Just to help others that may encounter this problem.
Our company just bought us all the ASUS Tf101 32gb and of course out of all these you know there will be issues. These are the B60 series also.
We had one out of the box the guy started setting it up and the touch response stop working. I tried wiping it with the holding the vol down and pwr up. No luck.
Well I read to just let it drain the battery and I did that and the fastest way to drain the battery is to power it up holding the vol down key and just let it sit. It will stay in the mode waiting for you to confirm wipe. That seems to keep the back lite on and will drain the battery faster. It took over night to drain the battery (I wish my ThunderBolt had a battery like this) and then when I plugged it back in it worked.
Updated to 3.1 and still working...

This morning, I had noticed my G Tablet had been running sluggishly. So I thoight it was just that wakeup bug, but then when I shut it off and tried to restart it, I saw nothing on the screen - at all. I could not even get it into APX mode to see if using nvflash would somehow bring it to life. But I did notoce one thing. When the adapter was plugged in, the charging light would flash red. Is there anything that I can do? I dont want to return it, seeing as theyre in stock virtually nowhere.
My evo does something very similar when it turns off because the battery is 'totally' dead. When I plug it in, the charging light flashes until there is some minimal charge on the battery (maybe enough to turn it on), then the light goes solid and my evo charges normally.
Try plugging it in and just letting it charge, then see what happens.

I think it's frozen. I've had the same thing happen to me. If so, then you have two options:
1- Open up the back of the device and hit the reset button on the system board. Yes, there's a button in there for some bizarro reason. I assume this is not really an option for you, but wanted to mention it.
2- Leave the device unplugged and wait for the battery to completely drain (this takes about 24 hours). Once it's drained, plug it back in and hit the power switch and it should start up fine.
When this happens, the long press on the power doesn't seem to fix it. Our device really need a reset button on the outside of the device. Ugh.
Tried the opening thing - It doesn't work. So today I sent it back to Amazon for a refund. You know damn well I'm gonna buy myself another one! I'm mad though, it cost me $399 before, and now it went up to $419.
Sears.com has it for $379.

When you plug it in, does the charging light come on?
How long have you tried holding the power button for? 10-15 seconds should give you a full reboot...but if nothing happens then it could be frozen, in which case you will have to let it sit until it drains.
no power
yes..when i plug it in the red lite is on...i have held the power button for 10 to 15 seconds and tried power plus volume up..still nothing
I second the "Letting it sit until the battery drains" worked for me once.
how long
thanks for the quick reply..one last ?...how long does it take to drain battery completely?

Depends on how much charge it had to begin with. I would guess about 10-15 hours with full charge. If you get really impatient and dont want to wait, you can take the back cover off and push the reset button.

From 85%, assuming your battery stats are correct then I'm going to say it won't be drained fully until maybe tomorrow evening or night and even then it may still have juice. The problem is we don't know what state it's frozen in. Is it frozen with the processor speed reduced? Is it frozen because there's a rogue app and it's flexing the processor? No idea.
VS REALLY dropped the ball with not having a removable back plate as well as no access to the reset button.
Ah well.
Good Luck.
Try volume down then power button. This worked for me once.
let us know how it goes
You may of already tried this, but....
Did you try holding the power button for 15 - 20 seconds? If so letting it completely drain may be you only option left.
Update you ROM to one of the newer ones. I have read of this happening to others running one of the older ROMs.

Last night my Xoom went into sleep mode after I had looked something up as usual. When I went to use it again, it was dead. Absolutely nothing. Plugging in the power cord never showed it getting a charge. I seriously thought it was dead for sure.
Solution:
Hold power button and volume up button and system came back to life...sort of. I got the motorola logo but at the top of the screen it said something like Starting RSD Protocol 3 and just sat there. Release both buttons, did the same procedure and she roared back to life and is working fine now.
Just thought I would share that in case it happens to anyone else.
Same happened to me about a week ago; My Xoom turned off and would not come on or even start to charge when I plugged it in, I was freaking out, then I accdently hit vol up while trying power for the mill time and it turned on...
Just hold down the power button in it will do the same but just don't load in bootloader

Mine just rolled over and played dead as well. I had about 3 quarters charge, put it in sleep mode and then nothing. Holding down the power button did nothing as well. And like the OP, I had no charge indication when I plugged it in.
The volume up and power combination did bring it back to life. I want to clarify for others who encounter this that just holding the power button alone did nothing.
Sadly I had to look up the fix on my wife's iPad2.
Fortunately she was not home to see that...
Did you flash a kernel? I had the same issue with a kernel I flashed from the Ubuntu thread in the dev section. I flashed to a Tiamet kernel and it went away. Before that I flashed the stock images and then the kernel.
I think its kernel related.

