So, i dropped it in the toilet, and afterwards its been acting.... weird.
When i hold the button down the power button, well, takes a screenshot. I cant turn it off unless its and it doesn't ask me to turn it off, or restart, or whatever it used to say.
when i lightly activate the power button, nothing happens.
the volume down also takes a screenshot, separately. so say i can hold the volume down, it takes one, and then i hold down the power without holding the down, it takes another.
ALSO, when the tablet is plugged into anything, it turns on. I cannot turn it off with adb restart -p, as it just turns off then turns back on from the usb.
Yes it is useable, but its very annoying as fast boot requires a powered down kindle.
Im probably missing something, so feel free to ask questions

Hello there, I was installing Recovery using this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682, I only went up to the first part of unrooting the phone where it asks me to connect my and install te recovery, my phone after the root did not want to turn on. I tried using the Volume +/- along with the home key, nothing, it just vibrates and nothing. I tried pulling out the battery and the same thing happened, no matter what I did, it vibrates and won't turn on. Also when I hook it up to the charger and try turning on it vibrates and it keeps vibrating in loops, around 2-3 sec apart. What is wrong with my phone? Please don't tell me it's a brick, I just got it yesterday ;p

I think this kit is honestly the easiest way to brick your phone. There are simply too many options, most of them have no real use for this phone, and the free version never gets updated. Honestly think it's a bad move for people who are new to the game.
To get in download mode:
Start with the phone off.
Press and hold the home button and volume down button.
Press the power button until the phone vibrates.
Release the power button.
To get in recovery mode.
Start with the phone off.
Press and hold the home button and volume up button.
Press the power button until the phone vibrates.
Release the power button.
Release the volume up and home button when the blue text appears in the top left corner of the screen.
If these won't work, you are bricked. Time for JTAG.
I agree 100%. That kit seemed pretty helpful for some when this was still pretty new, but recently it seems there are more reports of failures (or worse) than successes. When you get this fixed I suggest reading all the stickies and then take it from there.
Good luck

Used the search and Google but couldn't find anything comparable.
Somehow my Nexus 7 2013 (WiFi)'s touchscreen just died during traveling to work and I am not able to restart the device.
Is there any button combination to do this or any other way possible? I can turn on the device and the power on/off and volume buttons are working, but I cannot select e.g. shut down as the touchscreen is not responsive.
The device is not rooted or anything, just plain stock, newest firmware version.
any help appreciated!
Press and hold the power button for 30-60 seconds.
Eventually it'll first shut down, then as you keep pressing the power, it will turn back on.

Hi all
wondering if someone might be able to give me hand
my phone is rooted and am running CM10 stable and was working fine for about 3 months.

I keeps viberating every coupel fo seconds. Tried to hold down power button but nothing happens. yanked battery and and reboot and i see the samsung slapscreen then it goes back to viberating
I tried to yank the battery, while holding down the power volume up/down to get into recovery but no luck. tried to yank battery and hold down volumne up/ down trying to get into download mode but also no luck
wondering if there might something i can try to get my phone back working
take care
i tried to take the phone apart to see if the power button was stuck but still now luck
Sounds like a power button issue. Its not that it gets stuck physically, the power switch gets messed up and acts as if its being held down. You can replace the switch or try a ghetto fix. I had to remove the power button from the case from my brothers phone. I took it out then plugged the hole with it by taping it on from the outside.
There are a few ROMs out there that allow you to use alternate buttons to turn off the phone and use volume keys to wake it up. So you will only need the power button to turn on the phone when its off completely. For my brothers phone I use a toothpick since I removed the power button.
It is just beginning to mess up on my phone bit it wasn't a severe enough case for me to remove the power button.
I would recommend trying to fidget with the button a bit, trying to see if you can get it out of the power loop (endless vibrating). What I do is pull the battery and press the button a few times. I even flick that corner of the phone a few times. Then I put the batter back in and see if it stopped cycling. If not I try to press the button a few more times and or give it a flick or two with the battery in. There seems to be no direct method that works but it eventually stabalizes.
If it does stabalize, I'd recommend testing to see how sensitive it is. If you can't put it in your pocket or even the slightest movement makes it cycle. I'd say you need to remove the power button or have the power switch replaced. If it stabilizes I would just get a ROM with the options I mentioned and stop touching the power button.
Hi, is there any way to force a shut down, I have the google Pixel XL went to restart it as it couldnt find any wifi and now it stuck on powering off, tried holding power button, power button and volume etc, then it pops up power off or restart but the screen is unresponsive, hit power button again and comes pack up as Power off , Shutting down, being like that for 1 hour so far, i expect i will have to wait till it runs out of Battery??? Removal batteries are so much easier.......

Hi,
My Pixel 6 Pro screen went black, but I can still hear and feel that the phone is working. I used the volume up + power button to reboot it and now I touch the phone and I feel it vibrate as it's registering the touches. I also see at the bottom of the screen some white stripes flashing. It seems that the screen is damaged and I need a replacement screen.
Now my issue is that I can't seem to turn it off. As the screen is black, the only way to shut it down would be with hardware keys. But up until now, I haven't been able to figure out a way to turn the phone off.
Does anyone know how I can turn of the phone?
To replace the screen, obviously I need to turn it off first...
Usually long pressing the power button, but it may be different. As long as it gets fixed within a month or so it you can let it discharge until it auto shuts down. If more than a year old replacing the battery when repaired is a good idea anyway...
I tried long pressing the power button with no luck.
I tried volume down + power button for 20 seconds, didn't work either.
I tried volume up + power button for 20 seconds, this I think reboots the phone.

Power button only might take 20 or so seconds.
Otherwise just like it sit until repaired.
Power button + vol up + vol down. Keep holding down once you feel the phone vibrate. Takes you to the bootloader screen
The battery died.. so that's good!
Thanks anyways
