Hi guys.

My NOOK HD+ is suffering of black screen. It seems to be able to boot into CWM, but the screen just stays black, when I try to boot from SD card. The NOOK itself won't show the "NOOK" boot logo, and stays with black screen forever. I know, that the display is not broken, since the LCD turns on, but remains black - the light is dimming during the boot into CWM, when pushing the "n"-button.
I am able to use the buttons to navigate, but I can't see anything trying to navigate to fix it.
I have followed the steps provided and created a bootable SD card (Sandisk 8GB HC) with CWM (NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).zip) (All worked with CM10.1 previously)
Then installed cwm-recovery-ovation-3.zip, cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-ovation.zip (CM10.2!!) and gapps.

Can anyone help me. If someone could provide screenshots of the CWM 6.0.2.8 menu (full) for NOOK HD+, this would be nice, to navigate in CWM without screen. I did somehow fixed this previously, but don't know how, since I can't see the screen.

I think you lack battery.
Try to turn the nook on (u get the black screen) and let it charge for 5 hours.
Eventually it will start by itself or you have to restart it manually.

Then you should be able to boot into CWM or whatever you wish to do :)

Did not fix the problem, but I did solved the issue...
It seems, that the display has a loose connection, and when flexing in the upper left and lower right corners, the display come on and off. I have not twisted the edges by force, but a small grip only can cause it.
So a faulty unit, rather than CWM issue. Thanks for the suggestions you gave me. :good:
