Hello,
Recently, my phone and I took a splash in a pool. I've never replaced a digitizer before, but since everything was still functioning perfectly fine except the screen, I ordered a Digitizer/LCD. Just finished installing and pieced everything together except the outer shell. Went to boot up, but nothing. I had a full battery before I disassembled it, but figured maybe I didn't connect the battery correctly. I hooked it to the charger and immediately got the "Alcatel One Touch 3 - Powered by Android" splash screen. Then it went to the battery charge icon, (the same that appears when the phone is charging by not on). Tried holding the power button again, but no response. Unplugged/plugged several times and even pulled the plug at the splash screen. Nothing.
I'm pretty certain everything is seated correctly, but does this point to one specific thing I didn't do correctly? Any help is very much appreciated. I've come this far and see the light but so disheartened.
Hello,
Just wanted to update: It's the Power Button. I was able to connect to the charger via a power strip, flipped the switch and jerry-rigged so I could toggle the volume buttons. Currently, the phone is in Android Recovery mode. I can scroll with the volume buttons, but I cannot select (the default language right now), because the Power Button isn't responding.
Anything I can do?
Edit: Looks like I may have snapped the power button ribbon

Hallo everyone,
I have a motorola Xoom wifi (mz604 i guess)... Once (almost 1 year ago) i installed the touch recovery and a ICS stock rooted rom.
It worked always fine.... today I went to check my email, and the xoom was off and i couldn't turn it on... I thought it was the battery, but when the battery is empty, when you try to turn the xoom on you see a red blinking led on the top (next to the front camera)...
But i put the xoom to charge, (the white led on the bottom went on) and when i came back home the led was green.
I tried to turn the xoom on, but surprise, nothing, no reaction, then y plugged the charger once again, and the bottom led went green, but i still can't turn the tablet on.
I tried all keys combinations that are possible.... Power + Volume up, Power + Volume down, Power + Volume Up and Down, Just volume down, Just volume Up, both volume keys...
Then i tried to connect the xoom to the PC, and also no reaction, nothing in the Device Manager.... (i have Windows 8)
Someone have an idea to solve this problem? Or is my tablet really dead?
Thank you very much.

Might sound a bit basic, but when you did the key combinations, did you hold the buttons down for 5-10 seconds? I think power plus volume up is reset button.

.....and you're making sure to press Volume up and then Power?
Hi Luinwethion,
My Xoom is in the same state you described. It happened this morning. There is a white light while charging and a green light after some time. I didn't get any response, with any keys combination.
Have you fixed yours?
Can you send me any tip to bring it to live again?
Thanks in advance.

Take the back cover off, on the bottom side of battery there are two wires-black&red- take them off the socket for 10minutes, when you connect it back again xoom should work!
Quick q: do you hear that click sound when pressing power button?
I have the same problem , my xoom went off without doing anything and it doesn't boot up!
does the disconnecting battery fix the problem ?
What rom you;

I'm in the same boat - the Xoom (USA WiFi) hung up while playing music - I rebooted it (power+up volume) it recovered, but then all the apps started crashing - I rebooted it again and it did not boot - just a blank screen. Battery light shows a charge when connected to a charger.
Does someone have instructions on how to remove the back cover?

It looks like the latest Google Play Services updated has dropped support for our Xoom's
Mine loads, then more GAPPS errors thank you can shake a stick it - if i let the screen time out following a forced reboot it doesnt come back on.
Gutted.
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!
So, phone was working great for a while. After the Camera 2.0 was working with xposed, I decided to flash xposed. Right after installing it, it started randomly rebooting, a lot. Like, whenever anything intensive was happening. About couple days later, I decided it wasn't worth it anymore and I ran the xposed uninstaller and cleared the caches.
It booted up okay. The launcher was pretty sluggish though. I opened up an app and I just got a black screen. Nav buttons were still there along with the status bar. Nav buttons were non responsive. Status bar could be pulled down though. I clicked settings, just to do something. Settings also didn't open. I hit the power button to do a restart, and selected restart. It just hung there for a couple of minutes. I forced a shutdown with Vol Up + Power. It did the three short vibrates and powered down.
Now, it won't power back up. Literally non responsive. It doesn't get to the Sony logo, it doesn't vibrate, screen doesn't turn on, and no LED status light comes on. I plug it into the charger, and no status light comes on. I tried Vol Up + Power again, and still nothing. I can't get it into fastboot or flash mode, or have it give any indication that it is alive. I tried pressing and holding the power off button by the SIM tray and get absolutely nothing.
Any ideas?

At least try plugging it in to your computer, see if it gets recognized

Ah, forgot to mention that. I'm on an osx box right now, but I'm seeing no indication of anything.

Have you held the power button for an extremely long time, like 15 seconds or so?

