Ran out of battery and will not turn on - Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Two nights ago I forgot to charge my Nexus and when I woke up this morning, it didn't turn on or even flash the 'notification' light. I have been charging it for over 36 hours but it still hasn't turned on. No battery icon comes up and the light never flashes. What can I do?

On my 'old' Nexus 7 (2013) I have had the same experience once. I did manage it to get it on holding the power button for at least 60 seconds (!). Maybe this solution will work on the Nexus 9 ?

No, unfortunately it still didn't turn on

Unplug it and plug it back in a couple times, then try pressing and holding power + volume down to see if it gets into bootloader. If it does, select reboot / boot system and see what happens.

Sometimes charging for 24hrs off a usb1 or USB 2 computer port that only supplies 500 maH will bring a battery back to life.

For those still searching for a fix:
Hold both the volume buttons and the power button at the same time for 2 minutes.
leave the tab, and then after a minute, plug it on charge. it will start charging

Try another charger cable, it worked for me ?

pull battery then put it back in then connect to the stock charger and let it sit for 10-15min then start it up
in the future try not to let it get below 5%, i've heard the 3d has issues initiating a charge on fully drained batteries

Did not work, on the stock charger it just flashes the led light and doesnt charge, I'm still on my 30 day so ill bring it back and say it has a defective battery/charge system, no need to tell them I'm rooted
try plug in your pc and do a
adb reboot-bootloader

If the battery is completely dead the red led will blink for a little bit until it gets a little juice built up and then it will turn solid red. Definitely don't think your bricked. I've had this happen several times on the 3D and the 4G.
Hello guys, I'm experimenting the same issue! It was working like a charm, then I left without simcard in airplane mode, but with wifi on.
When out from wifi coverage, it turned off (maybe because of the battery drain) and can't bring it back to life!
This is just incredible, I can't believe there is no way to wake up it.
I'm trying to charge with its charger, with PC connection and nothing happens: red light for a little while and everything off again after a couple of seconds ... I'm getting nervous :-(
Take the battery out, plug it in wait till the red light goes off, 5 seconds. Now press the camera button... Phone will turn on

Touchpad no longer turns on

Hi Everyone,
About 20 mins ago, my Touchpad running CM7 Alpha 2 suddenley stopped responding (the touchscreen that is), so i held down the power button to turn it off.
However, it wont turn back on! I have tried Home + Power + Vol Up for more than 30 seconds about 3 times and nothing. I am charging atm and nothing on screen. I have also tried holding the power button for about 10 seconds. Nothing!
Any suggestions?

Home + Power button for around 20 seconds should bring it back to life.

Sounds like your moboot has some problems when you forced shutdown it, try go to the webos recovery statue (the statue when you install CM7 into your TP), connect TP to your PC and reinstall moboot, or the whole CM7 if that doesn't work.
Good luck

Same problem! Did you find a solution yet? I'm trying to figure out how to follow tigerdavid's advice.
Ok follow-up on this - I can't even get the TP to be recognized by my computer. What now?
How long did you leave it plugged in i had to leave mine plugged in for a couple of hours into the wall outlet before it would show the batter charging icon then turned on shortly after that

hi,when your tp is in the off statue,try holding both the power and the volume up botton, and then you can see a usb icon on your screen, that is the webos recovery mode.

When you are in the webos recovery statue, the one I said in the last post (there is a usb icon on the screen), you can connect it to the computer, and neglect windows' response as it cannot recognize it, because it is actually a false warning. Then try following the steps for installing CM7.
had the same problem yesterday. just held power+home til it said to release the buttons.(previously i released as soon as the hp globe came up and it turned back off) hope this helps
When all else fails try this:
Hold power, Volume Down, and Home until the HP logo appears. May take up to 30 seconds or longer. Release all three buttons and the Touchpad should then boot. Worked for me the one and only time I've had to use it.
I charged Touchpad's battery full and turned it off about a month ago. Now I tried to turn it back on, nothing happens.
I plugged in usb charger, button under display started blinking. After 10mins, tried to turn it on, display turned on and it said attach own charger to get best results... blaablaa.. and then turned back off
Now it has been on own charger over an hour, in the beginning button blinked again for a while. Now it's all black and nothing happens. Tried power, pwr+front btn, pwr+vol up, pwr+front btn+vol down. Nothing.
Maybe I just haven't given enough light treatment?? I'm getting worried..
edit: overnight at charger, no change... battery dead? This sucks.

