So the questions are:
(Edit: for the tablet and keyboard dock combo )
Should you wait till charge light goes green for 1st use?
Should you wait at least 8 hours on charge for 1st use?
Can you use straight away but wait 8 hours before using off external power/charge?
Can you use straight away but keep on external power till light goes green?
What light goes green?

Man...I could not wait 8 hours...I just charged it fully and use it on power cable. But I did let it discharge to almost 0 several times and letting it charged back up over night.
The charging light (sorry on the docking keyboard ) next to the sync/charge cable socket

I upgraded from my HTC Universal to a HTC TyTN II today, it's now been on charge for around 4 hours of the recommended 16 hours.
In the manual, it doesn't actually mention that you need to charge for any time, it does say the battery is partially charged.
The power light has gone from amber to green... how important is it I leave it for all 16 hours?
Can I leave it plugged into the mains but have a fiddle? Can I plug it into the USB power from my PC and start installing things or should I not be so impatient and leave it until the morning?
Thanks.

hmmm, Where's this recommended 16 hours initial charge ?,Well I personally have never done it neither heard of it.At the maximum,which I do is,3/4 hours and thats what the vendors or manufacturers from I have bought the device always said to me,But thats me,I might be wrong,anyway,somebody might give you better suggestion.
Yup!! you can take it off the mains charger and hook up with usb cable and you can even use it man !Well,it's always rather better to give it a slow charg through usb as it give a charge of 0.5 amps as compared to mains 1.0 amps.
Don't tell,you have yet not started using it ? come on! enjoy the beauty of your phone
BTW !! CONGRATS
Hi there!
I have a B80 Tablet which was working properly as it should, until on Wednesday I left it completely dry (both dock and tablet 0%) and now they won't charge at all!
The wall charger and cable were tested with my friends TF101 - working fine, no problems at all.
Also when I turned on in the evening it showed the Battery (with red status) icon which means it needs to be charged - I put it on the wal charger for 3 hours and the dock was not charged at all, and the tablet got 3% juice and that was it.
Neither the dock or tablet is charging - tried them separately
Also tried cold-boot, the "freezer trick", the USB trick - no success
Any suggestions? Experience?
Thanks!
P.S: 3.2.1 HC, KRAKD ROM, default kernel, no OC
Mine is doing something similar. Tablet will charge but keyboard won't. If I leave tablet connected to keyboard I will draining completely in less then 4 hours. I have the OG Transformer 101.
ICS (revolver tf101 4.0.0 RC1 with stock kernel)

Now I managed to get the tablet to 9% Via USB Port -.-
Also tested my friend's charger which works as well - but mine does not want to charge...
Ive got exactly the same problem with one exception, i am not able to charge it at all!! After all night connected to charget still 0% battery, in dual batter widget there is unknown battery error. Charger is ok. Dock is fully chargedand even from dock my tablet wont charge.
What is more i am not able to flash stock rom with nvflash, it disconnects after sending bootloader.
Do you have any ideas what to do now?

Just a few questions:
I plugged the dock on the wall charger without the tablet - it shows no life signs. Isn't the LED should be blinking? Also left the tablet on the wall charger for 2 hours and the battery was charged a bit (10%) - so it can't be the charger.
Also since it got a little charge - it can be hardware error with the battery. A loose cable?
Also managed to go back to stock ROM and no help - can it be that the cable has issues?
Battery voltage shows 7V BTW currently
Have you guys try using PC USB port alone and charge the tablet for like a day?
Put the tablet OFF and let it charge thru the day(12hrs) and see what happen.
Next, dock the tablet to it's keyboard and fire up. Go to settings - Developer options - USB debugging(uncheck).
Go to Settings - Asus customised setting - MobileDock Battery mode(uncheck).
Still docking, now restart the TF101.
And yes, the dock would blink when charging take place until it turn green when full charged..
Just tablet wouldn't charge
I have a similar same issue. It was working fine and then when i went to pick it up to use it wouldn't start up. So I followed all the tips i can find so far but no dice. Here are the rest of the info:
The unit will not turn on if I don't have the power cable plugged in.
1) When the cable is pulled out, the unit turns off and will not turn back on
2) When the cable is plugged in, it turns on and work just fine
3) When I put it on the keyboard dock, it turns on and work just fine
4) When I pull it out of the keyboard, it turns off and will not turn back on
5) I have soft reset, hard reset and factory reset (all with power plugged in) because nothing will happen without the power plugged in
6) Battery status shows 86% but not charging:
--When plugged into the wall
7) Battery status shows 86% but not charging while in the dock.
--The dock battery shows that it is charging and the light on the dock is green
I have tested and knows the charger works and the dock battery works.
The main unit battery will not deplete and will not charge.
What do I need to do?

Ive done exactly the same tests, and behaviour of my tablet is almost the same (battery 0%)
I am waiting for a responce from Asus.
Honestly speaking i am glad to hear that someone else has the same problems and the same symptoms. It means that the Asus hardware or ICS update messed something up.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
I hope ASUS says something, becuase this is driving me crazy - out of the blue suddenly not working.
I charged the tablet via USB overnight - 46% right now, but the dock does not want to go up from 0%
And it looks like it charges via the wall charger as well, but it is the same as via USB - so the "real" charging is not triggered.
Fixed!!!
Looks like the wall charger charged with 5V, but not with 15V properly - which is utterly strange.
Waiting for a new replacement charger - with 12V 1A should be working.
BTW, if you want to do this, there are already threads.
You need a Molex Female and a USB Female cable - wire it like on the picture.
Yellow cable from Molex to USB red and the black cable from Molex (next to the red) to USB Black - that's it.
Great that it works for you but I don't think that is my problem though. I can't get it to trickle charge from the USB even. And the battery widget said "battery health = unknown error".
I guess I will still wait...

