Touchpad Dead - Battery symbol with Questionmark

Help!  my Touchpad 32gb will not boot! 
I've let it charge for several days.  Pressing:
 Power button = nothing
Power + hold center button = Battery symbol with questionmark
Power + up vol. = nothing
(I've tried all these combinations with it plugged in and as a stand-alone with no power cord)
I've used several chargers, including multiple touchstones, and several OEM HP round wall chargers to  no avail.
I have two touchpads (1 for me , 1 for my child) and all chargers work with the other touchpad.
Any ideas on how to bring this back to life?
When it died, it had been sitting on a touchstone, but slightly off center such that I don't think it charged properly.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

A user reported recently he was instructed to hold the power switch and then press the center button quickly about 15 times in a row.  Might give this a try.

    And yet many of us are very happy with our touchpads!  I have two of them, both dual-booting into either ICS or webOS.  I'm running programs that make iPad owners jealous.  
    Only problem I've had is a crack by the speaker... Sorry the two of you have become so jaded.

  • Battery symbol with red line thru it

    how do you fix the blackberry with a battery symbol with a red line thru it?

    Try this first:
    Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage).
    If it doesn't boot--try using a wall outlet charger if you are not. If you are connected via USB to the PC, make certain that you have Desktop Manager (or the USB device drivers) installed, which you can download below.
    Make certain your USB cable is connected to one of the PC's main rear USB ports. Not a USB hub, nor a monitor USB port, nor a USB port on the front of the PC.
    Download Desktop Manager from here:

  • 8800, battery symbol with red line through it. Won't boot. Please help!!!

    I recently bought a 8800 and when I inserted a battery, all I got was a battery symbol with a red line through it on a dim screen.  I changed batteries, tried to charge it via USB and from a wall outlet to no avail.  I tried cleaning the contacts and tried uploading t a new  OS, but it wont recognize the phone being connected when it actually is.    I am at the end of my rope with this phone and can't figure out what else to do.  Is it just gone? Please help me

  • I am unable to tell when the battery is completely charged.  I have showing the battery symbol with the bolt-this is present even when the device is not being charged.  And it is always showing 2% charge.

    Are you using the AC wall charger?
    To check status, I use System Activity Monitor app http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/system-activity-monitor/id306192663?mt=8 and System Status Lite app http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/system-status-lite-device/id407752428?mt=8

  • Battery symbol with red cross wont charge

    i had it on charge all night and have tryed 3 different chargers and 2 batterys and still nothing ?
    help ?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Given what you describe, I think you've done all of the diagnostics that you can...kudo's to you for having thought to try what you did! But, what it indicates is a hardware-level problem in the BB itself, somehow not communicating properly with the battery. For this, only a qualified service technician with the BB in their hands can diagnose any further...and that can't be done at an internet-distance.
    If your BB is still under warranty, then take it in for evaluation. Your warranty service provider is whoever you bought the BB from -- your mobile network provider or your authorized reseller would be who you go talk to next.
    If your BB is out of warranty, then you can talk to those same folks about other options.
    Good luck!

  • 8110 Wont Power On - Battery symbol with Line through it

    Hi, I have a Blackberry 8110 that I have just bought from a second hand shop. When plugged in the phone doesnt appear to charge and has a faint battery icon on the screen with a line through it. It has been charging for about 5 hours now and i have tried the reccommendation of removing the battery with plugged into USB and still doesnt work. I have also used a spare fully charged blackberry battery which also doesnt work. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I found out what the problem was. I had installed Norton Internet Utilities. When the subscription expired I tried to uninstall it using the provided uninstaller. That did not delete all of the files and this was causing the start up problems. Since I followed the following instructions (link below) and downloaded and ran the program issued by Symantec (the company who makes Norton) It solved all the problems I was having. I suggest if you had the same issue as me just after uninstalling Norton this will correct the problems!

  • What does it mean when you see the battery symbol with red and black and an "lightening" symbol below it

    Why doesn't the battery on my new iPhone 4s last very long?  I charged it yesterday late afternoon.  Did not use it at all and it was completely dead this morning.

    All icons are covered in the User's Guide... might be a good idea to browse through it.
    Also, a simple search of these forums or google will result in a plethora of information regarding battery life.  Help yourself by doing a little research.

  • Battery symbol on my TP

    No device
    Hello! I'm having a problem with my touch. There is a battery symbol with a lightning bolt and it doesn't want to charge. Also I found out where the battery is and it "pops" out but doesn't come out completely from the TP How do i slide it completely out without fear of breaking it? Thanks!

    Your issue has been asked many times on this forum. Many times the answer is a defective USB cord.
    Try using another micro-USB cable with the supplied charger.
    The battery in the touchpad was not designed to be user-replaceable. Opening the case voids any warranty you may have.

  • Changed battery, it chargers for a few secs then get battery symbol

    I have a 4th gen 20gb ipod. I changed the battery because it was dead and it started working again. I charged it over night using my computer and it had the lightening bolt charging thing when I checked it the next day. I unplugged it turned it on and it never charged the battery. It works for a few seconds then says battery low need to charge it. When I plug it in the computer it starts charging then a few seconds later I get the battery symbol with the bolt on it. What could my problem be? I don't have the wall charger or anything else to charge it with besides using the computer.

    i bought a wall charger for it and it still doesn't charge. do you think the ipod dock is messed up and if so could i replace it?