Sorry. It was bad form of me to leave out the OS . Mine is a factory stock Verizon.
I had a similar issue with mine a few weeks back. Battery was at about 50%, plugged it in to charge when I went to bed and woke up and it was completely dead. It took me almost a half hour to get it to start charging again so I could power it on. I didn't do anything fancy with it, no power / vol up magic, it just suddenly decided to start charging again and would power on. I still have no clue as to what the root cause was to my problem, only happened once and no issues since.
I'm running a stock 3.1 ROM and kernel but rooted.
Same thing happened to me last night. Plugged in before bed and wouldn't power up in the morning. I freaked as my Xoom is less than a week old. Power + vol up was the only solution. Strange, but judging by this post this seems to be a trend, hopefully one that will not be a regular occurrence.
Running stock rooted rom with Tiamat kernel conservatively set to 1.2 ghz, although it seems this problem isn't confined to a particular kernel. Wifi only HMJ37 (US) model - It would be handy if everyone with problem reports with their hardware version and kernel etc so that any trends may be documented.

deceased xoom, no charge light but charger was warm as if charging, so held power button and volume UP for probably 10 secs & BADDA BING! power up as normal1:laugh:
Its not Really a problem as the phone runs fine, but i was wondering if anyone else has seen this, it happens on every rom i have put in since root and downgrade, if i power it off it reboots normally
Also if i Pull the battery and put it back it Auto powers on

Is your power button maybe recessed or stuck? Could be causing it.
You can follow me on Twitter - @NotSo1nter3stin
If it means aything it feels fine and passes CWM button test just fine.. It still has that slight click to it
EDIT: Ok upon checking again, as i haven't actually tried in a while it dosen't straight reboot, it reboots to recovery/CWM, the only reason i want ti to power down it to do a full charge on the battery, now i have been told this is frivolous but hey my battery is old, got the Shift when it first came out and it still last two plus days on a charge

You get two days out of an original battery . I would be very happy about that. If what your saying is that when you power down, and then plug it in to charge it reboots into Recovery. Then that is normal, it happens a lot on rooted devices ( not all but a good portion ). As for your device just rebooting as soon as you stick the battery back in. I'm going to have to agree with notso on this and say something is wrong with your Power button. It should not be doing that. I had that happen on a Shift that had been dropped. Turned out the Power button was damaged. It was stuck half in. Which caused a bunch of weird things.
Well then I guess I cant complain, but yes I get more then 48 hours from a charge, I charge it over night every other night and try to deep charge it once a month, seeing as i cant use mine to do it I use my wifes, my Full charges consist of Complete discharge, Charge to 100%, power down and leave on charger for 1 hour, then power back up and leave on charge for another hour once in a while during the Full cycle clear bat stats

I am able to get 2 days out of the the 2000mah or the original battery with drob's latest kernel.
Actually, a brand new factory battery seems to hold up better than the 2000mah batteries we got.
It's a htc charging while off issue if it powers itself into recovery once your phone shuts off. You'll need to talk to koush about it because the older recoveries can power while off but the newer ones can't because the older method no longer works on the newer recovery source code.

Hi
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Basically my xoom seems to be suffering from a problem that quite a few people seem to have had. It locked itself one day when it hadn't been used for a couple of minutes and that was it. Tried the holding of power button + up put it on charge and left it with the green light on for 3 hours still nothing.
tried disconnecting the battery and left it disconnected for a day to see if that worked- Nope
tried a new battery - nope
Tried new top part of case with power switch and volume buttons - nothing
As a last resort I bought a factory reset cable - plugged in and plugged into charger as well and after holding the vol up+down for 20 seconds and then holding the power with them it suddenly sprang to life.............
Now its working fine while all plugged in but the moment I pull the usb cable out its off.
So is this pointing to the battery? ( I have replaced it but its not a Motorola original)
Could it be a charging problem, Although its showing as charging (I haven't pulled the cable yet when fully charged as its still charging but it was at 61%)
or is this something else.
Thanks for any help that anyone can give me
Sorry to hear of your problem, but you may get more responses if you specify which model you have.

lol I spent so much time trying to make sure I remembered everything tried that I forgot the basc info
Its a mz604 wifi only UK xoom
Fingers crossed someone might have an idea?
OK, I may have had some success!
I managed to get it booted up again on the cable and did a battery re-calibration. Pulled the cable out and it powered off again straight away but.................... When I pressed the power button it has booted up and seems to be running fine again.
I'm going to run the battery fully down and then see what happens after a charge so fingers crossed may be good news.
series hoping

The battery re-calibration is only an Android OS issue, and shouldnt be doing anything like this. It gets reset every time you unplug your device from being fully charged.
This almost sounds like a defective battery or a loose battery connection inside. Its possible that unplugging and plugging the battery back in fixed the issue.
Best of luck to getting your tablet back up and running.
