[Q] Archos 101 G9 bricked? - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
I have used this tablet without bigger problems for months. a few days ago I've turned it on and after a few minutes using it the device froze completely. then the screen turned black after a few seconds, power led off. I've tried to reset it by pressing power button long and nothing happens, display black, led off.
Everytime I plug it in, the power led turns on, but nothing else happens.
Today I've opened the device and found out the batteries are at 2.8V. I've then charged them with my Lipo charger (had to desolder it, charge and then resolder). Still nothing works. And if there's no battery connected the exact same happens like with the batteries in place: nothing exept green led turns on.
So, why did this happen and how can it be fixed?
Thanks

same thing happened
hi,
exactly the same thing happened to me. Did you manage to solve the problem?
I also tried to empty the batteries and then to re-start, no success. The LED will light for a couple of minutes then turns off, but nothing else happens afterwards, the screen remains black all the time.
Resetting the device also doesn't work, the screen won't turn on, not even in the recovery mode.
I would appreciate any help on this issue.

still dead
Nope, unfortunately I could never fix it so it's just laying around collecting dust as a expensive paperweight...

Atrix Wont Turn On

So I'm having a really strange problem, and it seems like the phone is completely dead. This may be unrelated, but about 5 or so days ago, my camera stopped working, and in the week before the failure, it would make a clicking noise whenever I used it. Last night however, I woke up to my phone rebooting itself over and over. I didn't know what the problem was, and didn't want to deal with it, so I pulled the battery out (not while it was booting). This morning, when I woke up I could not get the phone to turn back on. I tried two different batteries, tried each alone, and each plugged in to AC as well. No response from the power button at all, nothing on the screen, no green LED flash, nothing. Heres the odd part: If I take the battery out, and plug it in to my PC, the green LED turns on, yet, the power button still does nothing.

[Q] Phone got stock, finally work but..

Hello everyone,
I got a question. Yesterday, my phone shutdown do to no more battery. Once I got home (about 1h30 after), I plug-it into my computer for a good slow charge. I noticed the led was blinking red instead of staying on, but I though it was due to critical low battery. After 3 hours, still the same. I try to open it but nothing happened. Then, I noticed that when I touch the screen or button, the phone vibrate.
I then unplug and try again, same thing. I try plug into the wall charger, samething.
Then I proceed to hold the power button for 5 seconds. All three touch button start flashing and stayed on, but no joy, still vibrate when touching anything with screen turn off (not just no backlight, no image at all).
I manage to found out that holding the button nearly 10 seconds, it force a reboot and then was OK and charged at 70%.
I'm wondering what's the deal here. Is it a problem with the stock rooted rom?
Thanks

[Q] Dropped Evo 3d.. Won't turn on

Yesterday, my phone fell (not very hard, onto a carpeted floor). I picked it up and put it in my pocket without looking.. When I went to check my phone, it was off. I tried to turn it on, but it would only go to the HTC screen, then the screen would go black but the home icons would be lit up. I took the battery out and let it sit for a couple of hours. Tried to put it back in and the phone wouldn't turn on at all. I put it on the charger, it turned red for about 5 seconds, turned off, then repeats. If I try to turn the phone on, the LED light blinks a very dim red for 2 seconds then stops. I can't even hold the volume button and the power button, it just blinks the dim red. As far as I know, it is not rooted. I got it second hand about a year ago after my phone got stolen. I have never had any problems with it other than the camera.. It just stopped working eventually. Help?
Anytime you drop the phone, even if it wasn't a hard hit, it can damage something on the main board, which could be your problem. However, since you say the led is very dim red, that is a sign that the battery itself is damaged and won't charge. I would try to get a cheap battery off ebay to see if that's the problem.
You probably damaged some micro vital componants on your motherboard which is preventing your device to function in a normal way.
must be motherboard, or some other chip

[Q] Can't start or charge my S3 i9300

Hey, i am new to xda, so i don't really know if this is the right category for this thread.
I am running Slimbean: Slim-i9300-4.3.build.2-OFFICIAL-1322 (the newest stable version)
And i have dropped my phone several times, so my screen is broken and gone over the back button (it still works).
Anyways, i dropped today AGAIN out of my pocket, in a car, when i was about to shut the door, so the phone was smashed by the door. The screen didn't crack more then it already is, but it shut down, and now i cannot start it. I figured it was becouse it ran out of battery (i only had like 2-1% when this happened), so i plugged in my charger, and nothing happens.
Usually when i plug it in when the phone is dead, i get this grey battery icon on the screen wich freezes, but it works.
Now nothing happens, and when i try to start it, nothing happens except the little red motion sensor thing is blinking red once in like 5 secs.
Do i need to buy a new battery? Please help!
P.S. I know i'm not very good at english, but please help!

EDIT: When i plugged my charger in and let it charge for like 15 mins, the LED starts showing yellow (wich means it's 15%+ but not done charging).
And nothing happens when i tried to wake it up. But when i held the power button for like 3-4 secs, the yellow light disappears. It does not vibrate or anything that it use too.

Help- Nabi 2 Won't Boot

My brother has a Nabi 2, and it was running fine for a while, but now everything's gone weird. It woun't boot up, and the screen only stays black, with nothing else on it. So first, we found that the Nabi was indicating that we needed a new charger, so he bought one. But it's been charging for a really long time, and there is still a black screen when you try to turn it on. I had rooted it, and I haven't messed with anything since. It has been stable for a couple months before this happened. If you go to turn it on while it's plugged in, the charging LED will change to green for a second, then switch back to red. The weird part is, this only happens if you hold down the power for 10 seconds or so, as if you are turning it off. I realize this isn't a common tablet, but I'm hoping there's something that anyone knows that will help my little brother.
