Tablet won't turn on - HELP - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I can't get my tablet (G Pad 8.3) to turn on. It has TWRP recovery on it but there doesn't seem to be any life in the tablet to get into recovery.
I flashed fishears custom kernel and the tablet was working fine, I rebooted it and it started to loop and then just seemed to die on me.
I think I've tried download mode (both volume buttons) but can't get into that either.
I've tried the hold power button for 20 seconds then plug a charger in trick but nothing there either.
Before this happened the tablet had 50% battery so it wasn't really all that low.
Any ideas?
Thanks

hardbrick man, try fix http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/help/how-recovered-lg-g-pad-detected-t3207079

Hmm, I'm guessing my tablet has a hardware problem as it is not showing up at all in device manager.
I've got some tools coming tomorrow so I can open the tablet up, hoping a simple battery unplug might revive it! Hmm, I'm guessing my tablet has a hardware problem as it is not showing up at all in device manager.

Charge device all day, you try fix link up

I do not seem to be having any luck with this tablet. I re-installed the stock rom and now I am in an endless boot loop. The LG logo comes up and then the screen goes off then it comes back on again with the logo then off again. No amount of button pressing or sequences will load recovery.
I can't get the bloody thing in the download mode either. I'm holing both volume buttons then plugging in but it does nothing. I've tried volume up and power and nothing. Any ideas how can I sort this, as there is life in it it just won't respond to anything?
Thanks

[Q] "Soft" Bricked Desire.

Okay so here's what happened. I unlocked my device just fine, and attempted to install a ROM, didn't work, So i decide I'm going to try to install cyanogenmod. I go this (wikiDOTcyanogenmodDOTORG/w/Install_CM_for_a5 )wiki tutorial [/URL] and I attempt to flash clockworkmod recovery via this link (builderDOTunstableappsDOTCOM/#/latest/clockworkmodrecovery/a5) When i flash, it installs. But then upon booting I get the app for developement only screen, and it's stuck showing my battery charge screen, with the orange charge light. Anyways I can't boot using the power down volume combo. I'm currently waiting on the battery to die so I can reflash the stock recovery, because fastboot won't recognize the device when I plug it in, even though my computer makes the device connected tone. So should I just wait until the battery dies? Or is there something else I can do?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks
Solved
I actually solved my problem. I waited for the phone to die, powered it on normally. Then to reset the device and held the power and up button as soon as the screen went black hit down on the volume and got into my bootloader.

I think your issue is similar to mine.
My phone got frozen while I was reading facebook news. Battery was about 60%. I turned it off, but it doesn't turn on again. It just quickly splashes the "ASUS In search of Incredible/ Powered by Android" and then goes off again.
I tried to get to Recovery Mode by holding volume UP and power buttons, but it didn't even get to the point the device vibrates. I tried the same with volume DOWN as well. No good.
The charging battery icon shows battery is being charged ok.
Is it dead for good? @Asus_USA @ASUS_Khang
Thanks

I don't think it's dead because it's charging okay. To get into Recovery Mode even I have some trouble sometimes. It IS Vol Up+Power, and you need to hold both as you power up the device. It should get into your recovery where you just need to let go of the Power button.

You are right.
My phone has ressurected today. It still doesn't boot to recovry with the VolUP+Pwr button combination, but it does get to the application again.
I'll I did was to let the battery drain, charged again and then tried random seconds holding the power button.
Thanks
PLEASE STOP posting in CAPSLOCK it is very ANNOYING

[Q] Please help! I hard bricked my G Pad 7 v430.

So I was an idiot and didn't check the version number of my G Pad before trying to install a custom recovery a while ago. My tablet tried to to a software update and ended up shutting off and never turning back on. When I plug it into a charger, I get the battery icon that tells me that my battery is fully charged, but aside from that I can't turn it on at all. I've tried holding the power button down for thirty seconds and holding the volume down rocker and power button together for thirty seconds. Nothing is working. I really need to get this tablet working. My backup tablets (a Kindle Fire 1st Gen and an HP Touchpad) are both showing their age pretty badly.
Does anyone have the KDZ file for the v430? I also can't seem to find the drivers or the LG Flash Tool anywhere, so working links to those would be appreciated. Barring that, is there a way to boot into fastboot and install the stock recovery?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Note II GT-N7100 Not Turning On at all

Hello Everyone!
First of all, let me say that i'm desperately in need of help with my phone. Here's what happened to it so everyone knows.
My Phone was bought in UAE and was given to me, i live in the Philippines and it was working fine, i can use it on everyday tasks Until, a few days ago my phone performed updates (auto updates) which made it froze, i tried to press and hold the power button but it doesn't turn off. I removed the battery and restarted my phone then all i get is the Boot screen. I went to recovery mode to perform a wipe/factory reset. it returned with a lot of errors about files missing, etc etc...
At that point i thought that my phone might have been updating the OS when it froze so i DLed a stock firmware because i can still go to download mode.
After a day (crappy internet + limited download speed from sammobile) i finished the firmware download then tried going to download mode on my phone but now, my phone doesnt turn on at all. when i press and hold power+down vol+home nothing happens. i tried going back to recovery mode and still nothing happens. Even if i just press the power key nothing happens at all. I tried charging the phone but its not charging as well, The Battery Icon is not showing on the screen anymore but after minutes f charging i can feel my phone getting warmer.
Anyone experienced this issue before or knows how to fix it? i do not believe that the battery died because it was working just a day before.
Any help and TIPS would greatly help.
again: I cannot go to download/recovery mode nor go to the boot screen.
Hello there,
Try to connect your phone to PC and press power button / vol / home button simultaneously, if PC still recognize your phone, then you still got chance to recover it using Octoplus software?

infinite boot loop

Hey,
Yesterday I ran out of battery, when I got home I charged it.
After 15-20 mins or so, I tried turning it on, since then the phone is on an infinite loop.
It's displaying the lg logo, buttons are flashing and the home button changes colors.
If i unplug it from the charger it wont turn on at all.
It has cyanogen mode, not sure which version.
I've tried almost everything:
Removed the battery a million times, tried every button combination possible to enter recovery mode, connected it to my PC.
I have managed to get to the hard reset screen, pressed the power button twice to confirm, but still nothing happens and the infinite loop returns.
Any suggestions?
Thanks and sorry for my english.

Does it show charging screen or is just stuck on LG boot splash? Let it charge for a while, and then try booting without cable.

Nothing appearing over LG logo? Try booting with Power+Vol UP and release them and press Vol Down as soon as keys flash, I've managed to boot mine with broken battery that way.
Also, last resort - if you're sure your battery is 100% functioning, try entering download mode and reflashing.
