Tablet not powering on? Brick? - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The device responds to any button presses with the image that says 0% battery. When plugged in long enough it stays on "Needs more power to turn on." It has power, it can continuously respond to button presses with that bright image for hours on end. Attempting to boot into recovery/download mode responds with the same screen no matter how long I press it. Holding the power button for any period of time while unplugged results in it showing the battery 0% and then going to blank screen a few times then staying on a blank screen while immediately responding to any other button presses with 0% battery. Holding it while plugged in results in an infinite flashing 0% battery logo that flashes on for a split second every few seconds. Help?

Something similar has happened to me.
I installed TWRP and CM11 on it a few weeks ago. It had been running fine. A couple days ago I accidentally let the battery run completely out. Now it won't charge or power on.
It doesn't appear to be charging at all, doesn't get warm like it normally would when charging. Pressing the power button does nothing now, first time I tried to power it on I saw the plug image indicating no charge, but now I get nothing at all.
I've tried holding the power button for 30 seconds (and longer). I've tried holding the power and volume down buttons together. I've left it plugged in all night. It seems to be completely dead now.

[Q] Refuses to Boot, No Lights, No Bootloader, QH_USBDLOAD

I've had the normal random crashing infrequently, but as of yesterday my Nexus seems to have bricked itself.
I placed it on the table after reading a chapter, and finished my lunch.
I picked it back up, and it was surprisingly dead, what with it's 3/4th battery and all.
I've tried plugging it in, mashing every button combo possible, one minute long press on the power button, holding every button in combination for minutes at a time, and every combo of charging/connector possible.
The only thing I've managed to get out of plugging it into a computer is QH_USBLOAD as the device identification, but, oddly enough, if I hold the power button down on the device while it's plugged in, the computer gives me a noise that would indicate that a driverless device was actually being restarted/removed/replugged, meaning it's actually doing something even if the device isn't indicating it.
Got any tips? I'm about to get a replacement, I think it's bricked itself.
Hold the power button down for 60 seconds.
If you do too many button combinations, it sometimes goes into the Qualcomm bootloader.

That was one of my first tries.
Nothing.
I've seen it on units a couple of times. Between holding the Power for 60 seconds and holding Power+VolDown for 30 seconds, eventually it comes back.
Plug in the charger and let it sit for 30min also.

I think she's dead, Jim.

Nexus 7 (2013) Power button and booting problem

Long story short, 1 month ago my Nexus 7 (2013) got water damaged, I immediately covered it in rice and left it for a couple of days, and after turning it back on, have a weird issue.
The power button will not work what so ever, I've tried holding it in for over 60 seconds, aswell as holding in the volume buttons along with the power button.
The only way to turn it on is to plug the nexus into the mains. I then get the white LED flashing 5 times, which I assume means it's charging up from a completely dead battery.
After about 20 minutes of charging, the google logo will pop up, stay on for 3-5 seconds, then the unit will reset itself (screen goes off, then back on to the google logo, and repeats like that).
However....If i hold in the volume down button, it'll boot up like normal, everything works fine, but take your finger off the volume button and it'll reset and only boot to the google logo. Holding volume up will take it too the boot loader.
The issue is that at no point, (in the bootloader or once its booted in to the OS) will the power button work whatsoever.
I first assumed that the button was broken, and stuck to the ON position, so ordered a new button cable (which includes the power button, volume up and down, aswell as the microphone) but this hasn't done anything.
Wondering if anyone had any thoughts?

Stock phone off and unresponsive

My phone suddenly would not turn on, no button combos work. I even tried combinations of button combos and pluggin/ unplugging the charger
I also took the back off and tried a battery pull, nothing has changed
the phone was charging all night and i have also tried charging it for an extra half an hour before trying button combos.
Any ideas?
UPDATE: I tried the vol down + power button combo again after letting it sit for a half an hour, and it went into the boot menu. I selected recovery. It booted into recovery, then after about 5 seconds it froze for about another 5 seconds, then it rebooted itself, and then its back to being unresponsive on a black screen...

HTC 10 hard bricks, no warning, won't boot or reset, totally dead

This is a strange one.
HTC 10 2PS6500, Android 8. Has been working fine. Today I took the phone out of the pocket, to find that it's been turned off. Strange, I know the battery was almost full, so it's not a power down due to low battery.
Tried to turn it on with the power button, didn't work.
Held the power and volume up + down at the same time, a few seconds later the phone vibrated and powered up. Battery at 92%. No sign of what might have happened. Phone was working. I wondered what happened but soon forgot about it.
A few hours later, I charged the phone back to 100%. While using it, the screen timed out, when I pressed the power button again, a message popped up saying "HTC recovered from an abnormal reset, send it to HTC" or something like that, and it tells me to tap it twice to send. I tapped it twice, the screen came up. I have the option of Send to HTC or Cancel. I pressed Cancel. The screen froze after that.
Buttons are unresponsive. I pressed the power and volume buttons to reset it, it went black.
Since then I have not been able to get it to respond.
Power button alone - nothing. Tried even holding in excess of 1 minute.
Power + Volume Down - nothing. Held for 10 seconds, 20 seconds, over 1 minute.
Powr + Volume Up + Volume Down - nothing. Held for different durations of time, no difference.
Connected it to a charger, no response, the light up top where it lits when charging does not light up.
It's completely unresponsive. No boot screen, no vibration, nothing at all.
Any idea what else I can try?
well some new development...
I was trying to do the hard reset on the phone periodically. Sometimes with the charger plugged in (but no light on top indicating it's taking any charge). A day later, I was doing another hard reset (not expecting it to respond) but it vibrates and boots up. Since then it has been behaving normally. Strange that battery was at 21%, when it was at 80% when the screen froze. I charged it to 100% then backed up the data while I had it on.
I got about a day of usage out of it, then while I was on a browser scrolling down on a web page, the screen froze again. Battery at 75%. After trying to reset it, the screen went black. Since then, no response on attempts to hard reset.
I have a feeling if I leave it alone for a day and try it it will come back alive.
Doing a search on the net yield nothing except I did see a post someone made saying after the screen froze had to wait till the battery drains 100%, then charge it back up and it will boot again. Is this what is happening? If it's bricked how is it consuming battery?
Anyone has any idea sure would like to hear it.

Help! My xperia xz2 compact won't power on, no response to charging

HI everyone,
This morning I woke up to my phone not responding to power button. Screen stayed blank. The LED was blinking white, very fast. I tried a combination of hold power button, then power button + volume up, but nothing. At some point of trying these buttons the LED went off.
Now the phone is not responding to charging cable on power, charging cable in PC USB, and power button/volume up combination. I even took the SD card slot out to try. Been on the charger for at least 30 mins now.
The last time I did was playing a mobile game on auto-mode (which I often do and leave it to run until it runs out of stamina), but it shouldn't have drained the battery befote it finished. I go to sleep when it's doing that so no idea what happened on screen before it went dead.
Um, before I start to panic, can anyone tell me what's happened?? Help please?
