Hi all...yesterday my Nexus 7 started to suddenly slow down. I was reading a PDF file in MoonReader and it suddenly exited the app. At that point apps would become unresponsive, updates would fail, and everything just became painstakingly slow. After rebooting a couple times I decided to shut it off for the night. Since there was 75% battery left, I didn't plug it in.

This morning when I turned it on, it was behaving the same way. I shut it down again, but now I cannot get it powered up. I tried a few other suggestions from other posts such as: holding the power for 30 seconds or more, plugging in and holding power with volume down, I removed the back to ensure battery connection is seated properly...but none of these worked. When I plug it into my laptop, I now get the "unrecognised device" error message.

I love this device and use it constantly for taking notes, reading, etc. and would hate to think that it dead after less than a year of owning it. If anyone has an ideas or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!!
 
Well, if the battery is not worn out (can no longer accept a charge) perhaps its just very drained. How long have you left it on the charger before trying to power it up?
 
Thank you for responding!
It's been on the charger now for 3-4 hours...it was at 75% when I powered down last night, and was close to the same this morning when I was able to power it up.
 
Well, I've been troubleshooting with Google as well as ASUS and have had no luck fixing it. I'm just waiting to find out my warranty information, which is most likely outdated because it was a year ago yesterday that I ordered it. I said screw it and ordered the 2013 model! I've become too dependent on it for my daily life to go too long without. If it's covered, I'll send it in for repairs and hand it down to my 9-year old!
 
Looks like I was too impatient ordering a new one...Google is going to send me a replacement for my 2012! Christmas gift for my daughter? lol
