wont turn on unless its plugged in

hey guys i just got my transformer today. a couple of times i shut it off and when i try to turn it back on it wont work unless i plug it in, even though the battery is above 90%

I have a very similar issue.
I have the B40 model, when I shut down, I can't turn back on. I have been leaving my TF on all day then just shut down at night and when I come to turn on in the morning, iit is fine. Today I had to restart due to wifi constantly saying it was turning off for no reason, upon shutting down, it wouldn't power back up. I hav left it for approx 1 and a half hours, still nothing. Doesn't make any difference if it is plugged in or not. My battery is full.
Really could do with some help with this issue, as it is really spoiling what I regard as a brilliant device.

Once you plug it in and it come on, does it stay on when you take the charger off?
Once on and you hit the power button does it do anything?
You might have a faulty power button IMO.

I don't know about Krueger, but mine doesn't do anything when you plug it in. I have to wait a few hours. When I last shutdown, I was trying to restart, it just never did. I had full charge. I can't even get into APX mode. My TF is stock unrooted. Power button works just fine when tablet is on, does exactly as it should.

I've seen reports of peoples getting this "deep sleep" and not able to turn it on easily. Not sure if there's a definite fix or not. Some peoples say they have good luck turning of the lock screen, some say they fixed it by factory resetting the tablet.

Cheers m8.
I will give this a try when I can turn it back on again. Its been approx 6 hrs now since I tried to restart it. I will have to wait till morning I think. When it has done it previously, I have left it on charge all night, even though there was more than half in it each time, and it seems to start up after about 7 - 10 seconds of holding the power button in.
Thanks again

So I have spent 15 mins listening to the back of the device while trying toturn on. From what I can hear it sounds like a quiet jet engine firing up for approx 1-1 and a quarter seconds then sounds like the jet engine turning off (I know this sounds wierd, but best way I can describe). Its almost like there isnt enough power to fire it all the way up. There also other noises going on even when I dont try and turn it on, so I don't think it is fully turned of. Maybe a deep sleep issue. I did notice on this occassion, befor I tried to restart that I had no internet connection and when I went to check wifi settings it said Wifi is turning off. I leave it set to default.
Thanks

[Q] Htc Sensation XE half-dead. Please help.

Hey guys, it's been a long time since i don't post anything here. I've recently bought a very cheap used Htc Sensation XE. But he came to me with this issues:
- It doesn't turn on.
- My notebook doesn't recognize it, when I connect it with a USB cable.
- When I connect it to the charger a orange led turned on, stood turned on for a few seconds, then turned off. Stood turned off for a few seconds the turned on again. This went on and on for a while, until the phone vibrated, then nothing else happened. If I remove the charger then put it back on, the process will repeat itself.
Has anyone been through this? I really need some help.
Thank you all for the attention!

Perfect friend, now just wait, the staff is very good here.

Okay. How long have you tried leaving the phone on charge?
Have you tried booting to bootlaoder?
Hold down Volume down + Power button.
If the bootloader screen is accessible, can we please know what it says?

I think he does not have access to the bootloader ...

The last time it stood 30 minutes on charge. I've tried booting into bootloader but it doesn't work. The phone won't even vibrate to indicate it is turning on

Check if that battery is a tight fit. If not, try putting in a piece of paper (like a business card) on the edge opposite to battery contacts.
Also, have you tried a different battery?
Get these drivers, install them and restart your PC.
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Then try connecting your phone to the PC.

Solved? But how?
In the exact same problem. Is your problem solved? In that case, how was it solved? I know it's an old thread, but seems the only hope. Someone please help!

Power button doesn't turn on device unless you reseat battery

Hello geniuses!
I have a problem. I recently purchased a LG G3 unlocked from a seller on Swappa and the device appears to work however there is a funny glitch i recently discovered about this phone. Maybe its mine only. But heres what happens....
I boot into phone like normal, after a days use, and sometimes when preparing to switch cases and what not, i shut down the phone remove battery and clean the device sometimes.. I notice that if the phone is ON, and when i choose Reboot, The phone reboots fine. But if i choose POWER OFF.
The phone powers off, and when i try to boot it back up again, it doesnt let me, it just stays blank.. But the second i take out the battery, place it back in, and then push the power button once, it powers on fine.. What on earth is happening here?..... any idea? Please help.

Idol 3 won't turn on!!

Hey, I have an unrooted and stock idol 3 that I was just playing a game on when suddenly the screen turned bright blue and then off. I tried to turn it on and it showed the Alcatel screen and then went blue again and this time turned off for good. I tried to go in to the recovery but that doesn't work either. I held down the power and volume for lots of time and in many different combinations also to no avail. The only thing the phone does is that the notification light turns on when the charger or usb to the computer is plugged in. Has anyone come across something like this and has any ideas how I can fix it? Any and all help will be appreciated, thank you.

Same here. Yesterday I was opening the camera app and the screen went blue. I've press the power and up button but the phone doesn't turn on.
What can I do?

I called Alcatel's customer service and they told me to send it in, luckily I didn't root my phone or anything, that's what I'm going to do. If you need to call them, the phone number is 855-368-0829

wow, that totally sucks. G/l with the repair/fix.

it looks it died simply. Can happen, nobody is perfect. Hope you get lucky with replacement.

@Cheeseball14 same thing happened to me. how did you proceed after calling the costumer service number? Were you asked to ship in the phone?

same issue as your post and others , i did call the alcatel warranty number , sent it to the Texas repair center , got my phone back , and still the same issues for the phone turned on and off , then screen turned blue , and didn't want to turn back on , then i called again, sent it again , they send me a pre paid shipping la label , hoping this time they will fix the problem, the web calls this blue screen of death

Fix Idol 3 won't turn on.

I took mine back to seller (Bell). There they reset it to particular factory settings. Need to be careful otherwise to not erase the full system. Just a factory reset by Bell or your supplier.

Did your phone turn on? How could bell reset if it doesn't turn on like op's phone?

notification led suddenly turn on, and wont turn off

My notification led suddenly got turned on and and its not turning off. I didint apply any settings to turn it on. It keeps on, even when the phone is switched off. I tried clearing cache and dalvik cache, but no use. Please some one help me. Its been now around 12 hours.
Pls help

Unplug your charger... Should fix it.
Or if you're on a custom ROM disable it in the settings
Other wise install moto led app

Bro.. there is no charger connected. Even when the phone is switched off, the led is on. I tried the led app, nothing changes.

well than its a hardware defect. i heard it also turnes on when battery is to low to even power the display but idk,

Did the phone become wet recently? Sometime ago one person reported that after his phone was dropped in water, the led turned on and didn't turn back off. If even a factory reset dosen't turn it off now, sadly I guess you may have to send it to Moto.

Same problem with LED on Moto G 2015
My daughters phone has this same problem, just turned on one day and has never turned off even when powered off. I would like to avoid rooting, but would if needed in order to use some of the apps available but require root. Have not factory reset yet. Maybe opening it up and disconnecting the battery. Any ideas. Thanks

Same thing happened to me about three months ago. I had the phone in my pocket while working in the yard. I guess I was sweating too much, phone was wet when I took out out. The LED was on and stayed that way for a while, although it did get dimmer over the next few weeks. Finally after about a month, the LED went out and hasn't turned back on since. Just give it time and see what happens.
Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

same thing happened to me, I was unaware of the fact that moto g3 has a led, it would be on even when the phone is switched off, but after days the led faded away on its own but not completely I until I rooted and tried different ROMs, now on stock ROM and the led is no more shining.
