[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GansitoLoco:
A long time to charge is right! Reading this thread did not give me much confidence mine would recover. We have abused it, using non-HP charges with fewer amps than the HP barrel charger. Like others have said, my original HP USB cable went bad. Ordered a new USB cable, but had been charging the touchpad with a cellphone charge, at home and with the car version from lighter socket.

Finally after 2 1/2 days I was able to boot it up. Reported 51% charged, but even plugged into power it drains. :(

I have put the cyanogen mod on it, but I really doubt this has much to do software. I think this is a hardware problem that they could let a device with a non-replaceable battery get into this state.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teezle:
got the touchpad to boot up....

Well, after a couple of weeks I played with it again. I plugged it in directly to the wall charger and the touchstone together at the same time. I ended up hearing a faint click coming from the device.....very faint...

Ended up leaving it on the touchstone and unplugging and plugging in the other wall charger. The home button after about a minute of doing this started to flash left to right. Never seen this before. I then left both chargers plugged in for about and hour then the low battery symbol appeared! Left it on both chargers for about 8 hours and it booted back into webos (my default).

Going to test cm9....may end up removing it. Webos seems to have everything i need.

Hope ths helps someone....

good morning everybody.

i posted last 2 days ago my tp was not working and was completely dead. i will tell you what i did to revive it and i do no gurantee it to work but share my experience only.

touchpad completely dead... :(

1) leave in charger for 1 to 2 days straight without removing charger

2) press power and press home key (front face screen key) unlimited times)

3) after that i take out charger and plug it back in

and it worked. i also twitched with the charger itself back and forth twisting and turning it then i plugged it in.

hope this helps

My Touchpad died yesterday and it wouldn't charge. When plugged in it would just show the charging image and wouldn't boot up no matter what. I left it plugged in and eventually it booted up. The screen showed it was charging but at zero percent no matter how long I left it. I went into Settings, Storage, Menu, USB Computer connection and I noticed MTP was unchecked. I checked it and noticed within minutes it started charging.

I have tried everything on this thread and nothing worked, device just recognized by the computer as QHUSB_LOAD. I contacted HP via chat. Our devices are still under warranty so even if you bought it from ebay/craigslist you should be able to send it for repair.

they didnt ask more than the serial number.

I suggest you just send your table in for repairs....

( crosses fingers hoping they dont send me a ****ty broken one back)

=========================================

8:11 PM	Addison:

“Because your tablet is in warranty, the repair option is Repair and Return with Box option at no charge. We’ll send you an empty box with a prepaid label in which to return your tablet to our repair facility.

Thank you. I will try it.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leepriestenator:
That worked for me! Of course I'm still in phase one with the home button light flashing from side to side. Will let it continue to charge till I can see the screen turn on.

Mine has been dead for 2 whole days now. Continually charging it didn't help. Read every post on the internet, tried every combination and nothing worked including connecting it to the computer.

Thanks mate. For anyone else reading this. Do it in the exact same order. Place the TP on a powered touchstone and after a few seconds (under 10), turn on the wall charger.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
My wife's touchpad got into this state after running right down. No sign of charging on either Touchstone or cable connected. Chargers remained cool. Screen was totally black, no battery icons at all.

I tried all the button combo press methods. No joy.

I was going to try the Touchstone + USB charger method but before that tried the cable charger method where I plugged in the micro USB cable and repeatedly removed and re-inserted the USB end from the power brick. After about 15 goes then the red battery icon appeared and it started charging. A few minutes later it booted into CM9 with 1% battery and has now recharged successfully.

I believe the theory here is that each time the power goes on the charging circuit manages to get some juice into the battery before then deciding the battery is too low to continue charging. Enough of these then give the battery enough charge to persuade the charging circuit that it is OK to continue.

I'm not saying it works for all possible states, but it allowed me to breath a sigh of relief.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benthe1:
I'm so glad I read this before ever having this problem. I will never let my TouchPad run out of battery...ever!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
Having realised the danger, I have now set up tasks to trigger a shutdown if battery level falls below 10% on both of out Touchpads. I used Tasker on mine as I had that already. Automateit offers the same type of functionality. Hopefully at some stage this will get integrated into CM9 operation.

