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.
Moved To Q&A
We now have a Q&A section. Please post all questions there
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.
ZTE Concord II (Z730) hard bricked
Phone was fully charged, gave error messages (don't recall details, but basically basic apps refused to work), was non-responsive -> turned phone off to get out of error messages, since then phone does not turn on
- tried 4 sec power button -> no response
- tried 30 sec power button -> no response
- tried 30 sec power button PLUS volume-up button -> no response
- plugging phone into charger does not activate charging indicator light
- plugging phone into windows computer activates 'new-device' sound, but phone does not show up in drive list
- took out battery and put back in, no changes in above attempts
Thank you very much for anyone who can help.
my lg v30 plus suddenly blackout but phone is working all calls notifications sounds are coming. there is no prior sign of any problem. nothing feels in darkness, battery disconnect and connect again no sign appear even of charging or logo or download mode etc. i reconnect the LCD cables but all in vain
any suggestions please
most important is that i charge my phone the battery is 32% and about after ten minutes i disconnect it not see what is the position and put it in my pocket after one hour i found the phone blank screen
Just now my V30 had its first total screen blackout. I logged on here prior to checking whether anything was working (tried hooking up USB-C charging and Qi charging; phone would have been on silent mode so I don't know if calls / notification were working, didn't bother checking any Bluetooth connections etc.).
Anyhow, the fix was long press volume down + power button for about 10 seconds. Power button alone wouldn't do it. Back in action.
tried button combination but nothing

i think there is a capacitor which may be short
Hi Everyone,
My samsung galaxy s6 was in the charger and at the same time I was using it as a hotspot for my laptop. After few hours I disconnect my phone from charger but it still had the solid green light and the screen was dark no button was working, but I still had internet in my laptop. I tried pressing volumn down+powerkey for minutes but nothing happend. I just heard some beeps.I also tried volumn up + power key + home button still nothing happend and then I tried pressing all four buttons still nothing happened. I just lost internet in my laptop. I connected it to charger and tried all above but no luck. I disconnect it again and after few hours, green light went off and I tried pressing those buttons again but still no luck. I downloaded ADB, but adb devices shows no device. My phone doesn't ring when I call myself. Please help!
my phone is rooted with Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26
but today it start to turn off after each call
when i get home trying to turn it on it won't start, tried flashtool but no respond when i connect the phone while down volume key is pressed.
when i connect to charger the red light turn on for few seconds then show the Sony logo screen and stuck there no respond to power button and the red light is off while it's stuck on that screen it doesn't even showing charging as it suppose to do while the phone is off
when i press volume up key + power key the screen goes off and the red light is on but the screen won't turn on when i press the power button again
any one with an idea to fix it?
update: ok after many tries i been able to flash it with flashtool with that D6503_23.5.A.1.291.ftf
but still can't turn it on
when i connect the charger it show charging like 18% and when i leave it for while it show 0%
i disconnect the charger try to open nothing
then connect the charger again it shows 25% and i leave it for few seconds then it shows 100% but when i try to press the power button it shows empty charging battery icon while the phone is still off
what could be the reason ?
ok i manage to flash it with stock firmware
but still turning off randomly or restart randomly
and when it turned off i can't turn it on again unless i connect it to charger and when i do it keep blinking red led and sony logo on and off
is that hardware failure or battery failure or software failure ?

Sorry for delay, as you said, It's faulty battery.
