I live with a friend and they just showed me that they have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 that won't boot, turn on, or charge. When pressing the power button the screen flickers black for a second then turns off. Here's what i've tried.
Power Button + Vol Down
Power Button + Vol Up
Power Button + Finger on Screen
Remove back panel and detached battery for 15-30 mins
Tried all of above on and off charger
Tried letting sit for days charging
Still same results. The tablet never got wet/dropped. Just randomly happened one day they unplugged it from charging in the morning :/
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Maybe battery is too low..u can try plugging charging for 2-3 hrs and then try to boot....
Else
Then no option left rather than go to a service center.......

We kind of figured as much, I just didn't know if there was some other button combo or magically hidden reset button somewhere inside the tablet :/
I've been reading about problems with the Galaxy Tab 2's and weird battery problems/freezes...

Too late for you, but for others with this issue...
I was having this problem for a few days, removing my micro sd card somehow magically fixed it. Think it was trying to boot from the sd card.
Leaving mine in download mode for till the battery died is what caused my tablet to do nothing. I didn't have all the files ready and my setup was crap.

The battery certainly s$%^s on the tab2 but i had a very similar problem which turned out to be the usb/charger/interface cable. when plugged in it appeared that it was charging but the level never increased. after replacing the cable it began showing an increase. it still takes a painfully long time to charge. hope you get it working, its a pretty good tablet when it works :good:
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Won't boot, charge or turn on
I realize this is a late comment on the above thread but I just experienced the same problem with my Tab 2 10.1. I took a close look at both the usb cable and the female receptacle on the tablet and found some very small pieces of trash on both of them. I took a dental pick and very carefully cleaned the receptacle and then used some "canned air" to blow out the trash and I am now back in business. Maybe it will not work for everyone but did the trick for me. Good luck.

I've had mine about 6-8 weeks. Is unlocked and has TWRP and Zeus 3.0. Used it this morning with no issues and it was about 90% charged. Took it on the road with me and I wanted to make sure it was fully charged so I plugged it into a power inverter car charger with a USB slot. After about 1 hour, I unplugged it and turned it back on. It powered up and the first Asus screen popped up. At that point it appeared to go black and I waited a few minutes. Nothing happened. I then tried turning it back and it will not turn back on or power up into TWRP. After holding the power button, the tablet has a small vibrate after 10 seconds. Upon plugging it back into the car charger, I noticed that the light is not working. This happens on and off the dock. I won't be able to plug it into a real power outlet until I get back home, so I'm posting to get a jump start on what to do if it still doesn't work at home.
Any advice?

Well I got home, plugged it in and the charge light came on. It still wouldn't turn on though. At that point, I figured I'd try a paper clip in the factory reset pin hole even though I read that it doesn't or shouldn't work when you're not stock. Well doing that powered the tablet back up and everything is the way I left it this morning.
Very interesting. Hope this may help others....or maybe I'm just lucky.

So the reset button works also with custom rom. Shouldn't be a normal thing? I didn't know that with custom rom it doesn't work.

Sounds somewhat similar to my tablet, had it connect to HDMI with dock it was just finished running video the low battery status prompt popped up, folded the tablet and connected with charger without disconnecting HDMI.
A few hours later unfolded the tablet and found a blank screen, first thought it had shutdown by itself, then by pressing power button it gave a short vibration feedback. With the display still blank kept on pressing power button each time it responded with feedback by vibrating and thought it is bricked.
Was wondering wildly what has happened to it, so kept on pressing and holding power button it finally reboots and vibrated long to indicate it is booting.
So it was strange why such error has occurred, and it happens it could have registered as turned ON but display ON and in reality display is really OFF.
Guyz I flashed this thing to update (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756100) my mz617 to ICS and followed every instruction and now my xyboard won't turn on ...
During flashing my tab had only 5% battery but flashing succeeded but still phone is not turning on. I have kept my tab charging from past 2 Hrs but still wont turn ON. Pls help me guyz.. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

i know this might be a dumb question, but have you tried pressing volum up+volume down+power together when you're turning it on? does it do anything when you do that? have you tried booting into recovery?
oohhh always last thing, are you using the power adapter that came with the xyboard to charge it? because if you are using just USB cable to PC it wont power up, also, if you are not using the designated charger, i can tell you first hand that it will take about an hour of charging before you can power it up since its not the right voltage i.e, a phone charger, i use my Samsung Galaxy tab 3's charger to charge this beast and it works well, but yes if the battery died, the thing wont power up for like an hour, try this.. unplgu it from the charger, press the power button, if u see the red light blink next to the camera, then its just a dead battery, you should be ok, if you dont see nothing then you might have an issue, but i can tell you this, if you had an error flashing or bricked it, when you try to power it up if it has battery life, the screen will light up, but just stay black, but if its not lighting up, chances are its dead and just needs to be charged
@masterse7ven first of all thanks for the reply. I am using power adapter which is not meant for the xyboard but when tried to connect power adapter my xyboard shows white light @ bottom & red at top next to camera. & it used to blink red light 3 times when i tried to power up. Now after an hour or so No light when connected to power adapter & no blink while trying to turn thing on. I tried vol down + up + power button But still no response I think its the charger heck I think remaining battery power is also drained ??????? I will buy a new charger again. & reply the results...
hi guys,
2 days ago I got a nexus 5 loved it until today I was playing a game (asphalt 8) and it just turned it self off don't know why just did now all im getting is a flashing red light I was on holiday with the phone could the plane have done something to it anyway guys please help me
thanks
Prime
No, the plane didn't do anything to the phone.
Did the battery die? Did you stick the phone on a charger after it turned off?
Best guess is that it's overheated to the thermal shutdown limit.
Leave it a while then try powering it back on