How I fixed my battery drained touchpad

How I fixed my battery drained touchpad

My HP Touch-pad went dead after a charging glitch It went completely dead and not responsive with any chargers

##### My Setup #####

HP Tochpad with Android 4.0.3 - Ice Cream Sandwich ClassicNerd Butta v4.0.2

##### Fixes that didn't work for me #####

Tried charging with touchstone charger 12hr charge (Nothing still dead black screen no lights at all.)

Charging with Stock USB Cable with Stock Power Adapter 12-16hrs (Nothing still dead black screen no lights at all.)

Tried Both Charging Methods and device was still unresponsive

[Tried the charging methods above in conjunction with Holdings many different buttons combinations below]

Power + Home button (Holding 20sec - 1min)

Power + Home + volume up and down (Holding 20sec - 1min)

Power + Volume (Holding 20sec - 1min)

Power only (Holding 20sec - 1min)

Home button only (Holding 20sec - 1min)

All combinations you can think of and nothing worked.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

##### The steps I recall I did right before the device showed life #####

1. Plugged in Stock USB Cable into USB Port on computer

2. Plugged mini USB into HP Touchpad (still nothing)

3. Tried holding HOME button pressed and tapped Power button 30-40 times in rapid precession

4. Stop and waited (Noting Happened)

5. Unplugged USB from computer and then plugged into the Stock Power adapter that's was already

Plugged into a Power Strip.

6. Saw Home Button start blinking as soon as I plugged it in to the power adapter.

7. Waited for about 2-3min and then screen cam on with low batter symbol.

8. I let the Touchpad charge for about an hour and checked it and it was booted into android.

The total down time for my touch pad was about 1 day 1/2

Got a video of what my touchpad looked like during this process unfortunately didn't record me doing these actions or catching the home button blinking. I didn't grab the cam in time.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannydrift:
I am having the EXACT same problem as the OP. The battery on my Touchpad died one day, I sat it on the charger for two days and when I went to use it next, the screen would not come on.

I have tried all of the simple steps like trying a different charger, different outlet, different cable... nothing. Tried all button combinations, nothing. After doing every single button combination there is, the ONLY response I get from the Touchpad is what the OP said.

This is a refurbished Touchpad that was ordered when HP sold them on eBay in December. The tablet is now out of warranty and HP wants $235 if I want to send it in to get fixed. My Touchpad is just sitting here as a paperweight. There's no way I'm going to spend $235 to get this piece of crap fixed, so I'm willing to do anything to try to fix it.

Sending a TP to HP

Hope I'm not stating anything that has been stated already, so forgive me if I am.

I am currently trying to fix my coworkers TP, they wanted to go through HP first but HP wanted $300 to refirb it or $90 to troubleshoot it....just FYI in case.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delawaredrew:
I guess this is my situation also. 2 days ago I turned the TP off by mistake (was trying to restart it) then plugged it in to HP wall charger. It had 14% battery left at that point according to the onscreen warning. I wasn't concerned about turning it off, as even when I selected restart I always had to manually power it back on. 4 hours later - no life at all. I use the HP wall charger to charge other devices so I am certain it works.

I have tried all the usual button presses many many times, the hard reset, USB mode,.. even the repeated presses that some posters say revived their TP.

It has spent 10-12 hours connected to each of my laptops, with the only life being the Qualcomm HS-USB driver pop-up on the Vista laptop and "driver not found" on the W7 laptop.

Today I left it 8-10 hours on a lower amperage (800mA?) wall charger with no change.... I'll try an even weaker charger tonight if I can find an older one.

Kinda bummed about it as I was actually using it in the few months since I installed CM9.

I've seen a post about opening the case and directly charging the battery, but I'll only attempt that if there is no further hope .
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexigga:
sigh...same here. TP failed at 12% I then made the mistake of resetting it by pressing home + power and it has since been "off"; only detectable as a unknown palm device or qhsub(?) device. At any rate, when I press and hold home + power windows males the beep after 30 seconds as if it is "disconnecting" and then will make another beep as if it is "connecting".

