I had my tablet for 2 days now but it all of sudden, the tab became unresponsive.
I was using it this morning and it went to sleep (I didn't lock it with button), and when I went back to turn it on, and that's when I found out it was dead.
the tablet does not respond to power button, charger or computer.
Anyone have a similar fault?
I can't believe I have to send this back to hk now for repair.
Have you tried turning it on to either download or recovery mode?
What is that mode?
I got it to turn on finally while tryibg bunch of random combos (volumn down + power) and (volume up and power)
etc
Try holding power button on for up to 20 secs worked for someone on the av forums
my tab every two days just freezes.... i have to press power for a few sec for it to reboot
Had a similar issue recently. When my device went to sleep it wouldn't wake 'normally' I could hear the volume up/down sounds but no picture. had to hold down for an extended period to reboot.
I checked what was using the most battery and it turned out to be "media" I had some issues w/ my ext SD card recently and noticed when I removed it all was fine.
so that was my solutions (as for why my SD card is giving me grief, that's anther yet to be determined issue) but atleast it 'wakes' normally and my battery doesn't drain like crazy.
I have the same problem - Tab go to sleep mode and death. Nothing is working. Have anybody idea what to do with it. I have only 1 idea - take it to service
Edit - Problem solved ;-) Conect Tab to PC while pressing VolDown. It start charging and after while you can start device.
I've got a similar issue. When you hit the power button to wake it from sleep, nothing works and you barely see the bottom taskbar. Reboot obviously fixes it. It happens pretty randomly every other day or so.
Hi , i was just thinking it may be of some help if you posted more info .
What ROM you are running .
What ROM you loaded before this one .
How you loaded the ROM you are currently running .
The reason I ask is that these problems may be ROM related and if thats so
you may help others to avoid the same problem .
Oh by the way , I have had this same problem show up with other devices and also
with computers not booting and it was caused by a SD card .
P.S good luck wish i could help .

I did a search but no solutions came up.
Basically, when I touch the screen to move the little lock icon over to unlock it nothing happens.
I powered it off by holding power for 10 seconds and then powered it on again.
No bueno, nothing happened.
Anyone else run into this and was able to solve it?
yes, i had the same problem, you will not like this..
do one step at the time and check if it works, if not continue to the next one
1. cold reboot (hold power button for 30-60 seconds),
you can try step 1 several times
2. turn it off, let it charge for 2-3 hours, turn it on
3. reboot to safe mode (this not really sure how i did it..lol.. i think is, turn off and turn on and quickly hold both volume keys until it boots up, if you did it correctly it will boot and say "safe mode" at the bottom left corner).
4. reset to factory settings, hold volume (-) and power key at the same time, (this will erase everything)
when i had this problem, i actually had to cold rebooted several times and reboot into safe mode after step 4 to have the touchscreen working again..I was about this close () to give up and return it to walmart..
I had the same thing happen to me, and all the rebooting in the world couldn't fix it. I don't know if you're still on stock rom or not, but what I did was reflashed the Prime rom and it worked again.
Nothing helped, even hard wipe.
Returned the TF.
I had this same problem... Unfortunately the only thing that worked was letting the power drain out. That was a huge pain because the Transformer has a killer battery and there are only so many times you can turn the screen on and off to drain it. It took about 4-5 days to fully drain. After that point I had upgraded to 3.1 and it has worked flawlessly since then... definitely a firmware problem not hardware.
I think my Infuse crapped out on me. After about a week on Slimbean, while texting, my phone decided to shut off and start bootlooping. I sat there and was like... wtf
I tried entering recovery, couldn't get to it. I removed the battery and re-inserted it then another strange thing happened, it powered on by itself. Now I know something definitely going on. Tried getting into recovery for another 15mins and gave up. I then loaded up heimdall and tried entering download mode.... It doesn't work either! I've tried so many times too. What the hell is going on with my phone?! I was holding out until 2013 to upgrade because my infuse was doing well and I don't really like anything that's on the market right now. But with the recently announced Note II, I may find something extremely temporary and go to that, but main plan is to fix this and wait for 2013. So any ideas on what to do?
I had the same issue as you homie. Your power button is jammed. I had to take mine apart and clean out the power button. After I did that it wasn't rebooting by it self anymore. Or what you can do is when it turns on press the power button continuously until it stays on. Now I don't even touch the the power button at all. I use the power widgets to put it to sleep and I use the volume button to wake it up.

