    I am not saying this will work for everyone, but my particular device, this is what I have to do every time the battery dies. So make sure your Nexus 7 never gets too low!

    Here are the steps summed up that I covered in the video.
    1)Plug into computer or USB outlet, if you have the original charger it came with, that is best. Let it charge for several hours, do not touch it! If the screen is flashing, that is okay.
    2)Try to turn it on. Try different methods. Try holding the power button down with it plugged in, try without it plugged in, try holding it down as your plugging it in. You get the idea, just try every possible way. If you are lucky like me, you will finally see a charging icon, this means the device is finally pulling in power!
    3)After you see the charging icon, let it be for a little bit, then try to turn it on. It should boot up just fine. Now, when you are not using the device, put it in airplane mode, so that battery doesn't die too fast, or just always leave it on the charger, this is a known issue with the 2012 nexus, and it is a pain! But this is the bet fix for this problem.
    Maybe you can possibly get someones "bad" device for really cheap and use this method and bring it back to life!

    This is DEFINITELY A FIX!! My sons each had a nexus 7, and this happened to both of them! I have done this on one now and it worked... on to the second! (although we already replaced one of my sons because even the "Geek Squad" at Best Buy told me it was NO GOOD. :-( (But it was doing exactly this same thing as my other sons). So I am hopeful it will work as well. Thank you sooooo much for saving me the money of having to buy another one!! YOU ROCK!!!

    I was wondering if I should be looking for a power indicator light, telling me if it was charging or something, so this video helped. It had been too long and all I remembered is that it was a pain to charge from dead and my charger is long fried. Sometimes we need something simple, and don't want to dig through thick manuals or irrelevant search results to find it. So, thanks for sharing!

    My 2012 model ME37OT has died, I tried hammering down the microUSB 2.0 unit inside the tablet, because it had a loose zip, and when I plugged in the microUSB, the tablet wouldn't charge. PLEASE REPLY!

  • @rchandraonline
    @rchandraonline 8 років тому +1

    Obviously the one animation means it's charging, but I THINK when you saw just the battery icon outline, the firmware is telling you the battery is so flat that it cannot support booting. As you saw, after the remove-power-reconnect-within-10-seconds trick, if you let it charge for a few hours, you should be good to go. The only thing which might prevent that is if the battery is end-of-life, and won't hold a charge no matter WHAT is done to it.
    The visuals are fairly good, but I wish each of those conditions were clearly documented somewhere prominent so we wouldn't have to guess.

My nexus 7 had been off for nearly a year and I had just replaced the usb charging port myself.

    Had my Nexus 7 2012 for 3 years and replaced the board and battery recently (the old board was an 8GB model and the one I have is 32GB, used, and the new battery is the same spec as the old one). Then, when I was watching my shows on my tablet, the battery died and I forgot to bring my charger. Went to CVS on my break and bought a Micro USB cable, 2.1A charger, and a 3-prong extension cord.

    If your original nexus 7 (2012) is slow clear update cache and run lagfix trimmer but if it does not work then download nexus root toolkit and example USB debuuging on device and also click USB charging to USB file transfer if ur turned off or in bootloop then no need for USB debugging or changing from charging to file transfer also I recommend downloading custom aosp ROM i would say omni ROM or slimkat but no android 5 ROMs nexus root toolkit unlocks boot loader and backups data eg NANDroid backup if your choosing custom ROM I would go to XDA for this or if normal stock ROM search stockromfiles nexus 7 WiFi (not 2013) just nexus 7 WiFi and try 4.2 or 4.3 or 4.4 if ur using Stock ROM click flash stock unroot and u can browse your own file (for some reason the built in downloaded er doesn't work) if ur choosing custom ROM GOTO advanced settings or something then click flash custom ROM or something and find your own ROM where you saved it eg download
    Also don't download nexus root toolkit (NRT) from sketchy sites try real ones like softpedia or wugfresh site

    READ THIS : For anyone who ever has this problem, just hold down the power button (sometimes more than 2 minutes, sometimes much less) until the screen comes on. That's it.

    What I do when this happens is put the tablet on the charger & press and hold the power on button at the same time that I press and hold the volume down button. Do this until the recovery screen comes up (Android lying on its back.) Then use the volume down button to scroll thru the choices until you get to power off. Then once it turns off, unplug it from the charger then plug it back in. That's how I get my drained tablets to charge. www.droid-life.com/2012/12/27/fix-nexus-7-refusing-to-charge-try-this-trick/ I keep on saying like this guy in the video that I will never let this happen ever again ever!... but then it does, lol. It has happened to me a few times.