WebOs doctor doesn't detect device nor does Novacom. (novacom boot mem:// < nova-installer-image-topaz.uImage)

Any ideas on how to get this one up and running again?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delawaredrew:
No progress... Just a paperweight, I've seen zero life from it in 4 days now:crying:. But you're getting more action than I am if you're hearing a beep from your comp when you home/power the HP and it is seeing a palm device. I just get the Qualcomm message.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexigga:
Yep. Same here. Going to sell and cut my losses...
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delawaredrew:
Is there still a market for these things? I'm also a little leery of sending it away without being able to wipe my data; in case someone else can resurrect it. I'll probably hold on to it and see if a few weeks of sitting unplugged allows the battery to fully drain, maybe that'll alter something... if not I might crack it open.

In better news I am using the dead HP as an excuse to buy a new tablet, probably a Nexus 7 or maybe 10!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexigga:

Got a year old unit sitting in a box to work!

This is what finally worked for me: rootzwiki.com/topic/24844-touchpad-wont-charge-or-boot/page__st__60#entry1060492

Ok.. I gave my wife a touchpad a year ago, charged it up, and she never used it. So today I decided to bring it out and try CM9 on it.. Low and behold, Home Button LED was flashing left to right while on charger for 4 hours.. It won't turn on.. So took it off the charger./. put it on my PC USB, tried the hold power and press the home button 20 times on both connections.. no luck.. then plugged it back into the HP charger.. no luck same flashing.. waited 10 minutes.. no change.. no low battery red symbol.. so this time I unplugged the USB cable going into the HP TP charger (not mini going into touchpad cause that's to breakable) and then tapped it in and out of the USB socket a few times in frustration. and what to my wonder eyes should appear as I tired out after doing the quick plug/unplug but the Battery Charging Red symbol!! It's working Again!! Guess that USB power spiking was enough to kick start the charging circuit.. I only got the idea from a post I seen earlier [sorry forgot where] where someone opened their unit and placed a wire on the battery lead, and got theirs to work by connecting he wire to 3.6v.. I'd thing you wouldn't want to do this on a good USB connection on your computer or charger, so do it on an old 1AMP phone charger just in case the surge kills the power brick.. BTW.. I'm guessing it could kill the TP too SO ONLY TRY THIS AS A LAST RESORT!!

[RESOLVED] Dual booted cyanogenmod + webos won't turn on

I haven't used the touchpad in almost two months but had it plugged in to the electrical outlet with the stock charger running the entire time.

This time it didn't turn on. Tried other adapters to charge it and nothing worked.

Then tried all the Volume up, Down, Home, and power button pressing methods to no result.

Attached it to the computer held the power button and it turned on with the boot menu showing.

Once booted it showed FULLY CHARGED.

I have recently read that there are some charging issues but it would appear that it fell into some deep sleep while in CM9.

Using CM9 2012-0813-NIGHTLY and now have plans to update to a newer nightly version.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unihumi:
I had the same problem and your workaround fixed it: Hold Power + Volume up and then pressed Menu a few dozen times. Then the HP logo appeared to me again. :)

What's strange is, that the Touchpad was fully charged. I have no idea what got it into the state of this semi-soft-brick.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devis:
I had tried all, and I mean ALL methods described. Nothing had worked. TP sat in a drawer for a couple of months. Then a few days ago I pulled it out, plugged it in and I got the cylon eye button flash from side to side. Left it there for about 3 hrs. Then came up, all on its own. 2% battery. Now running again.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E-P-S:
Same problem here. Original HP Charger+cable. Works fine on wifes Touchpad.

Mine powered down and lay there for 3 weeks (i got no time)

I've tried all kinds of combos, plug in plug out.

the ONLY thinks that shows a reaction is: hold vol down and plugin into pc usb.

(unknown device)

i have no other sign of life. only a black screen. no home-light or other :(

webos doc doesnt find the device...

i have no other idear.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
I'm assuming you don't have a touchstone, so my advice would be to connect /charge via your PCs usb socket for at least a couple of hours as this will probably trickle charge it enough to turn on after which you should be able to charge normally.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E-P-S:
thanks for your help.

no touchstone. i've tried so many kinds..