na, when you hit the safety shutdown temp, all it does is shut down, you can boot it right after. ive reached it many times(on purpose), it works.
what the op is describing sounds like the rlod on the nexus 4(red light of death). it happens when the phone thinks it went below 0%. on the n4 there are two solutions, one works sometimes, the other all the time. the one that works sometimes is leave it on the charger for several hours, then try to boot into the bootloader, then shut off the phone from there and keep charging. the method that works 100% is to remove the back cover, disconnect the battery, then reconnect it. this is a hard reset for the battery, and works 100% of the time on the nexus 4.

if it was something that happened on its own(without you tinkering with your phone), then yes.

You may want to give this procedure a try, its copied directly from Google's product support page for the Nexus 7.
Make sure there isn’t any dust or lint in the power port.
Using the original power adapter and USB cable, plug your Nexus 7 into a functioning power outlet. Nexus 7 has specific power requirements, and the USB cable and power adapter that are included are designed to meet those requirements.
Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the tablet and the power adapter.
After 1 minute, check to see if a battery icon appears on the screen.
If the battery icon appears, press & hold the Power button for 15 to 30 seconds to see if the device turns on.
If the battery icon doesn't appear, try accessing the Android bootloader menu:
Press & hold the Volume down button. While holding Volume down, press & hold the Power button for at least 10 seconds until you see an Android robot and the word Start on the screen.
Press the Volume down button until Power off is highlighted. Press the Power button to select that option.
Disconnect the charger and reconnect it within 10 seconds. A battery icon should appear on your screen.
Once the battery icon appears on the screen, allow your tablet to charge for at least 1 hour before turning it back on.

I got a new one thanks for all your help
I just had a red blinking light and no charge indicator situation, as well. Nothing seemed to work: plugged it in for 20 minutes, unplugged it for 20 minutes, plugged it back in...and after another hour on the charger I finally noticed the blinking red light had gone away, and hitting power brought up the charging indicator as normal. Booted right up and has been fine since.
My Nexus 5 just started doing this. I was in the middle of playing a game while my phone was on the charger (Brave Frontier) and suddenly the screen went dead and I had the red flashing light. I'm guessing I was using the juice faster than the charger could fill it so I killed it. I couldn't get the battery indicator to come back but as I was typing this the red light finally stopped flashing and the phone rebooted.
This happened to my N5 today. I was on a Hangouts video chat while plugged in from wall charger and I noticed the battery was actually draining rather than charging. So I figured hangouts was discharging the battery faster than the charging. Eventually it went to 0% and stayed that way for a while and suddenly the screen went off and the LED started blinking red. Followed the steps posted here, plugged in, left for a while and the blinking stops and phone boots up.
Never Hangout-ing with low charge ever! D:
I have been unable to find my exact problem in forums so hope this isn't a repeat.
My Samsung Tab 2 10.1 was working fine, except for short battery life. I put it on charger overnight, charge was about 60%, and next morning the tablet was dead. No battery icon to show charging, would not turn on, nothing. The back did feel much warmer than normal.
I did all the steps I found on the internet, including:
1. Holding power button 30 seconds
2. Combination of power and volume buttons
3. Removed the back and looked for loose cables
4. Unplugged the battery
5. Used a different charger
6. Tried USB on computer for "trickle" charging
7. Used car charger
No results at all with any of these so I bought a new battery and still dead. Nothing at all happens when charging or attempting to power on.
Any ideas of anything else I can try?
Thanks in advance.

I have 2 tabs, one of them did what you described. I wound up just putting it in the closet, thinking that it was bricked or bad battery. I even thought about ordering a new one. After a couple of weeks, I got it out and tried to power it on. Nothing. Nada. Zip. So I plugged it in on wall charger. I left it on for 2 or three days. I even forgot about it. But i tried to power it up and it powered up. Maybe I was lucky. Worth a try. Hope this helps, hp.
I will certainly try that. Thanks for replying.

Hard to say ... usual things to check:
Clean/dry USB connector
Try a different charger/cable
Think about what happened right before the issues started
If the device can not be charged and does not respond in any case, the battery might be defect ... just a guess.

If it did turn on those two times could that still be a battery issue and I have cleaned the charging port and the charger is very reliable.
