I've got a 4G Xoom, that I bought new about 13 months ago. It's been great to me so far. I had it rooted and was running CM 9 on it and had been doing so for about a month without any issues.
Yesterday, it was plugged into the charger and I happen to glance at it and it was doing some strange things with the screen, flashing on/off, black lines on part of the screen. I powered it off and left it alone for an hour or so.
Since then, it's been completely unresponsive. I've tried Vol Up+Power button countless times without it working. The charge light (white) came on briefly while plugged in, but then went off, never to return. The only reaction I can get is that after holding Vol up+Power causes an orange light next to the front camera to blink twice. That's it.
Any suggestions? Is it completly dead?

Given that it's sealed, how is this done? I hadn't even considered cracking the case.

You may not need to remove the battery as several people have reported success with just slipping some paper between the contacts for 30+ seconds. You will need to open it up though and here's a post with info and pictures to guide you through that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578365
On edit: here's another thread with good info for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528706&page=3
Good luck.
Well, I did the paper under the battery terminals for 15 minutes and still no joy.
One item of note is that when I plug the charger in, I'm not getting a white (or green) light. At least not much of the time. Occasionally, I can wiggle the plug a bit and it will light up, but I'm not getting to green at all.
I can put a multimeter on the battery leads, does anyone know how many volts/amps I should be reading?
Are we sure that its not just a crap connection with the charging plug. It is a wimpy little pin and my Xoom needs me to do a rain dance to get it to charge. I have to plug it in, wait a few seconds and then the white light comes on , but only if the wire is flipped back over the top of the screen. Another thought is I use Tiamat ics and there is an option to have the light on or off during charge and I think it is set to off as default, maybe you didn't set that up. I would bet its something stupid and you just need to keep playing with the wire and see if you can get it on. Good luck.

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!!
EDIT: This is a Verizon LTE Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

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.
Hi All.
I have just bought a second hand HTC One s, its only suppose to be 4 months old, when I first got it, it needed a long charge as it was really flat, it worked for about 4 weeks, when I pressed the on switch, the three touch buttons flashed 3 times and it wouldn't start up, after a few attempts it started ok, I have had it for 4 weeks and the other night I switched it off to give it its nightly charge, when I plug it in, the orange light comes on to show its plugged into the charger, but it stays on forever and does not go green, I have left it plugged in all night and when I try to start it up, it does nothing, has anybody got any ideas please, at 60yrs old, I am a bit short of technical megabites myself. or is that my excuse for my ignorance.
Regards to all

Hello,
first of all, I've read every other guide on the internet with the same problem, I haven't found a fix yet.
My problem is a little bit different then others.
A couple of days ago my phone got really hot, so I decided to stop use it so it can cool a bit. It still had like 80% battery remaining. After it was cooled down a bit it wasn't powered on anymore and I was unable to boot it up, it was just dead. I placed it in the fridge for about half an hour, after that it was working fine again.
Now I have the problem that it won't power on again. If I plug it into the wall (original charger) There is just a white LED on the front, which means the phone is too low to turn the screen on, After 2 minutes or so the white LED disappers, but the screen is not turning on. If I plug it off and on again the white LED is back on.
When the LED is gone i tried pressing some buttons according to some guides in the internet. The only result was, when I pressed the power down and the power button while the white LED is off, it just comes back on after exactly 2 minutes.
I also tried 3 different batteries, 2 of them are original motorola batteries for the MotoG, the other one a cheap ebay one.
Is there any chance I can bring it back to live? Or at least get my data recovered?
Greetings,
Lukas

same here
A few nights ago, I turned off my Xoom normally. It had plenty of power left.
In the morning, I plugged it in and left it without even trying to turn it on. The green charge light was on when I came back to it. It will not power on. I tried upvolume with power button and also downvolume with power button, as well as power button alone. I even tried up and down volume simulaneously with power. Nothing works.
It has charged for 3 days, but it is dead. It is not modified in any way, and is long since out of warranty.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I hate to buy a new anything, this Xoom does everything I need.
Thanks!
Me too Happened before and I managed to get into recovery but can't do it now. Help
