TF700 Won't Turn Back On

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.

Htc One S dead

Hello guys,
I'm experiencing something bad with my HOS. Briefly, yesterday morning I plug the phone from charger at 06.00 am. Play with it for a while and then go to work. Used it at work for a few phone calls until 10.00 am (so 4 hours on fully charge battery). Then at 10.00 am I went into a meeting and left the phone out of my sight for 20-30 minutes. When I came back from the meeting I realize that the phone was closed. I try to open it (power button) but nothing. Press power for 10-30 seconds with volume down - still no effect.
Then I took the charger (the original one that I always use to cherge it) and plug it, left it for 2-3 minutes and press power. The phone starts but all I have is the white screen with HTC logo and if I press the power button + volume down the phone goes into bootloader. That's all I can do with it for now.
I have stock rom, bootloader is locked and I never try to root the phone. Is it any chance to repair it by myself or I have to sent it to the repair shop.
many thanks in advance.

try holding the power button for 10-15 seconds, until all 3 buttons light up and the phone restarts itself. Let go of power button when after 3 buttons light up 3 times and see if that helps?

I've already do that. When I press power nothing happen. I'll have to plug into charger, let it for 2-3 minutes and then press power. The phone starts, white screen with HTC logo appears and then phone restarts and same white screen and .... again and again. If I hold volume down key then the phone enters into bootloader,I can use the options clear storage or factory reset, and restart the phone then same thing happens (white screen with logo and restart by itself). All these only when pluged. If unpluged nothing happen when I press power button.

Might sound silly but have you charged it for more then a few minutes because last time my phone died I had to charge it for about half hour before it would boot right.

I'll try this, but is strange if the phone run out of battery since it was used for about 4 hours since fully charged. Will be back with a feedback. Thanks for the tip.

Ya that's why I said it might be silly but still give it a try. I have seen odd battery drain where it could drain it in a few hours.

I say it's strange because I was on stock rom with same installed apps for about 2 months. Anyway the phone is now charging and I see something different with the led for charging as it turns orange as it should be when charging. Yesterday, when I try to start the phone,plugged in, the led was blinkering somehow. I'll be back with feedback later, I'll let the phone charge until led turns green.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Good news, after keep it to cherge until the led turns green, the phone boot up. I perform a factory reset immediatelly and an sd card clean up and now I'm installing my favourite apps. I'll be monitoring close my phone for the next days to see if sudden battery discharges happens.
Many thanks for your advice @darknites:good:

Np dude. Not sure where the drain is I used apps to look and it showed nothing and only seen it on sense roms and mostly only happened after flashing and setting it up but if you see it just roboot and it should fix it.

my phone is now dead the same way.
battery was fully drained, when turning on it doesn't go further than the bootanimation ( stays at htc one s logo).
Now i have fully charged the battery (green led) and it still doesn't boot up the right way.
Any help? I don't want to run the RUU.

Could try reflashing the rom if that dont work think you going to have too RUU it but use one that has the same Hboot as you got now.

What do you mean by not boot the right way? Can you pass the white screen with Htc logo? Did you try factory reset? Was your phone rooted?

Its not a good idea for him to use factory reset in bootloader since he not on stock rom.

I believe (but can not back it up) that you could have just re-flashed the boot image only. Still 10x probably.. altho that may have been the charging time, not the flashing.. who knows.

[Q] Blackscreen, cant access my tablet at all

Hello, good morning.
I was using my tablet normally and left it on the desk for to cook lunch and came back finding it blacked out and doesn't respond to anything I do. Doesn't power off, nor power on, no sound, no nothing. Just the tablet as if it's closed. And no it's charged, I tried to put it on the charger as well, but nothing.
It's booted, and it's a GT-N8000.
Note: I'm a new android user.

Did the tablet recently take fall/ beating?
Try pressing the power button for about 15 seconds and seeing if it will power down so u can reboot it

This happened to me once i freaked out.. There is a tread about this somewhere.. If your having the same issue. A app (i do not remember what one) Locked up the device while the screen was off. So i opened it disconnected the battery .
Reconnected the battery put it on the charger and hold the power button 30 seconds and it Booted right up.This was on the original firmware .You can leave it unplugged until the battery is depleted totally and should give you the same results.Well its if the same issue of course..

It didn't fall or break or anything, I didn't even install any new apps lately.
I tried to hold power button forever but nothing, as if its turned off(well its possibly turned off).
How do I take out the battery what so ever?

One rare possiblity is that the battery is dead.
Use the original charger and cable and keep it connected to charging for at least 1-2 hrs and then try to turn it back on.
If the battery is fully discharged its not always possible to charge with a generic charger or generic cable.

[Q] nexus 5 red light

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.

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:

Frozen phone...Cannot turn off.

My phone froze on the last ap I used (Audible) past 8 hours. Phone was being charged.
Power button doesn't seem to respond
Stock rom, soff, rooted

Did you try pressing and holding the power button? After some seconds the softkeys should start flashing. If you then keep holding the power your phone should reboot. (I forgot how many seconds you need to keep pushing that button. I guess it was something around 30 seconds or so...)

Nothing works. 10 mins ago, seems the phone battery drained. Now its completely dead. Charging the phone is not bringing on the LED.
