Hello,
Today my sister charged her Asus Zenfone 5 and rebooted it, it simply didn't turn on. I tried turning it on, pressing the power button for 30sec, pressing it with volume up or down or both.
The device isn't charging and doesn't respond to charging or respond to anything in particular.
But when connecting it to my computer it updated the device manager as an "unknown device"
What should I do? Contact Asus support center? Anything else? If you have any idea please suggest it here, I'll try..
NO MODIFICATIONS WERE DONE TO THE DEVICE IT IS STOCK UNMODIFIED! (so it's not a faulty flash. Mod or anything)

It seems my Nexus 7 seems to be hosed.
It was running the latest android os as pushed out by google (maybe 4.2.1?) Not sure what I did, but I am in the APX mode and I cannot exit it. The screen is completely dark, and I am not sure it is working when I press the buttons.
I have held:
Power button for 60+ seconds
Power + volume up
Power + volume down
Power + volume up + volume down
If the device is plugged into my laptop, I get a beep after holding any aforementioned combination indicating that the system detects the device but it shows up in the device manager as APX with a question mark.
I have opened the back, and disconnected and reconnected the battery.
Prior to noticing it was not working, I set a torrent download using µtorrent. My initial guess was that the battery discharged, but I have been charging it now for a few hours without any resolution.
Please help! I am past the returns for Walmart, and I do not want to ship it to ASUS to have it repaired.
Bump.
This is frustrating. I have never owned an android tablet before, and I had no intentions of rooting it. Now I have no idea if I can even recover it. Other threads are saying I am hosed because nvflash does not work on the nexus 7.
Any ideas besides throwing it in the garbage?
Try letting the battery die.
Or try these tips: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789135
I've had my nexus 7 for about 3 weeks now. Was working great until last night. I haven't altered it such as rooting or custom ROM since I bought it. Besides some apps I have installed via the play store, it can be considered very very factory stock.
Battery was low and it started the automatic shut down because the battery level hit the critical point. It shut down and then I plugged it back in and turned it back on. It was halfway through the boot up (showing the multi-colored X) and the screen went blank and I heard what could be a farting sound, then nothing.
I've tried holding down the power button for more than 30 seconds (timing it on my watch) and I've tried the power button and both volume up/down buttons in the same manner. Nothing.
I let it charge overnight on the factory charger with factory cable. No change.
I opened the back up and disconnected the battery for a few minutes then reconnected. No change.
I plugged it into my computer and it detects and I was able to install the drivers for "Asus Transformer Prime APX Interface". If I hold the power button for 10 seconds while it is connected to my PC the PC detects that the device is disconnected and then reconnected about 5 seconds later. So the device does something.
I tried using the android-sdk to communicate with the device but nothing. ADB doesn't detect the device, fastboot doesn't either.
At this point, I'm thinking the device is as hard bricked as can be but hopefully someone here can tell me otherwise. If I don't get a response within a week, I will be attempting to get a replacement - my wife bought it brand new for me from a private seller on eBay, so I don't have an actual store to return it to.
My LG G2 (rooted with AOKP ROM a month ago) just got bricked about an hour ago. It was completely random too, I had it playing music via bluetooth in my pocket and all of a sudden the music stopped and when I took my phone out of my pocket, it was unresponsive to any button pushing. I plugged it in to my computer to see if I could debug it on there since the screen was completely black no matter what I did (long-pressed the power button and tried hard reset but still black screen). So when I plugged it into my computer, windows said "USB device not recognized" so I can't even do anything with it. I have no idea what to do and am in need of some help . I tried to include all the relevant information and if I missed anything, just ask. Thank you in advance for any advice you guys can give me.
Plug it into a charger and try different button combos, holding them for up to 30 seconds
power+up.. etc
Can you go into download mode ? (while powered off. press volume up and insert usb cable)
My Xiaomi Redmi 2 is not booting. It got switch off on its own this morning, after it I tried to switch it on but it was only vibrating, and had instantly become very very hot near camera. So I removed the battery, after few hours I thought to enter recovery or fastboot, but it was not even vibrating. In short my problem is I can't power on the phone, enter recovery or fastboot. When I connect it to a PC via USB cable, it does not connect and as soon as I put its battery inside it, within seconds area near the camera becomes very very hot.What should I do?? Please help....Model name - 2014818
try charging..maybe your battery drained...
and you can try after that to hold press on power and vol down for long time so that you could enter fastboot...if it is not working ...
give this ****ty device to service centre..
I had the same problem. I went to service center and they told me that the phone's motherboard has to be replaced as it got damaged due to overheating.
hey guys, i'd love your help.
my zenfone (ze520kl) suddenly died. now it gives no signal.
it had around 70% battery, and i was using it normaly a few minutes before.
when charging, no LED shows up, and when connected to my computer, windows makes the sound of a new device, but nothing changes
it was with full stock nothing custom, no rom, no root, no changes at all. not even new apps.
even power + vol up/down doesn't make anything.
i tried Asus Zenfone Flash Tool, but it doesnt even detects it...
unfortunately i cant remove the battery to restart...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Keep power button pressed for 15-20 sec and see what happens.