My charger is 100% good (tested on my friends tablet). Besides it should charge from dock but it doesnt!
Still waiting for asus responce.

GOOD NEWS! Tired this and keyboard showed 99%. I will need to run power down and try to charge later to see if fixed completely.
Now for what I did.
Took the base AC charger from my Galaxy Nexus, any base should work, then used the standard USB cable that came with the Transformer and plugged it into the AC charger and the keyboard dock without tablet attached. Plugged into the wall and got nothing. No lights or anything. Then switched back to the AC charger base that came with the Transformer. Plugged into wall and I got a green light on the keyboard dock so I then docked the tablet. The dual battery widget showed 17% tablet and 99% dock. At last check it was 27% tablet and 99% dock.
Hope this is a fix.

Hi davebugyi, so if I understand correctly, the solution is to use a 12V 1A USB charger to revive the battery of a dead dock? I have the issue as per my post here
Needless to say the dead dock battery is driving me mad!! Even opened up the dock and flipped the battery switch inside!!

Thanks so much for this. This just happened to me too and was tearing my hair out why it wouldn't charge. Done trickle usb charge for 5 min from my phone plug and then plugged normal charger in again and instead of 0% it was at 33% and is now charging again.
Hope This helps
I had this problem for so long, that i even gave up on looking for fixes.
the problem was that i remember dropping my adapter accidentally, so it became loose. but I didn't know this, I thought the cable was faulty. so simple fix...if your adaptor is loose, try fitting it in place.
sorry for my bad sentence structure and bad description, hope it helps
Howdy, I'm having trouble charging my tf300t. All I'm getting is a blinking orange LED by where you plug in the 40-pin, and it's not noticeably charging, if at all. At the moment, my dock's battery is at 0%, and the pad's is at 68%, and it won't charge even when plugged directly into the charger. The cable is another separate one I bought off amazon, works fine, and the charger is good. I'm updated to the latest firmware, .29, rooted, and have the custom build.prop in. I've tried a variation of things, restarting, temp un-root, restoring the original build.prop, and just about everything I can think of. Please help? And if y'all don't know, at least we can try figuring out the blinking light.
I saw this blinking light too last night when my dock had 0% charge. I just reseated the connector and it worked fine afterwards.
Thanks

Thank you sir, it also seems like my cable was bad, I got another, and it charged fine.
Good to hear you fixed it! I'm guessing the blinking light means the tablet has a charging connection, but isn't receiving a current?
Ive seen a lot problems with cables charger....is it that asus is not doing a great job or u guys dont take care of stuff ???

im getting the blinking light now as i type. How is the battery on your dock?It's quite awful on mine, wet from full charge to about 0 in about an hour or two and only charged the dock like 13%. Any tips or is this the norm?

Hi guys, i drained my tablet and dock and when i charged both simultaneously only the tablet was charging and dock remained at 0 while its led is blinking, all keys are functioning properly, i tried reconnecting usb but still dock is not charging. Any advice?
THANKS!:good:
I'm pretty sure it's only blinking because it's below 10% or whatever the low battery setting is. I'm also pretty sure the charging function sends all of the charge to the tablet until it reaches a certain level, maybe even fully charged. Therefore, the dock doesn't even start charging until after the tablet is done, so the light will continue to blink until it's charged enough. When I plug mine in with the dock dead, the dock flashes and the tablet is a steady orange light. Once the tablet is charged its light turns green and then the dock stops flashing and completes charging.

My tablet was already 100% and I even let the dock charging alone for few hours and still 0%. All keys are functioning properly, I even try a cold boot but it doesnt solve the problem.
Yesterday after having the tablet full charged I noticed that the battery was draining pretty quickly. Now after having it charging all night with the power off, w/ the charge light on, I powered it up to See that it only had 7 %charged. Now with it on and charging the level stays about the same if no goes down. Now I the charger is a bit temperamental but this is bad. Could the battery be bad organ I reset the battery memory in recovery?
please check your charger current mark. and you can charged xoom by pc usb port.

No, the USB doesn't charge the Xoom. Only the Family edition and Xoom 2, from what I understand can be charged via USB.
I've found that the tablet will show the battery icon as charging but when powering off wiith Quick Boot and not touching the cord the charge light is not on.
I love this tablet but I'm beginning to feel that after my Verizon contract runs out it may be time to move on. It's quite a shame.
Hey all, I have a stock tf700t that was working well until the charger cable snapped. Several months passed before the replacement cable arrived. So I put it on to charge overnight, and got both the orange light initially and then the green led to say it was fully charged. But I can't get it to respond to any attempts to turn on. I tried the usual
Pwr held for 30 sec.
Pwr and volume buttons
and stincking a pin in the reset hole
- but nothing happens. no vibration or LCD response?
Reading some forums, I tried to use a PC USB port to trickle charge the device, but interestingly this does not light the LED's.
Any ideas as to what is happening?

Do you remember the charge state before you stored it? Li-ion batteries generally don't like being stored in a totally discharged condition, and if the voltage drops below a critical level, the battery can even be permanently damaged.
Try charging the tablet from a PC USB port (directly - not via the dock) - it's normal that in this case the LED does not light up.
thanks for the advice, I am pretty sure it would have been <5% battery, maybe even lower. I hope the battery is okay, and will try your idea.
The trickle charge via USB takes a long time. Leave it connected for at least 6 hours and make sure your PC doesn't hibernate or sleep.
