[Q] My own keyboard problem - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got my Transformer yesterday and so far I have been happy. I got the keyboard today and when I went to connect it, that's when my issues started. The mouse cursor appears on the screen, the status bar shows the keyboard is attached, and the battery shows that it's charging.
However, the keys and trackpad do not work. I have noticed that if I rapidly press keys while inserting the tablet, I can hear clicks for about 5 seconds, but then it stops. What's strange is I can mount external storage via USB.
I have not rooted my tablet, and I have tried restoring to stock settings, and rerun the update. Not sure what else to do. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem

Maybe you can try the newest FW-V8.2.3.13 with Dock 0209 for solving this problem.

[Q] SOD I think..?

I'm running Prime 1.7 I never had any problems with my tablet. It has the creaking and light bleed. I was watching netflix the other day and watched all the way till the battery went completely dead 0%. I got home plugged it in and it charged up all the way but now the screen wont turn on. If i connect it to the mini hdmi i can see everything on the tv but screen still wont turn on.
I've tried:
Fixing Permissions
Clearing Cache
Undoing overclock
Removing SD
Turning it all the way off waiting then turning it back on.
Adjusted the Brightness
Changed Wifi.
I cant factory reset or anything in CWM because it doesn't show up on the tv through hdmi and i cant remember the each button pushes to do it blind.
Any Ideas?
Mine went blank once but that was the adw launcher. Rotating it fixed it and i was able to choose stock launcher. If nothing works you can try screencast to see the recovery on PC if you have Android sdk setup.
Did you try to hold down the Powerbutton till it switches off to make a correct Restart?
When the Tab is running hold the Powerbutton till it's off and wait till it starts again.
Normaly that helps with SOD.

You should press the power button 10 to 15 seconds...
So far nothing worked. I'm on stock launcher also.
I've tried to resetting it over and over still nothing.
I attempted to letting the battery die completely again.
Placed it on the dock and nothing.
Thank you for the suggestions. I will update if i ever solve the issue. I'm going to try screencast, but i never used it before.
I got screencast to open up and running. however it wont work in recovery. ADB recognizes it. I keep getting a blank screen. Any ideas?
I'm thinking the best option would be to nvflash it to stock and RMA it if it doesn't work.
NV Flash
Hi
if nothing else seems to work then NV Flash might be the best idea.
Could you share the BXX(First 3 digits of serial number)?
Thanks

[Q] keyboard doesn't show up

Hi!
There is a small problem with virtual keyboard - sometimes there is just no way to activate it. When trying to write in any text field, office app or whatever, cursor starts blinking but keyboard doesn't show up. I have to reboot the device to get it back working.
I have noticed that this might be happening only after TF has rebooted while sleeping.
What could be causing it and how to get that keyboard to pop up without rebooting?
So another reboot while in sleep this morning and again keyboard is not working. Tried to attach dock and I could write with it. Deattached dock and virtual keyboard showed up again.. Really confusing..
It's interesting that after factory reset and cold boot random reboots are not gone, but TF doesn't get stuck while booting. Could it be somehow related?
Any ideas on how to fix this will be appreciated,
Thank you.

[Q] TF700 keyboard keys not working (top row)

Hey, i was wondering anyone else was having this issue.
I have the Tf700 with the TF700 dock and everything was working great until recently. All of sudden now some of the top row of keys do not work/dont do anything when i press them. My: wifi switch key,bluetooth key, turn off touchpad key, and the screen brightness keys do not work. All the other keys on the keyboard work. Ive only had this tablet and keyboard for 3 weeks. Ive rooted and unlocked and its been working perfectly fine until this morning i went to turn off my touchpad, since it gets in the way of typing sometimes and it wouldnt turn off when i used to the Touchpad off key. Is there anything that i can do to fix this issue?
Try rebooting your tablet. Happened to me once, too. A reboot fixed it.

i tried that and it didnt work. I finally figured out what was the problem. I accidently turned off com.asus.keyboard process when i was editting my start up programs and disabling certain ones. So once i reenabled it, it worked fine
Thanks for your help though

[Q] external keyboard not working but charges tablet

I have the external keyboard, the tf500 one I believe and it has quit working. The tablet does not recognize it as being attached even though it can be charged from it. The sd card slot can be read and the docks charging light will turn on when plugged in. None of the buttons or touch pad work and under the system options menu it tells me that no MobileDock was found. I tried resetting, repeated unplugging, app uninstalling, system is up to date etc.
If you can think of something to try let me know or else I will have to return it to New egg or Asus. I have only had it for a few weeks...

Front buttons not working

All of sudden my front buttons (home,menu,back,search) stop working, however those button on the keyboard still works. If i power down and reboot the phone it works again and when the phone goes into sleep, the button stop working again. Anyone have any ideas? The phone is rooted, s-off with cm9 installed.

Not too sure, but I've come across the same situation before. I think it has something to do with not have a the micro sd card mounted. Did you by chance remove it at any point? Just a theory, seems to be the problem for me, I remove the card frequently to transfer files from my computer.
I thought that was the problem also, so i replaced the sd card and wipe and reflash the rom and still have same problem.

I experienced similar behavior with my old mt4gs, it ultimately proved to be a result of a worn flex cable between the two halves of the phone.

isnt the flex cable connected to the track pad also? that track pad still work fine. i know there separate flex for the power buttons, camera, and the the functions buttons
You COULD just move on to CM10 or CM10.1 where you have a navigation bar option you can use to bypass your physical buttons. If you remain on CM9 you can download Notepad++ and go to system/build.prop, open it for editing and add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 at the very bottom of the file. Once you reboot you'll have a navigation bar to use instead of your buttons. (Thank You Jesterfell)
Same problem for me. Fixed by replacing the flex cable.
i went back to the stock rom, so far it working again with no problems
