My nexus 10 shows charging screen but wont start

Hi all,
I just brought nexus 10 two weeks ago. I was playing Vice city when the screen began to flicker and the device turned off. After that It wont start. When charger is plugged, it shows the battery charged to full, when the power button is pressed, but wont start.
I tried various methods like holding down the power button for more than 1 minute, holding down power+vol up+vol down together for 1 minute. But nothing is happening. Please help me

Thanks

Others have met with success by using a different USB cable and or power plug. I believe I may have even seen a post where the user was able to get their device to respond while connected to a PC via USB.

You are using the included power cord to charge it, yes?

I finally got it working. I kept it on charging and the device started automatically after 10 mins. Could be that the battery got drained out. However, I was expecting a warning before this happened.
Thanks

I recall reading in a thread here something about some games causing the N10 to inaccurately report power levels. Not sure it this was resolved with 4.2.2. have you updated yet?

I experienced this with NFS. Once I exited I had to reboot to get an accurate reading.
