I have a case on my Nexus 7 that uses the four sensors on the side to turn the screen on and off. I was using the tablet just fine, then I close the case like normal, and upon opening it, it would not turn on. The only way to get a response from the device is by plugging it in and the screen just lights up black. Any type of power reset using the button combinations result in the screen shown in the video at the end of the post.

Solution: I removed the back cover and disconnected and reconnected the battery.

Not that I can recall. The tablet is purely my Portable Netflix/Evernote slave. I've left it on the wall charger for 24 hours, and on a usb port charger for 24 hours, to see if that helps but that won't do anything.

Check the stickies in the dev section, they will show you how to root/unroot and flash back to stock. You can likely just use the updated nexus 7 toolkit.

Good deal!
There have been a couple threads where folks reported similarly-behaving screens. "sparkles", "static", "like an old tv screen", et cetera. I think at least several of them were similarly traced to battery charge issues or loose terminals on the battery connector.
Maybe add "[SOLVED]" to your thread title and it will help future visitors with the same issue.

So... I cannot turn on my Asus tf101 unless I plug it in to a power source, once the screen lights up I can unplug it immediately and it functions normally when turned on. I bought this device refurbished from best buy a few months back, I dealt with the issue but now am looking to sell it. Any ideas on how to fix this? I have never rooted the device, however I have tried factory resets and cold boots.

Are you holding the pwr button long enough. If so,it sounds like the switch is bad.
I hold the power button for 12 seconds and try it with different variation holding volume keys. It functions fine when the device is powered on.

It could be a bad battery or your charger is only giving enough to power the device on. I would try a new charger first.

Do you have the keyboard docking station for it?
Are you on custom ROM or OEM?
What "app killers" are you running?
Some custom ROM's have had similar issues a long while back. maybe yours is getting that issue IF your running custom.
Keyboard dock, if you have it, does it do the same thing for powering on, where it needs to be plugged in to start the screen?
I only ask about the app killers because I had experienced a similar issue about a year ago due to an app killer I had installed. Removed it, and the phone worked fine. Put it back on and it reverted back to having to be plugged in to start the screen.
Have you tried a clean wipe of everything on the tablet? And I do mean CLEAN, no dirty flashes here (keep your pants on bud).
Lastly have you given the charge port a good ole blow out lately? Long bursts aren't really going to do any damage, but I would stick to short quick bursts of compressed gas, again NO VACUUM CLEANERS. They create static and the charge port is quite susceptible to static discharge.
I know your pretty intelligent, but let me put it out there again. DON'T be a fool and use alcohol on your tool.
This post made me laugh. I do not have the keyboard docking station. I have never installed any task killers as I do not believe in them. The tablet has been running the stock ROM the whole time and has never been tampered with.

But you never said if you gave the ole girl a good ole cleaning in the slot.
I would venture to say that you need to send it in to Asus or take it back to Best Buy (if your able to). It sounds like there may be a voltage issue with the digitizer or the inverter.
And NEVER EVER EVER Invert your digits while cleaning out the slot.
You also didn't say if you went deep up in the ole girl and gave her a good rootin.
I'm working with Asus right now and of course there's something wrong with my serial number. Nerve been rooted. Blew it out and that did nothing.

Please keep us posted as I am curious to know how ASUS customer service is to deal with.
Well, I am trying to send my TF to Asus to fix the problem and they are a bit annoying. I have just dealt with HTC before and that was wonderful, but here they have send me 4 emails asking me to wipe, to update and to do everything that I have already done, and after that they have sent me to another web to fill another questionary. With HTC I just had to told them the IMEI and in 4 days I had my phone back
I had similar issue with mine. It was one of the reason I took back to best buy and used the buy back.
I then picked up the Nexus 7.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I had a similar issue, do you use your device often ?
I figured out after a couple of months that each time it showed this behaviour the battery was in fact empty and it was in fact the root of the problem.
My transformer take much longer time to boot when plugged even with a full battery, and when it's empty it doesn't boot at all.
I must plug it, wait for it to be enough charged to boot unplugged, and do so. Then plug it back when started.
Considering that the transformer on stock cannot shut off when plugged to its keyboard (or even to USB ? Or is it just mine ? When I shut it off plugged to the keyboard then close it, it boot on again) When the tablet is left for several days unused the battery will be empty.

