I think I have a broken transformer - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The screen will not turn on at all. It makes sounds when I plug it in and the screen has a sort of backlight that come on, it connects to my computer, I was able to run nvflash but at no time did it show it was working on my asus screen and after it loaded it didn't restart with the prime rom. I'm not sure if anyone has suggestions outside of selling this for parts and accessories but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

re-run nvflash maybe a bad flash

Issue is nothing even shows up on my asus screen while its running like in the video.
Just tried again.
The computer reads it but my screen is blank.

So you cant see the slightest trace of the backlight ?
If thats the case i recommend flashing stock rom and partitions etc etc and send it to asus thats there screw up not yours

Could it be something about the launcher?I had the problem once before after installing ADW Ex and the tablet didn't know which one to choose causing a black screen.
May be also in your case.

It is similar to this. Since I bought this on craigslist and have no receipt I fear my options are limited but willing to pay some money to have it fixed. Hopefully they have a good answer otherwise it might be sold for parts and the risk of someone else getting a cheap working transformer.

Fing the thread were someone opened theirs up and reattached the ribbon cable. They left very good pics of the process and i bet your screen will come back as its obviously booting

I agree with :thebadfrog:. I had this happen to mine just the other day. Opened it up, reattached the lose cable, and BOOM! works perfectly fine now.

Will give this a shot. Either way thank you both for your help.

I had it for a second and then I lost it. I can confirm the screen is not broken but something must be off from dropping it. It had the NVflash message in the top left screen. This was 10 minutes ago and I haven't it back but its a start.
That being said this might be too much for me and might have to sell it cheap on here for someone more tech savvy.
Will keep working and thanks for your help.

Anyone knows the xda rules to try and sell this? I'm sure someone can get it to work and would part with it for pretty cheap.

how much is pretty cheap? pm me with a number

Sensation - Back cover poor quality, tarnish

Hi folks,
I've had my Sensation for 3 days tops and something has happened to the back cover. It doesn't wipe off, have absolutely no idea what caused this.
Pretty poor considering it's two days old and treated with kid gloves, couldn't have looked after this phone more if I tried. Crazy.
My GS2 is still prestine, not a mark or scuff anywhere.

ive had the exact same problem, treated phone with super care. i sent it in last tuesday because of this... makes no sense :<
Nothing like that on either of my two back covers. I'd get it exchanged.

ffs... you had to send the entire phone back?
I've changed roms and allsorts already.
Yeah I'd ask HTC to supply you a new one, not acceptable really. Probably only a minor problem on a select new units because the build quality is usually top notch.
I've emailed HTC via the customer service channels on their site and attached a pic. See how it goes. Sending the entire phone back would be ridiculous. Cost them more in shipping, hassle and man hours.
I had a similar issue I think with my original cover. I had it less than 10 days, always on micro cloth etc. and I had a spot in the back cover. Of course everyone here will tell you it is something you are doing wrong but I handle my phones with the greatest care and always get top dollar for resale.
In the End HTC sent me a new cover and I have not had anymore problems so far, knock on wood..
T-Mobile have said I would need to replace the whole handset if I go through them. I hope HTC have a better answer, got it setup how I like, the battery is warmed up and broken in nicely too.

[Q] Issues with battery connectors

Anyone having this problem? (see attached images)
Makes my phone reboot a few times every freaking day.
I can peel the connector out with a needle. Just mailed HTC asking if it's a warranty-issue.

I'm stressed as hell, so sorry for the bad writing.

I'm sorry this happened. I do hope they stand behind this with warentee. Please
Keep us posted on the issue.in the mean time you can wedge a small piece of paper under the battery and this will stabilize it some and hopefully cut down on the amount of reboots your getting. It's worth a try. I know it's a proven fix for a "loose" battery. It just might stabilize the contact for you. I really hope it helps! At least until you can get a repair . Give it a shot. Best wishes .

I tried that, just pushes the pin further in, and the reboots keeps on coming.. I'll keep you posted!
Thanks
tweezers,and pull it out slowly....or go to repair shop they will change it with new one.
HTC replied that it's NOT a warranty issue. I have to pay for the service my self.
I'm going to email them again and tell them that it's not acceptable. If you buy a new car and the engine breaks after less then one year, are you going to pay for that? No. I'm not done with this.

