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?

well, if you can't power you M8 with any buttons combination i think you might have to send it to repair service...
Do you see the charging light at all?
Try plugging the phone into the pc via usb. Press and hold volume up and power until you hear a ding on the pc, might take a while.

I had the same problem after I did a dirty flash of a new ROM. Phone went black and didn't want to reboot anymore. What I did was to connect the phone via USB with the PC first. Then I tried combination of holding the power button for 20 sec. After that holding the Volume up key first then pressing together with the Power button and also hold it for 10-15 sec. After cycling that for 2-3 times finally my phone rebooted. I have no clue why but after that I was able to jump back into recovery and reflashed the ROM with full-wipe. Then everything was ok.
unplug phone, vol up and power for 11 seconds, let go of both, vol down and power to enter boot loader, then choose reboot. Must be unplugged for this

Do you use TWRP recovery?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes. Version 2.7.1.0.
My phone went black and wouldn't do anything after I clean flashed a rom. I just left it alone once I established it wouldn't do anything and it came back on its own after a while. I was using twrp 2.7.1.0 also. I have switched to Phil's touch recovery to see if it happens next time I flash a rom.

I have no idea what happened to mine, but it suddenly shut down while I was texting. Did exactly what you did with the 20 seconds and 15 second power/vol up, and it suddenly rebooted. Thank you so much!
holy **** i had this problem and i just did this and it worked.hahahahahaha
Hi,
M8 has been working perfectly up until this morning. Last night, I was listening to some music using Shuttle+ and then unplugged my headphones, closed all my apps, and then went to sleep. Then I woke up this morning and tried to unlock my phone using the power button but it won't turn on. Not even motion gestures vibrates or unlocks it.
I thought to myself maybe I accidentally ran an app that drained all my battery before I locked it. I plugged it in the original wall charger that came with the box and the red LED won't even glow or the battery boot animation is not shown.
I tried the following;
-hold the power button for 20 seconds
-hold the power + volume up for 30 seconds
-hold the power+ volume down for 30 seconds
-hold the power+ volume up + down for 30 seconds
I have the VZW Model and I'm NOT rooted.
Thanks
Have you tried another charger and cord?

and remember when you'd plug in to charger, you should wait around 10 minute then charger icon appeared (so sorry for bad english.I hope you've got what I talking about)
So basically as the title says: Z5 Premium was working, I unplugged it from charging to 100%, put it down for 15 minutes and when I picked it up black screen and no response to anything I know.
I tried turning it on obviously, holding power + volume up for 30 seconds, plugging it into USB on PC.
The only wierd thing other than this happening was 2 days ago it went black and non-responsive and I thought it was toast but then holding power + volume up worked even though it didn't seem to at first.
Software is rooted stock with TWR which I can't boot into.
Is there anything else I can do at this point or should I give away/sell for parts?
Cheers!
It's been two days since the device stopped working.
I was using Facebook then froze and turned off since then it's not working
No sign of charging, led lights.
Tried hold down Volume up + power ( more than one minute)
Volume down + power
Both volume up&down + power .
Kept it to charge overnight still theres no sign.
Is there any other way to wake it up.
Note.
My HTC 10 received July security update 4 days before that occured
I haven't dropped or damaged it with water.
Are the bottom navigation buttons flashing while You hold volume up + power or volume down + power?