Do the power and volume buttons work normally once fully booted? I have had similar issues, one was improperly seated power button, the other was a loose ribbon cable way down in the guts of this beast. Also, was this happening the whole time you've had it , or after a firmware update?
Right now I'm dealing with one that the screen won't stay on once I get into ics unless I'm plugged in. I went in and noticed that if the auto brightness wasn't set, it works. So I tweaked the settings in display time off when unplugged and uninstalled some screensaver app, and now it's working fine. It was probably the first thing, even though was already set to one minute. Anyway, just letting people know sometimes it isn't hardware. But the op probably is since he's done factory reset.
okay my phone was fine intill i started undervolting , but it was acting funny , i tried to go into teamwin recovery and it asked for a password that i never set , so then i flashed clockworkmod recovery , i tried to flash cyanogenmod again but my sdcard partition was clean , had no files at all , so i used the nexus root toolkit (version 1.6.3) to put it on stock , after i flashed stock my baseband and imei went missing , then i flashed the baseband from 4.2.2 and i installed cyanogenmod once again STILL had no imei or baseband , so i go to install stock ONCE AGAIN , after downloading a image straight from google but when i went to flash it , it was flashing the baseband , the phone is supposed to restart and the command prompt currently says waiting for device but MY SCREEN STAYED BLACK i dont know whats going , i tried holding my power button for 10 seconds or going into recovery or seeing if an icon pops up to show if its charging , NOTHING did i really just paperweight my phone ? please help when i connect my phone it says it cannot find driver for "QHSUSB_DLOAD" please help me , please ask developers or something , i know my nexus cant just die like this ... :crying: :crying: :crying:

nevermind RMA is not an option they put a temporary hold on your card of 350 *you basically purchase a whole new phone* they remove the hold once they receive and check your old phone , my mom doesnt have 350 in her card , yikes

Hi,
This is not the phone that is fragile, it's what the user do with it... If you flash a kernel from a Nexus 7 to the Nexus 4... for me it's legitim to have "a little problem"... It's the same thing for all the phones, try to flash a kernel from another phone instead the one make for your phone and see the result...
If you don't read correctly and don't paid attention at what you do or flash... It's not the phone that is the responsible...

You bought a Nexus device. Use it. Root it. Flash it. Play with it. You worry too much. Stop being so paranoid. Again, if you carefully do the correct steps you will get the results you desire. If you miss a step you will be sad that you screwed up your phone. If you're in math class and you miss a step to the formula to the equation you will get it all wrong. Pay attention to all the little details. You will be a pro at rooting in the future if you follow the steps meticulously.

im guessing so. i had the "red light of death" last night. i was using my phone at like 2% battery left, rebooted it and it said i had 5% left. big whoop my battery calibration is a little jacked. well i kept using it and instead of going through the shutting down thing when the battery died, the screen just went blank. again, because the battery calibration is way off. so i plug it in, and the light turns red for about 10 seconds. then the light turns off, and the battery charging icon appeared. i waited 10 mins for it to get a small charge then booted right up. not a single problem. i really dont get why everyone is having such freak accidents and problems with this phone.

So my nexus had been unplugged and without charge for about 3 weeks or so, I've been very busy at work. I try and connect the tablet so that i can use again and the screen flickers for an instant and nothing happens, I don't see the white icon charging animation and no response after that. It's my tablet done or is there a solution for this. Thanks to anybody that can help.

Ok, I don't really know what exactly the problem is. But I think the battery seems to be dead. because if it is still good, at least it shows the indicator light when it's plugged with charger.. If u have a simple tool to test battery energy maybe u can find out. or maybe try another battery..
Leave it plugged into the charger for a good while and then hold down the power button hard, for about 30 seconds. See if that forces it on.
How long did you leave it plugged in for? It may take a few hours...

Not sure if it would help your specific problem, but my thread covers every fix known-to-man for issues such as yours. Check it out if you haven't yet.

Try leaving it plugged in overnight. I once had a laptop battery die on me, had to plug it in for like a week before it would turn on again.

Your device is hibernating to prevent further damaging the battery. Plug it in... boot to bootloader... select power off using the volume keys... the tablet will now charge normally

hi
My problem is solved, I have a friend who had the same problems with the tablet Nexus 7 16GB, the back of the unit opens easily with just a fingernail to open a case as remote and actually the battery plug is not fully inserted into the camera, a little bit of nail to reconnect the cable and now my tablet displays well 100% load.

Yup - there is a sticky that covers this method, and all the other methods as well. For anyone else suffering from similar N7 issues, be sure to check it out. Either go to stickies in this Troubleshooting section, or use this link.
