Hello everyone! This is my first post on this forum and I hope you can assist me with a little problem regarding my Nexus 7.
As the title says, my 16 GB Nexus 7 (2013) won't boot unless the battery is unplugged and replugged. If I turn it off and then try to boot it using the power button - nothing happens. And not a single button combination that I could think of would turn it on (I tried holding the combinations for up to 2 min). But what will turn it on is removing the back cover and unplugging the battery connector for a few seconds and then plugging it back in. This procedure works but it is not very practical as taking the back cover on this tablet does take some time .
I have tried the manual full flash of the stock Android 4.4.2 image but nothing has changed. I have also unlocked the bootloader and cleared/wiped the cache prior and after the fresh installation. I have never tried flashing the device with custom ROM or played around with custom kernels.
I really have already spent too much time looking for an answer online, so I would like to hear what possible solutions and suggestions you might have? I will appreciate every suggestion or an opinion. Oh and yes - I don't have the receipt for the device so warranty does not come into consideration.