- charging with orginial hp charger+original hp cable

- charging with samsung galaxy 0,7A charger

- charging with orginial charger+universal usb cable

- charging original hp cable on pc usb (0,5a)

- charging with 2A 3rd party charger

- hold power 15/30/60sek

- hold power+home 15/30/60sek

- hold power 15sek and after that - hold power+home 15sek

- hold power and tab home 30x

- hold home and tab power 30x

plug in and plug out the usb cable 15-30x

charging for many hours / try

the tab shows NO reaction.

only if i plug in to pc and hold vol-down pc is searching for drivers...
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
I realise you're frustrated but have you charging original hp cable on pc usb (0,5a) for at least a couple of hours or more without trying to turn it on it can see you've tried lots of different methods but I'm unsure how long you have left it trying to charge without turning it on or trying to.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E-P-S:
yes i do. but i will give it a try like you say - without trying anything.

now i deplug the TP from the original power supply.

and put it into the pc usb port.

hit any buttons?

what is the touchstone? i have buy one from ebay now. 52eur with shipping costs.

will it charge the TP if the device is sooooooo empty?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
Yes unplug from original charger and connect to pc while turned off. Leave it for at least a couple of hours, preferably overnight. This should trickle charge with the lower voltage to effectively wake up the TP. And allow you to turn it on after which you should then be able to connect it to the normal HP Charger.

The touchstone provides a lower inductive charge and has been found to wakeup and charge the TP. It's saved mine before I started using an automatic shut down app. See this article http://www.reverendkyle.com/index.php/articles/146-hp-touchpad-charging-issues-solution but I would try this first and have noticed that when sold with the TP adds about £25 to the price. Why not add your location to your next post maybe someone could lend you one?

I would be happy to try for but don't know if the postage would be prohibitive.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E-P-S:
Good morning from cold cold germany.

Sadly nothing new. TP overnight on PC USB. Try to start it -> nothing.

Again all kinds of combos.

Ok I'm just waiting for the ordered touchstone....
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
Oh well it was worth trying. Good luck with tjhe Touchstone and it's not that warm here either.

When you get it just place the Touchpad on it with the camera at the top or in landscape with the camera to the LEFT as you look at it as they are the only way it charges,, once again leave it for a couple of hours at least.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E-P-S:
Touchstone just arrived. Will try to boot later this afternoon (6 pm or so)

For NOW no reaction. No LED flashing or something else. wife's touchpag will charge directly :)

pull the thumps. but what kind of button combo try first?

all step by step?

cant believe the device is out of order because only battery drain.

ok guys i will report later
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
You received that quickly.

With luck it will just turn it's self on after it gets sufficient charge that has been the way it has worked for me. Otherwise I would first just hold the power button for 15 to 30 seconds and then if that doesn't work both the power and home buttons for the same amount of time.

Good luck, you deserve it.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E-P-S:

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
Does that mean it's now working? If so did it just boot up by itself or did you have to do anything else?

It might be the HP usb cable

Hi everyone:

Just wanted to update you all on my situation. I have a Touchpad is is dead. Black screen, tried all the possible button combo, holding them for xx minutes and all. I swapped out the USB cable that came with the HP charger and finally got a low battery indicator. I then verified the again with the ith the stock HP usb cable, no low battery indicator, just a blank screen. With the new USB cable, after about 15 minutes of charging with with the low red battery indicator, it booted back into Android. All is well now. So the moral of the story, try swapping out the usb cable.

Now that everything is back up and running, I again tried the HP usb cable and it is also charging. But I am not going to use it anymore and it might have a short.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leif2:
my TP battery was drained. It was then left in a droor for a few weeks. Now iv'e left it on my touchstone charger as well as regular charger for 3 days straight each. I get no indication on screen. Tried holding down power vol and home. Charger doesn't get hot when charging. I've confirmed chargers charge my other touchpad fine. This was a very lightly used touchpad and I only recently put android on it for the first time so I'm thinking android is partly to blame here. Recently my other touchpad required took 2 days constant charge on cradle before it would turn on. Never had this happen before I switched to android. Anything else I can do before selling for parts or buying a replacement battery? Can battery really die like this? Like I said it was a lightly used touchpad so battery should still be good?

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

quick edit to my post right above..

For the first time I notice activity. The home button is lighting up in sequence with its two lights side to side while sitting in touchstone cradle. Hopefully this means it will turn on. This after vigorously pressing all the buttons on the touchpad for a few minutes.