Did you get anything solved with HTC? I have the same problem but I have all 4 pins completely down so I can't even put a piece of a paper on the top right corner of the battery. It just doesn't work at all. If you fixed it could you please tell me how? Or did you have it fixed? Thank you

[Q] Replacement Digtizier Problems

I own a Droid 4 and recently dropped it, cracked the digitizer, and replaced it. Now my touch screen is only detecting these thin horizontal lines on the upper half of the screen. I'm wondering if it's possible that I screwed up the phone on disassembly/reassembly or if it's more likely that the new digitizer is defective.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanks,
Alex
P.S. The attachment is a screen shot of my phone running an app which detects points sent by the touch screen/digitizer and records them.

Bump
Firstly - please don't bump your own threads, and certainly not until at least 24 hours have passed.
Secondly - The reason for you not getting a reply is likely due to the fact that XDA is actually supposed to be a "Development" site, not a "Hardware" site
Thirdly - The likelihood is that you either;-
a) bought a cheap, eBay special digitiser which is not fully compatible
b) didn't get the connections right on install
c) broke something else inside the phone when you dropped it
Start off by taking it all apart again and rebuilding it, if that doesn't work then decide if you want to spend more money buying another digitiser or just ditch the phone and get a new one.
P.S. Why include a pointless poll for this thread?
P.P.S. Not sure why, but you have made two posts and XDA shows you as only making one. Strange.
That is classic yo, made my night. Well I was just checkin in here cause I couldn't find a more appropriate forum. I figured someone might know something, but yeh sorry bout the bumps. Although it did get you to respond, hopefully I didn't break something. I don't think so because everything on the phone works perfectly, I even fixed the little headset speaker. After much arm pulling I finally convinced the company to give me a refund, we'll see if a new one does the trick.

Dead pixel/dust under the screen??

Im still awaiting a case/protection for my nexus 5, and until i have some protection for it its not yet my main phone, however ive been using it at home, and ive just noticed a mark under the screen, which could be a dead pixel or dust

outlined in red ( phots not that great but you can see the mark that doesn't move regardless of whats on screen) - highly irritating now i know its there, my eyes are drawn to it. would this be a RMA job?
Yeah, its kind of tough when it's near the middle of the screen like that. It really depends on how much it bothers you. Mine just came in the mail an hour ago and after playing around a little, noticed 1 small dead pixel on bottom right of screen. It's kind of gray, not black. But I'm not really noticing it, I have to really look for it and even then it's hard to see. My phone is otherwise perfect - no vibration issues, power button is solid, etc. I think I'll just keep it.

Yeah I would rma it. That would do definitely bother me.

I have a speck of something in almost exactly the same place. RMA won't be shipped until December 3. Hope the replacement doesn't have this issue.

its a dead pixel, mate
Its dead pixels. I had two of this massive dead pixels on my iphone 5 and the apple genius guys replaced it with a new one.
You should definately RMA it and get it replaced. I was planning to buy a nexus 5 myself but have been getting negative feedback on the speaker quality and the dead pixels issue hence I think I will either wait for the LG G2 Mini or something else.

[Q] Dust under the screen?

Hi,
I received the Opo yesterday and I notices a darker spot. Can you give some advice? I opened a ticket with One but I am so nervous about that.
I cannot take a good picture of that. It's like a red spot. It stucks there and I can see it with brilliant colours.
Thanks

Hmm, did you have a invite?
I dont have any problem with it.

Yes, I had an invite. Anyone can help?
Imho it could be one of three things
a) a defect in the screen: rather unlikely based on the shape
b) glue not fully dried --> i'm sceptical it could cause this. You may want to try an UV lamp to be sure though, no harm done.
c) actual dust/air under the screen. Only an RMA could fix that

Do you know what they will do? will they send me refurbished one? new one? or will fix mine? The thing is I ordered to Germany (my sister live there) and A friend will arrive to visit in a week. if I will miss this opportunity. I will have to wait to someone else to visit her.
it looks like I have a very similar issue, and after almost two weeks opening a ticket I still have had no reply at all....

I tried to get a new one in all way. I had a long discussion with them, but nothing. For they, it's a little problem of the display and they refused to change it.
Bad assistance, but we already know that. At the end, I decided to stay with the phone .
