Last night my Xoom went into sleep mode after I had looked something up as usual. When I went to use it again, it was dead. Absolutely nothing. Plugging in the power cord never showed it getting a charge. I seriously thought it was dead for sure.
Solution:
Hold power button and volume up button and system came back to life...sort of. I got the motorola logo but at the top of the screen it said something like Starting RSD Protocol 3 and just sat there. Release both buttons, did the same procedure and she roared back to life and is working fine now.
Just thought I would share that in case it happens to anyone else.
Same happened to me about a week ago; My Xoom turned off and would not come on or even start to charge when I plugged it in, I was freaking out, then I accdently hit vol up while trying power for the mill time and it turned on...
Just hold down the power button in it will do the same but just don't load in bootloader

Mine just rolled over and played dead as well. I had about 3 quarters charge, put it in sleep mode and then nothing. Holding down the power button did nothing as well. And like the OP, I had no charge indication when I plugged it in.
The volume up and power combination did bring it back to life. I want to clarify for others who encounter this that just holding the power button alone did nothing.
Sadly I had to look up the fix on my wife's iPad2.
Fortunately she was not home to see that...
Did you flash a kernel? I had the same issue with a kernel I flashed from the Ubuntu thread in the dev section. I flashed to a Tiamet kernel and it went away. Before that I flashed the stock images and then the kernel.
I think its kernel related.

Sorry. It was bad form of me to leave out the OS . Mine is a factory stock Verizon.
I had a similar issue with mine a few weeks back. Battery was at about 50%, plugged it in to charge when I went to bed and woke up and it was completely dead. It took me almost a half hour to get it to start charging again so I could power it on. I didn't do anything fancy with it, no power / vol up magic, it just suddenly decided to start charging again and would power on. I still have no clue as to what the root cause was to my problem, only happened once and no issues since.
I'm running a stock 3.1 ROM and kernel but rooted.
Same thing happened to me last night. Plugged in before bed and wouldn't power up in the morning. I freaked as my Xoom is less than a week old. Power + vol up was the only solution. Strange, but judging by this post this seems to be a trend, hopefully one that will not be a regular occurrence.
Running stock rooted rom with Tiamat kernel conservatively set to 1.2 ghz, although it seems this problem isn't confined to a particular kernel. Wifi only HMJ37 (US) model - It would be handy if everyone with problem reports with their hardware version and kernel etc so that any trends may be documented.

deceased xoom, no charge light but charger was warm as if charging, so held power button and volume UP for probably 10 secs & BADDA BING! power up as normal1:laugh:
I've had this phone for about 5 days now. When I got it the power button was pretty tough to push and it was hard to power on and power off the phone. Today I rooted and unlocked the bootloader. Phone rebooted fine. I powered it down to get into hboot and cannot get the phone to respond now. Will not power up, no charging light when I plug it in, nothing. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

I had the same thing happen to me after flashing a S=off partition to my phone... Have you tried holding down the volume down buttom and power button to hard reset it? hold it up to 20 seconds. If you get no response and when you plug it into your comp and it tells you its installing some weird file then you are HARD BRICKED like i was, only thing i know of you can do at the moment is return it... they cant acces it so just tell them you went to bed after putting it on the charger and when you woke up it was completely dead, it wont respond to anything... worked for me, hope the best for ya...

Well I got it to power on now after leaving the phone sit for a while. The power button is still a pain in the butt to use though.
I was getting no response and my computer was telling me it was installing some weird file. But now it seems to be working like it should. Other than the bad power button.
In the Captivate forums (where I've been the past two years) I've seen people talk about the power button becoming more or less responsive with different ROMs. It seems impossible to me that this could be real, but enough experienced people talked about it that I wonder if there may be some explanation, like the power button isn't just an on/off device but maybe registers distance and/or pressure.
Or maybe everyone who talked about it was imagining it.
If this thread is more appropriate in another section, mods please move.
I'm by no means a lost newbie, having run a rooted & rom'd Epic 4G since release date and flashed it many times, modded, customized, etc, etc.
However, this dang Photon is giving me hell..
Just got the phone yesterday, unlocked the Bootloader, rooted, etc, etc. Tried updating the phone before realizing it doesn't work without stock recovery, so restored the phone back to stock'ish using some TWRP stock dumps someone posted. Flashed stock recovery back, booted, got the phone to download and apply the update, flashed TWRP back, rooted, booted, everything is good. Ok, finally I can get to restoring some data using Titanium. Restored a few things, it was getting late, and I knew it would take a while to restore my SMS/MMS messages so I kicked that off before going to bed. Phone was plugged into the charger all night. Woke up this morning and the phone was only at 50% and the SMS/MMS restore in Titanium seemed to be hung. Phone was still fully responsive, accessed the market, checked emailed, then I shut the phone down via the power menu in order to un-hang that Titanium restore...phone turns off, then shows the unlocked bootloader screen, then shows a backlit black screen and will do nothing else. Won't turn off, no combination of vol up/down and power will get into recover or fastboot. Phone has just been sitting there for about an hour now with a blank/black (but backlit so it is powered on) screen.
Any thoughts or suggestions or am I screwed at this point?
I don't know why I'm having such issues with even mildly modding this phone...
Ok, after about an hour and a half of just sitting there, the phone showed to be fully shut down. Was able to boot in to TWRP, so I then exited and rebooted and it booted all the way into the OS.
Not sure what happened or why, but I hope I'm good now.

When you powered off the device was it still on thee charger? When I power off and mine is on the charger it does the same thing. I just unplug the powr and then use poer button and vol dwn at same time to pwr off. Just threw that out there just in case it happened again.

It was plugged in when I did, but a few moments later after it did what it did I unplugged it, still was unresponsive to any power key / vol key combo, tossed it in my pocket & left for work. Tried it a few more times on the way to work, still nothing, tried it again when I go to work, still nothing, then grabbed the phone to check on it about another 30 mins later and it had fully turned off on it's on.
Who knows...been fine since.
I got a new S2 and put it on the charger until it showed to be 100% charged. I got ready to set it up and pair with my phone. I press the power button and absolutely nothing happens. No vibration, no sound, no screen coming on. I put it back on the charger and it now showed to be at 98%. Tried to power it on while on the charger. Same thing happened. Is there something I am missing here or is this a defective device that I need to send back?
Are you sure you pressed the power button?
Otherwise your device is defective, Its a good idea to send it back.
I pressed the right one. I even held it for over 10 seconds to try to reset it. But on the off chance I was wrong, I also pressed and held the other botton as well. Didn't matter which I pressed, the results were the same. I just went ahead and did an rma for it.
Hey guys,
Something odd happened this morning and now I am sitting around with a $700 paperweight. Woke up and took the phone off of charge like I usually do and started to read the news. about 10 minutes in the screen and touch buttons froze so I decided to reboot the phone, To my surprise the phone never came back on.
I've tried VOL Down + Power for 30 seconds even longer out of desperation along with just the power button and VOL Up + power to no avail, The phone is dead, Simply dead. I just wanted to reach out to the community to see if I am just one of the lucky ones or if anyone else has had this happen to them?

I don't know which variant you have but look for the MSM download tool thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/msm-tool-guac-t3934691
Have you tried volume up and volume down while you press the power button? Release only the power button when you feel a vibration. I got mine stuck with a black screen while I was tinkering. I know it's a different situation, but it's worth a shot. If it works, you'll end up in bootloader mode. Just use the volume keys to select reboot, and tap the power button to select it.
