Problem recap: reports a Velocity Cruz tablet with a blinking green charging LED that won’t boot and doesn’t respond to power/volume presses. correctly called out that transient power states can sometimes be cleared; if that hasn’t helped, the following prioritized checks and recovery options are the next steps.

Quick hardware checks (fast to try)

  • Try a known-good wall charger (tablets need more current than a PC USB port — aim for a 5 V, 2 A+ adapter) and a different USB cable.
  • Inspect the DC/mini‑USB port under a light for lint or bent pins; use compressed air (do not jam metal objects into the port).
  • If available, put a USB power meter or multimeter on the charger to confirm ~5 V output; a faulty charger/cable is the single most common cause.

If the charger/cable/port look fine but the tablet still won’t boot

  • The Cruz manual documents the charging LED and recovery method: the LED should glow red while charging, green when fully charged, and off when not charging. A blinking green pattern isn’t described in the manual and can indicate a nonstandard fault. If the unit ever shows the Cruz/Android logo or can enter recovery, the official recovery/firmware reinstall procedure uses a firmware ZIP placed at the root of an SD card and the volume/power key combo to launch the installer — follow the model’s user‑guide steps carefully.

When blinking green persists and the device is otherwise dead

  • Community reports show Cruz models sometimes become unresponsive (green LED blinking) after failed firmware updates or hardware faults; at that stage the repair path is either a battery/charger replacement or board‑level service. Replacement batteries and third‑party chargers are available for older Cruz models; if the device is valuable, contact Velocity Micro support / RMA per the manual before sending it out for repair. Also stop using the unit if the battery is swollen — that’s a safety risk. (androidtablets.net)

Short summary: rule out charger/cable/port first, confirm LED behavior against the manual, attempt an SD‑card firmware reinstall only if the tablet responds to the recovery key combo, and otherwise consider battery replacement or a professional repair/RMA.

Your posts are not particularly enlightening (so to speak). I assume you are having difficulties starting your computer. Have you tried holding down the power button for at least a number of seconds until the light goes out? I had that problem the other day with my laptop, and that's what I did, then I pressed the power button again to restart the system. There are times when laptops get into some weird state where the usual approaches don't work.

Alternative, if the above doesn't work - disconnect power brick, remove battery and then hold down the power button for 10-30 seconds. Re-install battery, plug in power brick (if desired) and press power button.
