Transformer won't boot.

[Reeonimus]

I've seen these topics before but mine is a slightly different case. Here are the particulars:

It shut itself down when using the Gmail app.

It was at ~84% battery

Tried holding the power button for 10 or 20 or 30 seconds to reboot with no result.

I tried plugging it in to PC to see if storage still mounts but it does not.

I was able to get it into APX mode by holding power and vol down (or up, I can't remember) as it showed on the windows PC that it tried to install APX drivers but failed.

After holding power again it came out of APX mode but nothing displays on the screen.

I don't think its just a busted display panel because if it did reboot I'd see the storage mount.

It had a custom ROM on it and it is SBK2.

What do you folks think? Bricked?

Tried that as well, nothing will display on the screen at any time, no matter what I do.

Thanks for the tips guys. I left it off the charger overnight and the battery died so when I went to power it on today I got the dead battery on the screen. Plugged it in and it booted fine! Phew.

For anyone who may encounter this in the future I'll post this here so searching may help them.

The Transformer shut itself off twice on me with the same issue. I had full (or close to) battery and it shut off and would not turn on.

I believe it was still "on" in some way as after leaving it overnight and trying to power it on in the morning The depleted battery icon popped up on the screen. I plugged it in and it booted.

The second time it died on me I was using skype (first time using gmail) and I had to again wait for it to run out of battery before anything would display on the screen.

I have since restored back to stock (no root or CWM ) and am waiting to see if it happens again. If it does I'll update the post.
