I turned off my N7 yesterday by closing the cover with the magnet stuff-off feature just as I have done many times, and this morning it won't turn on. Holding down the on button doesn't do anything. So I plug in the power cable (it had 75% charge yesterday) and now when I push the button and hold it for 3 seconds a white light above the plug flashes five times. Never seen this before. Usually when I plug it in the N7 shows up in my Win7 drive list - not today.
So, what's going on here and how to I fix it?
Google is our friend, I think. I found this explanation. As to why the battery drained to zero over night I have no idea.
"When the Nexus 7 (2013) is powered on and nothing happens it means it is completely dead. After it's been charged for a few minutes and the power is turned on, the white LED will blink 5 times. This means the Nexus 7 has power but not enough to power on. Leave it charged for a bit longer and it will have sufficient power to boot up."
