I have a rooted HD 10 2017 and, once in a while, it will not wake up from standby on its own. My understanding is that when you close the lid from the case it goes to standby. There are times when I open it, it stays a black screen. Pressing the power button for over 20 seconds does not wake it up. The only way to wake it up is to attach AC power to it and then it hard reboots.
Is this normal behavior or should it get looked at? I got it last Thanksgiving Black Friday sale for $99.

Not normal behaviour, maybe try a factory reset? Sometimes, very strange things happen after rooting the Fires, maybe because they are not like other tablets.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to flash stock, and if even that doesn't work, ask Amazon for a replacement.

My transformer wakes up fine after a minute or two, but if I leave it for 5-10 minutes and hit the power button, nothing happens
I can long press, then press again (rebooting), but I can't get the darn thing to "wake" back up after some downtime
any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?
Mine just went to sleep and i can't even get it to re-boot.
Had it less the 24 hours and now seems dead when on 90% battery
Any idea's?
kk it is re-booting when held down for about 15 secs, when i plug in to the PC with usb and how the power down you get the disconnect noise to say it is powered down.
Odd its getting stuck in sleep as it was on sleep having charge all last night and woke up fine this morning.
Just want to make sure you are rebooting correctly ... hold the power button down for 5 seconds then let go and wait for a couple seconds, then hold it down for a couple seconds to turn it back on

yer just the 5 secs feels like forever when it wouldn't turn on. :S
I hate it when your new toy's act dead.
Not sure it's related, as I don't have my Transformer yet (thursday or friday it should be here!), but I had a similar issue on an Archos 101. Turning off the screen timeout resolved it.
Seems like when you put it into 'sleep' by tapping the power button, if you let it sit longer than the screen timeout was set, it would, well, turn off the screen... and you couldn't turn it back on.
Had to do the whole 'hold the power button for X seconds' to force it off, then turn it back on.
Just wondering, might be something to try - turn off the screen timeout and see if it wakes up OK.
Trust me bud, I know. And what's worse, you can't return this one and get a new one due to supply issues (you would have to wait a long time for your replacement)
I also have some light bleed issues, those I can live with... this I cannot

mod's you can close this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056088 is the exact same thing.
So I hit the power button to put the tablet into standby and put it on my nightstand. A few hours later I came back to use it and it was stuck on a black screen and the tablet was very hot. It seemed like the the screen wasn't really "on," but the backlight was so it just looked like a black screen. I held the power button to turn it off and I then turn it back on. I took it out of its' leather case while it was rebooting and it was very hot. So hot I couldn't hold it for very long. I checked Battery Widget? Reborn! Pro to see what the battery temp was at. The app read it at 107 degrees Fahrenheit. I turned off the tablet let it cool a bit, then restarted it. Everything seemed fine and performed normally. For some reason airplane mode was activated when I initially restarted the tablet. It seems to do that when Tasker shut it down after the 3 hours of the screen being off. The thing is, I uninstalled Tasker a day ago.
Is there any chance this caused damage inside the tablet that may turn up later?
Anyone know why or how this happened?
Thanks,
Aaron

If it's acting normal for 1 day with normal use, I think you're safe.

I'll watch it closely for a few days to make sure. I appreciate the reply. 107F doesn't sound too hot when it comes to electronics, but, man, was it hot to touch/hold.

The same thing happened to me once, about two months ago. I wasn't using tasker...don't know what caused it but I may have had it on IPS+ and didn't turn it off. Anyway, I freaked, but as soon as it cooled down it seemed to work fine and has been fine ever since.

Funny thing is my power button and volume rocker were kind of sticky and stiff. Since the tablet heated up, the buttons don't make a popping sensation or feel stiff when I press them. Haha. Amazing.
My myTouch worked for a really long time, even while overclocked. Today, when I was playing a game (Minecraft) it gets much hotter than normal. So I place it on my fan, just a floor fan, to let it cool down. Once it's cooled down, I resume my game. Out of nowhere, it just freezes and shuts off, then restarts, then turns off again once the BIOS splash goes away. It doesn't power on until I press the power button, then it only runs the BIOS splash and shuts off again. I try again, and it powers on to the boot screen, and then it shuts off again shortly after. I try it again, then just BIOS. And yet again, then a successful boot after letting it charge for about 10 minutes. I take a shower and when I come out it works fine, but 10 seconds into use, while I pressed the Bluetooth notification drawer widget button, it freezes and shuts off. From here on, it won't power on at all. I plug it into computer, nothing. All that works is the dim red LED on the trackpad. I press the power button, trackpad light turns on for a few seconds, then off. I press again, turns on for a second then off. When I hold the power button, the light is on and blinks every 10 seconds. No key combos work. Charge light does not come on when plugged in to either computer or wall charger. Any fix for this?
Not a fun situation, very possible your emmc is fried but there is a chance its just the battery. Let it charge overnight and if possible test a new battery
But there is a high likelihood you're going to need a new logicboard
If you're after a new device I do have a few oneplus one invites left...
Best of luck!

