Hi guys,
I haven't used my G watch for about a month. The watch screen shows nothing until I put it on the dock, and then it shows the battery symbol (which looks like a full battery.) I take it off, and nothing. Pressing/holding the reset button on the back, nothing. Does not connect to my phone either.
Anyone have any ideas on why this is happening, and how to fix it?
Thank you!

my battery ran out, and i tried to force it to start up again
then it shuts off by itself again
then i charge the battery
pop it in, but it still wont turn on
anyone else had this problem before?
This happened to me once, and it must have fix itself or something, any solutions?
How far does it get? Do you see the vibrant white text? Do you leave it plugged in when you tried turn it on?
I hope this is the right sub-forum to open this thread if not please movie it.
Half an hour ago I Got the 9.4.2.15 firmware update from asus. after the update was applied my prime asked me if I want to turn it off....I approved and the device shut down and stayed off.I tried to turn it on and nothing happened.
When I applied the update I had more then 80% of the battery.
I plugged the phone to the charger and the charger light on the power button changed from orange to green
While the Prime was charging(and after it was fully charged) I tried to do some stuf
I tried to press the on button and nothing happened and no vibration.
I tried to hold the on button for about 30 seconds and the only thing that happened is that I got a vibration(the same you get when you turn on your device).
I tried to reset the device with the reset hole near the microsd with a needle and nothing happened.
I tried holding the power button and the volume button(once the up and the other time the down) and nothing happened except the vibration after about 10 seconds.
ANY IDEAS?
*my biggest problem is I purchased the Prime from "Amazon US" and I don't leave in the us...How If I need do I use my ASUS warranty.who do I connect?
Thanks.
Try draining the battery completely then charging it back up. Then try to boot it up again. You might have a glitch or bug. Its always good after an update is applied to let it update then it reboots itself. After it loads back up,go into home screen. Then **** down device and cut back on. This will eliminate anything happening from rogue codes.

*By the way I have the option to take the prime to a shop that could fix it, I am sure the problem is a software bug and not hardware...Should I try doing this because ship it to asus ans back will take about 3-4 weeks.
Try a hard reset and if that doesnt work do a search for this (EP201_SDUPDATE.ZIP)

I am unable to do "Hard reset" because the device do doesn't start, after pressing the power button nothing happens the screen stays black. the onle response I get from the device is vibration(after I hold the power button for about 10-12 seconds).
I don't think that "EP201_SDUPDATE.ZI" will help because I don't have accesses to my bootloader
Did you happen to drop the device or bang it pretty hard? If so, could be a chance the connector to your display is loose and device is actually on but the screen is off. Best way to check this is to connect your prime to your t.v. thru HDMI. Then try to cut it on. If something displays on your t.v. but screen still won't cut on, then connector came loose from your display. That is the best way to check. Plus you could also operate tablet like that.
Nope,didn't drop or hit it.
Unfortunately I don't have HDMI cable that connects to the prime.
your idea is good but even without the cable I am sure it's not the problem...but lets say that it is the problem...then if the device is actually on I should be able the hear the sound it makes when I use the volume buttons and when I receive new emails...the thing is I am unable to produce any sound from the device.
I just applied my update and it didn't ask me if I wanted to power down, it did itself. Did you power down when it was starting to install?
My screen did say "power down" but I knew it would do it itself.
Maybe like doing a battery pull during a flash?

Maybe you are right and for some reason I turned the device off while it was in the middle of the update... so 5hat means as you said that I interupted the flash process...in this case the problem is the software of the device ...could I do somthing to fix it without going with it to a lab?

You might try inserting a pin or a paperclip into the reset hole next to the micro SD port.
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
I decided to try and fix my prime one last time before I use the warranty. so I took a needle SMALLER one then I used the first time I tried to "Hard reset" the prime and inserted it into the hole near the microSD port....and this time I felt a "click"...I pressed for about 10 seconds and then released and the screen turned on
I immediately got the screen withe the open green robot and with a blue line under it that showed me that the update was applied....then the screen changed to the screen you get when you turn on the device(asus symbol and tegra3 symbol) and again I got a blue line showing me that the update is going on.
After the blue line went foreword to 100% it disappeared from the screen and I was left with the screen you get when you turn on the device(asus symbol and tegra3 symbol).
I have waited for about 20 minutes and nothing happened....I turned off the device with the power button and then turned it on again(this time the device responded after 1-2 seconds)...I got a vibration and the screen was on(asus symbol and tegra3 symbol). after a few seconds the screen changed to another screen( another ASUS symbol with a turning circle under it) after about 8 seconds my device was fully working all my data was present(didn't reset with the needle should have deleted everything?) and my software number was 9.4.2.15,so the update was fully applied.
I tried turning on and off the device for a few times and had no problems with it.
So basically the device is working and I have no idea what was the problem
The tip i got for everyone trying to reset the device with a needle/paper clip....YOU HAVE TO FEEL THE CLICK
that's awesome! Congrats!
These are expensive toys (in my case addiction).
Maybe it was a bad flash which can be really spooky if you're not rooted with a custom recovery.

