Won't boot - only vibrates when I press power

[Guest mrbill1234]

My blade will not boot - all I get is a half-second vibrate when I press the power button.

I had clockwork installed, but this does not come up when I press either of the volume buttons and the power. Just get a vibration.

Any ideas how I can recover from this? I've tried taking out the sim/SD/battery - still nothing.

I've plugged it into the power - nothing still.

It had been working fine for some time. This morning I found it was off (probably due to running out of power), so I switched it on and saw the android green icon, but then just left it, and when I looked again about an hour later, this happened.

False alarm - it is booting now! It seems my battery had ZERO power, and my USB charger was not plugged in properly.

So there is one for the FAQ - pressing the power button and just feeling a quick succession of vibrations means there is not enough power to boot.

I was about to tell you to charge your battery - you beat me to it