Bummer. I don't think it's good to let a Li-Ion battery fully discharge. I've had bluetooth headsets and older spare laptop batteries die because they were sitting in a drawer for months. It sounds like this is what may have happened to your Touchpad. You should have left it plugged in somewhere!

Yeah, that's what seems to have happened. I just dont digest the idea that it died in 3 to 4 weeks. In standby, yes, but in off state.. if this happened after months, but we are talking only few weeks.
Any idea where to get a spare battery? Ebay show zero results.
Swyped from sgs2
It isn't likely its the battery, probably some kind of internal failure, but even if the battery is stone cold dead you should still be able to plug it in and run it that way.
You can change another microusb cable to re-charge again, b'cas the original cable quality is not good. Led blinking shows that battery is in low capacity, TP will bootup after charging to minimum battery voltage.
HP Back in life..
Got it working...
I let it be a week without any trying. Then plugged it's own charger on and the home started blinking again and after a while battery image came up! So it was in some sort of hang situation and needed to drain the battery again.
I did that also first time but at that time it just stopped blinking home and did nothing after that.
Now few hours later it's turned on and charging, 45%..

[Q] First time use - Won't power on?

Just got my prime, plug it in to the wall charger, and it flashed on for a second and showed a red battery icon and then the screen turned off.
I've had it charging for close to an hour now, and it won't turn on.
When plugged in to the wall, i have an amber light on the power button. Tapping power, or holding it down for 10,20,30 seconds doesn't do much, but the amber light will blink a few time.
If unplugged from wall, nothing at all. No light or power.
Am I just being too anxious and it needs to charge for 8 hours before it will even boot up or what?
I plan on letting it charge for 8 hr, but figured I could turn it on and check it out while attached to the power outlet.
What has/was your experience?
Thanks!

That's normal.just leave it plugged in for an hour or two then try again.
Thanks - was able to get it to power on - just showed the battery screen again and shut off. So I just need to chill and let it charge.

help! phone wont turn on!

I tried pulling the battery out and volume down + power but it does nothing!
Did you run out of battery? I usually have to charge about ten minutes before it turns back on.

Ye its still not turning on
When you plug it in does the red light come on or stay lit all day long? Could be a bad battery that isn't holding a charge. If you had it plugged in all day and it didn't turn greeen.

I tried to flash a rom and when I came back I noticed my phone wouldn't turn on. It was fine charging the whole day. Now when I plug it in I get the red light for a second then it goes blank.
Nvm I ended to do some crazy random button and pulling my usb and it turned on? o.o
Ok nevermind. It won't turn on again...
Bit of a random 1 but put it on charge for about a minute unplug remove battery replace battery charge for a minute again and repeat this process a few times then unplug hold power and camera or power and volume down. Odd but it worked for me.

I had either the same or a similar issue a few months ago. I think I fixed it by pulling the battery while it was still plugged into the charger. I'm not exactly sure what it was because I was just trying everything I could think of when I got it to work again. Might help, might not, but it might be worth a shot.

[Q] Issue with Sony Z2 (red light notification blinking 3 times)

Hello,
Can somebody assist me with a problem I have with a friend's Sony Z2. I'm not very familiar with this phone and I have an issue with one.
It had the screen replaced because it was broken and before putting the last screw I turned it on to see if it works. I needed to put on charge because the battery was 1%. It worked perfectlyand then I disconnected it from charge, removed the battery flex cable to mount the phone back and when I finished it, I tried to turn on, but unsuccesfully.
All it does now is, every time I push the power button, the notification light is blinking red 3 times. Nothing more. If I keep Power and volume up is doing nothing, unless I put it on charge (on charge and power+volume up is vibrate 3 times too). I have nothing on screen. Reset button (the one inside SIM slot) makes the phone vibrate 3 times. The pc detects the phone 1-3 seconds and then nothing, I don't see it in my device management. I tried with another battery and same issues.
Any idea how to fix it ?
Thank you.
let it charge for 10 -20 mins
if not check battery flex
i feel its battery low or not connected proper

Thanks for the answer mate.
It was 2 nights on charge and still nothing. Also the notification light remains red while charging ? It shouldn't turn green when the charge is complete
Did you check flex?

The flex comes with the battery. Since I tried a new battery, I guess isn't the flex cable.
Sadly that's all I can say
