Hey Guys I returned my B50 dock a while back when I heard about the battery discharge issue. Now with school starting I'm going to need it. I was wondering where I can be sure to be sent a B70 dock online. My local Best Buy has docks but all of them are B50's I almost bought another one, good thing I checked the serial number before the cashier checked me out.
I bought the B70 from Frys Electronics, but it still had the battery discharge issue so I took it back.
I would try another Best Buy, if you have any more near you. I bought a B80 at the Best Buy near me yesterday (Tacoma, WA).
I got my B80 at Amazon.
Ordered mine on amazon and lucked out with b80.
I ordered through Amazon 2 nights ago with local shipping and got a B70
Thanks guys, I'm going to try another Best Buy tomorrow. If not I'll definitely do it through amazon then.

I received my 2nd transformer today (1st went back for light-bleed) and when I unboxed, I noticed that the wall-plug charger was already assembled. I distinctly remember having to assemble the wall charger before use on my first TF.
Is it likely I was sent a TF that was already returned or is pre-assembling the wall charger something Asus is doing with the latest batches of TFs?

Im fairly sure mine came in 2 parts but im sure ive seen people posting stating it was assembled.
I wonder if its anything to do with the fact that they had problems with the early chargers ?
Take it back. Returned item for Sure! Should be in two pieces and wrapped in celophane!

was the box factory/security sealed ?
They are now shipping assembled, mine came assembled and it was wrapped (everything was ) and the box was sealed on both ends. It was also the very first unit that my local Staples store has sold. I bought mine 6 days ago.
My buddy since bought one and his was assembled also.
Yep, everything seemed sealed up properly. Wall charger had cellophane over it.
My first and second one were not assembled, the last 4 that I just tried (first three had speaker imbalance) did come assembled. I wouldn't worry about it unless your box seal was broken.

This will be the first thing I check once its done charging. I'll report back...
Light-bleed...worse than the one I sent back. I'm going to look up the return policy for Kmart. I want to wait till they have these in store so I can do a straight up exchange. My patience is wearing thin and over my dead body am I paying for more shipping. My total cost for the unit is already $30 over retail thanks to these returns.
Ok, so I ordered a used 32GB Transformer on Amazon at a great price, but was wondering even if it is either a B7 or B8 should I even bother keeping it cause I cannot get root? I mean will it really come? I will get it tomorrow and will know more if it can be rooted or not, but if it is not, should I just return it and get something else?
no i dont think you should get something else this is the best out there and allot of people have said that it is the first stock experience they were really happy with and with garenteed ics in the next few months that experience can only get better

Well I am just hoping even if I am lucky enough not to get a B7 or B8, that it can be done for all the others.
I got my used 32gb from Amazon a few days ago, it is a B50. I would be willing to wager yours will be the same. I think Amazon got a bulk purchase returned and are now reselling them. Also so you know, mine came in perfect condition, still had the protective film on the bottom and on the usb cord. It was missing the screen protector film, but otherwise you wouldn't know it was "used". Came in the original box with instruction envelope charger and cord.
the transformer is a great stock device. I've owned about 5 android smartphones(Droid, Droid x, incredible, fascinate, thunderbolt) and rooted them all to feel like they were worth it and usable. I haven't even thought about rooting mine and I got it when it first came out. this tablet is great right out of the box and wouldn't trade it for any other tablet out right now, especially if you got the keyboard.

That gives me a bit a relief, I ordered a 32GB "Like New" one for $311 shipped. I have good things about Amazon Warehouse Deals like new products, some say they "are" brand new for the most part, as you said. I will find out later today when it comes in...got to love Amazon Prime one day shipping!
I bought a new one and it didn't come with a screen protector

I was going off a youtube "unboxing/review" video I saw, it showed a plastic film thing on the screen. Nothing you would want to leave on there as it was thick and had lots of air bubbles under it.
As for Amazon prime.......omg I can't tell you how nice it is. For me I don't have to even do the $3.99 overnight, I am in Indiana the warehouse is just across the border in Kentucky so the free two day shipping means overnight to me 99% of the time. I actually got something the same day once
What's the going rate on the 16GB models. I've find a local unit on Craigslist that's bone stock. It's 6 months old with all the original packaging and cables.
Dock included, if not still decent? That's a good deal, I got mine for $299 with dock on Black Friday brand new, so that's good. Make sure it's not a lemon though, light bleed etc..

Thanks,
No dock, just the Transformer. I'll check out the screen when I meet the guy tonight. Thanks for the info.
Hi all...I found this deal on Ebay for an Asus 32gb TF300-B1 (not enough posts to leave a link....google search for "Asus 32GB TF300-B1 EEE Pad Transformer" should pull the listing in the first few entries).
It seems to have the same specs as the TF300F. Is this the same machine as TF300F and therefore can flash ROMS developed for it? Is this a good deal (it's refurbished of course)? worth the bother? etc...
Thanks for any info you can provide!
OK never mind....

I bought a Refurbished TF300T for the same price on Ebay. Works great for me and in great condition. I would definitely recommend preping to put a ROM on it if you get it, mine suffers from some lag in some of the Chrome/Internet browsers, but oythers have reported it as well. I dont game on it so I can't really comment on that, but for Surfing the web, Netflix, XBMC, Reading...media consumtion...it fits my needs perfectly. Will be even better when I get a clean, stock Rom on it.
Since my TF300T motherboard failed (according to Asus tech) They want $200 to fix it. I found that Fry's is selling a brand new Tf300T for $200. I guess I will have to buy that one as Asus does not warranty their parts or repairs. I just bought a case for my tablet and docking station 2 days before my tablet died. It hadnt even arrived before I sent the tablet to Asus.
Please ignore this. I just went to order and it is out of stock. Sucks. I have a dock, a new case for both, and a great leather case for tablet only. what a waste. Thank you Asus for not caring about your customers.
I was only 3 months out of warranty when it went out. I guess I wont be buying any other Asus components for the computers I buy if they have such low quality customer service.

It turned itself off and never came on. No lights nothing. They said it's the motherboard.

Sounds like the motherboard, except they rarely, if ever, go out like that without some kind of impact. Did you try to charge it? I mean if the battery ever comes loose for example, it evidently cannot turn on.
If you bought a refurbished, all the more reason to open it and troubleshoot. You're in San Diego. If you want, I can loan you a working motherboard without audio so you can try to make sure it's your motherboard.

There's a few threads about the Ebay receivers already. They have pretty good info about them. Also, I have an Ebay receiver and pad and it works just fine.
