Nook HD+ running Cyanogenmod 12.1 won't power on

Has anyone else had problems with this particular combination not turning back on? I flashed it several weeks ago, and every time the battery has died (its primary user is a toddler), it's been a hassle to get it to start back up: lots of fiddling with the power cord, power button, N button, leaving it alone, and trying again before it finally turns on. And that's after it'd be plugged in for the whole night.

Last night, I couldn't get it to turn on (even though I was messing with it for half the run time of Guardians of the Galaxy), so I left it plugged in. Usually, it acknowledges a button press by showing the dead battery or charging icon before blacking out again, but now the only thing that happens is the light turns green when I plug it in. No icons, no reaction to button presses.

Anyone know anything?

Did you tried turning it off by holding down the power button for >30sec?
Sorry this response is so late: I never got an email notification that someone had responded to my thread.

But yes, I've tried a ridiculous number of things. And before this, booting up the Nook from a dead battery was a real hassle. It took a solid 10 minutes of trying different power button/N button/boot screen button presses. Even before the battery died, it's been a bizarre, and immensely frustrating, quirk of having CM 12 on my Nook. And the internet seems to be largely resource-free on anything remotely related to this topic.

Hi, near-total novice here, but I've just put CM12 on my Nook HD+ and everything is great except I have the same power down problem. Both Reboot and Power Off result in my Nook rebooting.
