My problem is that device won't boot up. It will give me a blue light on power button and it will vibrate. And for split second Acer screen pops up but then goes black. Home button will light up if pressed. But I tried reset and hard reset. If charger is not plunged in it will act fully dead. Computer does pick tablet up but drivers won't install.

Hello,
Hopefully I'm in the right place for posting something that seems to be this simple. The start of my problem is that the tablet will not stay off. When I try to shut it down, it shuts down normally, but then it starts to display the battery icons like it is plugged in and charging, but it is not connected to power. I can leave it in sleep mode and the charging thing will not happen, but turning it off displays the power charging screen and it further drains the battery. I figured something is screwy with the system so I would try to reset it to factory defaults. Now I have the other problem...
So I am trying to restore to factory defaults and I know to do this I have to start from off and hold down the up volume and the power button for a few seconds and as soon as the tablet starts to turn on release the power button but not the volume up button, and it should get me into the recovery/download screen. Unfortunately that is not working. I hold down the Volume up button and briefly hold the power button (3 or 4 sec or so) and I see the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 startup screen and let go of the power button (still holding the Volume up button). Next I see the spinning blue circle around the Samsung logo and the tablet reboots. I can release the volume up button at any time after that and the results are the same, it just reboots. It's like it isn't seeing the volume button.
I have tried using the volume Down button instead of the volume up button but that too is just like I am not pushing any volume button at all. Once the tablet is on, the volume buttons function normally, so the switches are good.
Since I got this tablet used could someone have loaded something onto it preventing it from being rebooted into recovery/download mode? Maybe some custom firmware or something. I'm at a loss as to where to go next. Since I can't boot into recovery/download mode I can't get into Odin.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi. The tablet isn't rooted, is it? Can you try to boot it into download or recovery with the "quick boot" app from google play?
I don't think it is rooted, but I can't tell for sure since I can't connect to the Google play store. I tried downloading using the web browser, but my battery dies before if finished. I'll try swapping batteries and see what I can figure out. Thanks for the idea.

No, the device is not rooted. it also is not charging and I had a heck of a time getting it to connect to the play store. I think I need to try and reload the OS, but without being able to get into ODIN, or reboot into recovery, I'm not sure how to proceed. any suggestions?
When the battery thing appears do the power- volume up thing and hold it until the gtab logo appears.
I've tried that, and it just boots up as if I wasn't holding the volume button at all. Once the tab is booted, the volume buttons work as normal. I've even tried putting a different power/Volume/IR unit in (from a working tab with a broken screen) and that didn't make a difference.
I left the tablet all weekend and it just keeps showing that it is charging when not plugged in. By Monday the battery was 100% dead. It won't even charge. If I replace the battery with a battery from a working unit I'b back in the same place where I can't get it to boot to Recovery/download.
Hey guys, I have a problem with my TF700
First of all my TF700 is rooted, but I didn't change the ROM or any of those advanced stuff.
My TF700 has a black screen problem...When I hit the power button the screen comes on but its black...as in the light is on but its a dim black light, you can't see anything but I can tell the tablet is on. When I press the power button again the dim light comes off.
When I try pressing the power button and the volume down button or any of those combinations the tablet just vibrates and turns off and the dim light comes back on with no display. I don't see any of the things that usually comes on when you press those combinations in order to cold boot the device.
When I plug in the charger, the charger light is green indicating that it is fully charged.
When I plug it in to my computer it says installation of driver failed, and it says no APX driver found.
Can someone help me please?
Get a proper HDMI cable and connect it to your TV's HDMI port and see if that will at least let you see what's going on.
Hey all, I have an Asus TF300T and recently replaced a cracked screen. I replaced with the same type - 69.10121.G01. Replacement went smoothly enough.
Once screen replacement was complete, I plugged in the charger - saw the Battery Icon on the screen confirm it was charging and the light on the power button stayed orange - until fully charged. Now the light is green.
Unfortunately,the tablet wont power up. I checked the on/off switch next to the power button. Checked all connections. Held power down, Pressed hard reset, etc. I read somewhere here that someone had success with Volume Down + Power - and after my 20th attempt at that, the ASUS recovery screen appeared for 2 seconds and then the screen went dark again.
So the screen/digitizer/lcd/whatever "works" but there is something amiss. Unfortunately, I am on a boat and cant get to another screen to try the HDMI cable on a TV or monitor. Any thoughts on what could be causing this or what might make this work again?
Thanks!
I have scanned the internet for a solution for this and have come across a few. But to no avail.
My TF700 starts the boot process with the traditional single vibrate and then after a second vibrates endlessly. The screen does not come up at all, everything is black.
To give you a background, I have rooted my device. I was on CM's JB ROM for a while and then I formatted and went to the stock 4.2.1 ROM from ASUS (WW_epad-user-10.6.1.14.10). I used the tablet effectively, but then it ran out of juice. So I recharged it completely and now I am stuck with this problem.
From shut down mode:
I press the power button and there is continuous vibration.
I press power + vol dn and there is continuous vibration.
I press power + vol up and it vibrates once and then nothing.
From continuous vibration mode:
I press power and it restarts the same issue with continuous vibration.
I press power + power dn and it restarts the same issue with continuous vibration
I press power + vol up and the vibration stops, the tablet vibrates once and then nothing (i am using this to stop the vibration before the noise drives me crazy).
One thing I haven't tried is to see if the screen is the issue and I'll connect the tablet with an HDMI and see. However, the vibration is still an issue.
The device is not detected by the computer so I cannot use that to reboot in bootloader. In normal sense, it does not boot into bootloader so I can format the device. It just sits there vibrating and I have no way of getting into it.
Please HELP!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To force the phone to turn off hold down the power button (and ONLY the power button) for a count of 10 seconds....the phone WILL power off as it's a hardware function...however if you have the phone plugged into power it may reboot right after back into your rom. While disconnected from power it will stay off. You may need to do a factory reset to get rid of whatever is causing your rom to act that way.
