I have tried all of the solutions here, apart from the one about jump-starting the battery... because my battery charges fine, yet the device doesn't power on regardless. I accidentally figured a way to power on the device with 100% success, but first some basics:
* Make sure that the device has at least 2% or 3% charge, enough to be able to boot up normally, leave it charging for 30min. if you're not sure;
* You will need to have a charger to do this "trick" (either wall charger or USB charger).
Now, follow these steps very closely:
-
# Plug the charger in and wait for the charging icon to appear on the screen;
-
# As soon as the charging icon appears,press and hold the power button until the charging icon disappears;
-
# As soon as the charging icon disappears, unplug the charger from the device, wait around 3 seconds and Google's logo should appear - at which point you can let go of the power button.
+
# Press and hold the power button and plug the charger in, but do not release the power button;
+
# The charging icon should momentarily appear on the screen, as soon as it disappears unplug the charger while still holding the power button;
+
# Wait around 3 seconds and Google's logo should appear - at which point you can let go of the power button.
