I was shooting a video with my xoom and it powered off to a black screen. The led pops up showing that it is charging and it shows green when it is fully charged but will not register any button presses. I though about maybe flashing the stock sbf but i cant get my pc to recognize the xoom at all even after downloading and installing the drivers. I made created a new thread because i couldn't find anything about a xoom that wouldn't respond to the vol up/power combo. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to hear about your Xoom. Have you contacted Motorola yet?

The same thing happened to me, I never found a solution. I exchanged it for a new one at Costco. Good luck. :(

Same thing happened to me last night...I powered down the xoom and plugged it in over night, this morning I had a green light but it wouldn't turn on. I tried the Vol up key and power trick, I read someone else that someone was able to get Vol down and power to work as well....neither worked for me.

I am probably going to contact Motorola this morning when I have time unless someone else has a suggestion that works before that.

So did you have any custom mods on your Xoom or was it completely stock? Just to know if stock one can be bricked in that way
