as if nothing happened. I am so happy because Samsung said they could fix the problem and it would be a flat rate of $150 which I don't have and I would lose everything.

It took me longer to remove the screws then anything. I stripped them and will need to replace them. I tried a regular screwdriver before the tri-wing screw driver and paid dearly in time. Once the two screws were removed, use a plastic pry tool starting on the bottom where the screws are because once the bottom and sides are pried lose, the top will slide over the extended audio jack.
1.5 hours to remove stripped screws
10 minutes to pry open
1 minute to disconnect battery (did not remove battery or three data cables on top of battery)
10 minutes wait for discharge
3 minutes to re-connect battery cable (it slides forward and snap down)
2 minutes to replace case

I am wondering, it has been over 15 minutes since I disconnected the battery completely, but connecting the P7500 to my laptop still shows an APX device being connected. Could there be some hardware issue preventing the device from being fully discharged?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I've got the same issue as Lightside and the original poster. Mine is a GT-P7500, which had CM10 nightly ROM with CWM recovery. I sold it on eBay, but before selling, I wiped the tablet and got it back to the Clockworkmod main screen. I turned it off completely and shipped it to the buyer, ready for it to be registered by the new user.
The buyer received the tablet and from the e-mails I received from him in the first couple of days, all was going well. Then, a couple of days later, he sent me an e-mail saying that the screen shows the android lying on its back with "Odin download" mode showing. A day later, he sends me a messaging saying that he can't turn the tablet on at all. The guy who bought it is an old man and didn't know much about fixing the issue. I asked him whether he powered the tablet off while still plugged in to the wall charger and he confirmed that he did. I asked him to return it to me and I can try and fix it, so now, I have the tablet back and it won't turn on. Here's what is happening:
1. I drained the battery using the cellotape method
2. Installed the NVflash drivers
3. Waited for the battery to drain (almost 9 days and the LED flash stopped blinking, so assumed it was completely drained)
4. Plugged it in to the PC and it immediately showed up again as a device under the USB controllers within Device Manager
5. I then unplugged the battery by opening the back of the tab, left it for 15 mins, then tried the wall charger again, but nothing. No charging icon on the screen.
When I try to press the power button, I can see the LED light up, but the screen is still blank.
Could this be a hardware issue and if so, what do you think could have caused it?
Could really do with some help here, folks! I don't want to have to give the buyer a refund because technically, he got it when it was in working condition and he probably did something to screw it up, but since he's an old man, I thought I'd try and help him, if I can.
same to me
