If the screen is off and won't turn on, make sure the battery has a charge. Plug in your device for 30 minutes before trying anything else. If it is on or if the battery has a charge you may need to "hard reset" the Nook. Although this is very uncommon, it may happen. Below are a few solutions that may help.

  • Hold down the power button for 10-15 seconds. The Nook should power off and you can turn it back on again. Everything should work normally.
  • If that does not work you will need to hold down the power button and the "N" button for 10 or more seconds. Again, this should force your device to power off and you can start it up normally.
  • Take out the N2A Card and try the same steps again. Your Nook should boot up into Nook mode. You'll have to restart it again with the N2A Card in to boot up in Android mode.
One of the tasks above will usually correct this issue unless you have a hardware problem with the Nook. Our cards cannot cause hardware problems unless they are forcefully inserted wrong. If you determine you do have a hardware problem you will need to take the Nook back to the retailer if it is still under warranty. The Nook usually comes with a one-year (non-accidental) warranty through Barnes & Noble. Some retailers, like Best Buy, exchange them in the store under warranty.
Don't forget to hold onto your N2A Card until they return your Nook!
If you still have any kind of issue thenhttp://www.tablethelpline.com/nook-support/ you can take Nook Help from experts by calling nook customer service number.

This resets your Nook back to factory (Just Out of the Box) defaults.

Wont turn on

Reboot by holding power button and pressing start button. Check to make sure Nook is charging. Cord that plugs into Nook may be loose in port. Try wiggling and pressing power button at same time.

My nook will not turn on

Without further explanation, pictures or details of what you tried, it's hard to tell what exactly is wrong with your Nook. However, assuming that the battery is still good you will need to "reboot" your Nook.


Unlike other tablets, there is no reset button, but you can try this.


While pressing the Nook button (upside down u on the front of the tablet), press the power button on the side. You will need to hold it for couple of seconds.
