The LED light is blinking (slow), i touch the screen, push the power button and volume buttons and the phone will turn on. I have to plug the charger or usb so the screen can come on. I swipe the screen, push the power/volume buttons and phone will revert back to black screen. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with the phone!

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.

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.
I have researched the "related threads" and none are similar to the issue I am having.
The phone turned off midcall and fails to turn on afterwards. I thought it was the battery, but it still fails to turn on after charging over night.
It boots up to show the logo, after a battery pull and turns back off.
If I I press down the power button + down volume+ menu, I get the warning about a custom install of an OS may damage the phone and if i want to continue to press the volume up, or cancel.
The phone only lasts about 5 seconds, after every battery pull, other wise it won't turn on again.
I haven't gotten a blank white screen nor the Android logo.
Thank you.
Update: I believe I confirmed it is a power button issue.
What I used to confirm it was pressing the volume down button and menu without the power button and was able to see the Warning as if I had pressed all three. Also, the phone vibrates as soon as I place in the battery.
Issue now is: Supposedly the cause is due to a stuck power button, but physically the power button is not stuck. It clicks when pressed.
So I accidentally dropped my Shield tablet and it landed on the side where the buttons were. Now the button are broken I can't press the power button and the volume buttons. The tablet itself is shutdown so I can't turn it on.
When I connect the tablet into a charger the screen turns on and shows the battery icon and telling me it's charging..
So is there anyway if I can turn it on without the button or is there any way that I can fix it.
The warranty has expired....
P.S i have contacted nvidia and they told me they can't do anything about it
Go to a technician. They can definitely fix some buttons.
Hey,
When I try to unlock my phone with the power button, the capacity buttons light up and the screen also seems to light up but it is just black. The touchscreen is still working because I am able to restart the phone (by holding the power button and swiping down and then holding the power button).
The weird thing is that the phone just displays everything correctly if I power it on, but once I lock it, it all goes wrong.
Is there any way I can fix this problem? Thank you in advance!
Hi guys,
TLDR; Phone won't turn on, notification light flashes red once on power up (sometimes), black screen all the time. :crying:
So my brother has asked me to try and fix his Nexus 5 as he isn't tech savvy at all.
So the problem he is having started when he tried powering the phone on and it started to boot up and then started resetting iteself.
It now will not power on at all and doesn't seem to be on at all.
When holding the power button, it will sometimes flash the notification light (at the bottom) red for a second or two. No other response from the phone.
I've tried holding the power button for up to 5 minutes with nothing. I've tried holding the V+ key with the power button for a few seconds up to a few minutes then tried pressing the buttons expected to get to a reset menu with no indication of anything.
I'm kind of lost and was wondering if anyone has had these issues before and know what is the best issue to try and repair?
Thanks
It could be a faulty power button which is a common issue with the Nexus 5.
Remove the logic board, clean around the power button with isopropyl alcohol, dry it, quickly press and release the power button using more pressure than normal, re-install, and try to boot.
You could also try this: hold volume + button and connect the phone to a computer using a USB cable.
Thanks audit13, I'll give it a shot and shout back if it works
