Re: HELP!!!!
Peculiar. Suddenly, in the last 10 days there's two active threads about tablets refusing to turn on. Dare I say it, it sounds like there's some sort of date-aware hiccup in the OS (or a recent Google update to an embedded app) causing some grief?
For my part, my 2012 N7 (running KitKat) chose not to start up yesterday morning. Charged overnight (like I often do) using the factory plug and cable and I always make a point to ensure there's no...uh, crap in the charging point on the N7 before plugging in, so really, there couldn't be anything wrong in the charging process.
After several tries to get it to start - including plugging it into my computer to see if the Android File Transfer would help (it started but could not access the N7) - I went online and found the 'hold volume down button while also holding power button for 10 seconds' suggestion at Google.
Well, 10 seconds didn't work - but a full half minute did and I was able to get it to Start. There's been a couple of restarts and an overnight charge since with no issue. Like I said, peculiar.
Now, if anything, I did note the N7 felt awfully warm yesterday (not so today), but I don't know if that's a cause or a result of this issue.
Thoughts?