I'm not an expert in this area but I'd try to get to a windows computer and see if you can get the Sony software to recognize it. Might be able to reflash or repair

FOR ME, XPOSED ALWAYS DAMAGED SONY STOCKROM BEYOND REPAIR SO I ALWAYS HAD TO REFLASH,
but with you it seems extreme
1. holdin power and volume up button for 15 seconds should jerk device thrice and you device will go in to shutdown mode. try connecting to flashmode now
2. if (1) isn't working then old sony ion trick might do the magic, rubber band your z5 across screen horizontaly in a way that volume DOWN BUTTON is pressed for atleast 8+ hourse (over night) , this will DRAIN your battery fast and let motherboard clear the code. then put it to wall charger for over night! after 1+ day it should start giving you RED led / blink which means battery is extremely low. later you will get constant red led and finally you will come to stage where no led will be present. AT this point unplug and try connecting you device to FLASHMODE
3. Also remove sim tray during this process and next to SIM tray there is RESET button (musshy black or yellow soft button) , should be pressed with some soft pointy material ( see attached foto of my z5p)
Just some minutes ago my S7 froze because of Focus Gallery App. I don't exactly know what it did but the phone did not respond any more.
So pressing the power button did not bring back the phone either. After searching for a bit I found a way to simulate a bettery disconnect by pressing Volume Down + Power Button.
The Phone came back up and displayed the initial boot logo. Also the blue LED is on. But nothing happens from here on. I do not come to the "Samsung" boot animation and the phone simply
does nothing. Retriying Volume Down + Power Button doesn't seem to help too. I tryed all button combinations but nothing brings the phone back.
I also cannot enter the recovery menu. So no chance to reset to default settings.
I am running a stock Android on the phone. Nothing was done by me. No custom ROM, no root, just plain Samsung Android.
Is there sill something I can do?
Edit: I just got into whats seems to be ODIN Mode??? Can I do something from here?
Oddly this happened to me last night although I may have inadvertently done it. But the only way I was able to get my phone functioning again was reflashing the OS to the phone.
How did you manage to get the phone into Odin mode? I'm having the same issue with the phone being totally unresponsive but the blue LED on.
if you can reboot your phone with the VOL Down/Power, when the screen goes black, quickly press and hold VOL Up, Home and Power. it should enter recovery. or hold Vol down, Home and Power to enter the download screen.
I have the S7 Edge (rooted, custom ROM) and it's running fine. My girlfriend's regular S7 is having the same issue though.
When she plugged it in to charge last night, she checked it a few minutes later at which point the phone had (started to) reboot. The blue notification LED was on and the screen had frozen at the 'SA' from the 'SAMSUNG' startup logo. Forced a reboot with down+power, resulting in just the blue LED (no logo this time). Phone was unresponsive (couldn't force a reboot again) so left the battery to drain overnight. The phone is completely dead today even after charging - no LED, no boot, no anything.
I'm not sure if she had the phone scheduled to perform an update overnight and it froze halfway through, but that would be my first guess. So far, no fix.
I have a 2nd Gen Moto G that was pretty much in mint condition & prior to yesterday it showed no signs of any potential problems. Then last night the screen completely froze & wouldn't allow any input. The phone then shut itself off & I figured it would just restart & be fine. Instead it went into a constant boot loop where it reaches the white "M" animation screen then shuts right back down. I played around with it for a few hours today & did a ton of searching on the internet with no results.
I also should state that the battery did not die when this happened. I mention that because there were some posts where people let their battery go completely dead then they couldn't get their Moto G to power back on, however that was not case for me as the battery had well over 50% charge when this happened.
Things I have tried in order to fix this:
Using a different charger (both wall and USB to the computer).
-Holding down the power button for 7-10 seconds while plugged in.
-Holding down the power button for 7-10 seconds while not plugged in.
-Holding down the power button for 2 minutes or more (while plugged in and while not plugged in).
-Holding down the power button and volume up buttons until the phone starts (while plugged in and while not plugged in).
-Holding down the power and volume down buttons for 2 minutes or more (while plugged in and while not plugged in).
Now this step does bring up the fastboot menu however selecting any option in this menu just causes the phone to back into the boot loop. And yes I know how to access options in this menu (down volume to scroll & up volume or power button to select).
So basically everything just sends the phone into boot loop. Is the phone toast? Also I should mention that all day today it would randomly try to start itself & get to the Moto animation screen & then shut down & that was while it was sitting on the desk & I hadn't even touched it.
If the phone is toast is there any way I can access files like pictures by plugging the phone into my computer while the fastboot screen is up?
Alright so seeing as no one has any suggestions (understandably) & based on the searching I've done I'm assuming that the phone is just DOA. However does anyone know a possible answer to my second question which is, if the phone is un-savable is there still any way I can access files like pictures by plugging the phone into my computer while the fastboot screen is up?
