Nook will not start at all.

[Kage87Z]

I installed CWM 75 off the dailies, but couldn't get the market to work (it froze up) so I restored a prior version... which came up exactly the same (when I installed 75, it showed the version as 05052011 which I thought was kind of weird... and 75 was the only zip I had on the sd card, so I couldn't have screwed it up all that badly.)

So, after re-installing 75 and getting the same result, I restored to a version I had from May 5... except is again froze market, so I restored to Phire mod.

When I checked my nook, the screen was black and nothing I do can get it to come back up.

I've tried with the sd card in... and out. I've tried with the nook plugged into my puter with the nook cable (The computer makes the "read" tone, and a moment latter, the "unplug" tone) out of the computer.

I've tried holding the power button for a minute, the power button and the U... and nothing. No backlight flash or anything.

I've got a green U on the cable indicating a fully charged battery.

Ideas?

Have you tried booting into Clockwork Mod Rrecovery and formatting system, data, and cache and then reinstalling the zip of your choice? Assuming, of course that you can boot into Clockwork Mod.

Nah... couldn't even get that far.

So, I managed to get in by doing the reset gig. Now I'm back to stock, but I'll be rooted again in no time!

@Kage87Z I have the same problem. I cant get the nook to respond to any kind of power on. I connect to my computer via usb and the computer seems to recognize a device and then gives the disconnect sound. So I believe that the nook is powering on but shows nothing on the screen. How did you get it to reset? I have tried holding the power button and the power button and the n etc. did you just continue to try these until it reset itself to stock or ???????

Any suggestions???

If you're re-using a SD card that you up bootloader on, but then later deleted.. it will do this. Make sure you reformat the SD and not just delete the items on it. I did this early on and it freaked me out. Make sure to wipe the sd card completely, full format.
