I don't leave my tablet on the charger and I just went to use it and it wasn't turning on? I held the power button + vol button to soft reset, and nothing happened so I tried the reset button and it didn't do anything either.
Nothing's happened with it to make this happen that I know of.
Anyone hear of this?
Thanks
If I take the tablet off of the docking station and plug it straight into the tablet the amber charging light next to the power button blinks 3 times then stays solid.
What the hell?!
Whew! False alarm!
I just left it plugged in OFF of the docking station (I think it charges the docking station first thus not getting any power to the actual tablet for a little longer) and then tried turning it on and it vibrated and then powered up.
I almost pooped a bricked.
When connected to the dock, the dock will get filled first and then it will begin to charge the tablet. If both are running very low and you need to quick charge, charge the tablet directly first to give it enough juice to turn on.

This is something that bothers me too, I have had the screen on all the way through the night on the odd occasion, this can generate a lot of heat..
So far I haven't found anything though ):
Odd, I plug it in, set it down, the screen comes on, and I hit the power button one time. It shuts off the rest of the night. Is this not normal? Either way, if you turn it off and plug in the charger, it'll still charge but the screen won't come on since most of the phone is off.
The screen starts up when the charge plug is inserted to alert to change of status on screen, i.e. the phone is now in charge mode.
I remember my iPhone used to do the same.
I doubt there's a way around that..
My phone sometimes needs a few power button presses in order for it to stay off, however when its plugged in my touchscreen acts erratic
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.
I plugged my phone in last night and when I woke up today it was off. I pulled out the charging cord and held the power button with no effect. Thinking the cord may have slipped partly out and let the phone die, I plugged it back in and was greeted by the battery charging screen, showing full charge. I pressed the power button and the phone went black. On further investigation, it seems my press of the power button didn't have to do with it turning off, as whenever I plug it in it shows the full battery screen for a couple of seconds before turning off again. If I unplug it and plug it back in it just repeats this. I've reseated the battery, I've tried holding volume down and the power button, and nothing's changed the phone's behavior. The phone is completely stock, and never opened beyond the battery and card doors.
It's pretty old and I'm pretty sure I do have an upgrade available, so I'm not too upset if I have to buy a new phone, but I'd like to confirm that it is FUBAR before I go that far, and I'd like to be able to extract my data if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you have access to another battery, you could try that, but since you're seeing the full battery symbol I'm guessing that that's not the issue. You can always recover your sdcard data by putting it in a card reader, but the phone's apps, app data, and settings may be more difficult.
Well, turns out the problem was much less serious than I thought: my charging cord has bitten the dust. I'm not sure why I've been seeing the full battery, but when I took it to the AT&T store, the person who helped me plugged it in and it started right up. I just need to get a cable that's not my years-old piece of crap that came with the phone.
Hi Guys,
I have a tablet that my boss gave me today to 'fix'. The problem that it is having is that it isn't turning on, nor does it appear to be even charging. He said he used it until it was dead, then plugged it in overnight to charge, but when he tried it this morning, it wouldn't turn back on. I've had it for about two hours now, plugged into an outlet (the plug is a bulky black 2pronged adapter with samsung written on the side and I have a usb 3.0 plug). I tested the charger out on my Galaxy S5 and it started charging without any problems, so that tells me that the charger is working.
After 2 hours of supposedly charging, when I press power nothing happens. When I press the home button, nothing happens. I read on here that some were having really slow charging times, but I figured after two hours, there should be at least enough power to show the little batter logo on the screen during charging. Now, though, since that indicator doesn't even show up, I'm starting to think maybe I should just take it back to VZW. I was looking at the back of the device to see if it had a removable back cover and maybe resetting the battery would fix it, but I didn't see an indention where you can pull the cover off at (like on the note or my s5).
Any suggestions?
2 hour are not so much, if you used not the original charger. Let it on the charger for around 12 hour and try again - disconnect charger, reconnect again if you can see something...
Plug it in, keep the power button pressed for at least 30 seconds. See if that starts it up.
Hi.
You might try getting an usb volt- & ampere-meter off ebay. They're about 10 bucks or so.
It'll tell you if the tablet is drawing power at all.
Regards
Elo

I am having an odd issue and am seeking ideas on what to try next. Yesterday evening my GS6 in a tech21 case fell approximately 3ft from my basketball shorts pocket onto carpet. The phone was off at the time and had just been charging. Thinking nothing of the fall, I went to turn it on and it refuses to power on. I tried re-plugging it in assuming it might not have charged, and that doesn't seem to help either. I see no indication of charging (i.e. no screen indicators or LEDs) when plugged in. I plugged the phone into my laptop running Gentoo Linux and tailed messages but saw no indication of a device being connected which implies to me that it's not a broken LCD or a boot loop - the phone is literally just not turning on. Finally, I placed my phone on a OEM wireless charger at work and the charger pad LED indicates it's charging, but there's no indication on the phone screen or phone LEDs. To me this implies the battery has a charge, but something is preventing it from powering up.
I'm not sure how such a short fall in a case onto carpet would cause this. I have already tried doing a power + vol down and a power + home + vol up, neither seem to have any effect. I plan to take it apart tonight or tomorrow and am wondering if anyone has suggestions on which part(s) to focus on. I'm hoping (and I know it's a long shot) that just some internal cable got knocked out.