I have a very similar problem, i recently came across the mytouch 4g slide in the closet and remembered that it died due to charging overnight, 2-3 years ago lol, well the phone still does what it did after it died, no vibrations screen etc, the only sign of life is the two red lights one at the top left of the screen and the trackpad, could this be just the battery that got fried that night? Should of gotten this fixed those years ago but just got a new phone instead.
Possible but could also be a sign of a bad logic board
I have an extra one if any of you want it, not selling it, I can just mail it to ya, PM me about it, whatever. It's got moderate chips and dents, but works fine except sometimes the soft keys don't always work and you have to restart the phone. It has the latest CWM recovery and the latest 4.4.4 ION ROM. No SD card ships, but baseband and all wireless works, but uh, it's SIM locked and S is still ON. Bootloader is unlocked. I'll give you an extra screen and an extra battery, too.
I fixed the one I posted this thread about after I realized I could buy a new motherboard directly from HTC with a few hidden strings pulled (I'm just that special) and before that I ordered the one I'm talking about now that I'm trying to get rid of on Amazon.
So, yeah. best way to fix one is to get a new motherboard, the one from HTC's old stock warehouse that I got took a week or so to ship, and I cracked the casing opening it and almost ripped a connector ribbon, and I also think that this phone surpasses the G1 as the most mechanically intricate device I've disassembled. I've done a few, but man, this blew the top.
So after owning my original S8+ for 3 months, the battery died one night and upon charging the next morning, I had the black screen of death. The phone would respond to my touches, it would charge, etc but the screen would never come on.
I ended up getting a replacement and putting this one in my drawer for a year. I pulled it out a week ago and plugged it in to the charger randomly and still nothing. After 2-3 hours (enough to fully charge it), I started pulling and plugging in the charge cable, along with continuous power button cycles; and BAM, the screen came on like nothing was wrong.
I unlocked it, used it for hours, backed it up just in case; and left it running on wifi. After a couple days of it running down, it was still working fine. Once it got down to ~10% battery, the screen stopped coming on.
I charged it back up to 100% and I"m now getting the always-on screen to show up. I can see the battery %, date/time and the home button on the bottom
As soon as I hit anything though, either the screen to unlock, or the power button, the screen goes off. It is responding to my inputs and I can unlock the phone via intelligent unlock/pin code/fingerprint, but something is causing it to not light up once it kicks off the always-on screen.
I've tried resetting it, as well a pwr down+bixby+power to get in to recovery mode; but even once it restarts the screen still wont turn on until it gets back to the point the always-on screen would come on.

Wow you hyped me up at 4 am I woke up and started to unplug and plug the phone while pressing the power butto
Now by chance have you guys tried to order a battery just to see. Samsung's are noted to do really weird stuff if the batteries are failing

So not to get you excited again at 4am but... I was able to get it back to life after plugging it in and letting it charge fully then repeating the steps in my original post.
It is definitely an error relating to the waking of the phone from the always on screen. I discovered this after toggling the always on settings then using the plugging/unplugging, home button press on the screen, power button harassment on the phone, causing it to finally spazz out completely and then out of nowhere the AOD blasts on.
i know this, it seems to be perfectly ok again until the battery does start to die. once it gets down to 15-20%, it will eventually go dark again until i get lucky and it gets enough juice aid/or tired of me touching everything at once.
I have a Surface 2 tablet that stopped booting about 6 months ago. The charging light on the plug will come on when attached. It is supposed to be running Windows RT 8.1 with latest patches. I tried long press power, Long press power with Vol+, Long press power with Vol-, etc. Plug in with and without type cover. Power on with micro-HDMI to monitor. There does not appear to be any sign of life.
I checked the power supply and the voltage reading seems good.
I looked at several video and the Surface 2 is pretty difficult to disassemble. I heard that there is a recovery USB available but I am not sure it is worth me spending time on it. Can someone tell me if recover through USB will at least show a logo or something on screen before it read from the USB? Is there any use for the seemingly dead tablet? The Surface 2 has a great screen. I hope I could use it as a picture frame or eReader of some sort.
As a last resort you might try and hold the power button down for 24 hours (rubber band and ice cream stick works).
Then release the power button from the rubber band and then short press the power button.
Mine is pretty much dead but that method at least gets the surface logo appearing. (I get a little buzz from the Surface when i press the power button). Logo stays for 15 or so seconds. Then the screen goes black with no other signs of life. I only get once chance to do this before I have to wait another 24 hours. Pressing the button again does nothing. I then wait another 24 hours in the vain hope that it springs back to life.
Also tried using recovery stick to see if it boots. It doesn't.
Hope you have a better result.