Hi there
I have used this tablet without bigger problems for months. a few days ago I've turned it on and after a few minutes using it the device froze completely. then the screen turned black after a few seconds, power led off. I've tried to reset it by pressing power button long and nothing happens, display black, led off.
Everytime I plug it in, the power led turns on, but nothing else happens.
Today I've opened the device and found out the batteries are at 2.8V. I've then charged them with my Lipo charger (had to desolder it, charge and then resolder). Still nothing works. And if there's no battery connected the exact same happens like with the batteries in place: nothing exept green led turns on.
So, why did this happen and how can it be fixed?
Thanks
same thing happened
hi,
exactly the same thing happened to me. Did you manage to solve the problem?
I also tried to empty the batteries and then to re-start, no success. The LED will light for a couple of minutes then turns off, but nothing else happens afterwards, the screen remains black all the time.
Resetting the device also doesn't work, the screen won't turn on, not even in the recovery mode.
I would appreciate any help on this issue.
ori
still dead
Nope, unfortunately I could never fix it so it's just laying around collecting dust as a expensive paperweight...
I wore the watch last Friday and all was fine. This morning I put it on and the screen was black. Tapping the screen and pushing button didn't have any affect. I haven't had any issues before with the watch. If I put the watch on the charge and hold down the button it display she battery symbol that shows it full.
Any thoughts on how get it to turn on?
Thanks.

Try to wipe clean the gold contact points on both the watch and the adapter,
also try using different chargers and cables.
Try plugging it to the PC and run adb and type adb devices and see what you get.
My Urbane has been having similar issues lately. The contacts look clean but again today I get to work and have black screen and it won't turn on. Is there a way to restart it using a paper clip? Old G watch (I think) has a button on bottom for reset so I thought maybe there someone found a combination of shorting the contacts on Urbane that would cause a reset/restart (not factory reset, just want to wake it up). Thanks!
My LGW2 occasionally does not turn on at first. I have cleaned the contacts and have no problems with the charging process but I have noticed that if I turn the watch off at night with less than a 80% charge left on it then that is when this problem usually occurs. It usually takes multiple attempts to get the watch to boot up and I try to connect the charger but the watch does not immediately go into the charge mode. There does not seem to be any set procedure to get the watch to boot up. I really do not want to do a factory reset if possible but I will do that if it is necessary. If anyone has any suggestions on this, I would like to hear them. Thanks.
Hey guys!
So i have this unusual problem with my phone. The phone won't turn on, but when i plug it in the charger it shows the battery icon with the little "loading" circle in it. It does that constantly when plugged in, icon is on the screen for a few seconds then the screen is all black, it goes like that untill I unplug it.
I thought that the phone was broken, but today while it was plugged in i saw the real charging animation and it said that the phone had 50% of battery so I quickley pressd the power button and it turned on normally. After that i turned the phone off and back on again, everything worked perfectly. So i tried turning it off again and pulling the battery out. Now it wont start again.
The firs time it happend I was using the phone and it freezed, so i pulled the battery out and then it happend.
The phone is running latest version of cm11 donwloaded from cm website.
I hope that somebody knows the answer to my problem.
Thanks in advance!

The battery is new
I'm might know what happening with your phone, and i don't know the final solution either, but you can use your phine with a little bit of effort, just plug your phone to charge and open download mode (press power key, home key , vol down key simultaneously)
And let be in that position for 5-10 min and then press cancel. Then it will show your device name for real long...... wright there for 5-10 min again and it will be working again, don't let it go off again or do same procedure if it goes off, you may have problem with your sensor's, wanna stable solution?
