    LOL. what I did the remedy the situation was to open it up and leave the back cover off since I have a case and just tap the module inside to turn it on.  For some reason the button isn't making contact with the power module properly.  I can't figure out why.

    Thanks! Did the same: opened it up, removed the button and closed back the cover. I can reach the button unit with smth thin like a small pencil

    How did you open the Nova up? I've tried without success and worry about destroying it completely.

    The back is attached on clips, so use smth thin, ideally a plastic tool for phones. A thin sharp knife will do as well, but may damage a bit the plastic.
    Clips are a bit tough to open, I was scared as well, but managed to open finally.

    I have the same problem on my Note Air 2 plus. I got it today, but it won't switch on. It is not inside a case...if you meant the magnetic case that it comes with. Do you mean that you took out the power button?

    when we say case, we mean the plastic shell that houses the hardware inside.  We had to take off the back case/cover/plate/whatever you call it to access the power module inside to switch it on because the physical button wasn't making contact with the module for some reason
