[Q] Won't wake up after a few hours - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My transformer wakes up fine after a minute or two, but if I leave it for 5-10 minutes and hit the power button, nothing happens
I can long press, then press again (rebooting), but I can't get the darn thing to "wake" back up after some downtime
any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?

Mine just went to sleep and i can't even get it to re-boot.
Had it less the 24 hours and now seems dead when on 90% battery
Any idea's?
kk it is re-booting when held down for about 15 secs, when i plug in to the PC with usb and how the power down you get the disconnect noise to say it is powered down.
Odd its getting stuck in sleep as it was on sleep having charge all last night and woke up fine this morning.

Just want to make sure you are rebooting correctly ... hold the power button down for 5 seconds then let go and wait for a couple seconds, then hold it down for a couple seconds to turn it back on

yer just the 5 secs feels like forever when it wouldn't turn on. :S
I hate it when your new toy's act dead.

Not sure it's related, as I don't have my Transformer yet (thursday or friday it should be here!), but I had a similar issue on an Archos 101. Turning off the screen timeout resolved it.
Seems like when you put it into 'sleep' by tapping the power button, if you let it sit longer than the screen timeout was set, it would, well, turn off the screen... and you couldn't turn it back on.
Had to do the whole 'hold the power button for X seconds' to force it off, then turn it back on.
Just wondering, might be something to try - turn off the screen timeout and see if it wakes up OK.

Trust me bud, I know. And what's worse, you can't return this one and get a new one due to supply issues (you would have to wait a long time for your replacement)
I also have some light bleed issues, those I can live with... this I cannot

[Q] Help Needed : Can't turn on?

My Transformer was working fine, battery fell below 9% so I put it to sleep and plugged it in...
Now the device will not turn on, back of unit is getting warm?
Well, the warmth will be the battery charging. No issue there.
See one of the half dozen threads about not turning back on.
It came back to life, after holding the power button still seemed dead, then i plugged in a HDMI cable and it turned on.
My power button is finicky... every thing else seems perfect...

Mine does this. You have to power off completely. To do that, you must hold the power button for more than 10 seconds to turn it off. Wait a bit, then power it back on by holding the power for 5 seconds.
I've searched around and people say it's the lock screen that causes the screen to blank. But I don't think that was it, I disabled it and it still does it.
Next someone says it has something to do with WiFi, I don't think this is right also because it has happened at times when I had the wifi OFF.

Are you saying before charging you power it off completely or always?

No I'm saying to do that when your screen is blank and can't turn on

wont turn on unless its plugged in

hey guys i just got my transformer today. a couple of times i shut it off and when i try to turn it back on it wont work unless i plug it in, even though the battery is above 90%
I have a very similar issue.
I have the B40 model, when I shut down, I can't turn back on. I have been leaving my TF on all day then just shut down at night and when I come to turn on in the morning, iit is fine. Today I had to restart due to wifi constantly saying it was turning off for no reason, upon shutting down, it wouldn't power back up. I hav left it for approx 1 and a half hours, still nothing. Doesn't make any difference if it is plugged in or not. My battery is full.
Really could do with some help with this issue, as it is really spoiling what I regard as a brilliant device.

Once you plug it in and it come on, does it stay on when you take the charger off?
Once on and you hit the power button does it do anything?
You might have a faulty power button IMO.
I don't know about Krueger, but mine doesn't do anything when you plug it in. I have to wait a few hours. When I last shutdown, I was trying to restart, it just never did. I had full charge. I can't even get into APX mode. My TF is stock unrooted. Power button works just fine when tablet is on, does exactly as it should.

I've seen reports of peoples getting this "deep sleep" and not able to turn it on easily. Not sure if there's a definite fix or not. Some peoples say they have good luck turning of the lock screen, some say they fixed it by factory resetting the tablet.

Cheers m8.
I will give this a try when I can turn it back on again. Its been approx 6 hrs now since I tried to restart it. I will have to wait till morning I think. When it has done it previously, I have left it on charge all night, even though there was more than half in it each time, and it seems to start up after about 7 - 10 seconds of holding the power button in.
Thanks again

So I have spent 15 mins listening to the back of the device while trying toturn on. From what I can hear it sounds like a quiet jet engine firing up for approx 1-1 and a quarter seconds then sounds like the jet engine turning off (I know this sounds wierd, but best way I can describe). Its almost like there isnt enough power to fire it all the way up. There also other noises going on even when I dont try and turn it on, so I don't think it is fully turned of. Maybe a deep sleep issue. I did notice on this occassion, befor I tried to restart that I had no internet connection and when I went to check wifi settings it said Wifi is turning off. I leave it set to default.
Thanks

Phone doesn't turn on unless it's plugged in and then it keeps rebooting every 2 seco

My phone has been acting weird the past couple days. It would randomly reboot but when it rebooted, I would have to hard reset it for it to completely boot up. For the past couple days it would happen a couple times a day. Today it was doing it almost every hour. I was just waiting to get home from work so I could back up the phone and wipe and then it just turned off. I couldn't get it turned back on. When I plugged it into the charger it turns on the Google logo and then reboots over and over again. When I unplug it, it shuts off. I can't even get it to boot into recovery or bootloader because it keeps rebooting every couple seconds.
Just a guess, but I think you're power button is shorting out. See what others think.

Yea I've seen it in another post. That doesn't explain why the phone keeps rebooting as soon as I plug it in. But I have noticed that for the past couple days, the power button was becoming really sensitive as in I would hit the power button to turn the screen off and then it would immediately turn the screen back on. But if its a hardware issue then there's nothing I can do but contact Google to send me a replacement.

I think as soon as you plug it in the battery gets enough charge that it boots but then the power button shorts out and it reboots

I tried tapping on the phone by the button and it turns on the phone for a little bit. Same thing if I wiggle the power button. I'm convinced that's the issue.

Black screen?

so out of no where, my opo decides to not turn the screen on?
when I press the power button, I see the hardware buttons light up but I see nothing on screen. It's just black.
The led turns on when I plug it in.
Got any idea what to do?
Long press power and force your phone to turn off. Then turn it back on. You're having a sleep of death issue.

I've had this issue for several weeks, even on the new build. I wish there was a fix for this because it happens to me almost twice a day. I just wonder if flashing a new kernel would help.

I had to hold down power and volume down button for about 10 secs and turn it off.
Turn it back on and voila

Do I have a defective HD 10?

I have a rooted HD 10 2017 and, once in a while, it will not wake up from standby on its own. My understanding is that when you close the lid from the case it goes to standby. There are times when I open it, it stays a black screen. Pressing the power button for over 20 seconds does not wake it up. The only way to wake it up is to attach AC power to it and then it hard reboots.
Is this normal behavior or should it get looked at? I got it last Thanksgiving Black Friday sale for $99.

Not normal behaviour, maybe try a factory reset? Sometimes, very strange things happen after rooting the Fires, maybe because they are not like other tablets.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to flash stock, and if even that doesn't work, ask Amazon for a replacement.
