LTE 32GB bricked by himself - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Yesterday while i was watching ads in some freemium game tablet just turned off. I plug it to original charger and tried to turn on, but screen do not light up. Then I tried to press Power Button with Volume Up or Volume Down for from couple to 30 seconds but without any luck. When i connected tablet to PC, it shows as "APX" and system can not find drivers for it. When it is connected to PC via USB cable and when i press Power Button and Volume Up or Volume Down for 10 seconds light change from orange to green and tablet dissappear from device list in windows device manager and when i do it again it comes back as APX (doesn't matter which combination) so it looks like i can not get into fastboot mode.
What happend? What can i do to bring it back to life which was stopped for no apparent reason?
Tablet was flashed and after updated couple of months ago to newest OTA via ADB and it is with B01 battery.
My PC is on Windows 7.

[Q] Help transformer will not come on

My transformer has been my right hand since June and all of the sudden I'm without it. Was listening to a podcast via beyondpod this morning and paused the audio via my BT headset. Went to a meeting, then lunch. Came back two hours later and my tablet wouldn't turn on. I figured it was a sleep of death that randomly occurs so I held the power button in for 30 seconds or so to reboot, but that didn't work. It was still on because I could hear audio notifications for calendar appointments.
Tried the power button for 60-90 seconds, still nothing on screen. In the past I've been able to plug in the charger when this occurred and it would pop the screen on, tried that, but got no results.
I tried plugging it into my laptop to see if I could get ADB active and do a reboot. Windows saw the device and loaded the ADB driver, but if I tried adb devices it showed no devices. I long pressed the power button again and the windows device manager reset, adb devices now showed the transformer, but in offline mode. I couldn't run any commands.
Next I tried the "soft reset" utilizing the volume up and power button. This didn't do anything, except that the next time I attached it to my laptop it prompted me for an APX driver. I didn't know at the time this was for NVFlash (I rooted my device before the SBK was out with the initial blob tools from androidroot.mobi).
Now when I hook up my transformer I get no response from my computer and no response from the buttons on my tablet.
I'm at a loss and would love any suggestions or ideas to get my tablet back up and running.
This is resolved, I was finally able to get it rebooted via the volume down button and power while hooked to my laptop. I have no clue what was going on with it, but its still acting hinky.
Do we have any hardware diagnostics?
my tablet just started doing the same thing. O_O asus is trying to get us to buy their new slates, so they broke our current ones. /s
Something is seriously wonky here. My wifi keeps turning shutting down but being stuck at turning off. My power button is very inconsistent.
I think I'm going to fully wipe the system and start from scratch...
Been a couple months, but I'm back in the frozen state again. I charged my TF101 over night, pulled it off the charger and validated it was in a SOD. I put it in my sleeve and headed to the office. I turned on my BT headset to listen to a Podcast, but it didn't connect. I grabbed the tablet and it was screen on, frozen at 7:29am.
I can't for the life of me get this thing to reboot. I've held the power button in for 60 seconds, tried power button with volume down to boot recovery. I tried on AC power and off. I tried to hook to my PC, but the USB is not recognized at all.
I don't know if I just need to let this thing die (which will take forever) or what to do to get this rebooted.
Power button feels like it is catching when I press it in...
If you take off the outer bezel (be mindful of your micro sd card if you have one) you can push the actual power button itself. It should be a simple hold the button down for about 3-5 seconds and it'll reboot.

Black Screen, Green Power LED, APX with USB connect to PC?

So, I am in new territory here. My tf300t suddenly stopped working. I had previous unlocked the tablet (years back) but never installed a custom rom. It was working fine for a few years and I factory wiped along the way a couple times. So a couple months ago I did a factory reset again and it seemed fine for a few weeks. Yesterday I picked it up and I can't get it to turn on. Here are the symptoms:
It will charge and shows a green LED
Can only get a Black screen and will not boot, no ASUS screen or anything
I tried holding power for 30 seconds
I tried holding power and volume down for 30 seconds
I tried the tiny reset hole with a paper clip and the same with power button
When I connect to my computer with a USB it shows up as APX on Windows 10
Is it just dead now? Bricked? Thanks for any insight! Seems strange but maybe it decided to die.

I have no idea what happened to your tablet. If I were in your boots, I would install "Minimal ADB & Fastboot" from here: http://freeandroidroot.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-all-versions/. Then please check whether the USB driver are installed or not. If not get them here: https://androidmtk.com/download-asus-usb-drivers.
Connect your tablet via USB with your PC. The devise manager should show "Android Phone" => ASUS Composite ADB Interface and "Portable Devices" => TF300
After that seen you have access via ADB to your tablet. Then please flash the latest Asus firmware update to get your tablet on a clean stock rom. For assistance please search the forum. Good luck!

My phone doesn't turn on after rooting.

I'd accidentally deleted many of my screenshots from my phone, a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime (16GB). But then, I wanted to recover my photos, so I used Dr. fone by Wondershare to recover my photos. I was told to turn on Developer Options and then turn on USB debugging. I did that and plugged my phone to my PC. The Dr. fone said that it would root my phone temporarily to access the deleted photos and then unroot the phone once completed, but I accidentally disconnected the connection between the phone and PC because the cable's connector pin was loose.
Since then, my phone wouldn't react at all when I press or hold any button, I tried holding the power button for more than 10 seconds, then 30 seconds, then the home button, then the power+volume down, and every possible button combination for over 30 seconds. But nothing happens. But the entire time since I disconnected the cable, my phone's LED indicator was a solid red color. What does that mean? Now, I didn't charge the phone later, and the red LED disappeared. So, what do I do now? I got this for my birthday present and it's gone in two months. (and I'm only 15, I can't go and buy another phone).
I still have 10 months of warranty remaining. Will Samsung give me a replacement or something? And my PC doesn't show the phone when connected to my PC too.
Please help! :crying:
Try to connect in the download mode, and install the Stock ROM, if you need help, send a private message to me

Phone unresponsive, even to volume up + power button combination

Hello folks,
* mistake in title: I mean volume down + power
I'm having some trouble with my Samsung Galaxy S6 not responding.
I can't remember which Android version it has; it's whatever it came with in 2015, so it's Marshmallow or earlier. The phone is not rooted, not modified. I think that USB debugging is enabled.
The phone is showing a slowly blinking blue notification light.
It does not respond to pressing any of the keys, does not respond to soft reset (volume down + power), does not respond to hard reset (volume up + power + home).
When plugged into a computer via USB cable the computer does not give the option to connect to the phone.
Running "adb devices" at the (Ubuntu) command line with phone connected returns blank list of devices.
What are my options? Is there some other reset option I haven't yet tried?
Did u figure it out? I am having the same problem, thinking of changing the motherboard.
Same problem here, I wake up and the phone was dead, without touching it
It has RR OS 6.2 Android 8.1, no notification light, just nothing... Dead
This is weird, it's happening to me too, the same days...
If you find something about or see other S6 users with the same problem comment here
It is stupid answer, but leave phone for discharging battery, charge for a 15%, maybe (for quick discharge, if phone gets stuck again), and try to turn on. If it's doesn't helps, you can go to recovery and do reset.

Phone died

Was charging my phone and I saw it had a fb notification. As I clicked on it, the phone froze and then shut itself down after 10 seconds. Now the charging LED doesn't come on when plugged in and the phone won't boot up anymore. No combination of volume keys or power button does anything. When I plug it into my computer, it is recognized as "QHUSB_BULK" and won't let me access it in any way.
Any ideas or is it time to just bury this phone and upgrade?