Yep...its the power button

Opened up my phone and tried cleaning it, still same thing. Maybe the button itself is actually broken... Maybe I should desolder it...
Alright so it was the power button. I desoldered it and now the phone works... just without a power button. The only problem now is trying to flash a Rom via CWM. The home button doesn't work either, it just makes the menu disappear, as with the menu button as well. Is there another way to flash a rom Via heimdall or odin? I particularly would like to go the slimbean route but I need to flash ICS first. Any and all help would be appreciated!
i have jellyshot 3.0 with marmite and my recovery is the TWRP ... since a couple of day, it's happening a strange thing, my phone doesn't turn off. i tried from the power menu in the tile ( i have the power key not working problem ), and when it finish to power off it just reboot, sometimes get stuck with screen on. i tried from the recovery too from the reboot section but it has the same behaviour rebooting instead of turning off . the only change i made in this few day was a battery reset charging it while turned off using the guide on this site, and tried button remapper cause i wanted to switch the volume up to a power button, and worked but when i shut down the phone it never really shut down but keep stuck in the power off screen and i had to pullo off battery. Oh i was forgotting ... when i pull off battery and pull it on, it reboot too ... but since i have the power button problem it was a frequent behaviour !!! ... does anyone know how to solve this little problem ???
UP ?
Put my sim free s6 on charge last night (wireless) as i always do and when i woke up the green led was flashing quite fast.
I went to wake the phone up using home button and nothing, nothing from powerbutton either. Tried holding down powerbutton and have also tried charging manually but still nothing. What was strange also was that i did not get any charging sound when i inserted the cable to try an charge it.
I am pretty sure its charged though...just will not turn on.
Any ideas?
No completely stock phone, very few apps on it, just over a week old.
Updated to 5.1.1 via ota a couple of days ago.
Just done a bit of a search on the Internet and says to hold all the buttons down which I've done and has now restarted and seems fine.
Does not explain what's happened though
problem solved?
Well it's working fine now but does not explain why it just died for no reason and would not do anything without rebooting with that method.
Phone was 100% charged when started up also....very strange
Got same thing happen to my S6 after updating it to 5.1.1 . Phone have random freeze problem , left it on desk then someone called and a didnt get it up so notification light blinked i wanted to check who was calling but after pressing power to wake it up it wasnt working same with home button. So i had to keep pressed Vol- and power to reset phone . I wonder is it a 5.1.1 bug ?
Hi my phone is a Samsung Galaxy s6 and I've had it about a month the it just stopped working it had no life although when I go to charge it it starts charging but if i try to turn it on it just flashes a green light on the bottom of the phone what is this please
You don't need to hold all buttons down. Hold VOLUME DOWN+POWER for a few seconds and it will do a forced reboot.
I have the same problem with my s6 edge. Tried everything, and nothing is working. Any other suggestions on how to turn on my phone?
Hi! Did you get any responses? I'm having the same problem and don't know what to do
Thanks, this helped me out. 3 buttons at the same time. I did it long, maybe needlessly.
i had my Note 8 phone working absolutely fine sitting at my desk. I picked it up and saw ~50% batt. Got into a subway after 10 minutes and tried to check the time - the phone was completely dead. Tried everything under the sun - read 2 posts before this one and then found out the solution was to hold all the 3 buttons (important to note - the down volume + bixbee + start buttons) all at the same time for almost a minute to get it started.
All this time a green led light was flashing on top right of the phone.

Hi guys!
I face a problem with my n5 i m on stock android 6 so yesterday suddenly my phone switch off. It took me over 3 h to understand that.when i press the power button to unlock or lock to sleep mode my phone (2 to 3 times ) switching off. I dont consider that a factory reset will help because i m running this software over a month without problems.!!!anyone can help me?? I m desperate!!! Thanks..
The same thing is happening to a phone I have on my desk. I can be using it and it will suddenly power off if I touch the power button. I thought it might be a battery problem but that's not it because I swapped in a working battery. I also tested the power button contacts with a multimeter and the contacts seem fine which leads me to believe the problem is inside the power button and the button needs to be replaced.
